Self-Care

Little Oilers

Liz James · September 30, 2020 ·

Start ’em off right my friends! I absolutely love that Young Living now has a starter kit just for kiddos!
Do you know anyone who needs help with their kid’s sleeping, 😴emotions, focus, owies and all the things?

* And who can say no to Feather the owl diffuser? #cutest

Have you gotten the all new Little Oilers Collection Kit? Our littles NEED all the help they can get to be healthy and keep a low toxin load. (This is one way to eliminate many common toxins kiddos are often exposed to!). The prediluted bottle with the rollers make it safe to apply anytime!

Which oil will be your favorite ?
This kit will be a game changer in so many homes…. it could be in yours too😘.

Get the good stuff for your kiddos (and for yourself too!)

The Power to Heal Ourselves –
I’ve been praying for you! Our bodies are so incredibly amazing, aren’t they???…… especially when they have the right ingredients to create a recipe for healthy success!
I hear some of you tho…. it may seem so overwhelming to #doallthethings. It was for me too 🙋‍♀️when I first began realizing I had the personal power to heal on my own 20 years ago.

#Romewasntbuiltinaday
Remember a few key things:
1. Is your garbage pail full? Stop putting garbage in!!! (evidence of that is nearly all chronic diseases, skin disorders, emotional disorders, etc)….. you’ve GOT to quit adding toxins to your “household” (ie: body) if you truly want to kickstart the healing process.
2. Start taking the garbage out. This means you are working towards gently detoxing your body. There are many ways to do this, and each way does not serve an person in the same manner. ( 👉 See Step #8!)
3. Sleep. Absolutely crucial that you get 7-8 hours of sleep each night. If you have problems achieving that #…. message me.
4. Exercise. You CAN do this…. there is an exercise program for every single situation. No excuses.
5. Hydration…. by this I mean water. Clean, pure water and lots of it.
6. Mind work…. If you find “taking out the toxins” hard to think about, perhaps focus on the reason why. You are a person of value and worth.💗 Toxins create personal limitations and it is life limiting to allow them to dictate your life and limit your potential! #thisis100percenttrue Loving ourselves enough to treat ourselves with kindness and respect (not in a spirit of enablement) is a HUGE part of self healing both physically and emotionally.
7. Thorough labwork. This is an important piece that often gets overlooked.
8. Find a guide… a scout…. someone who has walked the walk and knows the path well. So much can be done inside the walls of our own homes and thru ZOOM if meeting in person is logistically hard. 💗
If the power of healing yourself is something you are ready to embrace, give yourself a high five and a virtual hug!
I am here and I am devoted to helping people learn how to do this successfully and would be honored to help you blaze your new trail! 😘 Let’s chat!

Thieves for the Season

Liz James · September 23, 2020 ·

I feel with near certainty that this coming cold and flu season will be a tumultuous one as a side effect from the mask wearing (NOT because of the ‘rona of 2020).
If you haven’t already, it’s time to assess what you have on hand and stock up on what you need so that you don’t have to run out in an emergency and buy something that further clogs up your body’s perfectly designed systems.

#wehavethetoolsavailabletous
Are you a DIY’er? If so, this post is for you! If you aren’t a DIY’er, you are still in luck…. as YL has a Thieves chest rub! (item # 23801)

Don’t wait til it’s too late. Young Living has stellar immune support products, and some of them often go out of stock when the going gets tough for the masses in the fall and winter. My advice?….. get what you need, (just as you would have bandaids on hand) and then buy a little extra.

Why are masks going to make the situation worse?
> they increase stress which suppresses the immune system.
> they decrease your oxygen intake and increase your recycled CO2 intake (also suppressing your immune system).
> there is an enormous amount of bacteria hanging out on the interior of that mask that is being worn daily.

Take a breather whenever you can. Change your masks out several times daily if you must wear a mask. Remember that if masks won’t keep smoke particles out (as the CDC has stated publically), they certainly won’t keep something smaller than smoke out either…… no amount of believing or wishing will alter that fact.

Power to Heal – part 4

Liz James · September 22, 2020 ·

PART IV : A Renewable Resource: You!
100 Trillion. OK, give or take a few… but that’s how many living cells we have in our body. Our body is designed to constantly replace bad and dying cells for good ones. Some cells are replaced quickly (blood), while others take much longer (bones).
The QUALITY of what is replaced is largely dependent upon the building materials 😉 (what do you eat and drink?), and toxins you are exposed to (Remember, those toxins could be both physical or emotional).
Do you remember the parable in the Bible about the man who built his house on the sand (an unstable foundation), and a storm 🌊came (stress) and the floods came (more stress) and the house fell away? A second man built his house on the rock (a solid foundation) and the storm and the flood came, but the house on the rock stood standing. (Matt 7:24-27)
Our bodies are very much like one of these houses. We choose which one thru our daily habits and lifestyle. Our body’s foundation is what we choose to feed it, and how we choose to take care of it. If we feed it garbage (processed foods, junk drinks, poor “mind chatter” etc) and if we don’t work to maintain our moving parts (motion is lotion!) and keep our toxin load low, our foundation will be poor indeed and will be prone to sag and ultimately fall in times of stress, wear and tear. 😢
Thankfully, God graced us with powerful healing mechanisms provided we participate responsibly in the “care and feeding” of us! Every 15 minutes, roughly 1.5 billion new cells are created within a human body…. Every 7 years, there’s a whole new you cell by cell. Are your cells constantly upgrading or downgrading? Well…… that depends! How are you caring for you?
We have the power to heal ourselves, but only if we ACTIVELY participate in the process!

(Home Depot’s got nothing on building materials for a strong foundation! 😉 )

What’s next?
Part V….. Taking out the garbage!

Power to Heal – part 3

Liz James · September 19, 2020 ·

Part III: The power of the mind!
Early in my pharmacy career👩‍⚕️, I filled a prescription written by an older doctor. I was a young pharmacist, and incredulous at what I was about to fill…… sugar pills. No, they weren’t pills for diabetes. These were flat out simple white pills made of pressed sugar and probably some other inert ingredients. My older co-worker pharmacist told me this particular patient had been getting them for years to help with her anxiety. Oh really? I thought…. This gal must be crazy. (again, the young naive pharmacist waving her newbie flag). Turns out, she wasn’t crazy, and the doctor was brilliant.
The “placebo effect” isn’t a new thing. In fact, it’s been around since Methuselah. The mind is a powerful tool…. More effective than we give it credit for. Hundreds (if not thousands!) of studies confirm that our body responds to what we believe and what we tell ourselves…. Regardless if it’s that quiet mind chatter or if we outright talk to ourselves out loud…. our beliefs and our words (spoken or not) shape emotional and sensory perceptions. We truly ARE what we think we are.
Western medicine acknowledges this as a fact, but rarely utilizes it as a way to jump start the healing process. Migraines, pain, arthritis, asthma, allergies, ADHD, high blood pressure, IBS, and depression are just a few dis-eases that have been shown to be responsive to the placebo effect.
Placebo’s aren’t just in pill form either. A 2014 study in Oxford University looked at 53 trials that compared surgical intervention to placebo. In 74% (39 out of 53) of the trials, there was improvement in the placebo surgery.
The placebo effect works in multiple ways. In addition to the psychological aspect of “we are what we think we are”, “believing” also plays an active role within certain neurotransmitter functions…. Including the dopamine, opioid, serotonin, and endocannabinoid (think CBD) systems. In essence, merely believing that you will feel better activates the body into helping you do just that.
Our bodies WANT to heal, and perhaps our minds have just not been taught how to participate!
So if a certain degree of healing can occur simply by teaching someone how to use their own tools available to them (the power of self “prescribed” positive vibes….ie: the physics and biology of frequency!!), why aren’t more western medicine doctors AND insurance companies educating their patients about this? Certainly proper eating habits, hydration, and exercise should be added to this list as well. #chalkituptoprofit
The sad truth is this….. because we are an “insta” country, positivity, slow food, and exercise don’t generally fall into the “insta” bucket of western medicine. Positivity is cultivated by close friendships and/or family with a healthy portion of gratitude and kindness, and dare I say it… a faith that produces peace that passes all understanding. It is a learned character trait that ANYONE can master should they desire to do so.
Western medicine should be our safety net, not a quick fix.
Mind over matter… matters.
👉What’s next? Part IV…. Body, how do you heal thyself? 👈
