Eucalyptus

 

Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Most people diffuse eucalyptus essential oil when they need respiratory support.  I have also found its anti-inflammatory tendencies  to ease my osteoarthritis type aches and pains when I diffuse it.  Each individual has their own causes of discomfort and different things are effective for different things and each individual must research and discover what helps them on thier own.  Eucalyptus was one of the first free oils I received as a promotional item a few months after I became involved in Young Living.  It is a plant that has been known to be  distilled since the mid 1800s.  Much of it has been grown in Australia.  I keep it on hand in case I get a head cold and I diffuse it occasionally at bedtime to maintain comfort.   Get your first order placed HERE.  Please click on the two links above and listen to the video that follows for more information.  

The Hidden Messages In Water by Dr Masaru Emoto

 

The Hidden Messages In Water

by

Masaru Emoto

This short little book only took 2.5 hours to listen to.  It is about research by Dr Masaru Emoto, who studied the effect of different stimuli on ice crystals.  It is an interesting book but I found parts of it a little far out there.  Over all though I liked the main ideas the author was explaining.  I believe  there is a lot to be said for energy and the impact our behavior, thoughts and words can have on others.  I believe there are frequencies that are different for different things.  He lost me when he was talking about the effect of the written word on water crystals but I could follow him on the effects of the spoken word on them.  I would recommend this book to others.  I enjoyed it and thought it had some really good ideas. I hope other scientists are continuing to study this field.   Please click on the words at the beginning on the blog to follow the three links to more information.  And enjoy the video below.  It is a bit outdated as Dr Emoto died in 2014 but the video does a good job of explaining his work.

of Troublesome Creek

Sometimes I run across an audio book that I not only listen to when I am in the car but I pop in my ear buds when I am walking and even while I dust or fold laundry and work on other household tasks.  The Book Woman Of Troublesome Creek is one of those books.   My sister in law was reading it and recommended it.  She did not steer me wrong.  I have mentioned it to several people and told them how much I liked it.  It is a book about a young woman who is a pack horse librarian during the depression in the Appalachian mountains.  She is considered by many of her community to be a different race because her skin is blue due to a little known type of anemia.  I became tearful at least three times during the book.  Kim Michele Richardson has written a beautiful story.  Please click on the book title and author's name above to follow links to more information and enjoy the video that follows.  And take the time to read or listen to this book.  It is one of the best I have enjoyed this year.  

The Victory Garden by Rhys Bowen

This novel has been a nice escape the last couple days.  It is an easy read and I gobbled it up quickly.  It is an historical romance which is a little more fluff than my normal genre of the historical novel.  It is based during WWI in England.  It has gardening and herbs.  It has folk medicine.  Therefore it appealed to me as far as a book I wanted to read.  The characters in it were likable people.  I recommend this book as one you will finish fast and enjoy.  It is not a deep or challenging book but instead one that everyone can enjoy.  Please click on the book title and author's name above to follow links to more information.  And enjoy the video that follows.
