THE ESSENTIAL EDGE
NEWS OF THE WORLD LEADER IN ESSENTIAL OILS
A MESSAGE FROM MARY Hello, My Friends, I’m asking myself what happened to this year? It’s already half over. Perhaps it has gone by so fast for me because the Young Living world is moving so fast. Sometimes I feel like my head is spinning with so many thoughts and ideas at the same time. The rebirthing of Young Living, as I call it, has been fascinating and energizing. The new website and shopping platform are underway; and as we are getting acclimated, we can see how this is taking us into the world of digital marketing with its unlimited possibilities. I have often wondered how we are going to meet the needs of so much growth and expansion around the globe. However, as our Digital Transformation team has unveiled new programs to simplify shopping and help make our business building so much easier, I have felt a calmness knowing that these changes are taking us into unlimited future growth. I loved the convention this year. Rise Above— what a perfect theme. The stage was an experience of colour and beauty with exquisite music that seemed to take us to another world. It’s time to rise above negativity, above sad circumstances beyond our control, and spread an energy of positivity, hope, and happiness for the opportunity to reach beyond, restart, reignite, and re-energize our purpose to fulfill our divine destiny. I was totally enveloped in the idea of discovering who we are and what our divine destiny is, which carries the feeling of service—service to mankind with God’s gift of essential oils. We are blessed with many gifts that affect so many facets of life, but my focus is on our mission of essential oils in every home, to strengthen and uplift those people
in the world looking for a better way to have health, happiness, and abundance. When we formulated the trio of blends in Divine Destiny™, I felt a new kind of awareness, a new kind of enlightenment that was elevating and expanding in thought and action. Gary always said that you must put the energy of thought into motion to create your reality. That statement seems a little beyond our understanding for many of us, which is why we created the Divine Destiny Collection. A new book is coming out by Robert Tennyson Stevens titled My Word Made Flesh. It’s a very unusual title that brings curiosity and is about learning how your words can help create your reality—again, Gary’s direction of putting energy in motion. But in this book, we learn about our products and their ability or purpose to help us expand our minds and understand our state of being in an energic way—the evolution of energy. Do you think I’m talking in circles? Just read it and learn for yourself. It’s all an adventure of discovery in a world that is new for many of us. Gary was my introduction into the world of words and thoughts to create your destiny. He taught how important, energetically, essential oils are in supporting that creation. That was over 25 years ago when there wasn’t so much enlightenment on the planet. But that is changing, and we are waking up to the power that we carry within us and are learning how our oils can assist in that awakening. I shared the Divine Destiny Collection with many people before we even created our beautiful labels; but now that these blends have been introduced to the market, I am receiving many messages with such a variety of experiences. I’d like to share a portion of two experiences with you that are uniquely different and that might give you some insight into your journey. Because these testimonials were the earliest I received, we were able to film our members telling their own story for the convention, so perhaps you have already heard them. This is only the beginning of the path that many will walk, a beginning that is uplifting to all of us. Pamela Hunter, March 30, 2021 My personal experience with the Divine Destiny Collection: Daily Divine™, I Am Blessed™, and I Am Creative™ have reminded me how fun it is to be in the wonder and awe of consciously feeling unique and secure in the hands of God. My life’s work has been teaching myself and others how to read and listen to our own bodies and be more in our spiritual expression on this journey of life. Since I have been layering this trio for a few months every morning, my intuition and
IN MEMORY OF GARY: MAKE A DIFFERENCE THIS INTERNATIONAL ESSENTIAL OILS DAY Young Living will honour Gary’s legacy by donating up to $300,000 to student scholarships International Essential Oils Day (IEOD) takes place on July 11 in honour of Young Living Founder D. Gary Young’s birthday. Gary devoted his life to sharing nature’s most precious gift and kindled a global movement that touches the lives of millions. He also knew what it was like to come from nothing and spent significant time and resources helping students living in vulnerable circumstances. Often described as a modern pioneer, Gary took on many roles throughout his life, including innovator, historian, and explorer. He pursued ancient practices involving herbs, plants, and trees to unlock the full potential of essential oils. His research took him to remote corners of the earth as he sought to better understand these oils and all they had to offer. Gary dedicated 35 years to studying them and perfecting
ways to extract oils, all while building a billion-dollar global business designed to share this gift with the world. Gary also relished the role of philanthropist. While starting the Finca Botanica Farm and Distillery in Ecuador, Gary stumbled across a cinderblock building with no water, electricity, or bathrooms and discovered it was a school for 42 children. This was a turning point for Gary. He had driven past that building every day on his way to the farm, and he decided he wouldn’t just drive by anymore. He built the Young Living Academy near there. Thirteen years later, it educates nearly 350 students a year,

spontaneity have heightened to a whole new level of awakened awareness. My passion is enhanced and aligned for my greater good and all I meet in Daily Divine timing. My blessings guide my intuition: I Am Blessed. I wake up with a creative mind: I Am Creative. I see things and they manifest quickly. My daily activities feel more fulfilling and aligned with how and where I am called to serve. I feel I have been touched by Gary in an etheric way. As you experience this trio, keep in mind that we are the Young Living family that is growing with all who believe and live in alignment with their Daily Divine passion, blessings of faith, and creative love. Marcella Vonn Harting, April 5, 2021 I believe when we enter this life, we have a soul plan for our life purpose. The unique expression of who we are has a specific reason for being here on the planet right now. Some of us may not always know that reason, but by living authentically, that purpose in our journey will be revealed. The Divine Destiny Collection was created to work together synergistically as we walk that path of self-discovery. After three days of layering the oils, I experienced a tingling sensation at the same time on the top of my head in the evenings, which continued for three days. I was very aware that the number three was very consistent in my personal journey and remembering the specific teachings from D. Gary Young, which has enhanced my awareness in all aspects of life. I have been consciously aware of my intuition and the whisperings of that small voice from the Spirit all my life. After the three days of activation layering these blends, I experienced a heightened awareness of my intuition and my dreams, which has become a daily experience. Using the oils in this way has allowed me to interface and connect with the natural abundance of the Cosmic Plan and supports me in aligning with my destiny. Join me in this new journey of enlightenment as you align consciously with your divine destiny. What beautiful stories. I was uplifted when I read them and wanted to share this insight with all of you. I look at this as an evolution of our knowing, perhaps a new way of doing things with a positive attitude and heartfelt determination to reach our goals while we strive to improve our lives and serve others around us in strengthening our purpose and achieving our divine destiny. With love and gratitude,
opening up a world of educational opportunities to them that may have otherwise been out of reach. That’s why to honor Gary, the movement he started, and the legacy he left behind, Young Living will donate 5 percent of global sales—up to $300,000—from July 10–11 to the D. Gary Young Global Leadership Fund. This fund provides scholarships to exemplary graduates of the Young Living Academy in Ecuador, as well as advanced education scholarships to students around the world. When Gary passed away in 2018, he left behind a global community and a legacy of devotion to people and the planet. We know it would make him proud to see all the money raised to help these students pursue their dreams. We hope that you will also add your own personal touch to IEOD by planting something, discovering a new essential oil, or sharing an essential oil with a friend who might need it. When you do, please share how you celebrated IEOD on social media with the hashtags #IEOD and #internationalessentialoilsday. To learn more, head to InternationalEssentialOilsDay.com.
