Essential oils are another bonus for a perfect massage experience. Not everyone likes smells. When I was pregnant I couldn't stand any smell. Some people are too sensitive to smells and get migraines or have an allergic reactions. But if you are not sensitive and don't have any contraindications to essential oils, ask me to add aromatherapy to your massage treatment for free. If you are pregnant or nursing, or on any kind of medication please check with your doctor before using essential oils.

In aromatherapy massage, essential oils are added to the massage oil and applied topically or diffused in the air. During the massage, healing essential oil molecules pass right through the blood/brain barrier, having profound effects on the mind and body.

Essential oils are the essence of a plant. Inside many plants there are concentrated, highly potent chemical compounds hidden in their roots, bark, seeds, fruits and flowers. These natural compounds are essential oils. For over 5,000 years, many different cultures have used healing plant oils for a variety of health conditions.

Essential oils stimulate olfactory receptors in the brain that sets off reactions in the body like muscle relaxation, boost immune system, increase blood and oxygen circulation.

These therapeutic oils in plants protect them from insects, shield the plants from a harsh environment and help them to adapt to their surroundings.

By using essential oils, you are harnessing the protective and beneficial powers of a plant. Essential oils have antibacterial and antifungal benefits with tremendous healing properties. The essence of a plant can help support your immune function to help your body fight against unwanted ailments before they get any worse.

When buying essential oils you need to make sure they are certified USDA organic, 100 percent pure and authentic, therapeutic grade and lab tested from verified third-party, independent labs.

In order to be healthy, we need to have a healthy balanced life. Real, clean foods that are pesticide and herbicide free, from small local farms. No matter what your diet is, try to find the best ingredients. Filter your water. Take supplements. Find time for yourself, accept love and learn to give love. Find reasons to celebrate every day, appreciate everything you have, be grateful for every challenge life throws at you and approach those difficulties from different perspective.

Exercise, but it is not necessary to go to the gym and sweat every day. Stretch throughout the day, 10 squats or more, run to the mailbox, vacuum the floor as if you would be working out at the gym with all your muscles being engaged. Do a silly dance in front of the mirror or just stand like a tree with your hands up and swing as if the wind is blowing and moving the branches of the tree. Just keep moving and never stop. Avoid toxic people, avoid toxic information, scary movies, negative music, negativity influences bad habits, which entails creating an unhealthy life. Find peace in nature, hug your loved ones or your pet or a tree. And don't worry about stuff that you can not control.

Start gardening!! Soil has antidepressant benefits. Antidepressant microbes in soil cause cytokine levels to rise, which results in the production of higher levels of serotonin. You are not only going to grow healthy food for yourself, but you will get happier during the process of working with the soil. I can't even express the happiness you experience by seeing your seeds sprouting or satisfaction eating your first fruits. It's something unbelievable and the work that is put in growing food well worth it!

I wish you to find laughter in every situation, good sense of humor makes everything easier. You are in control of your presence and future. You are in control of your actions and only you can make a change. Ask yourself questions and respond to them, first answer is always the right one. Don't ever think that you are stuck in your situation.

My guidance are my Angels, they whisper to my ears what to do next. I pray and ask God and my guardian Angels to show me the way and help me. Then I listen to my intuition and follow it without questioning why, sometimes the craziest ideas leads me to exactly what I wished. You don't have to be religious to pray, you can simply ask the higher power to help you to navigate in this world and find the path you wished to find. Good luck to you in finding that life you always dreamed of.

The third eye is located on the forehead, between your eyebrows, just a little higher. The central point for your intuition, imagination and inner wisdom. Third eye is our Pineal Gland. It brings clarity, concentration, perspicuity, bliss, and insight. Lucid dreaming, astral projection, quality of sleep has been linked to third eye. It holds great power. It is a gate to the inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness. Don't forget to kiss your loved one's forehead.
