Faith & Health Stewardship

Genesis 6:14 “So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.”

Isaiah 44:14 “He cut down cedars, or perhaps took a cypress or oak. He let it grow among the trees of the forest or planted a pine, and the rain made it grow.”

Cypress is one of those oils that might be easily overlooked. To me, it has an aroma similar (but milder) to our friend Frank. I appreciate it for a few reasons. Like all tree oils, it is very grounding (relaxing). Studies have proven that this oil is relaxing and calming!

It is also a really important oil to consider when you want to support healthy circulation. (Nobody benefits from stagnant, slow-moving blood … in fact, stagnant blood can get downright dangerous). You can pretty safely assume cypress is a key oil in supporting overall health knowing that it’s one of the 9 oils used in the Raindrop Technique.

Cypress has been around for eons…. probably since the beginning of time! Historically, the wood was used to build ships and houses of great strength and durability.

FUN FACTS:

The doors of St. Peter’s Cathedral are 1200 years old and are made out of cypress. They show no sign of aging .

The island of Cyprus was named for this tree (cypress).

Historically, cypress essential oil was used by the ancients to support healthy wound healing, and arthritis, support healthy lung function, scar tissue reduction, alleviate cramps, and relieve muscle soreness. Cypress was also used to help flush toxins out of the body.

This is an interesting study about aromatherapy massage’s immunological and psychological benefits. Fancy that…. cypress is one of the oils discussed . https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1142199/

When was the last time you had a Raindrop Technique done? If you’ve never had one…. would you like one? Would you like to learn how to give one?….. Why receiving (and giving!) one is so very important for overall health. I’d love to teach you, or help hook you up with someone who can in your neck of the woods! ….. drop a comment and let me know! If you’ve got an amazing Raindrop story to share, I’d love to hear it .

PS: if you’d like to learn more about Oils of Ancient Scripture (there are many mentioned in the Bible), let’s chat. God truly did give us all we need in the garden.

BBHB is up and running, and matches are being made. God knew we were going to need it.

We are all different and we all have different attitudes and views of February 14th based upon our individual life history. Somehow, the act of love got commercialized a looooong time ago and was pinned to the 14th of February ….. I mean, shouldn’t we be celebrating our ability and desire to love one another every day in some form or another?

“…. but the greatest of these is love” ( I Cor 13:13 )

Find your people and let them know somehow/ some way that they matter. That they are loved. That they are important to you. You just never know whose life you will alter by doing so. Every day.

Love is one of the highest-frequency emotions we can have, and WHO doesn’t want high-frequency embodiment? ( Vibrational frequency isn’t woo woo… it’s science. Modern medicine uses vibrational frequencies as diagnostic tools such as EEG’s and EKG’s.) A high vibrational frequency is key to being healthy, and it just feels darn good .

Find your best way to love one another. Pair that care with high-frequency oils such as Idaho Blue Spruce, Rose, Helichrysum, Sandalwood, Frankincense, and Lavender. There are more…. lots more! Every essential oil (which has been treated properly during harvesting and distillation) has the power to lift our body’s frequency, especially when paired with positive emotions. See how easy that is?

There’s enough love (and different types of love) for everyone…. every single day of the year:

Eros (passionate love)

Philia (friendship love)

Storge (familial love)

Agape (a love like God loves…. part of one’s character and a love that is undeserved, gracious, and sacrificial)

Ludus (playful uncommitted, undemanding, and uncomplicated type of love)

Pragma (practical love)

Philautia (self-love…. having self-worth)

Every one of us is worthy of giving and receiving love.

I love you! ~ liz

1 out of 10 patients will likely develop gout

1 out of 30 may have tendon rupture or injury

1 out of 100 will likely develop gallstones

(for someone with crazy good math skills, I’d love to know the overall benefits versus risk ratio on this pharmaceutical story problem! …. might even want to send you a thank you gift because my curiosity is THAT piqued! )

…….. would you take it?

 

If this condition could instead be managed with intentional lifestyle changes (and you were made aware of that) which included decreasing BMI and lowering chronic inflammation in the body, would doing so be worth it?

Dr. Konstantin Korotkov (physicist) has been studying the effects that a body’s energy field has on an individual’s health for many years.

Illness and emotions such as love and anger affect this energy field we each have.

 

Cliffnotes version:

Love, joy, and positivity have a positive influence on a body’s electrical circuitry. Likewise, anger, frustration and negativity do just what you might imagine….. they can literally make you sick.

Our attitudes (positive or negative) affect our outcomes, and they also affect the wellbeing of others. In farmgirl lingo, a bad apple can spoil the whole bushel. Don’t allow someone’s bad vibes affect your own. (For the record…. vibes = energy. Energy by very definition is motion of “us” at a molecular level ).

Bonus bits: Sounds affect our body’s energy either positively or negatively. So do smells….. just one of the reasons Young Living essential oils are so effective in doing what they do.

Genesis 1 says that the Spirit of God hovered (energy) over the waters and He spoke (energy) everything into existence. Can you imagine the pure love that was poured into the creation of the heavens and the earth? What that must have felt like to the earth’s inhabitants? I can’t even imagine what that vibrational frequency felt like. What a blissful existence!

 

Don’t underestimate the power of your own body’s frequency to harm or heal yourself or others. It’s our secret superpower! Don’t let it go to waste .
