VISIONS FROM THE TAROT
jessica "INSPIRATION & IMPULSIVITY"
By: Jessica

      If you haven't started feeling the passion and creativity of Sun in Aries energy, get ready to brace yourself. My spirit guides have been telling me that the world is abuzz in an impatient, expansive energy that is now bursting at the seams. For most of us, changes and transitions have taken place during March that will help us to channel our impulsive, inspired energy in a positive way. By prioritizing and rearranging our schedules, lives, etc., we have made room for the trial and error that will surely accompany the pursuit of new dreams. For those who have not worked with the transitional energy, there may be small, yet rude awakenings.  two of swords

"POLISHED POCKET & PALM STONES"
  By: Divine Prince

     A famous author of crystals and minerals once said, "Healing is in the Earth" and indeed healing is in the earth and all of her elements provide us with know how to properly access and utilize them. The soothing, cathartic, balancing effects of the appropriate applications of minerals and stones cannot be over stated. Polished and tumbled Quartz, minerals and other crystalline varieties also add to any message, therapeutic and calming de-stressing practice toolbox.
     Each mineral and crystal variety has its special area of concentration and usage. Holding these stones during prayer, meditation and contemplation can greatly enhance and boost your connection to healing and spiritual menageries but also have a cathartic and healing vibration upon the body. We will explore these stones over the next four months so stay tuned for what each article unveils.  For the month of April I will talk about minerals whose name begins with the letter "A".

AROMATHERAPY SPOTLIGHT
"OVERCOMING ADDICTIONS"
   By: Joy Debnath  

     Although addiction is a heavy topic, one of our customers
inspired me to share this knowledge of how to use essential oils on the road to recovery from all types of addictions.  Whether it be drugs, alcohol, food, gambling or something else, addiction is a disease that affects our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health.  Aromatherapy is a wonderful component to aid in reducing withdrawal symptoms, detoxing the body and improving one's resolve to take control and overcome the addiction. 
     Some common symptoms that you may battle on the journey to recovery are cravings, physical withdrawal, anxiety and depression.  Use the following essential oils for each symptom by adding several drops to a palm full of oil, massaging it into the soles of your feet before bed and diffusing 4-5 drops in a diffuser at work, home or in the bedroom while you sleep.  Adding 8-10 drops of an essential oil to a bath along with 2 cups of Epsom Salt can be invigorating and detoxifying as well when you need a boost.

Reducing cravings: Clove, Grapefruit or Peppermint 
Withdrawal: Lavender, Grapefruit, Sandalwood, Lemon or Orange 
Anxiety: Lavender, Ylang Ylang, Bergamot or Frankincense  
         Depression: Orange, Frankincense, Sandalwood or Lavender

The following is a list of oils to use for specific conditions. You may use either one or a combination of oils depending on your preference.

Eating Disorder(s): Bergamot, Rosemary, Grapefruit 
Smoking: Black Pepper, Clove 
Alcohol: Lemon, Chamomile, Thyme, Rosemary 
Prescription Drugs: Orange, Chamomile, Bergamot 
Street Drugs: Grapefruit, Bergamot, Chamomile, Frankincense

Remember that consistent use of the essential oils in combination with your individual recovery plan and support from people that have your best interest at heart are the keys to success!
