Have you tried using aromatherapy to help you overcome blocks and obstacles?
Essential oils work on all levels of the body-physical, emotional, mental, and
spiritual bodies. An aromatherapy session begins with an assessment regarding
the current status of the physical, emotional, and mental bodies and any other
health challenges present. Priorities are discussed and then a plan of action
using several essential oils or blends is mutually decided on for optimum
results.
Some applications include:
Inhalation throughout the day
Massage (Raindrop Technique)
Soaking in the bath
Diffusing in the air
Acupressure & reflexology points
Topical application on distressed area
Integration with meditation or other therapies
I have personally used the essential oil blends of Clarity, Brain Power,
Acceptance, Awaken, Dream Catcher, Forgiveness, Release, Surrender, Gratitude,
Believe, Grounding, Inner Child, Into the Future, Magnify Your Purpose,
Motivation, Live with Passion, and Abundance as I progressed through my mid-life
transition. I am now on my sixth (or is that seventh) career. Are you
experiencing...
Lack of abundance
Stuck in an old job
Blocks in manifesting your dream
Inability to make a career transition
Repeating the same relationship patterns
Perhaps there is an emotional component that needs to be released first.
Aromatherapy sessions can include either an auricular technique where oils are
applied on the acupressure points of the ear or topical application of oils on
the energy centers of the body (feet and torso) accompanied with a short
meditation. Once the emotional pattern is released the rest of the body can be
brought into harmony. Contact Russell Louie for a personal aromatherapy session
(prices start at $50/session for a one hour consultation) at (303) 271-1649 or
Russell@OptimumChoices.com.
Russell is also a Reiki Master and can combine Reiki energy with the
aromatherapy session if requested.
How do essential oils help with emotional issues?
The connection between emotional stress and illness has long been established.
But we are just beginning to understand the role of childhood events, past
emotional trauma, and present negative emotional patterns on the rest of our
lives. It was only recently (1989, New York Medical University) that scientists
discovered the role of the amygdala gland in storing and releasing emotional
trauma. Studies at New York Medical University proved this gland does not
respond to sight, sound or touch but does respond through the sense of smell.
Since the amygdala gland is sensitive to scents, aromas can be used to effect
the release of old emotional traumas and patterns. Through our scents we now have a way to
release stored emotional trauma.
How
have essential oils been used historically?
Essential Oils are literally humanity’s first medicine kit:
An oil distiller over 6,500 years old was found in Pakistan.
As early as 4500 BC, written records show substances with aromatic
properties were used for medicinal and religious purposes.
The Egyptian architect, Imhotep, around 2700 BC, was credited with using
herbs, oils and aromatic plants for medicinal purposes.
A sacred room in the Temple of Isis portrayed a ritual called, “Cleansing the
Flesh and Blood of Evil Deities.”
The Egyptians believed a soul could not move on to its afterlife if it held
emotional baggage.
King Tut’s tomb contained alabaster jars enough to hold 350 liters of oil.
Robbers chose to steal the oils first over all the other gold treasures.
There are over 180 references to aromatics, oils and ointments in the Bible.
Moses used hyssop branches and lamb’s blood to ward off the plague.
Traditionally, Hyssop is known for its antiseptic and anti-infectious
properties. The three wise men presented the Christ child with gifts of
Frankincense and Myrrh.
During the Middle Ages, a group of spice merchants robbed dead corpses. The
“thieves” used a blend of Clove, Cinnamon, Lemon, Eucalyptus and other oils to
protect them from the Black Plague.
Modern day usage of Essential Oils began when a French physician used them in
hospitals during World War I for their antibacterial and wound-healing
properties. Dr René-Maurice Gattefossé, a French cosmetic chemist, is considered
the father of Aromatherapy. In 1910, he was burned in a laboratory explosion. Dr
Gattefossé said that, “both my hands were covered with rapidly developing gas
gangrene.” He further stated, “just one rinse with Lavender essence stopped the
gasification of the tissue.”
Another French doctor, Dr Valnet, used therapeutic grade Essential Oils in China
during World War II to counteract infections. Two of Dr Valnet’s students
expanded his work in the early 1960s by clinically investigating the anti-viral,
anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and antiseptic properties in therapeutic grade
Essential Oils.
Ancient Egyptians used essential oils for medicinal purposes and to cleanse the
emotional body. During the Middle Ages thieves used essential oils to avoid the
plague. Come join us as we rediscover the therapeutic uses of essential oils
including: fighting colds & viruses, relieving stress & pain, releasing
emotions, safe use on animals, and other everyday uses in addition to how to
include oils in your healthcare practice. Participants will have the opportunity
to sample over 100 essential oils. A FREE bottle of therapeutic essential oil is
included.

Improve and maintain your pet’s health naturally! This workshop will show pet
owners how they can play an active role in extending the life expectancy of
their pets through optimum nutrition and complementary wellness therapies. We
will present many natural options for pet owners with an emphasis on nutrition,
including how to do a raw food diet. Participants are invited to bring their pet food package labels for a
free analysis and to receive recommendations for necessary diet modifications.
Add Years to Your Pet’s Life will cover topics on how to:
Design an optimum nutrition program for your pets
Avoid the dangers of today’s pet fast-food diets
Properly read pet food package labels
Boost your pet’s immune system with holistic supplements
Since the 1950s, life expectancies of our pets have dramatically decreased
and our pets are now commonly suffering from the degenerative diseases of humans
such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and kidney disease. Due to
mainstream commercial brand pet food diets that have significantly decreased in
nutritional value and have become far removed from what Mother Nature intended
our pets to eat, pet owners are faced with new challenges in making sure their
pets are receiving the best nutrition possible. Optimum Choices teaches pet
nutrition from the perspective of what Mother Nature designed our pets to eat,
not what popular pet food manufacturers promote.

Choices at (303) 271-1649.
Are you unsuccessfully trying to change careers or make a mid-life
transition?
Have you started your own business but have not manifested your dreams
yet?
Get rid of all these blocks and be in the Universal flow by practicing the Tao
in business. A tennis player can be good with just a forehand. But a master
tennis player also has a good backhand. Those who aren't at least exposed to or
consider the Tao (or some other Eastern philosophy) are playing the game of life
without a backhand. It's like a football team that has a great passing game but
no running game. The football team can be good but never a champion. Join us in
becoming a master of life by learning how to use the Tao in your business,
professional and personal lives. Come learn with others how to use the Tao to
live in harmony with the Universe.
