Blending Science & Spirituality There are 8 oils in the Heart Scents blend so "white light" could be included as it equates to, "All Light combined". And 8 represents "the Infinite Universe and the Eternity of God's Light".

The "seven patterns of light" reflect the colors of a rainbow, the chords of music, seven days of the week, and the seven anointing's of God as "wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord."

These wheels of energy were first described in ancient Sanskrit writings knows as The Vedas, the Hindu Scriptures. It's not hard to see the connection to "Light Energy" (or Chakras).

Seven Energies also correspond to the glands of the Endocrine System: 1. Red=Adrenals and Survival; 2. Orange=Ovaries/Testes and Sexuality; 3. Yellow=Pancreas and Power; 4. Green=Thymus and Love; 5. Blue=Thyroid and Communication; 6. Indigo=Pineal (third eye) and Intuition; 7. Violet=Pituitary and Spirituality.

The number 7 appears 735 times in the Bible.

7 rays of light, 7 lamps of fire burning, 7 sacraments, 7 seals, 7 angels, 7 virtues, 7 deadly sins and the list goes on!

Prov. 20:27 says, "The human spirit is the love of the Lord that sheds light on one's inmost being."

Rev. 1:16 says, "He had in his right hand seven stars..."

"Light must come from inside.

You cannot ask the darkness to leave; you must turn the light on!"

Why Heart Scents Blend In December of 2016 the "Heart Scents Blend" was created by Star Moree for all essential oil lovers to enjoy! Perhaps by Divine Intervention, the Heart Scents blend turned into a year round gift for her team. When the Christmas Spirit™ bottle shrank from 15 ml to a 5 ml bottle, Star tapped into her heart, and her oils shelf and got creative!

Based on Christmas Spirit™ the ingredients not only hold the scent and tone of the season, each essential oil's color can be interpreted as a "rainbow" and "visible light energy".

Kari's knowledge of color theory, light energy, and the Chakra system played a part in us asking, "How does an oil blend become a book, and why is it useful knowledge?"

We really felt there was a strong inspiration at both moments, when the Heart Scents Blend was created and when it was written down.

It was obvious that each oil represented the light spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet!

Additional oils from the original recipe were added to this updated blend including a choice of Copaiba or Vanilla, symbolic of "white light", symbolic of the "indigo energy center" Northern Lights Black Spruce, Lavender for the "violet energy center", Cinnamon and Ocotea were combined due to similar properties and availability, Lime is now used in place of Grapefruit so we could include the "green energy center".

"Educating the mind without educating the heart, is no education at all."

the Intelligence of Smell The brain learns every scent, whether it is good or bad, safe or harmful. Our sense of smell is perhaps the most powerful connection to all environments - inside our bodies and outside in nature. Our nose is a direct antenna to a world of intelligence. Did you know that you actually smell with your brain, not your nose? Your brain is the ultimate computer, capable of creating and analyzing complex codes!

When any chemical compound is released into the air, it binds to the olfactory receptors triggering a complex path of information that tells the brain, "This smells like ______."

Even if you don't know the origin of a smell, your mind and body do. Even if your sense of smell is impaired, a process still takes place to create a response. Humans have 350 functional olfactory receptor genes with 10 million smell receptors and are able to distinguish 10 trillion scents!

When a molecule connects to a matching receptor, it sets in motion an elaborate dance of reactions. We respond to scent molecules when they lock into a receptor. This is an extraordinary process that ultimately influences our cells either positively or negatively. When a scent molecule reaches any contact point on our body, it is recognized by olfactory receptors in the nasal passages, lungs, and skin. Receptors immediately trigger either a protective mode or a repair sequence for our body's well-being.

The molecules of an essential oil are so small they float in the air and are also easily absorbed. The skin around a fresh wound reacts to these molecules and begins the process of repair from molecules floating toward it.

Our DNA (genetic code) is equipped with receptors for scent throughout the entire body. This organic relationship to the plant world connects us to God's perfect code.

A discovery of around 1,000 genes involved in generating scent receptors was awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine. (In 2004: Richard Axel and Linda B. Buck received the prize for their work on odorant receptors and the organization of the olfactory system. Ref: Buck, L. & Axel, R. (1991) Cell, vol. 65, 175-187.)

Page 5

the Brilliance of Our Senses Scent travels faster to the brain than sight, sound, or taste.

Our sense of smell is estimated to recognize 10,000 chemical compounds. When we inhale a fragrance, odor molecules stimulate nerve cells, sending electrical impulses to the olfactory bulb in the brain. Odors induce the brain to release hormones and neurochemicals that affect our physiology as well as our emotional behavior. Smells compel us to respond!

The limbic system of the brain (pineal, pituitary, hypothalamus, and amygdala) is the conductor of this orchestra of "scent-driven events". It controls heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance.

Essential oils can have profound effects on our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It is now proven that at a cellular level there is a heart/brain connection, so we know aromatherapy makes sense at the heart of our existence.

The path from our nose to the center of our brain is extraordinary! The fact that we are designed to respond to the world's various odors by way of tiny, powerful organs and glands located in the center of our brains, is nothing less than incredible.

Since every emotion is a combination of how we think (our brain) and how we feel (our heart), scent as a messenger deserves our attention and our academic and professional levels of respect!

Since everything is energy, everything can be measured. The vibrational frequencies of energy are studied in multiple disciplines of science. (Einstein:E=MC2)

The vibrational frequency of essential oils are the highest of any natural substance known to man.

62-70 MHz is a healthy human body (68-72 is a highly functioning brain!)

62MHz human cells can change when their frequency drops below this 58 MHz is the frequency of your body when you have a bad cold or the flu 55MHz when candida is present in your body (severe sugar overgrowth) 52 MHz is the frequency of a body with Epstein-Barr virus present 42 MHz is the frequency of a body wherein cancer can appear and grow When the death process begins, frequency has been measured at 20 MHz.

Aromatherapy Makes Scents The term "aromatherapy" is the science of smell and the art of stimulating the mind/body connection. It is used for cellular repair or for the release of emotional blocks, where a physical or mental trauma has occurred. A unique or familiar odor can trigger distinct memories from our childhood, or emotional moments that have left an impact on our hearts.

Odors can trigger both positive and negative emotions since aromas are associated with specific memories. Our memories can influence our confidence and self-esteem as well as block our ability to perform at our highest potential. It is a well established category for (some) medical professionals and psychologists to use the sense of smell to test how the brain is working (or not working) within normal parameters.

Pleasant smells stimulate positive feelings, which affect the entire body at a cellular level. Scents can be relaxing, uplifting, and stimulating. They can subtly inspire us to do more inner work and to slow down, as well as help us control how our bodies perform (physically), based on our emotions.

The amygdala is the only organ that holds and releases memories based on the sense of smell. That's why aromatherapy can be such a powerful method working with people who have stuffed their emotions, denied their traumas, or just can't remember when and where a block occurred that is keeping them from living a full and happy life! *Nobel Prize winners, Axel and Buck showed that 3% of our genes are used to "code" different odorant receptors on the membrane of the olfactory receptor cells. When an odorant receptor is activated, an electric signal is triggered on the olfactory receptor cell and sent to the brain.

When essential oils are applied to the skin, they are absorbed within minutes. Certain oils are known to "clear" receptor sites that open contact with our cells. Clearing the calcified cell membrane allows essential oils to do what they are meant to do. The entire process affects the reproduction of cells, so the influence of aroma is important and enduring.

Pure essential oils carry the highest and most viable concentration of beneficial chemicals found in herbs, flowers, leaves, seeds, roots, trees, and shrubs.

the History of Par'fume Par'fume, or perfume, dates back thousands of years. Perfume means "to smoke through". Many cultures adapted the practice of cleansing their homes, clothing, and bodies with scented smoke to drive off pestilence. The art of incense (and smudging) runs parallel to the development of perfume and the distillation of plant oils into essential oils, that were valuable trade commodities for centuries.

The origin of perfume as a liquid that could be bottled and stored is attributed to the ancient Egyptians. They used scents to celebrate, in prayers, to cover the scent of illness and death, and for other religious ceremonies. They burned essential oils, resins, herbs, and spices to ask for the protection of The Divine. Through trial and error, much was discovered about which plants worked best for different maladies. From frankincense in the Middle East to smudging sage in America, scented smokes had a purpose as well as an honored, sacred, and emotional experience.

The rich and powerful were able to enjoy the practice of bathing and scenting their bodies to cover the odors of sweat and other body odors that were not very attractive. Until the 1840's, indoor plumbing only existed in rich people's homes.

Commoners did not enjoy the luxury of indoor running water, soap, nor the expense of floral scented waters and perfumes.

Some of us can only imagine what highly, populated cities smelled like throughout history, where there were no systems in place to remove or compost daily body functions, deal quickly with rotten food, or the death and decay of a body. The habit of pulling a scarf up over our mouths and noses began centuries ago! Adding a little perfume or the natural protection of some essential oils is perhaps a good "Renaissance Story", or is it a smart modern habit?

The story of the Four Thieves dates back to the plague era (1300-1700).

Four notorious thieves stole jewelry and money from people who were sick or dying from an infectious disease. What made the thieves famous was that they managed to steal from victims without succumbing to the plague.

When they were finally caught by authorities, the thieves were condemned to death, but were given a choice...death by torture, or a rapid death if they shared their secret. That secret was a perfumed mixture named for The Four Thieves.

the Conception of Smell From the very beginning of conception, sperm cells contain odor receptors to locate the egg. A surface protein emits a chemical signal that guides sperm toward it. It is still unknown what the attractant compound is from the egg, but it is known that sperm cells "smell" the egg. This is the first indicator of how powerful the origin of scent truly is. Before we are even conceived, odors are key to our existence!

We can smell happiness and sexual arousal when we are with the right person. Likewise, we can smell fear, mistrust, or disgust in the field of the wrong person. Men can smell when women are ovulating and during menses. There is a gene code called Major Histocompatability Complex (MHC). If you mate with someone whose MHC is different, your offspring will have a heartier immune system.

The adage "opposites attract" can equate to strong offspring.

During pregnancy, a women's sense of smell is heightened to protect the fetus from dangerous foods and chemicals. Most pregnant women are naturally repulsed by alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, synthetic chemicals, and carcinogens. An altered sense of smell may also serve to enhance the desire to eat a nutrient-rich diet for the survival of the species.

Smell is absolutely essential for mammals to find their mother's teats (and nipples) to obtain milk. Without olfaction, we can't survive.

As adults, we observe and interpret our environment with the aid of our sense of smell. (Note: children develop a broader food pallet if their sense of smell is uninhibited) Unfortunately, toxins force our cells to create a barrier of protection.

This calcification process that shields cells from toxins (manmade chemicals, pollutants, cigarettes, and drugs), also diminishes the sensitivity and number of receptor sites. Cells lock down to protect us from synthetic chemicals and from a lack of oxygen. Our ability to reproduce can be jeopardized when the division of healthy cells is constantly compromised.

The pineal gland has the highest calcification rate of any tissue in the body. Doctors haven’t proven that a calcified pineal gland can cause medical problems, but there are current studies on the increase of diseases, related to brain function and our emotional health.

Page 9

the Depth of Our Perceptions The pineal gland is located in the center of our brain. It is like a sock hanging in the hypothalamus surrounded by brain matter and nerves. It is in the parietal lobe, protected by the plates of our skull. It is shaped like a little pine cone and called the "Master of Our Spirit, because it Sees the Light". (Also referred to as The Third Eye) The main function of the pineal gland is to receive information about light-dark cycles (circadian rhythms) of our environment. It balances our sleep cycle (melatonin) and hormones (our internal clock, aging, and sense of direction).

Any toxins (chemicals, heavy metals), stressors, and electromagnetic fields will affect your pineal gland. It can become "calcified", which compromises melatonin production and your health. (Lack of sleep creates mental decline.)

The parietal lobe gives us the sense of "me". It interprets the messages you receive from all five senses: sight, touch, smell, hearing, and taste. This part of the brain helps you distinguish what is part of my body, and what is part of the outside world.

As we perceive things visually first, we still rely on all the other senses to give us full knowledge of the world. When aromas trigger us to remember something (good or bad), we have a reaction. If parts of the brain have been injured (traumatized), we may not have normal reactions. We may not respond to aromas and scents the way nature intended. Without a sense of smell, information gets skewed and creates doubt in our minds.

Essential oils, derived from pure practices, can help us "remember who we are" and release toxins that accumulate in our environments that have masked or damaged our link to the natural world.

Quantum physics and metaphysics have found common ground. There is an infinite, yet undefined shared Source...some call "The God Particle".

Page 10

Cells and Organs Can Smell We are taught in school that the brain sends orders to the heart, but in reality, the heart sends more signals to the brain and has a significant effect on brain function. Our emotional processing and higher cognitive levels of thought, perception, problem solving, and memory are actually influenced by the rhythm of our hearts!

Joyful, positive, states of emotions increase cognitive brain function, clarity, performance, and emotional stability when the heart is stable. The brain's function is inhibited when stress or intense negative environments create an erratic, disordered rhythm in the heart. (This can even be detected during an ECG) Surrounding ourselves with positive people is so important so that we can recognize what a good influence is, vs a bad relationship.

This protects our heart and prolongs our lives.

Breathing patterns are also influenced by our emotional states. The heart responds by changing the rate of our breath. While exercise creates a healthy heart rate increase, fear, anxiety, shock, trauma, injury, grief, and negative emotions also increase our heart rate outside of our control. This can be damaging. Constant, unwarranted fluctuations are not healthy for long periods of time.

Severe and sudden changes will take a toll on the heart.

The "heart brain" contains over 40,000 neurons that independently process information, make decisions, learn, and record every active state, (and inactive as in meditation or prayer). The heart is the intuitor and functions for our well-being through our thoughts, feelings, insights, intentions, desires, and love. It registers every experienced emotion we have! Our hearts either become hardened by life's messages, or they expand through life's hope and promise.

The heart has a magnetic field that is 5 times stronger than the brain. It can be detected several feet away from the body. It is 60 times greater (ECG) in amplitude than brain waves (EEG). Brain rhythms synchronize to the higher power of the heart - not the other way around! The earth's magnetic resonance vibrates at the same frequency as our heart rhythms and brain waves.

Page 11

the Heart's Sense Six million olfactory receptor cells detect thousands of odors.

Research shows these receptors, and similar ones found on taste buds, crop up all over our bodies. In 2003, bitter taste receptors were found in sperm, and scent receptors were found in the kidneys! Biologists have identified sour receptors in the spine, sweet receptors in the bladder and gut, bitter receptors in the sinuses, airways, pancreas, and brain, and multiple scent receptors were discovered in muscle tissue. It appears that our "sense of smell" is not isolated to the center of the brain.

Genetic evidence suggests olfactory receptors exist in nearly every organ. The lungs, blood, kidneys, liver, colon, and heart all have receptors! From our most primitive beginnings, smells have warned us of danger, helped us find food, and have been vital to our survival.

As these findings became public, researchers poured over genomic data and found that (low levels of) these receptors occurred in almost every tissue in the body. Science has unearthed evidence that they are anything but passive. These findings suggest that our bodies are "smelling" and "tasting" things deep inside of us, and that these distinct "odorous abilities" are crucial to our health.

Scent cells are renewed every 28 days, so every four weeks, we get a "new" nose. This means we can influence the changes we might need to make for better health through a heightened and more diverse sense of smell. This might prompt us to diffuse pure essential oils in every room, starting with our newborn babies and ending with our last, golden breath.

Refs: Dr. Hanns Hatt; Ruhr University Bochum, Germany: OR2AT4: "More than fifteen of the olfactory receptors that exist in the nose are also found in human skin cells." Using a synthetic sandalwood (Sanalore) in their experiments, set off a cascade of molecular signals that appeared to induce healing in injured tissue merely from the odor.

Page 12 Page 7

A Sense of Identity Aroma is a big business! In an age where it is difficult to get noticed, competing for an audience or customers that have short attention spans, aromas can play a huge part in the success of our relationships and businesses.

Obviously, restaurants entice us to return to a place that filled our senses with great aromas and memorable tastes. Theaters may include subliminal "comfort branding" by adding floral scents, pine forest aromas, or the scent of sea water, during segments of a movie that coincide with the images you were watching.

The subliminal use of aromas can set off tears, fear, laughter, joy and romance (roses) that adds another layer to what makes us return to a particular place (or person). Aromas have "codes" that link to our ability to identify positive and negative experiences.

Learning how essential oils influence us can be the foundation of a "heart-centered business". A particular aroma could help launch you! It's not critical that you know all the compounds of a plant species and how it effects your emotions, but the more you do know the more you can leverage the applications of certain scents at an event, class, home party, personal celebration, or anywhere that might "brand you as that good smelling person that left a positive impression behind".

If you "identify with a certain scent" in a single or blended essential oil, continue to use it. Diffuse it and share the story that brought it to your attention. Use your personal story and current passion to expand naturally, by choosing and wearing an essential oil that you resonate with. Some of Young Living's blends are named perfectly to inspire a theme, like Highest Potential!

Every organ has a vibrational frequency that can be measured and interpreted by biofeedback systems.

Biofeedback has shown a 98% validation rate when compared to medical tests of similar systems that cause someone to seek medical help. (We are vibrational beings!)

Our Red Energy Center The color Red: Increases enthusiasm and passion, carries a frequency that attracts wealth and abundance, if grounded and confident.

Red encourages action and increases confidence, providing a sense of protection from fear and anxiety. It can send a message that you are sexy, fast, high energy, dynamic, ("you're hot"), or even dangerous, and require others to proceed with caution around a red personality.

Red implies beauty and luck in many cultures. The Chinese associate red with fire, south, and summer. In Japan it is a traditional color of deities: Shinto and Buddhism. In Sweden it was reserved for the privileged class. In South America it represents happiness and celebration. Red symbolizes blood and fire and commemorates the martyred saints of Christianity.

It is the highest arc of the rainbow and is visible on the light spectrum as the longest wave. It can also symbolize a negative direction (in the red) or out of balance.

Bees cannot detect the color red. Red flowers are pollinated by birds, butterflies, bats, and the wind.

Red symbolizes a code for emergencies or severity and as a warning to pay attention fast. It triggers the "fight or flight" mechanism.

the Influence of Red Chakra Energy: The root chakra is earth, that which "grounds us".

It is the origin of "safety" in the world.

It is the base of the spine, the skeletal system, legs, feet, and sexual connection.

It represents survival and male energy.

Page 15

Cinnamon -or- Ocotea Cinnamomum zeylanicum & Ocotea quixos Cinnamon is known for its “warming” sensations.

It stimulates energy and can increase blood pressure, respiration, and pulse rate. In the form of an essential oil, it is highly concentrated and considered “hot” and will irritate your nose and skin.

Areas of influence include circulation, blood sugar, digestion, oral health, and the respiratory system.

Diffusing cinnamon or ocotea along with citrus can set the tone of fall harvest and holiday celebrations. *Ocotea is known as “false cinnamon”, and has similar properties and applications as its cousin. Ocotea actually reduces the body’s response to irritation. It complements a healthy cardiovascular system and healthy blood flow and aids in maintaining blood sugar balance along with a healthy diet. It also triggers “satiety” and a feeling of fullness to help control excessive cravings. It is known for its natural cleansing attributes in the digestive system, reducing yeast overgrowth and parasitic cycles.

Ocotea’s brown tones and golden flowers (Ishpingo) symbolize stability, reliability, and approachability.

It is the color of earth and represents our natural, organic origins.

Our Orange Energy Center Orange is the combination of red and yellow light. It is "earth's fire and heaven's sunshine" that blend into grace and power. It is gentler and more restrained than red. It increases a sense of confidence and represents fun and lightheartedness. Orange encourages socialization and stimulates activity as well as appetite, due to its uplifting influences.

Orange is the color of miracles and healing! It influences our listening skills, self-empowerment, and our ability to see other perspectives that hold the power for us to change, when necessary. Understanding and counsel flow easily between our hearts and our brains with orange tones.

American Indians associate the color orange with family and kinship. In China and Japan, it symbolizes happiness and love. In Christianity in represents gluttony. In folklore it is praised for inspiring generosity and gratitude.

It can represent flamboyance, warmth, stimulation, determination, and success. When chosen for uniformsit is a symbol of unified habits or skills, safety, and control. Its brightness is significant enough to become a warming color. It is used for safety in construction and public areas when and where large amounts of people are required to pay attention.

the Influence of Orange Chakra Energy: The sacral chakra (or navel) is linked to our sexual organs, creation, and the reproductive system.

It governs water and major organs like kidneys, bladder, spleen, and adrenals.

Page 17

Orange Essential Oil Citrus sinensis Orange essential oil is derived from the rinds. The bark, the branches, and flowers are also processed for their distinct uses.

Green, unripe, oranges are distilled to create petitgrain, and the flowers of orange trees are distilled for neroli essential oil.

Known for its uplifting fragrance and its ability to transport our senses to a sunny, tropical, warm place, orange oil is very popular and used often to create a positive environment.

Orange oil aids in digestion by both stimulating the appetite, and reducing stress which causes acidity in the body. Orange as a fruit, and as an essential oil supports the immune system. It is available all year round and considered a foundational food for breakfast worldwide.

Orange essential oil can also be used in food preparation to enhance any citrus-based recipe.

Diffusing orange or even simmering orange slices, clove, and cinnamon on the stove can shift your mood as well as anyone who comes into your house, shop, or office! Master marketers use aromas to attract people and evoke a pleasant thought or memory in order to stimulate sales.

(This resulted in a 20% sales increase for real estate!)

Our Yellow Energy Center Yellow's brightness shines with optimism, happiness, and enlightenment. Yellow will outshine other colors, instill energy, and spark creative thoughts around the room. It represents a positive future.

Yellow encourages communication, but can be exaggerated and sensationalized to attract more attention in advertising, marketing, and industries selling a "sense of appeal". Lemon naturally promotes energy and an invigorating vibrational field that brings balance to the senses and the environment.

In Chinese culture it represents the five primary elements, the directions, and the four seasons. In Aztec culture it symbolized abundance as the color of corn.

Yellow signifies sadness in Greece and jealousy in France.

It is the symbol of liberalism in many countries. It may represent greed, corruption, or degradation from the pure white light in Christianity.

It is nature's most abundant color in flowers. Bees are first attracted to yellow when searching for a source of nectar that becomes honey (also know as the nectar of the gods).

Yellow dominates photosynthesis and is recognized as edible and nourishing. Even autumn's display of changing colors brings joy to the heart as summer comes to an end.

the Influence of Yellow Chakra Energy: The solar plexus chakra is associated with "the center" and earth's sun. It is a fire color to empower people to find their personal strength and support their confidence and free will. A strong center helps turn dreams and goals into reality.

Page 19

Lemon Essential Oil Citrus limon Lemons are native to Italy and California. The essential oils are extracted from the rinds through a cold-press method.

It takes 3,000 lemons to make a kilo (2.2 lbs) of oil.

As with all citrus-based essential oils, it is a critical player in the digestive system, liver, large intestines, skin, muscular system, and circulation. It aromatically influences the brain, activates memory channels, improves mental processes, and stimulates the entire nervous system.

Lemon helps reduce stress and thus improves our concentration. It has both a warming and cooling influence on our emotions and physically helps us adapt to hot outdoor temperatures. (Too hot? Get lemon-aid!)

It has a smooth tonic effect and purifies the air and water, so it is widely used for detoxifying both household and body impurities.

Lemon is also used industrially to mask the noxious and poisonous odors of chemicals in millions of man-made products developed for cleaning, laundry, and also personal care items. This scent is also easily recreated in a laboratory to save money and mimic the true scent of lemons (as well as just about anything nature offers, but with serious and complicated side affects).

Our Green Energy Center Green is the center of our world, our hearts, and the space in which "natural harmony" exists. It is the most common color in nature. Most plants, flowers, shrubs, vegetables, and trees that cover the earth are green! This is why green is the symbol of nature, growth, abundance, renewal and life!

We associate money, ambition, prosperity and greed with the color green. Jealousy toward other's success can create "green with envy" in our emotional centers. Green ink was used to print money to keep people from photographing the original black and white currency. It was too easy to make counterfeit money, thus "greenbacks" were secured for prosperity.

Green can be seen as unlucky, depending on one's cultural history and superstitions. A Swedish chemist in the early 1700's created a green dye for wallpaper and fabric after experimenting with arsenic. When these products became damp, they emitted a toxic gas that made people sick and some even died from it.

"Green around the gills" is a true expression of how we look and feel (as we expel toxins) or when suffering from an illness.

Green can also symbolize luck, due to the Irish celebration of St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick roamed the country using a shamrock (3 leaf clover) to explain the Holy Trinity to pagans.

The three leaves represented the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Finding a four leaf clover was considered very lucky!

Lime Essential Oil Citrus aurantifolia All lime varieties have origins in the tropical climates.

Limes were one of the earliest traded fruits through migration and ocean trade. Limes are sour and used to accent foods and beverages, rather than be eaten alone.

They are a rich source of vitamin C. Limes have a higher sugar content and acidity than lemons. They also emit a light, floral aroma so they are valued in cooking for their juice, zest, and fragrance.

They are a good source of magnesium and potassium.

Limes were used to prevent nutrient deficiencies for prolonged ocean travel and exploration. Their properties were held secret by early military forces to help men remain healthy while at sea for long periods of time. Fresh fruit lifts emotions and the isolation of war.

Similar to other citrus fruits, lime offers high levels of vitamins and minerals including potassium. Potassium is important for maintaining nerve function and healthy blood pressure levels. The fruit is also linked to higher antioxidants and bioflavonoids that researchers believe protect healthy cells. Limes can help rejuvenate skin, improve digestion, circulation, and support balanced blood sugar levels.

Endocrine relationship=thymus/Love Citrus fragrances are known to boost immunity!

The uplifting scent influences our ability to relax and the citrus molecules carry the positive stimulation of the sun to our cells, whether they are ingested or aromatically diffused.

Our Blue Energy Center Blue is the most popular color, appealing equally to both men and women. It is the color of the sky and the ocean - huge bodies of constants in life (air and water). Blue creates a tone that represents being trustworthy, dependable, consistent, and committed as in, "true blue".

Blue is cooling, calming, and thought provoking. Differing blue hues hold meanings of wisdom, self-mastery, inward and outward communication, intuition, and the journey to discover meaning in our lives. It is also used to described "the blues" and seasonal sadness... longing for the sun during the long, gray days of winter.

In China, blue is associated with wood, the east, and spring.

India's god Krishna is depicted with blue skin. In Mexico it is used during the mourning period as a symbol of grief. In Aztec culture it symbolizes sacrifice. Blue symbolizes heaven and truth in Christianity.

Most hospitals and clinical settings use blue to represent cleanliness and purity. Blue Ribbons are a symbol of achievement and first-place status of the highest quality.

"Once in a blue moon" is a rare and for some, a spiritual practice of honor. It is considered a sacred event when two full moons appear in the same month. In the summer, mosquitoes are attracted to blue more than any other color.

the Influence of Blue Chakra Energy: The throat chakra dictates our self-expression and verbal communication. It influences the neck, hands, and arms (which are also expressive). It also governs the thyroid, throat, ears, mouth, and shoulders.

Idaho Blue Spruce Picea pungens Trees are harvested, chipped, and distilled during the coldest months of winter. With average outdoor temps near or below zero, many people deserve our support and our respect for the supply of this pure essential oil.

Essential oils derived from conifer trees are known for their structural support for the spine and nervous system. Their tall, straight lines indicate good posture and strength that can transfer to our mind, body, and spirit! Spruce, fir, and pine oils all have immune-supporting properties as well as skeletal and muscular links to nature's challenges in our lives.

Spruce trees can survive extreme hot and cold. They create a sanctuary of protection at night and tap into a force from earth to rise up in the morning. They can be energizing while reducing stress, sadness, and soreness, helping us stand up straight and pursue our dreams. Conifer oils are also known for stimulating the pituitary, pineal, thymus, and adrenal glands.

Idaho blue spruce and black spruce tap resources deep into the earth and high up in the sky. The forests are connected to source energy in such extreme ways, it is not surprising that these vibrational frequencies measure over 500 MHz. (D. Gary Young, Bruce Tainio research and David R. Hawkins, PhD, Power vs Force.)

Indigo Energy Center Indigo is connected to all our senses. Seeing, hearing, touching, smelling and "feeling" are connected to our intuition and a deeper understanding of "who we are and how we see the world". It is the color of wisdom.

It can also represent the energy of deep change and transformation when we are in need of seeing greater possibilities for ourselves and others. The deep blue color leads us to a wider perception to see things differently as the sun sets and the stars appear in the night sky.

The "midnight blue" color conveys integrity and sincerity in many cultures throughout the world. This dark blue color follows the lighter tones of the visible light spectrum and bridges the energy that flows toward violet, perhaps bringing us closer to our relationship with God. Indigo has Biblical meanings of power, importance, and wealth, but with a balanced portion of "grace". This blend of blue and purple symbolizes our individual creativity, but with a mature devotion to fairness, integrity, sense of justice, and dignity.

Wearing this color can mistakenly be seen as looking for attention, but is actually most suitable for a very reserved, confident personality type that is both open to the great mysteries and the many unknown aspects of life.

the Influence of Indigo Chakra Energy: The third eye or "brow" chakra governs the individual spirit that co-creates with God. It guides the soul in its human form to stay conscious of the ever-unfolding universe and eternal oneness of "I am".

Northern lights Black Spruce Picea mariana Distilled from the trees of black spruce in northwest Canada and Alaska. British Columbia is known for its picturesque mountains and pine forest beauty, as well as the nights blessed with the aurora borealis. Black spruce forests are thought to have some of the deepest roots and tallest trees that symbolically radiate our ability to stay rooted –while reaching for the stars!

This evergreen tree has a slightly sweeter aroma than blue spruce (Colorado to Idaho). Coniferous forests are deeply rooted and connected in a community that is far-reaching and everlasting. Although there are complex differences in their chemical makeup, spruce (pine and fir) share some similar traits.

Spruce oils are often used for purifying the air and supporting the respiratory system. Think about how you automatically take a deep breath when you reach the edge of a conifer forest or stand in a circle of pines.

Monoterpenes in their chemical makeup are powerful antioxidants, which support our immune system. Limonene constituents are proven to reduce feelings of stress and tension.

Picture yourself in that forest again! After that deep breath, did you smile and did your shoulders relax, releasing tension in your neck and spine? Did your posture and outlook improve?

Violet Energy Center Violet has the highest vibration in the visible light spectrum (380-450 nm). This lends it to represent the future, our dreams and a connection to God, as a Universal connection to life and to afterlife–representing that there truly is “no darkness”.

Purple is associated with our spirituality, the sacred, our higher-self and personal meaning as we seek to fulfill our life’s purpose. It is the color of "infinity" or "eternity” as we align to a higher power in prayer and meditation. Most cultures use purple to represent a higher authority, king, queen, leader, or highly evolved being.

It is still considered symbolic of royalty, kingship, priesthood, and divinity after thousands of years. From flowers to precious stones, it holds a sense of majesty and holiness.

Violet is as calming, as it is wise. We are calmer when we are given knowledge that opens our hearts and minds to our own potential, and infinite energy from a greater source.

Amethyst is plentiful compared to many gemstones, but high quality amethyst is not cheap. Until the 18th century it was equally as coveted as diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and emeralds for its symbolic resonance and color.

There are different views on the crown chakra. The crown chakra has been described as deep purple, white, and sometimes gold. It is our link to God.

Influence of the Violet Chakra Energy: The Violet Chakra is known as the Crown Chakra.

It is recognized as the spiritual connection to God, understanding, knowing, joy, bliss, and oneness.

It is the top of the visual light spectrum.

Lavender Essential Oil Lavandula angustifolia Lavender, as a color has always represented purity, serenity, grace, and devotion to the sacred. Its purple/violet tones symbolize royalty, elegance, refinement, and luxury.

As an essential oil it has a reputation as the “universal oil”.

It's used in herbalism, because it supports so many aspects of wellness and healing. The three primary uses that elevated its popularity are for reducing stress, inducing sleep, and its many applications in skin care.

Lavender supports the nervous system and any system that might create stress in the body that needs calming. Cramped tense muscles, sinus or respiratory issues, skin issues, and even digestive problems that are related to stress can shift with a bit of lavender. The reason that perfumes affect us, is based on the art and science of aromatherapy where lavender is a lead player.

The aroma of lavender, whether in a bouquet or a field of flowers, is appealing to our sense of smell and can trigger an uplifting sense of well being. The very sight of a lavender field brings a sense of joy and hope that “all will be well”.

The purple color is associated with the “crown chakra” because of its connection to spirituality and higher purpose. The flower has held this symbolism due to its healing power known around the world.

White Energy Center White is the combination of all light in the visible spectrum.

All wavelengths of light (all the colors of the rainbow) create white light. It symbolizes “oneness in the universe". In that sense, it illuminates our connection to God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit. It is the color of ascension, enlightenment, and awakening.

White is considered pure, innocent, divine and of higher consciousness. It may represent cleanliness, freshness and simplicity, or a new beginning. In most cultures it is a sign of wholeness and completion, depicting a oneness with or readiness to return to God. Angels are always seen as white. Light beings with a magnificent glow that illuminates outward to offer help and healing. The “light of God” is said to be blinding in its intensity and love. The “Crown Chakra” is described as either a violet or a white light.

Some forms of our physical existence are described as “our aura”. Angels, saints, and prophets are depicted with a halo of white light around or over their heads.

White stands for everything good and right, the opposite of black and the darkness of the unknown, which may be bad and destructive. White is “perfection” and is something to strive for in our perception of right and wrong, good and bad, light or dark.

the Influence of White Chakra Energy: Eight inches above the crown chakra is "white light". Beyond our physical body, we have never been sealed off from our creator! This is the path to our existence, our connection to the Source and also, the way home.

8" above our heads=Universal Conscience

Vanilla or Copaiba There is no pure vanilla essential oil. It is either an oleoresin, absolute or CO2 extract. Vanilla extract is very different than what is sourced for Aromatherapy. They should not be used in the same way. In order to produce a lasting fragrance, vanilla requires a unique extraction method to create oleoresin for the wellness industry.

Vanilla is an orchid that originally came from Mexico (Totonac Indians). The beans are now a valuable commodity for the economic security of Madagascar where 80% of the world’s vanilla comes from.

The scent of vanilla evokes pleasant memories. It has been traded for thousands of years and is well known ingredient in cooking and the perfume industry. It has a natural, calming, effect on the brain, which helps reduce stressful emotions like anger and frustration.

Copaiba is harvested as a resin from 50-100 foot trees.

It has significant social and economic implications for South America, (especially Brazil), that handles 95% of its trade.

(Copal is a popular OTC product in Brazil.)

The oleoresin ranges from dark gold to transparent in color. It is high in sesquiterpenes (and B-Caryophyllene) known for high performance in the wellness and skin care industry. Copaiba (copal) reduces inflammation, while remaining gentle and safe even for babies and the elderly.

Everything is Energy!

We are fortunate to live in an age that finally bridged a "quantumphysical and a meta-physical" truth. "Humans are vibrations of light and sound". Our energy can be measured from our brain waves to our heart rhythms. From the flow of blood to the temperature and heat of our bodies. It's all interwoven with all life forms and the planet.

The heart and brain work together to stay in tune with the earth's magnetic forces. There is a vibrational frequency for the creation of everything at a molecular, atomic, and cellular level. Light, sound, and scent, from a quantum understanding has scientifically revealed...everything is energy!

We have tools to measure our blood count, pulse, weight, vitamins, minerals, chemicals, and colors. Our endocrine system is the medical term for the biological order of light. We are rainbows of light from our heads to our toes. From our root chakra to our crown. There are seven glandular connections in our bodies and seven colors, (or spinning wheels of energy), that influence our physical, mental, spiritual, and vibrational health. Good vibrational balance means "all the lights are on"!

Thousands of people are clearing old interpretations of both science and religion that have shut down our hearts, and created fear and resistance in our minds about our spiritual nature and the subtle energy centers that govern our lives. Both rigorous scientific views and historical religious views on, "who we are", are ending old strongholds, dogma, or any agendas that forbade us to question our own power.

Conventional medicine finally agreed and concluded that there is a mind/body connection to our health, our emotions, and our "vital energy". We are "beings made of magnetic and electrical energy".

We are "Beings of Light and Love"!

The spinning wheels of energy (7 Chakras = Sun) have been known and taught for thousands of years. When all seven colors of the electromagnetic spectrum of visible light are combined . . . they create "White Light".

White light is symbolic of ascension and the ultimate state of purity. Angels are depicted as glowing, white entities, taking the form of human characteristics. Perhaps to show us our own potential for divine love and service to one another.

Page 31

Energy is Everything!

Albert Einstein said it best when he said, “Everything is energy.” Four out of our five senses—sight, sound, touch, and taste receive sensory data from the environment, which is transferred through the nervous system to the brain. In a brain scan, feedback can be interpreted based on our mental schemas or mental filters (beliefs). Even the vibrational frequency of good health will effect incoming data interpretation! And low energy amplifies multiple systems firing at once (trying to reconnect and re-harmonize).

All smells, like all sounds, have their own signature frequency. If they didn’t have their own vibration we wouldn’t be able to tell one odor from another.

Plants and animals would not be able to distinguish their differences either.

Humans would be boring, life could not exist.

(Repeat: E=MC2) This complex subject of vibrational frequencies is studied in many areas of science: quantum physics, physics, molecular science, biology, chemistry, engineering, astronomy, cosmology, medicine, pharmacy, psychiatry/psychology, etc.

Vibrational Medicine is a legitimate thing and applied in clinics and hospitals. Many devices are currently thought of as Complimentary Alternative Medicine (CAM), but consider every medical device or test used to locate an imbalance that is causing pain or illness, the images or sounds are based on a vibrational device in order to chart the feedback for a diagnosis! [A number of electrical devices are available for rapid diagnosis of the body's state of health and treatment of imbalances. Many holistic health practitioners are beginning to utilize these devices to understand how they function on an electrical level and what they actually measure in the human body. Gerber: Vibrational Medicine] Allopathic medical practices are finally embracing "subtle energy" academic studies, tools, and methods like acupuncture, biofeedback, light therapy, sound and aromatherapy to name but a few!

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transferred or changed. Change negative energy to positive energy and transfer positive energy to everyone you come in contact with! - Ervin Welsh Energy is contagious. Energy attracts or repels.

Either you affect people, infect people, or stay neutral.

the Importance of Smell Odors are distinctly linked to memory and emotions. The implications of smell receptors in our cells and organs that are responding throughout the body, would indicate how important it is to have a keen sense of smell throughout our lives. Although the loss of smell is not as well studied as the loss of other senses, researchers know that the consequences can be severe.

One effect is that it leaves people vulnerable to dangers such as food poisoning and fire. People with anosmia (no sense of smell) are less able to detect spoiled foods, toxic chemicals, gas, and smoke. A 2014 study found that people with anosmia were more than twice as likely to experience a hazardous event that can actually be life threatening.

Viruses can attach to cells in your nose. In the process, it can damage these cells, leading to a loss of smell. When these support cells regenerate, (on average four to six weeks later), your sense of smell will return. Rarely, is it lost forever due to a virus so that is good news.

Most people don’t realize the importance of smell until they lose it.

Being unable to appreciate the flavor of food is obviously a loss, but other sensations are important, too. Imagine the loss a parent would feel if they couldn’t connect to their child through the "newborn baby smell". Smell dysfunction has been linked to depression and selfisolation.

The ability to smell pheromones help us (subconsciously) recognize a potential compatible mate for reproduction. You can be attracted to someone's pheromones, because it triggers receptors that have some level of connection to a similar chemical makeup in you. Staying next to that person for more than a few minutes can even make you feel intoxicated. (Is it love at first sight, or is it activated pheromones from across the room?)

Page 33

Maintaining Your "Scentses" Like many other physical changes, as we age our sense of smell alerts us to the first signs of deterioration in our twenties. But even eighty year old people can have a keen sense of smell if they are in good health.

The loss of our sense of smell can also be a predictor of approaching death and that the body is entering into a state of disrepair, and is not regenerating stem cells or "smell cells". It may also be calcifying cell receptors from a constant and increasing exposure to a toxic world. This calcification is showing up at earlier stages in life at a rapid pace and may be linked to allergies and autoimmune disease.

A zinc deficiency is also linked to the loss of smell. This is influenced by industrial farm practices that have depleted natural minerals from the soil. Taking acid-reducing medications, getting vaccines, (with mercury and aluminum additives), eating foods that are low in zinc, or having a poor diet that's creating impaired absorption and assimilation of nutrients, will affect our sense of smell and the pathways to the limbic system of the brain. This affects satiety, hunger, appetite, and pleasure.

Tips to improve your sense of smell include whole-food organic diets, and exercise. Become scent conscious! Cook with essential oils. Practice recognizing and introducing different scents to your nose, your brain, blood, lungs, organs, and especially your heart!

One of the best essential oils to stimulate your sense of smell is peppermint. Grapefruit and other citrus oils improve your appetite.

Eucalyptus, spearmint, wintergreen, and conifer trees like pine, spruce, fir, and cedarwood, also have chemical constituents with high tones that are helpful in stimulating olfactory receptors to influence the sinuses, lungs, and respiratory system.

Page 34

Basic Methods for Using Essential Oils 1. Diffusion and Inhalation Diffusion forces the oils into a larger space and accomplishes more cleansing of the surrounding area than just personal inhalation. Diffusion actually works by dispersing the oil molecules. The force of air from a device specifically made for diffusing allows the finest particles to travel across a room.

Inhaling the oils directly from an open bottle or in the palms of your hands can quickly calm or elevate the senses. However, this won't affect a room that may harbor undesirable odors and invaders. Inhaling is the intimate action to quickly reach the limbic system of your brain.

2. Topical Application Placing a few drops of an essential oil in your hands or directly on the skin, (diluted or undiluted), allows the oils to penetrate the dermis within minutes to reach the cellular level.

The feet are a safe first site for application! They have the largest pores in the body. They are connected to every system in the body. Feet come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. They are fun to play with!

It is advisable to dilute essential oils to extend coverage, prevent skin irritation, and limit evaporation. Use a well-balanced massage oil, vegetable oil, (such as almond or jojoba), or unscented lotion. Every oil is unique and every body is, too! Be willing to experiment, but follow safety precautions. Address any negative reactions by also analyzing your diet or exposure to toxins. Learn to analyze what causes an effect!

Page 35

Basic Methods for Using Essential Oils 3. Internal and Dietary Use Making the choice to use essential oils internally requires some education. Primarily, you must have a trusted source! Not all essential oils are safe for ingestion. This is similar to the dietary use of herbal medicines, supplements, homeopathy, tinctures, Bach Flower Remedies, etc.

Obviously any essential oil that is also an edible fruit or herb is safe, but you still need to know it's origin and understand the concentrated value of even a single drop of essential oil! (Example: one drop of peppermint oil is equal to 26 cups of tea. One drop of basil will ruin your spaghetti!)

Internal use to support our physical body, is usually in the same category of support that an external use of an essential oil would be chosen for. (Grapefruit balances the appetite. Peppermint reduces heat in the body.)

It is really important to educate yourself and learn about safe habits, contraindications, sensitivities (allergies), age, weight, and baseline health of any individual before adding essential oils as supplements to a wellness program.

Please review cautionary viewpoints for internal use.

Due to the unregulated guidelines for essential oils in the food industry (GRAS= generally regarded as safe), there are "essential oils" crossing over from the perfume industry that are not safe for internal use. Food-grade essential oils may be used in cooking, but they should not be confused with essential oils that benefit our health through natural, biological, links that are in harmony with our bodies.

Being sensitive is okay for your heart, but not your skin!

Page 36

Reflexology and Finger Roll Method Reflexology is the practice of touching specific points on the feet that relate to every organ and system in the human body. (Charts pages 39-40) The pores of our feet are the largest on the body and easily absorb the molecules of plant-based essential oils. They can be massaged into the relative points using finger pressure or fingerrolling over a larger area of the feet or hands.

Applying essential oils to the spine will also have connecting associations to our organs and nervous system. Not only can essential oils help us relax, but being touched and massaged reduces stress and tension. The spine is very receptive to relaxing under the gentle application of massage.

Adding oils that categorically help us relax, enhances the session.

Fingertip Rolling is a method of rolling the fingertips in a consecutive motion, with a very light touch that triggers the electrical impulses of the meridians and the nervous system. Apply a drop of oil, keep fingers together, touch recipient with pad of the finger, rolling up and over until you have contact with knuckle. (Formerly known as Vitaflex.)

Raindrop Technique is a method of incorporating reflexology, fingertip rolling over meridians, and pressure points. Starting with the feet, it is specific to the relaxation of the spine and surrounding muscles. The essential oils used in raindrop are also specific in their chosen order and complex chemical constituents.

Page 37

Massaging our Emotional Hearts The knowledge of "smell receptors" in our cells, (and therefore our organs), makes massage, reflexology, acupressure, raindrop technique or any touch therapy, even more exciting. A good practitioner will start with a drop of essential oil held close to your nose to begin the process of connecting to your sense of smell, to your heart, nature, and therefore, peace and harmony.

Using a map of the feet, hands, ears, and spine, along with essential oils means we are stimulating the connections of an odor to an organ through another pathway. The complexity of any odor carries hundreds of constituents to the physical and emotional body, proving our sense of smell is powerful.

The addition of the 'correct' essential oils in any mind/body/spirit session can help release pent up stress and sometimes more deeply buried emotions from traumatic incidences. They work at a very subtle level, sometimes requiring very little effort from the practitioner to help relieve physical discomfort and support our emotional strengths.

Our hearts register the impact of all emotional events. Our hearts respond to little triggers that we may or may not realize make us weaker or stronger when we "feel a memory" that effected us in the past. Releasing buried trauma and reinstating strong healthy thought patterns, may be one of the best methods to bring balance to the mind, body, and spirit!

Common Sense for the Heart For a positive start, you should be aware of the basics of using therapeutic grade essential oils. Since they are highly concentrated, you need only a few drops.

They are not inherently harmful, but everyone has different skin types and sensitivities.

Your immune system and pH level will affect your response to the oils. It is important that you address your personal health habits, lifestyle, and current state of wellness. Consider your exposure to toxic chemicals, processed foods, alcohol, cigarettes, etc. (Highly toxic and acidic bodies are more challenging.)

Read the labels and check ingredients in every blend, and follow the directions for acceptable use. Wash your hands after handling oils.

Store in opaque bottles in a cool, dark place.

Keep away from children when you aren't directly present to apply them and teach about their use.

Skin test to know your personal reaction to "hot" oils. These are listed in a number of reference guides and include clove, cassia, cinnamon, lemongrass, wintergreen, etc.

What works for one person in a particular way may not work the same for someone else - but they do work!

Experience is your teacher!

Page 43

Common Sense for the Mind Essential oils can usually be used directly on the skin (neat) or in compresses with applied heat or cold.

Never use essential oils directly in the eyes or ears. Flush with vegetable oil, not water, if you do accidentally get them in a delicate place.

Work with a healthcare professional if pregnant, nursing, or recovering from serious injury or illness.

Essential oils can usually be used directly on your skin. Learn which essential oils are categorically approved for diffusing and inhaling, external or internal use, and bestknown applications.

Avoid direct exposure to UV rays for essential oils that react to the sun, some up to 48 hours. Citrus oils make you more sensitive to the sun's rays!

Avoid applying essential oils to sensitive areas. Avoid applying essential oils to sensitive areas such as eyes, ears, and mucous membranes. Always remember to use common sense.

Please refer to detailed materials on therapeutic-grade, pure essential oils to understand the conflicts caused by adulterated, synthetic oils - they are not natural to the body and may be harmful.

Start safe, then explore at your own pace.
