Update on My Experiment With Valor Oil

Many of you may recall the Valor experiment that I started on August 26th. If you don’t remember the details, click here to read the full article.


I promised an update, so here it goes. . .


I have been using Valor daily on the bottom of my feet because of what Dr. LeAnne Deardeuf mentioned about how she used Valor oil when she first began using Young Living Oils. She put 1 or 2 drops of Valor on the bottom of her feet every day.


After about 3 months, she had a release of 35 pounds of excess water weight in one day. She explained that the word valor means courage and courage is the opposite of fear. The kidneys hold the emotion fear. The Valor had released her of all kinds of fear which let go of water which was probably a protection for her.


Well, I have been using Valor daily since August 26th. I did release some excess water but I didn’t notice a number in weight. I tend to avoid the scales. ; ) I know I released some water because I am noticing it in my shoes. They were tight before but now they are loose. I hadn’t thought of it but when I was running through the airport, I had trouble keeping them on.


It was at the airport where I really noticed some BIG changes in myself. Actually I noticed it weeks before the trip. I usually hate traveling anywhere by plane. I generally have all kinds of anxiety about flying. During the weeks before the trip, I kept wondering when the anxiety would set in. It never did. I was happy and excited to be going on the trip.


Once I got to the airport, I was having NO FEAR! Normally I would get irritated if anyone would talk to me. I was focused on surviving the trip and would ignore people. This trip was different. I was calm and talking with people along the way. Another thing that I is different is that I actually slept on the plane. Before I would have never been able to relax enough to sleep.


The whole trip was just wonderful and free of stress. I don’t ever remember enjoying a trip so much and feeling such peace.


This reduction fear has shown itself in other areas of my life. I am finding myself doing things that, in the past, I would never have been able to do.


Plus . . .


No anxiety attacks!!! I haven’t had any at all in a couple of months. I would get them in association with things that don’t feel comfortable doing. I have always had the ability to press on and do things in spite of my fear but now I am doing things with NO FEAR!! I am so loving the way I am feeling since using Valor daily.


Valor is an oil I think everyone needs, especially if you are dealing with things that cause stress. If you haven’t tried Valor yet, you’ve got to experience it. It’s AWESOME!


If you have any Valor experiences, I would love to hear them.

Using Valor to Release Fear From Past Trauma

Item No: 3429

Item No: 3429

Anyone want to join me in an experiment with Valor? Recently I was listening to an audio with Dr. LeAnne Deardeuff. She mentioned how she used Valor oil as the first oil from Young Living that she used. She put 1 or 2 drops of Valor on the bottom of her feet every day.  After about 3 months, she had a release of 35 pounds of excess water weight  in one day. She explained that the word valor means courage and courage is the opposite of fear. The kidneys hold the emotion fear. The Valor had released her of all kinds of fear which let go of water which was probably a protection for her.

As of August 26th I am experimenting with Valor EVERY DAY on my feet. I would love to experience a release in excess water, something I have been dealing with for years. I can also really relate to what Dr. Leanne said about fear. I have had fear for most of my life having been molested as a child and also experienced being abducted by a stranger, which I escaped from. Those events that happened in my childhood set me up for all kinds of fear and subconsciously protecting myself, including a struggle with weight which is another way we protect ourselves. I know I have been using weight for protection and every time people start to notice any weight loss, I have an anxiety attack and stop any weight loss efforts. 

 About a month ago I was listening to Carol Look in an online video where she was working with two women who  had childhood traumas.  Carol Look is an EFT expert (Emotional Freedom Technique) and she was helping them clear the emotional blocks that were holding them back. You can watch the video here:
http://www.thetappinginsidersclub.com/tic/?p=35

I love EFT and I have been using it for releasing many of my childhood traumas but I neglected to do any work on the abduction. I escaped from that before anything really bad happened so it never occurred to me that it had made such an impact, but as I was tapping along with that video I was realizing how much that event affected me. It was a “lightbulb moment.”

 I ALWAYS use oils when I do EFT. Release oil blend has been one of my favorites with EFT. Release works more with the liver and is great for releasing anger, but Valor for releasing fear is exciting to me. I have been well aware of fear in my life for many years. I used to get anxiety and panic attacks regularly. When I began my business with Young Living I was full of fear because I was afraid to be a leader. I was afraid to be visible. If you want any success in this business, you have to get over that.

 At the time, nearly 13 years ago, I had never heard of EFT, so I just pushed forward, not really realizing I could release my fear. Once I started using oils and EFT I have been making positive shifts and more and more comfortable with being a leader.

Now I am experimenting with Valor on my feet and to give it more power, I am doing daily EFT sessions on releasing the fear. I would love to release excess water but wouldn’t it be wonderful if I could release the fear of losing weight!

 On a side point, I have had trouble with cracked callouses on my heels for many years. Louise Hay’s book, “Heal Your Body” says callouses are “Fear Solidified.”

 I hope some of you will join me in this experiment. I think we all have things from our childhood that caused us to have some fear, hopefully not so traumatic but we all have levels of fear and other emotional issues. After all, we are all human, aren’t we?  ; )

 If you would like to share any encouraging experiences you have, I would love to publish them in another article I plan to do in a month or two. I will keep you updated on my progress releasing fear.

  • Keep hands away from nose, eyes and mouth.
  • Use tissues, not cloth handkerchiefs.
  • Get plenty of sleep, keep stress levels down and use supplements to enhance immune system.
  • If you have to shake hands with someone, be sure and wash your hands before rubbing eyes or nose.
  • Use the “Sneeze into your elbow” technique.

Office Desks and Unexpected Company - Germs

Saturday, 2 May 2009, 17:58 | Category : anti-viral, flu, germs, natural health, young living
Tags : , , , ,

You might call your office desk your “home away from home.” You spend hours at your computer. You make telephone calls, plan meetings, and sometimes even eat your lunch there when work piles up. Guess what else can be found at your desk? Germs. Lots of germs!

University of Arizona microbiologist Dr. Charles Gerba collected 328 samples in office buildings across America from cities such as Atlanta, Chicago, New York City, Tucson and San Francisco. He tested areas like the mouthpiece on phones, door handles, computer keyboards, desktops, and light switches. It is well known that cold and flu germs can survive on a surface for up to three days. What was surprising was where the most germs were found.

Dr. Gerba’s study showed that the average desk harbors 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat! The researchers found that bacteria levels continued to climb unless desks were wiped clean with a disinfectant.

The study was Funded by a grant from the Clorox Company and concluded that germs were higher in personal work areas than surfaces in common areas.

With the average workweek now 47.1 hours (according to the Families and Work Institute), employees need to get up to speed on office hygiene. The university-tested essential oil blend Thieves is the perfect weapon to use. Thieves Wipes and Spray are the “pollution solution” that can keep your desk, phone, and computer keyboard fresh and clean.

Immune System Support with NingXia Red

Tags : , , , ,

Wolfberries and NingXia Red are shown to support immune function. Studies show that wolfberries are effective at inhibiting inflammation and may induce an immune response. A landmark study published in the Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association concluded, “Wolfberry juice and its mixtures were shown to have immunomodulatory effects… by increasing splenic (spleen) microphages and splenic weight.” And:

  • Chinese scientists found that the wolfberry polysaccharide has “definite protective effects” on pancreas cells that regulate our body’s insulin system, the islets of Langerhans.
  • Other researchers have determined that special substances found in wolfberries have “prominent hepatoprotective activity,” meaning that they help protect the liver.

    NingXia Red is the only drink available that contains lemon and orange essential oils, which include the powerful antioxidant d-limonene. These oils alone have remarkable health-promoting benefits.

    1 oz. of NingXia Red has the same amount of
    antioxidant power as
    :

    34 large onions
    100 oranges
    814 blueberries
    22 medium carrots
    10.85 pounds of spinach
    55.33 pounds of almonds
    59 broccoli florets
    73 medium strawberries
    93 apples
    or 130 tomatoes

    Tips for Staying Healthy in Flu Season

    Saturday, 2 May 2009, 13:26 | Category : anti-viral, flu, natural health, young living
    Tags : , , , ,

    If you turn on the TV, listen to the news or surf the Internet, it is hard not to hear about the latest health scare: H1N1 virus, otherwise known as “Swine Flu”.

    We really don’t need to be in a panic about Swine Flu but, let’s face it, there are always bacteria viruses and flu germs around. It is wise to know and use natural and safer ways to protect ourselves and our families. What a powerful tool for protecting ourselves from germs we have with therapeutic grade essential oils. Many essential oils repel bacteria, virus, microbes, infection, fungus, are antiseptic, and a host of other things.

    Dr. Valnet points out that pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria do not become resistant to essential oils as they do to modern-day synthetic antibiotic drugs. He states, “Infectious microbes do not appear to become accustomed to the essential oils as they do to the many forms of treatment using antibiotics.” One reason virus and bacteria cannot mutate with the essential oils is because of the chemical constituents that make up essential oils. One essential oil can have anywhere from 200- 800 chemical constituents. It is impossible for a virus to mutate and adapt to that many chemical constituents. Drugs are made by isolating one or two constituents. A virus can easily mutate and adapt to the drug, making it useless.

    Blends like Thieves and Exodus II (and the accompanying supplement Exodus) I always have on hand, along with other single oils - such as peppermint, clove, lemon,oregano, lavender, only to name a few. When illness strikes, you need to have them already on hand.

    Bacteria are everywhere & some of it could be deadly. Common places that are thriving with bacteria: door knobs, elevator buttons, bathroom faucets, table tops, counter tops and the list goes on. This bacteria is spread in many ways. You pick it up whenever you touch anything.

    During cold & flu season and we are exposed all kinds of flu viruses. Colds can be caused by over 100 different types of viral pathogens, and flu viruses continually mutate from year to year. This makes it difficult for you to develop immunity to these ailments.

    Although many oils will protect, my number one favorite oil blend for protecting myself and my family . . .

    THIEVES OIL BLEND (Order Code #3423)Thieves is a “must have” for everyone, especially during the cold and flu season. It was created from research about the thieves during the 16th century plague in England who rubbed oils all over their bodies to protect themselves while they were robbing the dead and dying. It is a proprietary blend of pure essential oils tested at Weber State University for its potent germ killing properties. Thieves was found to have a 99.96 percent kill rate against airborne bacteria.

    It’s very important, not only to rub oils on your body, because it increases the oxygen and increases the immune defense system, but to diffuse the oils in your home so the oils will kill aerosols, virus and bacteria. That’s where I really like to encourage people to look at how they can diffuse the oils in their homes and clear up the aerosolproblems that we deal with.”

  • Hundreds of Scientific Reports Confirm Antimicrobial Action of Essential Oils in Thieves Blend “In recent years (1987-2001) a large number of essential oils and their constituents have been investigated for their antimicrobial properties…in more than 500 reports.
  • Testing from Weber State University, found Thieves to have a 99.96 percent kill rate against airborne bacteria.
  • Highly concentrated, a drop or two works wonders.
  • Eliminate airborne bacteria by diffusing Thieves in your home and office. Diffuse only 10 minutes a.m. and p.m.
  • Essential oils of spices and herbs (Thyme, Oregano, Mint, Cinnamon, Sage and Clove) were found to possess the strongest antimicrobial properties among the many tested.” (D. Kalemba; A. Kunika. Current Medicinal Chemistry. Vol. 10, No. 10. pg. 813-829. abstract.)
  • Save money by reducing doctor bills.
  • During flu season, it is important to wash your hands often and refrain from touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Many of our colds and flus can be prevented if we just do the simple task of washing your hands. I don’t mean rinsing them with water either. This means scrubbing your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds. Add one of the Thieves products to this and you have powerful tools for preventing illness.

    Consider Thieves Spray, Thieves Foaming Hand Soap or Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier.

    I also recommend a drop Thieves oil on the hands and rubbing your hands together.

    Drink plenty of water - Water is the basis of all life and that includes your body. Your muscles that move your body are 75% water; your blood that transport nutrients is 82% water; your lungs that provide your oxygen are 90% water; your brain that is the control center of your body is 76% water; even your bones are 25% water.

    Our health is truly dependent on the quality and quantity of the water we drink.

    Healthy Diet – Of course maintaining a good healthy diet comprised of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and organic meats is another way to keep your body clean and in good working order!

    NingXia Red Enhance Immunity
    In a landmark preclinical study published in the peer-reviewed Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association, researchers determined that wolfberry juice and NingXia Red provides immune-boosting benefits.

    It is also important to get plenty of rest and exercise.

    Protect your Family from Germs and Viruses with Thieves Oil

    Protect your Family from Germs and Viruses with Thieves Oil

    The Story of Thieves Oil

    Young Living’s Thieves essential oil blend was created
    based on the historical tale of four thieves in Europe who
    protected themselves from the black plague with cloves,
    rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing victims of
    the killer disease. When captured, they were offered a
    lighter sentence in exchange for their secret recipe. In
    modern days, these same herbs and essential oils have
    been found to be an effective barrier against topical and
    airborne microorganisms.

    Young Living’s proprietary Thieves oil blend includes
    clove, cinnamon bark, rosemary, lemon, and Eucalyptus
    radiata and has been specially blended to offer the same
    kind of defense as it did in the fifteenth century.

    Thieves has been university tested and found to be
    highly effective in supporting the immune system and
    good health.

    Let’s face it, germs, bacteria and respiratory viruses that
    surround us have never been stronger, or more
    antibiotic-resistant. That’s why it’s more important than
    ever to keep your health on alert against attacks to your
    immune system.

    Did You Know?

    Hundreds of Scientific Reports Confirm Antimicrobial
    Action of Essential Oils in Thieves Blend “In recent years
    (1987-2001) a large number of essential oils and their
    constituents have been investigated for their
    antimicrobial properties…in more than 500 reports.

    Clove oil, an ingredient in Thieves, has an ORAC score
    of over 10,000,000. Clove oil is the highest rated
    antioxidant in the world.

    Testing from Weber State University, found Thieves to
    have a 99.96 percent kill rate against airborne bacteria.

    Highly concentrated, a drop or two works wonders.

    Eliminate airborne bacteria by diffusing Thieves in your
    home and office. Diffuse only 10 minutes a.m. and p.m.

    Essential oils of spices and herbs (Thyme, Oregano,
    Mint, Cinnamon, Sage and Clove) were found to possess
    the strongest antimicrobial properties among the many
    tested.” (D. Kalemba; A. Kunika. Current Medicinal
    Chemistry. Vol. 10, No. 10. pg. 813-829. abstract.)

    A University of Arizona study found that office desks
    harbor 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet
    seat! The highest bacteria levels were found on
    telephones, desks, water fountain handles, shopping cart
    handles, microwave oven door handles, and computer
    keyboards. Even a small area on a desk can harbor
    millions of bacteria, which can cause illness, according to
    the study.
    - Study finds high levels of bacteria in personal office
    space.

    Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils

    Important Oils Tip!

    When buying essential oils always look for labels that
    state “genuine & authentic” or “Grade A.” Most people think the
    words, “Pure” or “100% Pure” on the label indicate the oils are
    good. This is just not true. Price is usually a good
    indicator of quality. I have seen lavender oil for $5.00 and
    rose oil for $10.00. It takes around 5000 pounds of rose
    petals to make 1 pound of rose oil. If you see rose oil for
    under $100.00. It is not pure rose oil.

    Much more is involved in therapeutic grade oil than just the
    purity. If they are not properly distilled, they won’t be
    therapeutic grade. Unlike most essential oils, Young Living Essential Oils are processed at low temperature and low pressure without the use of solvents or additives in order to retain all the natural, therapeutic properties.

    If you have never used therapeutic grade essential oils
    or if you have been using adulterated oils…
    You do NOT know their power!
