Listen To Your Inner Voice

Better Living, Did You Know, , , , , , , ,

Grand Canyon of Yellowstone“Trust the instinct to the end,
though you can render no reason”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Your mind knows only some things. Your inner voice is your instinct, which knows everything. If you listen to what you know instinctively, it will lead you down the right path.

When I was a child, I was always losing my glasses. I was in a real panic mode looking for my glasses, when I asked my sister if she had seen them. She laughed and said, yes you are wearing them. This got me thinking, How many times are things so obvious, we don’t even realize them? If we started quieting the mind so we could start listening to our inner voice, it would tell us where our glasses are, and even help with bigger problems.

When my Mom says, “I don’t have a good feeling about that”, you listen. My Mom has learned that when the Holy Ghost, or “still small voice,” is prompting her, she listens.

I wouldn’t be here today, if my Mom ignored the promptings she gets. Some people call it their inner voice. Don’t ignore it. When my parents were first married and with my sister, Ramona, they decided to go to Yellowstone Park. My Dad had never been there.

My Great-Grandparents, the Meservy’s, lived in Idaho, near the park. My parents spent the first night visiting my mom’s grandparents. They were going to spend the next night in the park.

After their visit with family, my Dad loaded up the car. Then my Mom had this uneasy feeling about going to Yellowstone. She didn’t know, why, but she listened anyway and, so they stayed an extra night with family.

Later that night, one of the worst earthquakes hit in Yellowstone. A landslide buried the campground killing hundreds of people where they would have been sleeping. I am thankful for a Mom who listens to the Holy Ghost. She is a great example to many people.

Have you ever had the strongest feeling to do something and you ignored the prompting? Maybe you were prompted to talk to someone, give someone money or even write a book.

I love this question. When you see an amazing roller coaster, or the next time you use your Ipod, ask yourself, how many people ignored their inner voice before these thoughts became tangible things?

I think many people are inspired to do amazing wonderful things. Then they ignore their promptings, and as a result, their dreams do not come to fruition.

To prove this point when you see an invention that has made a ton of money, have you ever thought, I had the same idea why didn’t I take it more seriously?

The next thing we need to do is start listening and living up to our full potential.

“Develop the inner vision and the habit of listening to the inner Voice; and you are assured of unshakable Peace and infinite Joy.” Atharva Veda

Melaleuca-Did You know?

Better Living, Essential Oil Information, , , , , , , ,

Melaleuca (Tea Tree)Did you know Melaleuca essential oil has over 92 different compounds and limitless applications? Melaleuca is the oil of energetic boundaries. A natural disinfectant, Melaleuca clears the baggage from the negative energy. It clearly releases codependent and toxic relationships. Melaleuca encourages people to connect with each other in a positive way.

For many centuries, the native Aborigines of Australia used the therapeutic oil of the Melaleuca trees for a wide range of topical and oral applications. They crushed the leaves to use as rubbing mediums and mixed them with clay to form poultices, and even bathed in the water that had collected under the trees. When the white settlers came, they watched and learned how to use the leaves for their own healing purposes.

It was most unfortunate for people in the west that there was no documented evidence of the use of Melaleuca oil. It was to remain confined to Australia, as a bush remedy, for the next 150 years. In 1922, however, an Australian chemist, Arthur Penfold and his team, distilled the oil from the Melaleuca alternifolia, and subsequently published a paper stating that it had a wide-rang of antibacterial and anti-fungal activity.

During the Second World War Melaleuca oil was in such short supply that all the available supplies of oil were used to help stop infections from the unavoidable war wounds, both in soldiers and munitions workers that were helping with the war effort. Soon it was considered necessary that a cheaper, more readily available, alternative should be manufactured to help stop the spread of germs. The once thriving industry went into a steep decline until recently. Over the past few years it has made a huge come back.

Melaleuca is best known for its purifying properties. It can be used to cleanse and purify the skin, nails, and to promote a clear, healthy complexion. Taken internally, Melaleuca enhances immunity when seasonal threats are high, and Melaleuca can be used on surfaces throughout the home to protect against environmental threats. Melaleuca is frequently used on minor skin irritations to soothe the skin, and help it recover quickly. Diffusing Melaleuca will help purify, and freshen the air.

Douglas Fir has a unique chemical composition that’s particularly rich in beta-pinene, contributing to its ability to promote feelings of clear airways. Douglas Fir can also be used to purify the skin and promote a positive mood, also helping with stress, and reducing anxiety. Blending Douglas Fir with citrus oils will create an uplifting environment while freshening the air.

Believe in Yourself

Better Living, Quotes, , , , , , , ,

VictoryA man can be as great as he wants to be.
If you believe in yourself and have courage,
determination, dedication, competitive drive and
if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in
life, and pay the price for the things that are
worthwhile, it can be done”
Vince Lombardi

Whatever I can imagine I can achieve. Whatever I can dream, I can become. For my Heavenly Parents expect nothing more of me than to accomplish anything I believe I can be or do.

How many times have we talked ourselves out of being or doing something great. We will say to ourselves, I am not smart enough, I am too old, too young, somebody has already done and that, I don’t have enough money. The list goes on and on.

In Exodus 3:14 it says, “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I am. Thou hath sent me unto you. When we attach “I Am “statements to things we say, we are using the name of God. When we use positive or negative statements with I AM, we magnify these beliefs. We need to be careful how we use the words I AM. in our everyday lives. Start saying “I am good, I am great and I am happy.”

Starting today, we need to remove all excuses and start believing in ourselves. There is nothing in this world we can’t accomplish, when we believe in ourselves.

We need to remove all “stink-en think-en” from our thoughts, and start saying yes to our potential. If you knew you couldn’t fail, who would you be or what would you do with your life?

Everyday we need to tell ourselves, we are a child of God who loves us, and we love Him. We need to start showing God what a great person he created when He created us.

Our mind is so powerful. It can either create a dam, stopping our progression, or open the flood gates to success. Let’s start believing in ourselves becoming what God knows we can become. Let’s do many remarkable things, as we reach our full potential.

Sage-Did You Know

Better Living, Did You Know, Essential Oil Information, , , , , , , , , ,

SageDid you know sage is the oil of purification? Sage is known for its ability to cleanse energy, and spaces. It also purifies the body, and opens spiritual channels. Sage is a powerful energy cleansing oil. It can send away unwanted or hard to endure energies, and restore harmony, and balance. It plays a role in helping people who have experienced any form of abuse, also feeling a disconnect from their physical body.

Sage (Salvia officinalis) has a herbaceous spicy aroma. The Ancient Greeks and Romans used the leaves of both species as compresses for the treatment of wounds. The oldest reference is a depiction of Salvia fruticosa on a fresco in Crete, which has been dated at about 1400 BC. The name salvia in fact comes from the latin, salvere, meaning to heal. It has been identified for its ability to strengthen the senses, and vital centers of the body.

Sage was used by herbalists externally to treat sprains, swelling, ulcers, and bleeding. Internally, a tea made from sage leaves has had a long history of use to treat sore throats and coughs; often by gargling. It was also used by herbalists for rheumatism, excessive menstrual bleeding, and to dry up a mother’s milk when nursing was stopped. It is helpful for supporting the respiratory, reproductive, and nervous systems. Sage may help in coping with despair and mental fatigue.
