It is of the purest and highest form of answers to our questions.

Did you know that the walls of your home absorb all the frequencies of its inhabitants? They are great listeners and feel everything you do. Your inner world is not as hidden as you think. Your home knows about it. When a guest comes over, on some level, they can experience your emotions by the feel of the house.

What if there is a lot of arguing, fear, or hopelessness in the walls? Trying to get some R&R in all of that sounds impossible.

The home is meant to rejuvenate, not cause more stress. Let’s ensure that the energy of our home is one that uplifts, calms, soothes, nourishes and protects. Just think of the many hours a day you live inside this structure. Treat it like an organism, a house plant. A home needs tending. Rip out the weeds, water it and feed it, love on it. Then the home will radiate life for you.

A very simple way to cleanse the walls of dense energies is to diffuse Lemongrass essential oil all throughout the home. Think of it as a disinfectant for frequencies that act like harmful bacterias to our soul.

Harmony in the Home will create Harmony in your Spirit.

What does Worthiness look like?

The benefits of seeing and owning your infinite value are astonishing. It looks like potential energy gone kinetic!

The main difference between potential and kinetic energy is that one is the energy of what can be and one is the energy of what is. In other words, potential energy is stationary, with stored energy to be released; kinetic energy is energy in motion, actively using energy for movement.

This means your Spirit is in full expression. Your Spirit is in movement, not stationary. When you have high sense of self-worth, your spirit is activated in all it’s glory. All your flavors have matured and there is profound self-awareness. You only do the things that represent you, that match you, that make you shine. You put yourself in situations and relationship that cultivate love and respect.

Self-doubt, questioning, second-guessing, fear of being seen, fear of making a mistake, fear of failing, fear of rejection ~ these energies no longer dominate your daily life experience. Sure, they happen once in a while because we are humans with egos. They just don’t need to be the main character in your life story.

Worthiness looks like the light of your soul shining brightly and giving warmth to hardened hearts. Gratitude, contentment, connection, beauty, inspiration are the predominant energies that color your world.

That almost sounds like a drama free life! There is ease and expansion that happens as worthiness rises. Less bumps in the road. Obstacles and breaking upper limits still happen and can get messy. But it’s the good kind of mess, ones that are constructive and healing. Much of the struggles, setbacks and challenges we experience often are generated by shame, not worthiness. Pick the right kind of battles. Battles rooted in shame damage and destroy, battles rooted in worthiness build the stage for your soul to shine.

FOMO: “Fear of Missing Out”

It happens to us all. It’s the cause of many poor decisions. The reason why we have too much on our plate. It’s contributes to energetic obesity and chronic anxiety.

The root of this fear is the feeling that “I am not enough,” just by myself. ”I need to add to my deficiencies, and all these things are going to fill up the emptiness inside.”

There is a means of eliminating FOMO.

Would you like to know?

It’s high sense of self-worth. It’s trusting that you have everything you need, that you have what it takes, that you are completely equipped to handle all that life serves up for you. It’s knowing what’s right for you, and knowing what’s wrong for you. And that comes with a strong sense of who you are and your values. No need to prostitute your energy in places that don’t see your worth. Go where you are valued, respected, heard and understood. Go where it’s soothing to the soul and comforting to your heart. There is a right place, right time, right person, right action. When you engage in what’s right....you aren’t missing out on anything.

This is the month we talk about how worthy you are. And there is no better essential oil than Magnolia to show us this truth. She calms the Earth element when it is fraught with worries on not being good enough. She reassures us that we matter and stabilizes our identity. Just as the ground beneath us provides a foundation to make us feel grounded and secure, Magnolia strengthens the foundation of our identity and self worth.

In turn, we feel safe to be ourselves, safe to walk in the light of our truth. Rejection and criticism are not as crippling, and also expected. There is firmness in our Qi, not easily scattered or depleted.

The comfort of Magnolia allows us to breath deeply. Everything is going to be ok because you are nurtured and given all provisions necessary to live a magnificent life. We have many resources available to us, we just lack the ability to recognize them. As you use Magnolia, you will begin to see all that sits in front of you, and take advantage of the gifts that are present within and all around. Seize the days with unconditional love towards yourself.

Note: Use clearing essential oils such as Tea Tree or Lemongrass on bottoms of feet first before using Magnolia on inside of wrist creases and heart space. You will be able to activate more worthiness with Magnolia after releasing shame.

If you’re listening to this, chances are you are probably different than most people in your life. You may even be the black sheep of your family. This episode is all the reassurance and permission you need to be fully and authentically you!

Have you ever done affirmations and found them ineffective? You've probably been told the proper way to do them is to affirm what you want in the present moment as if it already exists. For example, you might say, I am so happy and grateful now that I have my dream job. But what if you can't stop thinking about how you don't yet have it and truly don't believe it is possible or that you are worthy? If our affirmations contradicts what we believe about ourselves we end up rejecting them. I've discovered a MUCH better way. This technique yields far better results so tune in to this episode to learn how!

In this episode I am joined by the wonderful Dr. Mariza Snyder and we chat all about hormones as we dive in to her book The Essential Oils Menopause Solution. We cover the power of small daily habits, how to avoid fatigue, the best time of the day to work out, diet tips and SO MUCH more. You do not want to miss out on this episode.

In this episode I share my newest protocol to help you take the seed of something you desire and guide it to sprout and turn into a full-fledged tree.

*Disclaimer, I am only speaking on the use of substitutions for my work.

I know you're an overachiever. Why? Because I am an overachiever and you're probably drawn to me for that reason. I have high expectations and want things changed right away. I used to struggled with follow through and completion in my past. I start something new, it is really fun, and then I get bored. Sound familiar? In this episode I share with you the power of focusing on one thing at a time and how it has helped me in my life.

Alas, the world is beginning to reopen again! Despite the excitement and desire to reconnect, there is still a spirit of hesitation, fear and uncertainty. In this episode I walk you through how to let your guard down and I share a blend of essential oils to support you in this process.
