Off the Hizzy Cleaning Option!!!

So for most of you probably guessed that I am talking about cleaning with doTERRA's essential oils as the other method of cleaning that would be an awesome alternative to the chemical cleaning of less than par. :)  Personally, cleaning with the oils literally makes cleaning SOOO MUCH FUN for me.  I love that they are such powerful cleaners AND we get therapeutic benefits when we clean with them in our home.  I literally jump to start my cleaning now that I am using oils to clean.

I wanted to do a little cat-walk with the oils and highlight their effective and very fantastic qualities.  These are just a few of the oils that I chose to highlight.  Most ALL of the oils have cleaning properties.  I sourced my info from "MODERN ESSENTIALS" book, that I normally call the Bible for essential oils.  It really is a must have book.  

LEMON—antiviral, antiseptic, uplifting, antifungal, antioxidant, astringent, invigorating

WILD ORANGE—antiseptic antifungal, antibacterial, disinfectant, antidepressant

 PURIFY— antiseptic, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, smells clean  

 

MELALEUCA—antibacterial, antifungal, anti-infectious, a strong antiseptic, antioxidant, immune stimulant, insecticidal

PEPPERMINT—antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral, invigorating, anticarcinogenic

ONGUARD (contains: Wild Orange, Clove Bud, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus radiata, Rosemary)—antibacterial, antiseptic, antifungal, antiviral

LAVENDER--antifungal, antihistamine, anti-infectious, antimicrobial, antiseptic, antitoxic

These oils are so powerful that when we clean with them, they need to be stored in glass spray bottles, or containers.   I get my glass spray bottles from aromatools.com.  They are a couple of dollars and very worth the money.  I personally have a bottle for a glass cleaner, dust mites, bathroom cleaner, counter cleaner, and I would say that that is the bare basics if that were all that you would order, about 4 bottles.  It is always fun though to have a spare bottle to make a new kind of cleaner trying out new oils.  I have been enjoying the 8oz or 16oz size of amber bottle.  The 32oz is a little heavy when full, so I would end up only filling it up half way.   You have to order the spray nozzle separate from the bottle and in total they are still under $2 a piece.  If you want to make sure that you order exactly what you want I would order over the phone.  Their contact info is below.

If you are local I did buy extra bottles when I went to aromatools if you would like to save shipping.

Cleaning With Essential Oils Series!!!!!

WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!  Is all that I can say and think when I realize how easy and wonderful it is that we can all get the nasty chemical cleaners out of our homes, for good!  Here are a few tidbits that will suggest that natural cleaners and cleaning with doTERRA essential oils is the way to go.

WHY TO SAY "NO" TO CHEMICAL 

CLEANING METHODS OF THE PAST:

1. In 2000, cleaning products were responsible for nearly 10% of all toxic exposures reported to U.S. Poison Control Centers, accounting for 206,636 calls.
1. Of these, 120,434 exposures involved children under six, who can swallow or spill cleaners stored or left open inside the home.
2. Chemical cleaners contribute to indoor air pollution and increases toxicity of the home.  They are still in the air of your home HOURS after you use them, even though you cannot smell them.  
3. Chemicals contaminate any surface used on.  If you clean the floor with a toxic cleaner and then "wipe" it away it will still get onto the skin of anyone who comes into contact with the surface.  
4. Poisonous in nature, not only if ingested.  Must wear gloves and make sure NOT TO BREATHE IT!!  ha ha.  Not quite sure how to accomplish the feat of not breathing while cleaning. :):):)
5. Fragrances added to many cleaners, most notably laundry detergents and fabric softeners, may cause acute effects such as respiratory irritation, headache, sneezing, and watery eyes in sensitive individuals or allergy and asthma sufferers. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health has found that one-third of the substances used in the fragrance industry are toxic.
6. Chemicals that are so-called "hormone disruptors" can interfere with the body's natural chemical messages, either by blocking or mimicking the actions of hormones. (SOURCE:http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_279.cfm)

Wouldn't it be awesome to know of a way to clean that wasn't total death to you and your environment in your home and the earth?????   Well I will tell you after cleaning my home growing up and also cleaning hotel rooms, I sure wish that I would have know about an alternative.  

Which makes me SOOO excited to share with you a 100% safe, eye-popping effective, and putting the booty dancing back into cleaning where it belongs method next post.  

Awkward Topics That Needn't Be:),--DIGESTION

Elysha's Top 6 Simple Tips for Better Digestion

1) Don't eat at least 2 hours before bed

2) At least a pint of water upon waking in the morning, preferably with lime or lemon juice in it. 

3) Eat FERMENTED FOODS AND BEVERAGES

4) Watch your placement of fruit.  Eat fruit alone or with greens, NOT AFTER OR DURING A MEAL.  This varies from person to person, maybe this is not an issue for you.  If it is, give it a shot, eliminate the fruit during or after a meal and see if your digestion improves. I eat them in the morning at least 20 mins before I eat anything else, except greens.  Eat your green smoothies! :)   

5) Drink water at least 20 minutes before a meal.  NOT DURING!  If you need something during a meal, choose apple-cider vinegar water, or "Sassy" water, made from an essential oil metabolic blend from doTERRA. 
SASSY WATER
5 drops of doTERRA's "Slim and Sassy" metabolic essential oil blend per quart of water.  Drink throughout the day.  
Apple-Cider Vinegar Water
4 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar (the kind with "The Mother" present, I use Bragg's) per quart of water,
and about the same amount of honey, 4 tsp... or to taste.

6) Stop eating your meal when you are 80% full.  It does not help ANYONE if you over eat, especially your digestion. :)

At the end of the day, the most important thing is self-love.  These are guidelines with which I have had great success.  Contour them to you and what works for you.  If you fall off the wagon, no worries... laugh, love yourself and joyfully leap back on. Make it SUSTAINABLE for you! 

Enjoy the now! Love the now!
Joyfully,

An Intro of How I Use Doterra Essentail Oils in My Home.

This is a quick peek of how I use Doterra essential oils in my home.  I LOVE THEM!  My children and husband have fallen in love with them as well.  Let me know if you have any thoughts or questions.  Enjoy!

Energy Tool-Meridian Tapping, EFT

Were you wondering about the tools that I talked about that can help us move our roadblocks?  Meridian tapping is one of them.  I wanted to demonstrate how I use this tools in my life! Cheers!

So here is a loose format of how I use tapping.  It really can be done in many different ways.  You don't have to write your feelings down, but I've found that it helps when you are just getting started.

1) Find a target that you would like to tap about.
2)Then write your feels about your target phrase or topic.  Just right phrases that capture how you are feeling about the subject. I like to include I am feeling in my body concerning the topic.
3)Then write how you would LIKE to feel about your target.  Just imagine how it would be if you were doing it exactly like you wish you could.

Okay now comes the tapping.
4) See what your "number" is 1-10, 10 being very intense and 1 is no problem. WRITE IT DOWN!
As you are doing these rounds of tapping really try to embody the feelings that you write down on your paper.

Start tapping on your karate chop point.
Do a setup statement and validation 3 times.

Even though I _______________ I deeply love and accept myself
Even though I _______________ I love myself anyway
Even though I feel____________ I am of infinite worth.  (Use your creativity here, there are many options)

Then carry on to the eyebrow point and continue to do rounds.  I do about 2.  I say a phrase or sentence that I wrote down, one per pressure point.  When I do another "round" you start at the eyebrow point, you don't need to do the setups at the karate chop point.


Do about 2 rounds.  Take a deep breath.

Tune in and see what your number is now.


Now, start at the eyebrow point and read from your "positive" paper, and how you WANT to be regarding your target topic.  One phrase or sentence per point, or a couple of phrases, whatever works.

Do about 2 rounds.  Take a deep breath.

Tune in and see what your number is now.

Let me know if you have any questions or need any clarifying.


LOOSE FORMAT:
Find Target
Tune in and write down your number 1-10

Karatechop (3) times
Eyebrow
Side of the Eye
Under the Eye
Under nose and above upper lip
Chin point, in the crease below the lower lip and above the bottom of the chin.
Collarbone point, below the knot and a little to the outside
Side point, a hand width below the armpit
Top of the head, a loose circle

Do another round starting with the side of the eye.  Repeat as many rounds as you would like.

After 2 rounds, or whatever you decide, take a deep breath and let the rest of the energy out.
Take a look at your number and see what it is now.

Now do a couple of rounds from your "positive" paper, and how you WANT to be regarding your target topic.


After 2 rounds, or whatever you decide, take a deep breath and let the rest of the energy out.
Take a look at your number and see what it is now, 1-10.   Be curious if there are any other layers that came up that you need to tap about.

Here is one of my favorite Tapping gurus, Nick Ortner's Blog.  He has a great tapping script here to try.


HAPPY TAPPING TO YOU!!!
Enjoy your day, moment by moment!!!
Love,
