Abundance oil lifted me out of severe depression within minutes of applying it. It is an oil blend that seems to help when depression is related to money issues, which seems to be something a lot of people are dealing with these days because of the economy the way it is.

Not only do I love Abundance oil blend for its mood uplifting properties, but I love the way Abundance oil blend attracts abundance. I have seen it over and over in my life and especially in my business.

Abundance oil is one that we really need, especially in the times we are living in with the economic situation the way it is.

If you are familiar with the Law of Attraction, you know that what you focus on you attract more of. When you worry and stress over the economy, you hinder the abundant energy you have in your body. That makes it almost impossible to build a business or attract any kind of abundance.

I have seen the Law of Attraction working from both sides. I see it today in my prosperous business but years ago, I went through a time where I was desperate to generate enough income to just make ends meet. That is actually the cause of the severe depression I was having before someone who knew I was depressed, cared enough to share Abundance oil with me.

That was a time of struggle financially. I was in a sales job with a home cleaning system where I had to visit people’s home to demonstrate the cleaner and only got paid when I sold one. It seemed as though I couldn’t sell one if my life depended on it. Actually, my financial life did depend on it.

The owner of the company came with me on some presentations to see what I was doing wrong. When we were leaving a home presentation, she said, “I don’t understand why you aren’t selling anything, you are really good!”

I didn’t understand the Law of Attraction back than but I do today. The reason I couldn’t make any sales is because I had an energy vibration of desperation. I desperately needed a sale.

I was radiating that desperate energy. People could feel it. They didn’t realize it and I didn’t realize I was affecting people with my desperate energy.

Here is another example – Around that same time my husband and I were traveling and doing art shows for our jewelry designs. Mark, my husband, made flameworked glass beads and I did copper enamel designs. We put them together with gemstones and made beautiful works of wearable art.

We won several best of show awards with our designs and even drew crowds with Mark demonstrating glass bead making over a flame, but making enough money to create a living was a real struggle. We would often just cover show expenses. People would come in and rave about how beautiful our designs were and then just leave.

Oh how I wish I had known about Abundance oil back then! Well, today I am so very grateful for Abundance oil blend. It is, hands down, my favorite oil. I use it EVERY DAY. By using Abundance oil, I become like a magnet attracting abundance. I would never consider touching anything business related without using Abundance oil first.

Abundance is a blend that raises your energetic vibration to attract greater prosperity into your life. It is an oil blend that is "created to enhance the frequency of the harmonic magnetic energy field that surrounds us. This higher frequency creates the "law of attraction," a harmonic magnetic energy field around oneself.

One time I found a bunch of money blowing around in the wind. In the process of picking it up, I saw a wallet. It had the name and address of the person who lost it. I put all the money back in the wallet and took it to him. I knocked on his door and told him I found his wallet. He was so thrilled to get his credit cards and drivers license, he gave me all the money inside as a reward.

If you are a Young Living Distributor, you should be wearing Abundance oil everywhere. It is a great conversation starter. Abundance oil smells wonderful and MANY people ask me what that wonderful smell is. That is an automatic opening to share a drop of Abundance oil and give your business card.

You get the idea. In these economic times Abundance oil can be a big help in, not only surviving but THRIVING financially.

1. Mood uplifting. I really love the mood uplifting oils. Frankincense is very powerful this way. I generally wear it like a perfume.

2. Frankincense is great for skin care – Frankincense promotes skin regeneration, and is an excellent choice for preventing or reducing wrinkles when used topically. I personally use it neat, but some prefer to dilute it with a carrier oil.

3. Relieve Skin Itching – Apply a couple drops of Frankincense to the area of itching.

4. Relieve Pain - Rub on sore joints to relieve arthritis pain and pain from injuries.

5. Disinfect Cuts and Scrapes – Apply a drop of Frankincense to wounds to clean and disinfect.

6. Remove Warts – Apply topically to the wart. Apply a couple times a day until the wart is gone. May take a couple weeks.

7. Reduce Inflammation - Put a few drops in capsule or apply topically.

8. Strengthen Immune System – Apply to bottom of feet or take in capsule. Never take oils internally unless you are using Young Living Oils. Many oils are adulterated even though labeled 100% PURE.

Experiences with Frankincense

Chronic Itch
I had an itch on my leg that I just couldn't get rid of. I had it for 2 or 3 years. It was so bad I scratched all the time and it formed a callous. I tried everything I could think of. One night I was using Frankincense before bed and decided to give it a try. I applied one drop to the itch. It didn't itch for a week afterward. So, I applied another drop...now the callous is gone, skin is normal, and if I feel an itch coming on (very infrequent now) I just apply a drop of Frankincense. -- Vanessa

Warts I have suffered with more than thirteen warts, some as big as peas, on my hands for several years. I have tried every product on the market, as well as all the home remedies I heard about, but I had no luck getting rid of them. After receiving my Young Living Essential Oils, I decided to experiment with them. I started rubbing some Spruce Oil and Frankincense Oil on them once or twice a day. After two weeks all my warts were completely gone. -- Judy

Planters Warts I have had two planter warts for ten years on my feet, each the size of a dime. I tried a prescription medicine on them twice, with no success and much pain as it killed the skin around the entire area. After two months of applying Frankincense, they have reduce to half the size, without the pain. -- Garry

I had an 8 inch surgical incision. The day the staples came out the oils went on! Twice daily, I applied Frankincense, Lavender, Helichrysum, Gentle Baby, Melrose, and Hyssop. At the time we did not have Elemi but I would have added that as well. At night before I went to sleep after applying my oils I put the highest IU vitamin E oil I could find at the health food store. Then, I put a piece of cotton material over it and secured it with adhesive tape so the vitamin E oil would soak in. I did this treatment faithfully for about 2 or 2 1/2 months and today I have absolutely no scar what so ever!!! Thank you God for Gary Young and our precious sacred oils!!! -- Julie ]]>

I wanted to share a few of my favorite ways to use Frankincense oil. Actually, there are a lot more ways than 8 for using Frankincense.

Let me tell you an experience I had a couple years ago that emphasized this for me.

One day I was washing windows while I was home alone. Yea, I know. Probably not the best idea to be working with glass when I am alone in the house, especially when I live out in the sticks.

Anyway, the windows were the kind of storm windows that tip down and can be lifted off the track. For some reason I got careless and let go of the windowpane as it slid off the track. The whole thing broke over my head. Glass shattered everywhere. When I looked down at my arm, I saw a piece of glass sticking out of my arm. It was only about a quarter of an inch sticking out so I didn't think anything of it so I pulled it out. Well, that shard of glass turned out to be over 2 inches long. When I pulled out the glass, the blood started spraying everywhere. It wasn't long before it looked like a crime scene where someone had been slaughtered.

I panicked and ran to my oil shelf. I was so SCARED! My heart was pounding which was causing me to bleed more profusely. I knew I had to get myself calmed down if I was to stop the blood flow. I grabbed the Peace & Calming and with one hand trying to add pressure to the wound and the other I opened the bottle. I dumped too much on my chest, just to get some on and be able to smell it. Within seconds I could feel myself calming down.

Once I got the Peace & Calming on my body, I needed an oil that would help stop the blood flow. I knew helichrysum oil was the best oil for stopping bleeding but I was out of that one so reached for AromaLife, an oil blend with helichrysum in it. I had to remove the pressure from the wound to get the AromaLife on it. When removed the pressure, the blood was still gushing. I must have nicked a small vein. I opened the bottle of AromaLife and dropped several drops on the wound and on a cloth I was trying to use to add pressure.

By this time I tried to call my husband but he was fishing and had no cell signal so I called my brother Brian. Brian is a fireman and is trained in emergency medical services. He came to help and assess the situation but by the time he got to my house I had the bleeding stopped, thanks to Peace & Calming and AromaLife. Brian insisted I come with him and stay at his house that afternoon so he could monitor me since I had lost so much blood and I refused to go to the hospital. I mean, what is the point? I got the bleeding stopped and Brian dressed the wound for me.

I am so very grateful I had oils in my first aid kit. I hate to think what would have happened if I didn’t have my oil first aid kit. I was alone in the house and we live in a very rural area. With the rate of bleeding was doing, I knew I was on my own to get things under control. It would take too long to get help. I couldn't drive myself to the hospital and keep pressure on the wound at the same time.

In the Essential 7 Kit, there are 2 oils that I would reach for to stop bleeding. PanAway would be my first choice because it has helichrysum in it. The other oil that is helpful to stop bleeding is lemon. Peace & Calming is also one of the oils in the Essential 7 Kit. Peace & Calming is a MUST in most any emergency. It helps you calm down so you can deal with whatever trauma is going on.

I have had MANY experiences with my essential oil first aid kit. I also carry a mini first aid kit in my purse. It is always with me wherever I go.

The oils of the Essential 7 Kit are great for first aid but there are also lots of other oils you can use.

I am SUPER excited about the August Promotion with Young Living Essential Oils. It’s a FREE Essential 7 Kit.
I know, you have heard me say it many times, but the Essential 7 Kit is a great group of oils to have in your first aid kit. I can’t express enough how important a well-stocked first aid kit can be. Medicinal grade essential oils are powerful weapons in all kinds of emergencies.
Let me tell you an experience I had a couple years ago that emphasized this for me.

Abundance oil is my favorite of all Young Living’s essential oils. I love lots of other oils but Abundance oil is the one that started my essential oil journey. Abundance oil was introduced to me at a time when I was hopelessly depressed. I was having suicidal feelings but I had decided that I would never be able to go through with suicide because of all the damage that is done to those left behind.

My mother had received her Young Living Essential Oils order which contained Essential 7 Kit and a bottle of the essential oil blend Abundance. She knew I was seriously depressed so she brought the oils over for me to try. Joy is the oil she thought needed but I was drawn to Abundance oil. I put the Abundance on and within minutes my mood was lifted up so much I was giggling and dancing around the house. My son Brandon, who was still living with us at that time, came home and saw the way I was acting. He just stared at me for a few minutes, then asked, “Are you ON SOMETHING?”

And so began my love affair with Young Living’s therapeutic grade essential oils.

I had used essential oils in the past but NEVER had any positive effects. What I had been using before was perfume grade essential oils. No life in them and no health benefits.

I believe the reason this oil is the one I needed at the time is because Abundance is an oil that relates to attracting abundance. It also seems to help depression that is related to money issues. At the time we were going through terrible financial problems and were close to losing everything.

I was hopelessly depressed and would never consider taking antidepressants because of what I had already learned about natural health and what I have seen happen to others on those drugs.

As I write this story, which I have told many times, I still get tears in my eyes. It is THE REASON I became a distributor with Young Living Essential Oils. I had such a powerful experience with essential oils, I immediately started thinking how many people could benefit from having these marvels of creation. At the time I was a distributor for another company that sold herbal supplements but I was failing miserably. I had wanted to have a way to supplement our income and hopefully provide a means to help our financial situation.

One thing I learned is that essential oils are the life blood of the plant. When herbs are cut & dehydrated for therapeutic use, they can lose as much as 90% of the healing nutrients as well as the vast majority of the vital oxygen molecules. The reason is because they lose most of the essential oil which is actually the part that is responsible for healing properties.

Therapeutic grade essential oils, when properly distilled, are so highly concentrated, most of them are at least 50 – 100 times more therapeutically potent than the herbs or plants they came from.

Besides all of that, Abundance oil just smells great. It has cinnamon, patchouli, frankincense, myrrh, orange and clove. If you haven’t tried it, give it a try.

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.

Abundance oil lifted me out of severe depression within minutes of applying it. It is an oil blend that seems to help when depression is related to money issues, which seems to be something a lot of people are dealing with these days because of the economy the way it is.

Not only do I love Abundance oil blend for its mood uplifting properties, but I love the way Abundance oil blend attracts abundance. I have seen it over and over in my life and especially in my business.

Abundance oil is one that we really need, especially in the times we are living in with the economic situation the way it is.

If you are familiar with the Law of Attraction, you know that what you focus on you attract more of. When you worry and stress over the economy, you hinder the abundant energy you have in your body. That makes it almost impossible to build a business or attract any kind of abundance.

I have seen the Law of Attraction working from both sides. I see it today in my prosperous business but years ago, I went through a time where I was desperate to generate enough income to just make ends meet. That is actually the cause of the severe depression I was having before someone who knew I was depressed, cared enough to share Abundance oil with me.

That was a time of struggle financially. I was in a sales job with a home cleaning system where I had to visit people’s home to demonstrate the cleaner and only got paid when I sold one. It seemed as though I couldn’t sell one if my life depended on it. Actually, my financial life did depend on it.

The owner of the company came with me on some presentations to see what I was doing wrong. When we were leaving a home presentation, she said, “I don’t understand why you aren’t selling anything, you are really good!”

I didn’t understand the Law of Attraction back than but I do today. The reason I couldn’t make any sales is because I had an energy vibration of desperation. I desperately needed a sale.

I was radiating that desperate energy. People could feel it. They didn’t realize it and I didn’t realize I was affecting people with my desperate energy.

Here is another example – Around that same time my husband and I were traveling and doing art shows for our jewelry designs. Mark, my husband, made flameworked glass beads and I did copper enamel designs. We put them together with gemstones and made beautiful works of wearable art.

We won several best of show awards with our designs and even drew crowds with Mark demonstrating glass bead making over a flame, but making enough money to create a living was a real struggle. We would often just cover show expenses. People would come in and rave about how beautiful our designs were and then just leave.

Oh how I wish I had known about Abundance oil back then! Well, today I am so very grateful for Abundance oil blend. It is, hands down, my favorite oil. I use it EVERY DAY. By using Abundance oil, I become like a magnet attracting abundance. I would never consider touching anything business related without using Abundance oil first.

Abundance oil blend is my favorite oil of all Young Living’s oils. Abundance oil blend is the reason I am a distributor with Young Living Essential Oils.

Abundance oil lifted me out of severe depression within minutes of applying it. It is an oil blend that seems to help when depression is related to money issues, which seems to be something a lot of people are dealing with these days because of the economy the way it is.

Not only do I love Abundance oil blend for its mood uplifting properties, but I love the way Abundance oil blend attracts abundance. I have seen it over and over in my life and especially in my business.

Abundance oil is one that we really need, especially in the times we are living in with the economic situation the way it is.

If you are familiar with the Law of Attraction, you know that what you focus on you attract more of. When you worry and stress over the economy, you hinder the abundant energy you have in your body. That makes it almost impossible to build a business or attract any kind of abundance.

I have seen the Law of Attraction working from both sides. I see it today in my prosperous business but years ago, I went through a time where I was desperate to generate enough income to just make ends meet. That is actually the cause of the severe depression I was having before someone who knew I was depressed, cared enough to share Abundance oil with me.

That was a time of struggle financially. I was in a sales job with a home cleaning system where I had to visit people’s home to demonstrate the cleaner and only got paid when I sold one. It seemed as though I couldn’t sell one if my life depended on it. Actually, my financial life did depend on it.

The owner of the company came with me on some presentations to see what I was doing wrong. When we were leaving a home presentation, she said, “I don’t understand why you aren’t selling anything, you are really good!”

I didn’t understand the Law of Attraction back than but I do today. The reason I couldn’t make any sales is because I had an energy vibration of desperation. I desperately needed a sale.

I was radiating that desperate energy. People could feel it. They didn’t realize it and I didn’t realize I was affecting people with my desperate energy.

1. Mood uplifting. I really love the mood uplifting oils. Frankincense is very powerful this way. I generally wear it like a perfume.

2. Frankincense is great for skin care – Frankincense promotes skin regeneration, and is an excellent choice for preventing or reducing wrinkles when used topically. I personally use it neat, but some prefer to dilute it with a carrier oil.

3. Relieve Skin Itching – Apply a couple drops of Frankincense to the area of itching.

4. Relieve Pain - Rub on sore joints to relieve arthritis pain and pain from injuries.

5. Disinfect Cuts and Scrapes – Apply a drop of Frankincense to wounds to clean and disinfect.

6. Remove Warts – Apply topically to the wart. Apply a couple times a day until the wart is gone. May take a couple weeks.

7. Reduce Inflammation - Put a few drops in capsule or apply topically.

8. Strengthen Immune System – Apply to bottom of feet or take in capsule. Never take oils internally unless you are using Young Living Oils. Many oils are adulterated even though labeled 100% PURE.

Experiences with Frankincense

Chronic Itch
I had an itch on my leg that I just couldn't get rid of. I had it for 2 or 3 years. It was so bad I scratched all the time and it formed a callous. I tried everything I could think of. One night I was using Frankincense before bed and decided to give it a try. I applied one drop to the itch. It didn't itch for a week afterward. So, I applied another drop...now the callous is gone, skin is normal, and if I feel an itch coming on (very infrequent now) I just apply a drop of Frankincense. -- Vanessa

Warts I have suffered with more than thirteen warts, some as big as peas, on my hands for several years. I have tried every product on the market, as well as all the home remedies I heard about, but I had no luck getting rid of them. After receiving my Young Living Essential Oils, I decided to experiment with them. I started rubbing some Spruce Oil and Frankincense Oil on them once or twice a day. After two weeks all my warts were completely gone. -- Judy

Planters Warts I have had two planter warts for ten years on my feet, each the size of a dime. I tried a prescription medicine on them twice, with no success and much pain as it killed the skin around the entire area. After two months of applying Frankincense, they have reduce to half the size, without the pain. -- Garry

I had an 8 inch surgical incision. The day the staples came out the oils went on! Twice daily, I applied Frankincense, Lavender, Helichrysum, Gentle Baby, Melrose, and Hyssop. At the time we did not have Elemi but I would have added that as well. At night before I went to sleep after applying my oils I put the highest IU vitamin E oil I could find at the health food store. Then, I put a piece of cotton material over it and secured it with adhesive tape so the vitamin E oil would soak in. I did this treatment faithfully for about 2 or 2 1/2 months and today I have absolutely no scar what so ever!!! Thank you God for Gary Young and our precious sacred oils!!! -- Julie ]]>

I wanted to share a few of my favorite ways to use Frankincense oil. Actually, there are a lot more ways than 8 for using Frankincense.

Let me tell you an experience I had a couple years ago that emphasized this for me.

One day I was washing windows while I was home alone. Yea, I know. Probably not the best idea to be working with glass when I am alone in the house, especially when I live out in the sticks.

Anyway, the windows were the kind of storm windows that tip down and can be lifted off the track. For some reason I got careless and let go of the windowpane as it slid off the track. The whole thing broke over my head. Glass shattered everywhere. When I looked down at my arm, I saw a piece of glass sticking out of my arm. It was only about a quarter of an inch sticking out so I didn't think anything of it so I pulled it out. Well, that shard of glass turned out to be over 2 inches long. When I pulled out the glass, the blood started spraying everywhere. It wasn't long before it looked like a crime scene where someone had been slaughtered.

I panicked and ran to my oil shelf. I was so SCARED! My heart was pounding which was causing me to bleed more profusely. I knew I had to get myself calmed down if I was to stop the blood flow. I grabbed the Peace & Calming and with one hand trying to add pressure to the wound and the other I opened the bottle. I dumped too much on my chest, just to get some on and be able to smell it. Within seconds I could feel myself calming down.

Once I got the Peace & Calming on my body, I needed an oil that would help stop the blood flow. I knew helichrysum oil was the best oil for stopping bleeding but I was out of that one so reached for AromaLife, an oil blend with helichrysum in it. I had to remove the pressure from the wound to get the AromaLife on it. When removed the pressure, the blood was still gushing. I must have nicked a small vein. I opened the bottle of AromaLife and dropped several drops on the wound and on a cloth I was trying to use to add pressure.

By this time I tried to call my husband but he was fishing and had no cell signal so I called my brother Brian. Brian is a fireman and is trained in emergency medical services. He came to help and assess the situation but by the time he got to my house I had the bleeding stopped, thanks to Peace & Calming and AromaLife. Brian insisted I come with him and stay at his house that afternoon so he could monitor me since I had lost so much blood and I refused to go to the hospital. I mean, what is the point? I got the bleeding stopped and Brian dressed the wound for me.

I am so very grateful I had oils in my first aid kit. I hate to think what would have happened if I didn’t have my oil first aid kit. I was alone in the house and we live in a very rural area. With the rate of bleeding was doing, I knew I was on my own to get things under control. It would take too long to get help. I couldn't drive myself to the hospital and keep pressure on the wound at the same time.

In the Essential 7 Kit, there are 2 oils that I would reach for to stop bleeding. PanAway would be my first choice because it has helichrysum in it. The other oil that is helpful to stop bleeding is lemon. Peace & Calming is also one of the oils in the Essential 7 Kit. Peace & Calming is a MUST in most any emergency. It helps you calm down so you can deal with whatever trauma is going on.

I have had MANY experiences with my essential oil first aid kit. I also carry a mini first aid kit in my purse. It is always with me wherever I go.

The oils of the Essential 7 Kit are great for first aid but there are also lots of other oils you can use.

I am SUPER excited about the August Promotion with Young Living Essential Oils. It’s a FREE Essential 7 Kit.
I know, you have heard me say it many times, but the Essential 7 Kit is a great group of oils to have in your first aid kit. I can’t express enough how important a well-stocked first aid kit can be. Medicinal grade essential oils are powerful weapons in all kinds of emergencies.

Abundance oil is my favorite of all Young Living’s essential oils. I love lots of other oils but Abundance oil is the one that started my essential oil journey. Abundance oil was introduced to me at a time when I was hopelessly depressed. I was having suicidal feelings but I had decided that I would never be able to go through with suicide because of all the damage that is done to those left behind.

My mother had received her Young Living Essential Oils order which contained Essential 7 Kit and a bottle of the essential oil blend Abundance. She knew I was seriously depressed so she brought the oils over for me to try. Joy is the oil she thought needed but I was drawn to Abundance oil. I put the Abundance on and within minutes my mood was lifted up so much I was giggling and dancing around the house. My son Brandon, who was still living with us at that time, came home and saw the way I was acting. He just stared at me for a few minutes, then asked, “Are you ON SOMETHING?”

And so began my love affair with Young Living’s therapeutic grade essential oils.

I had used essential oils in the past but NEVER had any positive effects. What I had been using before was perfume grade essential oils. No life in them and no health benefits.

I believe the reason this oil is the one I needed at the time is because Abundance is an oil that relates to attracting abundance. It also seems to help depression that is related to money issues. At the time we were going through terrible financial problems and were close to losing everything.

I was hopelessly depressed and would never consider taking antidepressants because of what I had already learned about natural health and what I have seen happen to others on those drugs.

As I write this story, which I have told many times, I still get tears in my eyes. It is THE REASON I became a distributor with Young Living Essential Oils. I had such a powerful experience with essential oils, I immediately started thinking how many people could benefit from having these marvels of creation. At the time I was a distributor for another company that sold herbal supplements but I was failing miserably. I had wanted to have a way to supplement our income and hopefully provide a means to help our financial situation.

One thing I learned is that essential oils are the life blood of the plant. When herbs are cut & dehydrated for therapeutic use, they can lose as much as 90% of the healing nutrients as well as the vast majority of the vital oxygen molecules. The reason is because they lose most of the essential oil which is actually the part that is responsible for healing properties.

Therapeutic grade essential oils, when properly distilled, are so highly concentrated, most of them are at least 50 – 100 times more therapeutically potent than the herbs or plants they came from.

Besides all of that, Abundance oil just smells great. It has cinnamon, patchouli, frankincense, myrrh, orange and clove. If you haven’t tried it, give it a try.

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.

One time I found a bunch of money blowing around in the wind. In the process of picking it up, I saw a wallet. It had the name and address of the person who lost it.

Abundance oil blend is my favorite oil of all Young Living’s oils. Abundance oil blend is the reason I am a distributor with Young Living Essential Oils.

Abundance oil lifted me out of severe depression within minutes of applying it. It is an oil blend that seems to help when depression is related to money issues, which seems to be something a lot of people are dealing with these days because of the economy the way it is.

Not only do I love Abundance oil blend for its mood uplifting properties, but I love the way Abundance oil blend attracts abundance. I have seen it over and over in my life and especially in my business.

Abundance oil is one that we really need, especially in the times we are living in with the economic situation the way it is.

If you are familiar with the Law of Attraction, you know that what you focus on you attract more of. When you worry and stress over the economy, you hinder the abundant energy you have in your body. That makes it almost impossible to build a business or attract any kind of abundance.

I have seen the Law of Attraction working from both sides. I see it today in my prosperous business but years ago, I went through a time where I was desperate to generate enough income to just make ends meet. That is actually the cause of the severe depression I was having before someone who knew I was depressed, cared enough to share Abundance oil with me.

That was a time of struggle financially. I was in a sales job with a home cleaning system where I had to visit people’s home to demonstrate the cleaner and only got paid when I sold one. It seemed as though I couldn’t sell one if my life depended on it. Actually, my financial life did depend on it.

The owner of the company came with me on some presentations to see what I was doing wrong. When we were leaving a home presentation, she said, “I don’t understand why you aren’t selling anything, you are really good!”

I didn’t understand the Law of Attraction back than but I do today. The reason I couldn’t make any sales is because I had an energy vibration of desperation. I desperately needed a sale.

I was radiating that desperate energy. People could feel it. They didn’t realize it and I didn’t realize I was affecting people with my desperate energy.

Here is another example – Around that same time my husband and I were traveling and doing art shows for our jewelry designs. Mark, my husband, made flameworked glass beads and I did copper enamel designs. We put them together with gemstones and made beautiful works of wearable art.

We won several best of show awards with our designs and even drew crowds with Mark demonstrating glass bead making over a flame, but making enough money to create a living was a real struggle. We would often just cover show expenses. People would come in and rave about how beautiful our designs were and then just leave.

Oh how I wish I had known about Abundance oil back then! Well, today I am so very grateful for Abundance oil blend. It is, hands down, my favorite oil. I use it EVERY DAY. By using Abundance oil, I become like a magnet attracting abundance. I would never consider touching anything business related without using Abundance oil first.

Abundance is a blend that raises your energetic vibration to attract greater prosperity into your life. It is an oil blend that is “created to enhance the frequency of the harmonic magnetic energy field that surrounds us. This higher frequency creates the “law of attraction,” a harmonic magnetic energy field around oneself.

Use Abundance oil blend first thing in the morning. Put 2 or 3 drops in your hands

One time I found a bunch of money blowing around in the wind. In the process of picking it up, I saw a wallet. It had the name and address of the person who lost it. I put all the money back in the wallet and took it to him. I knocked on his door and told him I found his wallet. He was so thrilled to get his credit cards and drivers license, he gave me all the money inside as a reward.

1. Mood uplifting. I really love the mood uplifting oils. Frankincense is very powerful this way. I generally wear it like a perfume.

2. Frankincense is great for skin care – Frankincense promotes skin regeneration, and is an excellent choice for preventing or reducing wrinkles when used topically. I personally use it neat, but some prefer to dilute it with a carrier oil.

3. Relieve Skin Itching – Apply a couple drops of Frankincense to the area of itching.

4. Relieve Pain - Rub on sore joints to relieve arthritis pain and pain from injuries.

5. Disinfect Cuts and Scrapes – Apply a drop of Frankincense to wounds to clean and disinfect.

6. Remove Warts – Apply topically to the wart. Apply a couple times a day until the wart is gone. May take a couple weeks.

7. Reduce Inflammation - Put a few drops in capsule or apply topically.

8. Strengthen Immune System – Apply to bottom of feet or take in capsule. Never take oils internally unless you are using Young Living Oils. Many oils are adulterated even though labeled 100% PURE.

Experiences with Frankincense

Chronic Itch
I had an itch on my leg that I just couldn't get rid of. I had it for 2 or 3 years. It was so bad I scratched all the time and it formed a callous. I tried everything I could think of. One night I was using Frankincense before bed and decided to give it a try. I applied one drop to the itch. It didn't itch for a week afterward. So, I applied another drop...now the callous is gone, skin is normal, and if I feel an itch coming on (very infrequent now) I just apply a drop of Frankincense. -- Vanessa

Warts I have suffered with more than thirteen warts, some as big as peas, on my hands for several years. I have tried every product on the market, as well as all the home remedies I heard about, but I had no luck getting rid of them. After receiving my Young Living Essential Oils, I decided to experiment with them. I started rubbing some Spruce Oil and Frankincense Oil on them once or twice a day. After two weeks all my warts were completely gone. -- Judy

Planters Warts I have had two planter warts for ten years on my feet, each the size of a dime. I tried a prescription medicine on them twice, with no success and much pain as it killed the skin around the entire area. After two months of applying Frankincense, they have reduce to half the size, without the pain. -- Garry

I had an 8 inch surgical incision. The day the staples came out the oils went on! Twice daily, I applied Frankincense, Lavender, Helichrysum, Gentle Baby, Melrose, and Hyssop. At the time we did not have Elemi but I would have added that as well. At night before I went to sleep after applying my oils I put the highest IU vitamin E oil I could find at the health food store. Then, I put a piece of cotton material over it and secured it with adhesive tape so the vitamin E oil would soak in. I did this treatment faithfully for about 2 or 2 1/2 months and today I have absolutely no scar what so ever!!! Thank you God for Gary Young and our precious sacred oils!!! -- Julie ]]>

Let me tell you an experience I had a couple years ago that emphasized this for me.

One day I was washing windows while I was home alone. Yea, I know. Probably not the best idea to be working with glass when I am alone in the house, especially when I live out in the sticks.

Anyway, the windows were the kind of storm windows that tip down and can be lifted off the track. For some reason I got careless and let go of the windowpane as it slid off the track. The whole thing broke over my head. Glass shattered everywhere. When I looked down at my arm, I saw a piece of glass sticking out of my arm. It was only about a quarter of an inch sticking out so I didn't think anything of it so I pulled it out. Well, that shard of glass turned out to be over 2 inches long. When I pulled out the glass, the blood started spraying everywhere. It wasn't long before it looked like a crime scene where someone had been slaughtered.

I panicked and ran to my oil shelf. I was so SCARED! My heart was pounding which was causing me to bleed more profusely. I knew I had to get myself calmed down if I was to stop the blood flow. I grabbed the Peace & Calming and with one hand trying to add pressure to the wound and the other I opened the bottle. I dumped too much on my chest, just to get some on and be able to smell it. Within seconds I could feel myself calming down.

Once I got the Peace & Calming on my body, I needed an oil that would help stop the blood flow. I knew helichrysum oil was the best oil for stopping bleeding but I was out of that one so reached for AromaLife, an oil blend with helichrysum in it. I had to remove the pressure from the wound to get the AromaLife on it. When removed the pressure, the blood was still gushing. I must have nicked a small vein. I opened the bottle of AromaLife and dropped several drops on the wound and on a cloth I was trying to use to add pressure.

By this time I tried to call my husband but he was fishing and had no cell signal so I called my brother Brian. Brian is a fireman and is trained in emergency medical services. He came to help and assess the situation but by the time he got to my house I had the bleeding stopped, thanks to Peace & Calming and AromaLife. Brian insisted I come with him and stay at his house that afternoon so he could monitor me since I had lost so much blood and I refused to go to the hospital. I mean, what is the point? I got the bleeding stopped and Brian dressed the wound for me.

I am so very grateful I had oils in my first aid kit. I hate to think what would have happened if I didn’t have my oil first aid kit. I was alone in the house and we live in a very rural area. With the rate of bleeding was doing, I knew I was on my own to get things under control. It would take too long to get help. I couldn't drive myself to the hospital and keep pressure on the wound at the same time.

In the Essential 7 Kit, there are 2 oils that I would reach for to stop bleeding. PanAway would be my first choice because it has helichrysum in it. The other oil that is helpful to stop bleeding is lemon. Peace & Calming is also one of the oils in the Essential 7 Kit. Peace & Calming is a MUST in most any emergency. It helps you calm down so you can deal with whatever trauma is going on.

I have had MANY experiences with my essential oil first aid kit. I also carry a mini first aid kit in my purse. It is always with me wherever I go.

The oils of the Essential 7 Kit are great for first aid but there are also lots of other oils you can use.

I am SUPER excited about the August Promotion with Young Living Essential Oils. It’s a FREE Essential 7 Kit.
I know, you have heard me say it many times, but the Essential 7 Kit is a great group of oils to have in your first aid kit. I can’t express enough how important a well-stocked first aid kit can be. Medicinal grade essential oils are powerful weapons in all kinds of emergencies.

Abundance oil is my favorite of all Young Living’s essential oils. I love lots of other oils but Abundance oil is the one that started my essential oil journey. Abundance oil was introduced to me at a time when I was hopelessly depressed. I was having suicidal feelings but I had decided that I would never be able to go through with suicide because of all the damage that is done to those left behind.

My mother had received her Young Living Essential Oils order which contained Essential 7 Kit and a bottle of the essential oil blend Abundance. She knew I was seriously depressed so she brought the oils over for me to try. Joy is the oil she thought needed but I was drawn to Abundance oil. I put the Abundance on and within minutes my mood was lifted up so much I was giggling and dancing around the house. My son Brandon, who was still living with us at that time, came home and saw the way I was acting. He just stared at me for a few minutes, then asked, “Are you ON SOMETHING?”

And so began my love affair with Young Living’s therapeutic grade essential oils.

I had used essential oils in the past but NEVER had any positive effects. What I had been using before was perfume grade essential oils. No life in them and no health benefits.

I believe the reason this oil is the one I needed at the time is because Abundance is an oil that relates to attracting abundance. It also seems to help depression that is related to money issues. At the time we were going through terrible financial problems and were close to losing everything.

I was hopelessly depressed and would never consider taking antidepressants because of what I had already learned about natural health and what I have seen happen to others on those drugs.

As I write this story, which I have told many times, I still get tears in my eyes. It is THE REASON I became a distributor with Young Living Essential Oils. I had such a powerful experience with essential oils, I immediately started thinking how many people could benefit from having these marvels of creation. At the time I was a distributor for another company that sold herbal supplements but I was failing miserably. I had wanted to have a way to supplement our income and hopefully provide a means to help our financial situation.

One thing I learned is that essential oils are the life blood of the plant. When herbs are cut & dehydrated for therapeutic use, they can lose as much as 90% of the healing nutrients as well as the vast majority of the vital oxygen molecules. The reason is because they lose most of the essential oil which is actually the part that is responsible for healing properties.

Therapeutic grade essential oils, when properly distilled, are so highly concentrated, most of them are at least 50 – 100 times more therapeutically potent than the herbs or plants they came from.

Besides all of that, Abundance oil just smells great. It has cinnamon, patchouli, frankincense, myrrh, orange and clove. If you haven’t tried it, give it a try.

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.

If you are a Young Living Distributor, you should be wearing Abundance oil everywhere. It is a great conversation starter. Abundance oil smells wonderful and MANY people ask me what that wonderful smell is. That is an automatic opening to share a drop of Abundance oil and give your business card.

At Young Living headquarters they added one bottle Abundance oil to every 5 gallon bucket of paint when painting the offices. They also put drops of oil on the phones in the early days.

Abundance oil is wonderful used with EFT. An example of an EFT session below on attracting abundance.

That is actually the cause of the severe depression I was having before someone who knew I was depressed, cared enough to share Abundance oil with me.

That was a time of struggle financially. I was in a sales job with a home cleaning system where I had to visit people’s home to demonstrate the cleaner and only got paid when I sold one. It seemed as though I couldn’t sell one if my life depended on it. Actually, my financial life did depend on it.

The owner of the company came with me on some presentations to see what I was doing wrong. When we were leaving a home presentation, she said, “I don’t understand why you aren’t selling anything, you are really good!”

I didn’t understand the Law of Attraction back than but I do today. The reason I couldn’t make any sales is because I had an energy vibration of desperation. I desperately needed a sale.

I was radiating that desperate energy. People could feel it. They didn’t realize it and I didn’t realize I was affecting people with my desperate energy.

Here is another example – Around that same time my husband and I were traveling and doing art shows for our jewelry designs. Mark, my husband, made flameworked glass beads and I did copper enamel designs. We put them together with gemstones and made beautiful works of wearable art.

We won several best of show awards with our designs and even drew crowds with Mark demonstrating glass bead making over a flame, but making enough money to create a living was a real struggle. We would often just cover show expenses. People would come in and rave about how beautiful our designs were and then just leave.

Oh how I wish I had known about Abundance oil back then! Well, today I am so very grateful for Abundance oil blend. It is, hands down, my favorite oil. I use it EVERY DAY. By using Abundance oil, I become like a magnet attracting abundance. I would never consider touching anything business related without using Abundance oil first.

Abundance is a blend that raises your energetic vibration to attract greater prosperity into your life. It is an oil blend that is “created to enhance the frequency of the harmonic magnetic energy field that surrounds us. This higher frequency creates the “law of attraction,” a harmonic magnetic energy field around oneself.

One time I found a bunch of money blowing around in the wind. In the process of picking it up, I saw a wallet. It had the name and address of the person who lost it. I put all the money back in the wallet and took it to him. I knocked on his door and told him I found his wallet. He was so thrilled to get his credit cards and drivers license, he gave me all the money inside as a reward.

If you are a Young Living Distributor, you should be wearing Abundance oil everywhere. It is a great conversation starter. Abundance oil smells wonderful and MANY people ask me what that wonderful smell is. That is an automatic opening to share a drop of Abundance oil and give your business card.

At Young Living headquarters they added one bottle Abundance oil to every 5 gallon bucket of paint when painting the offices. They also put drops of oil on the phones in the early days.

You get the idea. In these economic times Abundance oil can be a big help in, not only surviving but THRIVING financially.

1. Mood uplifting. I really love the mood uplifting oils. Frankincense is very powerful this way. I generally wear it like a perfume.

2. Frankincense is great for skin care – Frankincense promotes skin regeneration, and is an excellent choice for preventing or reducing wrinkles when used topically. I personally use it neat, but some prefer to dilute it with a carrier oil.

3. Relieve Skin Itching – Apply a couple drops of Frankincense to the area of itching.

4. Relieve Pain - Rub on sore joints to relieve arthritis pain and pain from injuries.

5. Disinfect Cuts and Scrapes – Apply a drop of Frankincense to wounds to clean and disinfect.

6. Remove Warts – Apply topically to the wart. Apply a couple times a day until the wart is gone. May take a couple weeks.

7. Reduce Inflammation - Put a few drops in capsule or apply topically.

8. Strengthen Immune System – Apply to bottom of feet or take in capsule. Never take oils internally unless you are using Young Living Oils. Many oils are adulterated even though labeled 100% PURE.

Experiences with Frankincense

Chronic Itch
I had an itch on my leg that I just couldn't get rid of. I had it for 2 or 3 years. It was so bad I scratched all the time and it formed a callous. I tried everything I could think of. One night I was using Frankincense before bed and decided to give it a try. I applied one drop to the itch. It didn't itch for a week afterward. So, I applied another drop...now the callous is gone, skin is normal, and if I feel an itch coming on (very infrequent now) I just apply a drop of Frankincense. -- Vanessa

Warts I have suffered with more than thirteen warts, some as big as peas, on my hands for several years. I have tried every product on the market, as well as all the home remedies I heard about, but I had no luck getting rid of them. After receiving my Young Living Essential Oils, I decided to experiment with them. I started rubbing some Spruce Oil and Frankincense Oil on them once or twice a day. After two weeks all my warts were completely gone. -- Judy

Planters Warts I have had two planter warts for ten years on my feet, each the size of a dime. I tried a prescription medicine on them twice, with no success and much pain as it killed the skin around the entire area. After two months of applying Frankincense, they have reduce to half the size, without the pain. -- Garry

I had an 8 inch surgical incision. The day the staples came out the oils went on! Twice daily, I applied Frankincense, Lavender, Helichrysum, Gentle Baby, Melrose, and Hyssop. At the time we did not have Elemi but I would have added that as well. At night before I went to sleep after applying my oils I put the highest IU vitamin E oil I could find at the health food store. Then, I put a piece of cotton material over it and secured it with adhesive tape so the vitamin E oil would soak in. I did this treatment faithfully for about 2 or 2 1/2 months and today I have absolutely no scar what so ever!!! Thank you God for Gary Young and our precious sacred oils!!! -- Julie ]]>

I wanted to share a few of my favorite ways to use Frankincense oil. Actually, there are a lot more ways than 8 for using Frankincense.

Let me tell you an experience I had a couple years ago that emphasized this for me.

One day I was washing windows while I was home alone. Yea, I know. Probably not the best idea to be working with glass when I am alone in the house, especially when I live out in the sticks.

Anyway, the windows were the kind of storm windows that tip down and can be lifted off the track. For some reason I got careless and let go of the windowpane as it slid off the track. The whole thing broke over my head. Glass shattered everywhere. When I looked down at my arm, I saw a piece of glass sticking out of my arm. It was only about a quarter of an inch sticking out so I didn't think anything of it so I pulled it out. Well, that shard of glass turned out to be over 2 inches long. When I pulled out the glass, the blood started spraying everywhere. It wasn't long before it looked like a crime scene where someone had been slaughtered.

I panicked and ran to my oil shelf. I was so SCARED! My heart was pounding which was causing me to bleed more profusely. I knew I had to get myself calmed down if I was to stop the blood flow. I grabbed the Peace & Calming and with one hand trying to add pressure to the wound and the other I opened the bottle. I dumped too much on my chest, just to get some on and be able to smell it. Within seconds I could feel myself calming down.

Once I got the Peace & Calming on my body, I needed an oil that would help stop the blood flow. I knew helichrysum oil was the best oil for stopping bleeding but I was out of that one so reached for AromaLife, an oil blend with helichrysum in it. I had to remove the pressure from the wound to get the AromaLife on it. When removed the pressure, the blood was still gushing. I must have nicked a small vein. I opened the bottle of AromaLife and dropped several drops on the wound and on a cloth I was trying to use to add pressure.

By this time I tried to call my husband but he was fishing and had no cell signal so I called my brother Brian. Brian is a fireman and is trained in emergency medical services. He came to help and assess the situation but by the time he got to my house I had the bleeding stopped, thanks to Peace & Calming and AromaLife. Brian insisted I come with him and stay at his house that afternoon so he could monitor me since I had lost so much blood and I refused to go to the hospital. I mean, what is the point? I got the bleeding stopped and Brian dressed the wound for me.

I am so very grateful I had oils in my first aid kit. I hate to think what would have happened if I didn’t have my oil first aid kit. I was alone in the house and we live in a very rural area. With the rate of bleeding was doing, I knew I was on my own to get things under control. It would take too long to get help. I couldn't drive myself to the hospital and keep pressure on the wound at the same time.

In the Essential 7 Kit, there are 2 oils that I would reach for to stop bleeding. PanAway would be my first choice because it has helichrysum in it. The other oil that is helpful to stop bleeding is lemon. Peace & Calming is also one of the oils in the Essential 7 Kit. Peace & Calming is a MUST in most any emergency. It helps you calm down so you can deal with whatever trauma is going on.

I have had MANY experiences with my essential oil first aid kit. I also carry a mini first aid kit in my purse. It is always with me wherever I go.

The oils of the Essential 7 Kit are great for first aid but there are also lots of other oils you can use.

I am SUPER excited about the August Promotion with Young Living Essential Oils. It’s a FREE Essential 7 Kit.
I know, you have heard me say it many times, but the Essential 7 Kit is a great group of oils to have in your first aid kit. I can’t express enough how important a well-stocked first aid kit can be. Medicinal grade essential oils are powerful weapons in all kinds of emergencies.
Let me tell you an experience I had a couple years ago that emphasized this for me.

Abundance oil is my favorite of all Young Living’s essential oils. I love lots of other oils but Abundance oil is the one that started my essential oil journey. Abundance oil was introduced to me at a time when I was hopelessly depressed. I was having suicidal feelings but I had decided that I would never be able to go through with suicide because of all the damage that is done to those left behind.

My mother had received her Young Living Essential Oils order which contained Essential 7 Kit and a bottle of the essential oil blend Abundance. She knew I was seriously depressed so she brought the oils over for me to try. Joy is the oil she thought needed but I was drawn to Abundance oil. I put the Abundance on and within minutes my mood was lifted up so much I was giggling and dancing around the house. My son Brandon, who was still living with us at that time, came home and saw the way I was acting. He just stared at me for a few minutes, then asked, “Are you ON SOMETHING?”

And so began my love affair with Young Living’s therapeutic grade essential oils.

I had used essential oils in the past but NEVER had any positive effects. What I had been using before was perfume grade essential oils. No life in them and no health benefits.

I believe the reason this oil is the one I needed at the time is because Abundance is an oil that relates to attracting abundance. It also seems to help depression that is related to money issues. At the time we were going through terrible financial problems and were close to losing everything.

I was hopelessly depressed and would never consider taking antidepressants because of what I had already learned about natural health and what I have seen happen to others on those drugs.

As I write this story, which I have told many times, I still get tears in my eyes. It is THE REASON I became a distributor with Young Living Essential Oils. I had such a powerful experience with essential oils, I immediately started thinking how many people could benefit from having these marvels of creation. At the time I was a distributor for another company that sold herbal supplements but I was failing miserably. I had wanted to have a way to supplement our income and hopefully provide a means to help our financial situation.

One thing I learned is that essential oils are the life blood of the plant. When herbs are cut & dehydrated for therapeutic use, they can lose as much as 90% of the healing nutrients as well as the vast majority of the vital oxygen molecules. The reason is because they lose most of the essential oil which is actually the part that is responsible for healing properties.

Therapeutic grade essential oils, when properly distilled, are so highly concentrated, most of them are at least 50 – 100 times more therapeutically potent than the herbs or plants they came from.

Besides all of that, Abundance oil just smells great. It has cinnamon, patchouli, frankincense, myrrh, orange and clove. If you haven’t tried it, give it a try.

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.

Abundance oil lifted me out of severe depression within minutes of applying it. It is an oil blend that seems to help when depression is related to money issues, which seems to be something a lot of people are dealing with these days because of the economy the way it is.

Not only do I love Abundance oil blend for its mood uplifting properties, but I love the way Abundance oil blend attracts abundance. I have seen it over and over in my life and especially in my business.

Abundance oil is one that we really need, especially in the times we are living in with the economic situation the way it is.

If you are familiar with the Law of Attraction, you know that what you focus on you attract more of. When you worry and stress over the economy, you hinder the abundant energy you have in your body. That makes it almost impossible to build a business or attract any kind of abundance.

I have seen the Law of Attraction working from both sides. I see it today in my prosperous business but years ago, I went through a time where I was desperate to generate enough income to just make ends meet. That is actually the cause of the severe depression I was having before someone who knew I was depressed, cared enough to share Abundance oil with me.

That was a time of struggle financially. I was in a sales job with a home cleaning system where I had to visit people’s home to demonstrate the cleaner and only got paid when I sold one.

The owner of the company came with me on some presentations to see what I was doing wrong. When we were leaving a home presentation, she said, “I don’t understand why you aren’t selling anything, you are really good!”

I didn’t understand the Law of Attraction back than but I do today. The reason I couldn’t make any sales is because I had an energy vibration of desperation. I desperately needed a sale.

I was radiating that desperate energy. People could feel it. They didn’t realize it and I didn’t realize I was affecting people with my desperate energy.

Here is another example – Around that same time my husband and I were traveling and doing art shows for our jewelry designs. Mark, my husband, made flameworked glass beads and I did copper enamel designs. We put them together with gemstones and made beautiful works of wearable art.

We won several best of show awards with our designs and even drew crowds with Mark demonstrating glass bead making over a flame, but making enough money to create a living was a real struggle. We would often just cover show expenses. People would come in and rave about how beautiful our designs were and then just leave.

Oh how I wish I had known about Abundance oil back then! Well, today I am so very grateful for Abundance oil blend. It is, hands down, my favorite oil. I use it EVERY DAY.

One time I found a bunch of money blowing around in the wind. In the process of picking it up, I saw a wallet. It had the name and address of the person who lost it. I put all the money back in the wallet and took it to him. I knocked on his door and told him I found his wallet. He was so thrilled to get his credit cards and drivers license, he gave me all the money inside as a reward.

One time I found a bunch of money blowing around in the wind. In the process of picking it up, I saw a wallet. It had the name and address of the person who lost it. I put all the money back in the wallet and took it to him. I knocked on his door and told him I found his wallet. He was so thrilled to get his credit cards and drivers license, he gave me all the money inside as a reward.

If you are a Young Living Distributor, you should be wearing Abundance oil everywhere. It is a great conversation starter. Abundance oil smells wonderful and MANY people ask me what that wonderful smell is. That is an automatic opening to share a drop of Abundance oil and give your business card.

At Young Living headquarters they added one bottle Abundance oil to every 5 gallon bucket of paint when painting the offices. They also put drops of oil on the phones in the early days.

Abundance oil is wonderful used with EFT. An example of an EFT session below on attracting abundance.

You get the idea. In these economic times Abundance oil can be a big help in, not only surviving but THRIVING financially.

1. Mood uplifting. I really love the mood uplifting oils. Frankincense is very powerful this way. I generally wear it like a perfume.

2. Frankincense is great for skin care – Frankincense promotes skin regeneration, and is an excellent choice for preventing or reducing wrinkles when used topically. I personally use it neat, but some prefer to dilute it with a carrier oil.

3. Relieve Skin Itching – Apply a couple drops of Frankincense to the area of itching.

4. Relieve Pain - Rub on sore joints to relieve arthritis pain and pain from injuries.

5. Disinfect Cuts and Scrapes – Apply a drop of Frankincense to wounds to clean and disinfect.

6. Remove Warts – Apply topically to the wart. Apply a couple times a day until the wart is gone. May take a couple weeks.

7. Reduce Inflammation - Put a few drops in capsule or apply topically.

8. Strengthen Immune System – Apply to bottom of feet or take in capsule. Never take oils internally unless you are using Young Living Oils. Many oils are adulterated even though labeled 100% PURE.

Experiences with Frankincense

Chronic Itch
I had an itch on my leg that I just couldn't get rid of. I had it for 2 or 3 years. It was so bad I scratched all the time and it formed a callous. I tried everything I could think of. One night I was using Frankincense before bed and decided to give it a try. I applied one drop to the itch. It didn't itch for a week afterward. So, I applied another drop...now the callous is gone, skin is normal, and if I feel an itch coming on (very infrequent now) I just apply a drop of Frankincense. -- Vanessa

Warts I have suffered with more than thirteen warts, some as big as peas, on my hands for several years. I have tried every product on the market, as well as all the home remedies I heard about, but I had no luck getting rid of them. After receiving my Young Living Essential Oils, I decided to experiment with them. I started rubbing some Spruce Oil and Frankincense Oil on them once or twice a day. After two weeks all my warts were completely gone. -- Judy

Planters Warts I have had two planter warts for ten years on my feet, each the size of a dime. I tried a prescription medicine on them twice, with no success and much pain as it killed the skin around the entire area. After two months of applying Frankincense, they have reduce to half the size, without the pain. -- Garry

I had an 8 inch surgical incision. The day the staples came out the oils went on! Twice daily, I applied Frankincense, Lavender, Helichrysum, Gentle Baby, Melrose, and Hyssop. At the time we did not have Elemi but I would have added that as well. At night before I went to sleep after applying my oils I put the highest IU vitamin E oil I could find at the health food store. Then, I put a piece of cotton material over it and secured it with adhesive tape so the vitamin E oil would soak in. I did this treatment faithfully for about 2 or 2 1/2 months and today I have absolutely no scar what so ever!!! Thank you God for Gary Young and our precious sacred oils!!! -- Julie ]]>

Let me tell you an experience I had a couple years ago that emphasized this for me.

One day I was washing windows while I was home alone. Yea, I know. Probably not the best idea to be working with glass when I am alone in the house, especially when I live out in the sticks.

Anyway, the windows were the kind of storm windows that tip down and can be lifted off the track. For some reason I got careless and let go of the windowpane as it slid off the track. The whole thing broke over my head. Glass shattered everywhere. When I looked down at my arm, I saw a piece of glass sticking out of my arm. It was only about a quarter of an inch sticking out so I didn't think anything of it so I pulled it out. Well, that shard of glass turned out to be over 2 inches long. When I pulled out the glass, the blood started spraying everywhere. It wasn't long before it looked like a crime scene where someone had been slaughtered.

I panicked and ran to my oil shelf. I was so SCARED! My heart was pounding which was causing me to bleed more profusely. I knew I had to get myself calmed down if I was to stop the blood flow. I grabbed the Peace & Calming and with one hand trying to add pressure to the wound and the other I opened the bottle. I dumped too much on my chest, just to get some on and be able to smell it. Within seconds I could feel myself calming down.

Once I got the Peace & Calming on my body, I needed an oil that would help stop the blood flow. I knew helichrysum oil was the best oil for stopping bleeding but I was out of that one so reached for AromaLife, an oil blend with helichrysum in it. I had to remove the pressure from the wound to get the AromaLife on it. When removed the pressure, the blood was still gushing. I must have nicked a small vein. I opened the bottle of AromaLife and dropped several drops on the wound and on a cloth I was trying to use to add pressure.

By this time I tried to call my husband but he was fishing and had no cell signal so I called my brother Brian. Brian is a fireman and is trained in emergency medical services. He came to help and assess the situation but by the time he got to my house I had the bleeding stopped, thanks to Peace & Calming and AromaLife. Brian insisted I come with him and stay at his house that afternoon so he could monitor me since I had lost so much blood and I refused to go to the hospital. I mean, what is the point? I got the bleeding stopped and Brian dressed the wound for me.

I am so very grateful I had oils in my first aid kit. I hate to think what would have happened if I didn’t have my oil first aid kit. I was alone in the house and we live in a very rural area. With the rate of bleeding was doing, I knew I was on my own to get things under control. It would take too long to get help. I couldn't drive myself to the hospital and keep pressure on the wound at the same time.

In the Essential 7 Kit, there are 2 oils that I would reach for to stop bleeding. PanAway would be my first choice because it has helichrysum in it. The other oil that is helpful to stop bleeding is lemon. Peace & Calming is also one of the oils in the Essential 7 Kit. Peace & Calming is a MUST in most any emergency. It helps you calm down so you can deal with whatever trauma is going on.

I have had MANY experiences with my essential oil first aid kit. I also carry a mini first aid kit in my purse. It is always with me wherever I go.

The oils of the Essential 7 Kit are great for first aid but there are also lots of other oils you can use.

I am SUPER excited about the August Promotion with Young Living Essential Oils. It’s a FREE Essential 7 Kit.
I know, you have heard me say it many times, but the Essential 7 Kit is a great group of oils to have in your first aid kit. I can’t express enough how important a well-stocked first aid kit can be. Medicinal grade essential oils are powerful weapons in all kinds of emergencies.

Abundance oil is my favorite of all Young Living’s essential oils. I love lots of other oils but Abundance oil is the one that started my essential oil journey. Abundance oil was introduced to me at a time when I was hopelessly depressed. I was having suicidal feelings but I had decided that I would never be able to go through with suicide because of all the damage that is done to those left behind.

My mother had received her Young Living Essential Oils order which contained Essential 7 Kit and a bottle of the essential oil blend Abundance. She knew I was seriously depressed so she brought the oils over for me to try. Joy is the oil she thought needed but I was drawn to Abundance oil. I put the Abundance on and within minutes my mood was lifted up so much I was giggling and dancing around the house. My son Brandon, who was still living with us at that time, came home and saw the way I was acting. He just stared at me for a few minutes, then asked, “Are you ON SOMETHING?”

And so began my love affair with Young Living’s therapeutic grade essential oils.

I had used essential oils in the past but NEVER had any positive effects. What I had been using before was perfume grade essential oils. No life in them and no health benefits.

I believe the reason this oil is the one I needed at the time is because Abundance is an oil that relates to attracting abundance. It also seems to help depression that is related to money issues. At the time we were going through terrible financial problems and were close to losing everything.

I was hopelessly depressed and would never consider taking antidepressants because of what I had already learned about natural health and what I have seen happen to others on those drugs.

As I write this story, which I have told many times, I still get tears in my eyes. It is THE REASON I became a distributor with Young Living Essential Oils. I had such a powerful experience with essential oils, I immediately started thinking how many people could benefit from having these marvels of creation. At the time I was a distributor for another company that sold herbal supplements but I was failing miserably. I had wanted to have a way to supplement our income and hopefully provide a means to help our financial situation.

One thing I learned is that essential oils are the life blood of the plant. When herbs are cut & dehydrated for therapeutic use, they can lose as much as 90% of the healing nutrients as well as the vast majority of the vital oxygen molecules. The reason is because they lose most of the essential oil which is actually the part that is responsible for healing properties.

Therapeutic grade essential oils, when properly distilled, are so highly concentrated, most of them are at least 50 – 100 times more therapeutically potent than the herbs or plants they came from.

Besides all of that, Abundance oil just smells great. It has cinnamon, patchouli, frankincense, myrrh, orange and clove. If you haven’t tried it, give it a try.

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.
