Essential Oils & Crystals for a Positive Mindset

Recently my essential oil group spent a month focusing on how to shift from a negative to a positive mindset. Our inner feelings and beliefs dominate our mindset. When we can identify the underlying feeling or belief, we can then start the shift from a negative to positive mindset.

These are some of our favorite essential oils and crystals to help us shift.

Shifting from overwhelm to motivated

We live in a world with a lot of noise and information overload. It can be so much that we feel smothered and weighed down which can create apathy and numbness. These are our favorites:

  • Magnify Your Purpose blend = Overwhelm can set in when you have lost your purpose. Smell this oil and let it get you back on track with your purpose.
  • Motivation blend = This was a team favorite and the name says it all! When you smell it or diffuse it, you will be amazed at what you get done.
  • Sacred Mountain blend = When you can calm and ground yourself, you can begin to re-energize and move out of the mindset of overwhelm.
  • Crystals I love for motivation are Celestite (helps calm when overwhelmed), Clear Quartz (amplifies your energy field simply by holding it) and Stellar Beam (Dog Tooth) Calcite (very high vibrational energy to get moving).

Shifting from worry & fear to strength & courage

Worry and fear are feelings of scarcity, lack, disempowerment, panic, and despair. All you are doing is traumatizing yourself about something in the future that has not and likely will not happen. Worry stores in the stomach as powerlessness and fear stores in the kidneys. These emotions will lower you in to a frequency where dis-ease can take root. So don’t go there! These are our favorites:

  • Valor blend = When we worry and are consumed with fear, we simply need to find our confidence and courage. Valor helps to shift your energy to get back on track.
  • Abundance blend = Abundance is an energy and mindset. It is about shifting to see all that you have in your life and that your glass is overflowing! When you see that, fear and worry melt away.
  • Present Time blend = When you are present, everything is perfect in that moment. Do not let your mindset get stuck in the past or worried and afraid of the future. This is a very calming blend that really helps to focus on being present.
  • Crystals I love for courage are Black Tourmaline (grounding and strength), Celestite (releases negative patterns of fear and worry) and Dumortierite (calming strength and courage).

Shifting from anger to forgiveness

Have you felt a lot of anger floating around in the air? Sometimes the anger that gets into our energy is actually not our own. But it still can still cause havoc in our body. Anger stores itself in our liver, and resentment in the spleen. When anger is not processed it can result in bitterness, intolerance, and settle into resentment … more toxic emotions for our poor body to deal with. These are our favorites:

  • Release blend = When you are ready to let go of toxic feelings and mindset. Topically apply over your liver and then deeply inhale it while saying “I release all negativity from body, mind and spirit”.
  • Forgiveness blend = As Mark Twain said, “”Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.” Forgiveness is beautiful once you find it. When you smell this blend it can bring you into a higher awareness and vibrational frequency to the point where you can let go and move on. Topically apply over your heart and then deeply inhale while saying “I am thankful for life’s experiences and the lessons they teach.”
  • Humility blend = Humility is the step after forgiveness so that we can learn and transform. It keeps you sweet and strong no matter what is happening around you.
  • Crystals I love for forgiveness are Blue Lace Agate (calming), Rose Quartz (forgiving) and Rutilated Quartz (let go of the past hurts).

Shifting from loneliness to self-love

Did you know that the remedy to loneliness is self-love? Lack of self-love can come from unresolved grief and when grief is not processed and released it can lead to depression. When you are comfortable hanging out with yourself, your thoughts, and engaging in self-care and personal development during isolation, you are less likely to feel lonely. These are our favorites:

  • Frankincense = Simply smelling this oil can get your energy moving. It is my favorite when missing a person, pet or lifestyle, to restore faith, to ground and uplift. It is also soothing for moments of unworthiness and loneliness.
  • White Angelica blend = You will want to slather all over yourself (your pets). I call it the Wrapped-In-A-Warm-Blanket Oil and the All-Is-Well oil. It is like being wrapped in love. It feels protective so that you do not feel the need to isolate. I love to use it with abused and shelter pets.
  • Hope blend = Hope is a good start with when it comes to deep emotional healing. Because other than love, we all need hope. When you combine the energy of Melissa for those who are highly sensitive with the deep grounding and empowerment of Juniper, Myrrh and Black Spruce, you find Hope! It is my go-to for deep emotions that need to be released. It will help you keep moving forward one day at a time.
  • Crystals I love for self-love are Citrine (happy vibe crystal), Lepidolite (contains lithium to pull out of grief and sadness) and Rose Quartz (self-love).

And always remember … Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.

Why essential oils?

YL farm store 2

For the past 3 years, my learning and use of essential oils has increased dramatically. I had used essential oils since the late 1990’s but I never talked about them or shared them. If social media existed back then, I would not have been posting about the oils. Why? Because they didn’t work! Sorry unnamed essential oils, all you did was smell pretty but you did nothing to support my physical, emotional, mental or spiritual health. And you had way too many precautions on how to use them and wouldn’t let me use them on my cats.

So why am I now talking about the oils and sharing them on social media? I found a brand that works! I no longer throw good money away on something that smells good; I invest my money in oils that actually support me from the inside out. And oils that I can use with my cats and other animals that I work with. It’s Young Living Essential Oils.

When I mention Young Living, a few people have immediately pushed back because (1) it’s a network/relationship marketing company so it’s a pyramid scheme, (2) they’ve read something unflattering about the company, or (3) they think the oils are too expensive.

Pinterest-MindfulnessHere’s what I know:

(1) Young Living is a network/relationship marketing company because they are brilliant about not spending money on TV/print/mass marketing and instead rely on the word of mouth of people who are using the oils. They are not a pyramid scheme. A pyramid scheme is an illegal scam where people invest money, the money flows up the hierarchy, and it does not involve the sale of products. Young Living is a $1+ billion company. Do you think that would have happened if it was a pyramid scheme? You are already sharing things that you love, right? Restaurants, movies, food, books, but you don’t get paid for doing it. Network marketing a brilliant business model to compensate people if they share your product, right? So what’s wrong with that? Absolutely nothing. There are hundreds (maybe thousands) of network marketing companies in the world and chances are you’ve purchased from one. If you have anything Tupperware in your house, you bought from a network marketing company. Avon, Mary Kay, Arbonne? Network marketing. So are we good that network/relationship marketing is not a scam?

(2) If you Google anyone or anything, you will find something negative. We all know people who love to complain from behind the safety of their computer. What I’ve learned over the years is that when you are an innovator, when you don’t play by the status quo rules, and you push boundaries to create something that no one else is or can, you will make some enemies along the way. It’s jealousy. Period. Some people love to knock down the movers and shakers. Innovative companies like Apple, Facebook, and so on have negative things about them on the Internet. But that doesn’t stop you from using Facebook or buying an Apple product, right? Do your own research and instead of looking for negative reviews, intentionally go looking for positive reviews and I can guarantee that you will find amazing stories about how Young Living essential oils are changing the lives of millions of people (and animals) across the planet. I don’t know about you, but I want to be associated with a mover-and-shaker like Young Living.

And (3) you can absolutely buy cheap oils at the health food store. But you’ll get cheap results like I did. Instead of wasting $14 on an adulterated synthetic bottle of Lavender oil, why not pay $23 for pure therapeutic grade Lavender oil from Young Living? When you align with a company that has its own farms, partner farms, and a process like Seed to Seal (which no one else has, but they try to replicate), you are guaranteed to have the best seed, best soil, best planting location, best time of harvest, best distillation process, and therefore the best purest oil in the bottle that you buy directly from the company. When I first started, I did not know to look for those factors in an essential oil. Once you know, you’ll never go back.

Think about this:

  • before Palo Santo (a tree) can be distilled, the tree has to lay on the ground for 2 years so that all of the oil’s constituents (those are the parts and pieces that actually do something) are available.
  • It takes 75 lemons to create one 15-ml bottle of pure therapeutic grade Lemon essential oil.
  • Young Living treks by boat into the Amazon to get the bark from a tree that gives us Copaiba oil (the most amazing overall wellness oil that you will find). I saw a video last year that showed the week-long round-trip adventure. That’s not a cheap trip. So when you see a $43 bottle of Copaiba from Young Living, ask yourself would I go into the Amazon on boat to get the bark to distill, or would I rather have someone experienced in that do it for me? The answer is simple, right?

PainReliefCream_Silo_USBut here’s something more that goes deeper than the effectiveness of the essential oils. The vision of Young Living is to bring essential oils to every home on the planet. The mission is to “honor our stewardship to champion nature’s living energy, essential oils, by fostering a community of healing and discovery while inspiring individuals to wellness, purpose, and abundance.”

  • Wellness: when you experience therapeutic-grade essential oils like Young Living, you will notice and feel the wellness benefits. It’s why Young Living has taken the oils and created dietary supplements, natural cleaners, food products, beauty products and more! Young Living has essential oils that are approved for dietary use. And they are the first essential oil company leading the way to having over-the-counter products that are based in essential oils like Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream and Agilease to work with acute inflammatory response in the body.
  • 2015 Earned ER and Free PromosPurpose: when you experience the benefits of the oils, you find a purpose in wanting to share the oils with other people. I tell my team that we should never keep the power of the Young Living oils to ourselves. People (and pets) are struggling and you may never know how sharing will impact a life. Most people want to help others and contribute to society. This is one way … this can give you a purpose.
  • Abundance: and when you share, you can experience abundance in all areas of life: health, relationships, spiritually, and financially. Young Living makes it easy to enjoy abundance through their Essential Rewards member loyalty club where you earn back a percentage of your monthly purchases in points to redeem for free products, to receiving free products each month based on how much you order. I love free stuff!

Rudy with Aria diffuserSo if you’ve wondered why I have been so chatty about the oils for the past 3 years, now you know. Because of my work with animals, I needed essential oils that were safe for them. And Young Living is the only essential oil company with a Veterinary Advisory Group and an Animal Essential Oil Conference. Because if I cannot use an essential oil on or around my pets, why would I use them on myself?

If you are using any essential oils, please make sure that they are pure therapeutic-grade and do not contain any synthetics or adulteration (especially if you are using them around pets, even the simple process of diffusing). And if you really want to make sure that the oil is pure from beginning to end, check this out.

And if you want to experience the benefits of Young Living, join my team …. the Purrmaste Oil Team! I have an awesome group of people (most of who have pets), we have our own Facebook page, you will receive all of my training workshops at no cost, and I’ll make sure that you know how to use these oils for your highest benefit. Win win, right?

Focus within, not without

This is not a political blog, yet I feel the need to discuss the most recent political poll in the context of the Law of Attraction. The NBC/Wall Street Journal poll that was released yesterday tells us that 78% of Americans feel that the country is headed in the wrong direction, almost half of Americans have labeled this Congress one of the worst ever in our history, and we are tired of the bickering and gridlock that is blocking our way out of the recession. The poll goes on to show that Americans are upset about the wealthy getting wealthier and the disappearing middle class. Americans feel broke and depleted. Americans want to feel better about their livelihood and security, and are looking to politicians to make that happen.

That last sentence is where we are collectively going very wrong. If you have ever read any book on self-improvement, self-awareness, or spiritual development, one of the fundamental principles for living a worry-free life is that you cannot base your happiness or security on any outside person, agency or situation. Security, happiness, abundance, and all other feelings come from within, not from without (outside of you). This is the fundamental problem that I see with Americans today; they need to stop placing their happiness and wellbeing in other people (politicians), other agencies (the government) or other situations (the reversal of the economy). Until we as a society can collectively shift our focus and find our own inner security, we will continue to flounder.

The more I learn, practice and coach on the Law of Attraction, the more I actually feel like a tourist watching America crumble. How is it that I feel hopeful, abundant, and excited about each day and the future while others are disintegrating in fear and anger? My universe gives back that hope, abundance and excitement. We question why the wealthy are getting wealthier; it is because they put out the wealthy vibe. Check out my blog from last week on that issue. You get what you give. And if you are giving a vibe of nervousness, worry, anger, and waiting for someone (a newly elected Congress or President) to make you feel better, then the Universe will give you nervousness, worry, anger and will keep you waiting.

It is easy to shrug off the Law of Attraction as nonsense, but just look around you objectively and you will see it working all around you. Quantum physics has validated the Law of Attraction. Americans are obsessed with the economy, the unemployment rate, the housing crisis, rising health care costs, rising ailments and illnesses, dwindling income and crises in other countries. That obsession sends a powerful message to the Universe that we want more of what we focus on. So we are sent more concerns about the economy, unemployment, housing, health care, illnesses, faltering income, and other countries.

No matter where you are in life, you can step back objectively and look and your surroundings and make a conscious decision to change what you see and what you experience. You can choose to see your world and country as an enemy out to get you, or you can choose to see life as thrilling and supportive. The Law of Attraction is just energy; and energy is all around us. Energy changes all the time and you have the power to change it.

If you have read this far, I ask that you please forward this blog to everyone that you know. When we can collectively shift our energy to a more positive outlook, that sends an extremely powerful vibration out that comes back to us even stronger. Singularly, you can effect change on your own in your own life, but imagine 100 people, 1000 people, an entire city, or even an entire nation collectively believing “We are done with feeling lack, desperation and worry. We deserve and intend to feel complete, abundant, joy and excitement about tomorrow and the future.” Say those words to yourself and notice how the first sentence feels heavy and negative and the second feels light and hopeful. Which one do you want to be?

Everything in life is a choice; we have free will. So why would anyone intentionally chose to live in a world where they are terrified of losing their job, their house, their money, or their life? If any of those situations are happening to you now, why would you keep your focus on them? That is no way to live and I do not believe that our parents brought us into this world to live in such terror. We can shake out of this and come out on the other side feeling more content and joy. But those feelings can only come from within. No one can make you happy except yourself. So even though we live in a world that may seem controlled by others, it really is not. You are in charge of your world and your destiny. So what choice do you want to make? Let me know because I’d love to share in your journey. If you need help along the path, you know where to find me for guidance.

Abandon the Poverty Mindset

We’ve been hearing much about people’s wealth (or lack thereof) in the media and political debates lately. The 1% are clamoring against the 99% who hold significant wealth in the U.S. Abundance and wealth are popular topics in the Law of Attraction world, but those two words mean more than financial wealth; they cover feeling abundantly happy, abundantly healthy, and feeling joyous wealth in aspects of life.  Wealth means having abundant health, wealth and happiness. Knowing this, I have been watching with curiosity the Occupy movements that are moving across the U.S. and keep coming back to this one question?

Why do a small percentage of people amass the most financial wealth? If you have ever read any book on the Law of Attraction, the answer is simple: those people hold a belief system, thought system and action system that is based on abundance and wealth. It is as simple as that. The Law of Attraction teaches us that we create our world and view our world is through our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and actions. And while there are nuances to the Law of Attraction in manifesting what you desire, the simple process is this: what you think is what you see; what you feel manifests; what you believe matches up to what you have; and what action you take directly relates to whether you achieve your desires.

Do you know anyone who has a mindset that “you have to work hard to make money,” or “you have to have a certain education/experience to make money,” or “you have to born into wealth to make money”? We all know someone who has a poverty mindset. In fact, I bet that most people we know have a poverty mindset. Do you think Donald Trump has a poverty mindset? Do you think the Wall Street bankers have a poverty mindset even when their industry is crashing around them? No, they have an abundant mindset. People with an abundant mindset can earn millions or billions of dollars, lose it all to bankruptcy, and build it back up in a matter of years. Donald Trump has done that. So how do they do it? They have a core belief system that they will be abundant no matter what. This belief system drives their thoughts, feelings and actions. And when these line up and work together, the Law of Attraction is an absolute law and says that you will manifest what you desire, believe and focus on.

With the struggling economy, I have said for several years that we need a collective shift in our belief system away from poverty. One of the biggest issues with people and companies who come into a significant amount of money is that they lose it quickly. These proverbial lottery winners have a poverty mindset and when they receive a windfall, they cannot keep it. The money does not match their poverty vibration. I used to work for an organization that suffered from this. So being abundant and wealthy is not a matter of getting your hands on money; instead it is about getting yourself into a mindset where you feel abundant, joyful and no worry about money.

If the masses stopped focusing on unemployment, homelessness, the recession, and every other condition that goes with a downturned economy, then we could swiftly change the energy in this country to an abundant mindset. Instead, people talk about their struggles, watch the news about the economy and believe in the messages, and live their lives waiting for disaster to strike. Is it any wonder that when disaster strikes we are surprised? Tomorrow, pay careful attention to conversations around you and keep track of all of the negative conversations. After doing so, you will understand why the country is struggling.

Everything in your life has been created by you. The Law of Attraction, like the Law of Gravity, is clear on that. It can be a bitter pill to swallow because no one would ever want to create joblessness, homelessness, or a failing bank/stock portfolio. Yet that is exactly what the citizens of the United States and other countries are doing. They are wallowing in despair and the poverty mindset.

We need a wake up call. And regardless of where you are at in life, you can change your mindset. I speak of this from experience. Not too long ago, I had inconsistent and insufficient income coming in to my life. But I never focused on it. I simply focused on doing what I love (whether it brought in money or not), believed deeply in my core that everything would work out because it always had, stayed away from negative news reporting or discussions by friends/family, and focused my life on doing what brought me joy. This created a high-level vibration to where I truly felt abundant (financially, emotionally, and physically). I frankly had never felt so good. People in my life had no idea that I had inconsistent income because I refused to live and act like it was true. Instead, I had an abundant vibration. I was not pretending; I really felt abundant. And sure enough, in the middle of a recession, I attracted work that I desired with consistent income that was more than I had ever made.

You have a choice in how you want to live your life. You have a choice in the type of society you want to live in. Whether you are unemployed, working in a dead-end lifeless job, or have the job of your dreams, you can create and sustain an abundant mindset. So what is your choice? Do you want a poverty mindset filled with worry, or an abundant mindset filled with relaxation, joy and financial freedom? It truly is your call.

Like casting a stone in a pond, you alone can create ripples that will impact others in a positive way. Take that step today to change your mindset and help our country recover.
