"Blue" for the Blues?

Returning to ALIVE! yesterday, one important item on my agenda was to go visiting...blog hopping...checking in with a few I follow, and discovering a few more linked to those. You know, I believe that's a great way to make new friends in the blogosphere world.

One new friend is Smiling Sally. I'm following her now, and will be adding her blog to my favorites list. "Blue Monday" is Sally's own fun way to interact with blogger friends. Be sure to visit.

A mention of her "Blue Monday" posts drew my attention to her "home." I'm not sure why. Purple, orange, teal, coral, caribbean sea green, brown . . . those are my colors. But recently I bought a bathing suit in brown with big blue flowers. Then I purchased some awesome blue lagoon batik and made a skirt to complement it. An old (but beautiful) necklace and bracelet with a couple shades of blue was the inspiration for another sewing project -- a deep rich blue dress. And then, of course, I love my blue jeans!!!!

How does all of this fit into my health and wellness blog? Well, let's talk about one of my very favorite blue treasures, Australian Blue™ (therapeutic grade) essential oil from Young Living Essential Oils. Sweet smelling Australian Blue™ derives it's sweet aroma from a blend of Blue Cypress, Ylang Ylang, Blue Tansy, Cedarwood, and White Fir essential oils. Among the potential aromatic benefits of this beautiful blend of oils are its abiities to be calming and balancing to the emotions and quite uplifiting and inspiring as well. Doesn't Australian Blue sound like the perfect antidote for the blues?

Additional notes here: Its aromatic influence may also help calm anger and bring about self-control. If that's not enough, you may apply it topically for its potential to relieve minor aches and pains. Some folks use it as perfume. Inhale Australian Blue's™ sweet scent...First prepare your olfactory senses for a most delightful treat!!!

The sense of smell is so powerful and brings back memories stored for years as well as prompts our quick reactions even before we have an opportunity to consider them. The sense of smell is the only of our five senses of which this is true. Inhaling the beautiful scents of aromatherapy oils have the potential to provide some amazing benefits for our total well-being: body, mind & spirit. A few of them travel with me always wherever I go.

Learning How Reflexology May Help You

Earlier this week I found myself on an incredible internet journey. . . DESTINATION: Articles and Info about specific ways reflexology may help you, your family and your friends. I was serious about this. You must understand, in the USA not too much research has been done to document the results reflexologists see everyday. Other countries (Denmark, UK, and China mostly) have done extensive research. Their results have encouraged them to place reflexology into the mainstream of the medical community. Tennessee, the state where I live and practice reflexology, was the first state to actually set reflexolgoy apart from other modalities and professions, and its regulation does fall under health related boards. That is certainly a positive!!! My journey did lead to some interesting locations I would love to share with you. I believe if you will check these out you will learn so much about the value of reflexology as not only one of the most incredibly relaxing experiences you may have, but...
