Open up your Facebook feed or turn on the television and it’s obvious that essential oils are having a moment. Chances are, you know several people who swear by their benefits (and maybe even someone who sells them). But is it just another fad or are essential oils here to stay? And more importantly, what exactly do people claim they do? First of all, essential oils haven’t just hit the mainstream; they’ve actually been around for thousands of years as a way to increase emotional, physical and spiritual wellness. Aromatic diffusion, topical application and dietary consumption are the three main ways people can reap benefits. “I started using essential oils three years ago after one of my co-workers told me about using them for her daughter’s GI issues,” said Jennifer McGraw, a distributor for Young Living Essential Oils and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee nursing student living in Whitefish Bay. “I thought, ‘Where have these been all my life?’ I’ve seen huge improvements

When the unexpected happens, you always have your inner core strength which cannot be taken from you. In life, we are always setting goals for ourselves and working to make them happen. This gives us focus and ensures that we use our time and energy efficiently and effectively. It also provides us with a sense of purpose and direction. We know where we are going and what we want to do. But quite often, due to forces outside our control, things do not go as we had planned—the flat tire on the way to the wedding, the unforeseen flu virus—and we have to adjust to a postponement or create a whole new set of circumstances. Even positive turns of fortune — an unexpected influx of cash or falling in love — require us to be flexible and to reconsider our plans and priorities, sometimes in the blink of an eye. This is what happens when life throws you a curve ball. The ability to accept what is happening and let go of your original expectations is key when dealing with these unexpected

The use of a talking stick during counsel assures every voice is heard fully without interruption. When we sit in a circle together and share our thoughts and feelings, we participate in a powerful, unifying practice whose origins stem from the very beginning of human time. All early cultures practiced some form of this ritual, which gives each individual in the group a voice, and at the same time reveals the one voice, and the ultimate unity, of the group. This profound and simple way of talking and listening has experienced a modern rebirth in counseling, social work, and spirituality. Most circles benefit from the presence of a leader who opens the circle by calling in angels, spirit guides, and ancestors—beings of light who will be present with those taking counsel. The leader may announce a theme for the circle, or one may simply evolve from the unstructured expressions of each participant. The circle continues for as long as feels right, at which point the leader may summ

Being aware of the connection between all things can help you in terms of the broader effect you may be creating. There are times when we may feel disconnected from the world. Our actions can seem like they are of no major consequence, and we may feel like we exist in our own vacuum. Yet, the truth is that our simplest thought or action – the decisions we make each day, and how we see and relate to the world – can be incredibly significant and have a profound impact on the lives of those around us, as well as the world at large. The earth and everything on it is bound by an invisible connection between people, animals, plants, the air, the water, and the soil. Insignificant actions on your part, whether positive or negative, can have an impact on people and the environment that seem entirely separate from your personal realm of existence. Staying conscious of the interconnection between all things can help you think of your choices and your life in terms of the broader effect you

The following is an excerpt from the "Stop Being a Victim, Become a Creator" on-line course. If you would like to enroll in the course,  click here . Living In The Present Moment We've all heard it, but how often do we actually do it? Present moment awareness is fundamental if we wish to evolve as human beings, for the present is the only place where we can truly connect with ourselves, with the inner experience of peace and fulfillment that I call "Love-Consciousness". Love-consciousness is the most natural thing in the world. It is the unconditional love within all beings, an experience that keeps expanding when we dive deep within ourselves. It is not a strange or ethereal experience but something very concrete and natural; you have probably experienced it before in moments of your life — maybe while spending time with a baby, expressing yourself creatively, watching the sun set, or meditating. Love-consciousness lives in the present moment, so st

Hello and good morning.  This is Dr. Rob.  It is another awesome and amazing day in the universe.  I'm here to share some thoughts, they're only thoughts, either good, neutral, or bad thoughts.  The good thoughts are the joy and happiness of everything around you.  The good thoughts are knowing that everything around you is created by the thoughts within you.  The bad thoughts come from the same place within.  Pure love is the key and the way to be.  Somehow to see the good, the bad, and the neutral as all God's way of creating life, of shifting, changing, and evolving.  The graciousness of every day is to love.  Yes, that old instinctual being of jealousy, regret, guilt, fear, and worry is that old instinctual button that you control within with the practice of joy and love. When Jesus says, "Love thy enemy," he knew what hating your enemy did to you.  He knew that loving your enemy would soothe every cell in your body and vibrate the joy and happiness with
