Learning About Base OIls & Essential Oils: Lesson in Aromatherapy

Carol Gay Sklenar

Take a survey of the saturated and unsaturated fats in your kitchen which could be used as a base oil for Aroma Therapy? Blend one base oil with Lemon or Lavender essential oil and apply to skin. Then repeat with a different base oil. Which do you prefer? As you will study, each base oil has its own purpose.
I thought that this would be a fun experience. I gathered all the saturated and unsaturated fats in my kitchen that I could use as a base for essential oils and took a small sample of each. I added two or three drops of lavender essential oil to the base and applied it to my face. Just for kicks I even took the jar of Hellmann's real Mayonnaise and my Raw Cow butter. I collected a variety of oils that may or may not be a good base in applying essential oil. Each base had a distinct feeling and aroma on my face as a carrier base for the Lavender essential oil I used. My list included; Hazelnut oil, Organic Extra Virgin Coconut oil, Organic Virgin Olive oil, Organic Pumpkin oil, Organic Safflower oil, and Vegetable Glycerine. I started with the Mayonnaise. I took a teaspoon of mayo in a small dish and dropped in three drops of Lavender essential oil. I really didn't think I would like this, but it was actually very refreshing. I could smell the oil real well over the mayo smell. The mayo smell disappeared all together after about ten minutes of it soaking into my skin. The mayo became clear and made my skin feel very soft and refreshed. I thought that it would be a lot heavier feeling but I was wrong. It worked quite nicely as an 'Aroma Mayo Facial'. Next I took the Olive oil, Pumpkin oil, and Safflower oil and Hazelnut oil and mixed an amount of each into a small dish. I dropped three drops of Lavender essential oil in and mixed it up. After applying to my face it felt a bit greasy. I rubbed it in and let it soak. I wiped the excess through my hair and on my neck. The Lavender scent was apparent but not as distinct of a smell. I think the Pumpkin and Olive oil scent contended a bit with the EO. After about ten minutes my face was soft yet still a bit greasy. I did not wash it off but let it soak in before I went to sleep. Next I took the Extra Virgin Coconut oil and softened it over a flame briefly to take of the hard edge. It has been cold the last couple of days in Kansas City and the oil was a bit hard sitting in the cupboard. I dropped two drops of Lavender oil in the base and smoothed it over my face. The Lavender oil was very strong smelling in this base. I could feel the volatiles evaporating before my eyes. It was a lovely smell the two together, Coconut oil and the Lavender, very aromatic and full body scent of the lavender in the milky coconut flavor. I let it set in for ten minutes it was very smooth feeling and my face felt very soft. Next I layered the Raw Cow Butter over the Coconut base. I melted the butter and added a drop of Lavender to a small amount. It was slightly sour smelling because it was raw butter. I didn't smell the Lavender at all and it was a very weird sensation spreading the butter on my face. I think that the coconut layer prior made a bit of a difference in a good way. The two combined together left a very nice silky smooth feeling to my skin. Finally I took the Vegetable Glycerine and added two drops of Lavender oil to it. I didn't know that the veggie glycerine was so sweet. I could taste it in my mouth. It was not easy to spread over my face, but it tasted very sweet and florally with the Lavender oil added. It did smooth over my face, but it was an odd sensation because it was so sweet. I felt as if I was spreading sugar candy all over my face. After about ten to fifteen minutes it soaked in leaving a very tacky feeling on my skin. Out of all the oils I used I think they all can be used as some sort of base in Aroma Therapy, however, I don't think the Vegetable Glycerine could. I am not sure, but I think that it is more of an additive to base oils or products rather than a base in itself. It is just to tacky and sweet, not smooth and definitely not easy to spread or massage into the skin. The glycerin did not feel moisturizing on my skin, it was sticky and sweet. I preferred the Coconut oil and believe it or not the Mayonnaise. I suppose that the Mayo could be likened to a lotion. Both the Mayo and Coconut oil were refreshing and moisturizing especially with the Lavender essential oil added.

One thing I look forward to in the Spring time are Dandelions. After a long Winter without fresh wild and home garden grown foods my body is CRAVING these blood purifying greens. When I spy a good looking Dandelion plant I immediately begin to pluck those leaves while I'm drooling on myself. The roots of Dandelions can be dug up and slow dried or roasted then ground into a powder for a coffee substitute. I ,personally, have yet to try this but lots of people do. You can look it up on You Tube sometime. I use a blend of Dandelion root, chicory root, red beet root, barley and rye called 'Dandy Blend' found at http://www.dandyblend.com/ I love this blend it contains over 64 trace minerals and other healing and nutritional qualities. While traveling to work one day with a friend in the morning I shared this wonderful hot drink. He was surprised later to find out that it was NOT coffee and he said that it was even better than coffee. I would agree as I have been drinking it for years and do not even like the taste of coffee anymore. Over the years I have become very fond and appreciative of the Dandelion 'Weed' as some call it. The way I look at it is if they think it is a weak weed and they continue to try to eradicate it why is it so prolific. If I can be as strong as a weed then I'll surely eat them. I think that Dandelions know that I favor them because right now if you were to look at my front lawn it seems to be more Dandelions then grass. Their blooms have gone to seed and in the morning light with the dew ever so lightly set upon them they appear to be an existence of a certain utopia themselves. I have heard that you can make Dandelion Wine from the yellow blossoms and also a Dandelion honey kinda more like a jelly, really. I always feel so clean inside after I eat a Dandelion salad. I love to pick a bunch early in the morning ,while playing ball in the back yard with Max, and stick them in a bowl ready for an early morning salad or lunch. Early in Spring you could pick the leaves before the blossoms come out. The greens are less bitter then. I have gotten used to the more pungent leaves after the blooms by covering them up with the sweetness that comes from the Balsamic Vinegar I use to dress them. I love to chop them up well with maybe some Violet Greens , some Day Lily Greens and some fresh Chard from the Garden. Sometimes I'll throw in some fresh mint or cilantro as well. I'll add some green onion or wild garlic a hard boiled egg, some nutritional yeast (for a Parmesan like feel & taste) and some dried prunes or other dried fruit like raisins or cherries and a few walnuts or raw pumpkin seeds. Dandelion greens are packed with Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium,Vitamin A, Iron, and other minerals. Adding Wild Green Salads to your diet is something that might take some getting used to , but once you do. . there is NO turning back you will rarely go to the grocery store again for your greens. Your body will crave their medicines. Eat them up YUM !

'Healing Oils of the Bible' Class November10, 2010 5pm-8pm Kansas City Missouri

And upon her forehead was a name written,
MYSTERY,BABYLON THE GREAT. THE MOTHER OF ALL HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH
And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
' Healing Oils of the Bible' is a class about the mention of essential oils in the Scriptures. From these scriptures we can draw out how we too, can use Essential oils in our everyday living for physical, emotional & spiritual purposes. Oils are mentioned in the bible as being 'the leaves on the trees' for the healing of the nations, Revelation 22:2. In Ezekiel they are also referenced as 'medicines' . . and the leaf thereof for medicine, Ezekiel 47:12. There are over 1,ooo references to essential oils, aromatic oil-producing plants, and their applications in the Bible. Essential oils were not only used in the lives of people in the Bible they were extensively used by all the cultures around them, including the Arabians, Assyrians, Phoenicians, Babylonians, Persians, Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, and other cultures around the Mediterranean. All their perfumes, anointing oils, incense, and medicines came from the properties derived from plants found in Essential Oils. In today's world we are seriously inundated with synthetic molecules in our perfumes, medicines, our cleaning products, and even our food flavorings. Synthetic molecules do not work within the laws of nature that our bodies were created after hence they wreak havoc in our systems. When our bodies are out of alignment with God's natural laws we are out of alignment with God. In the book of Revelation it states that . . . for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. . . This word 'sorceries' is from the Greek word Parmakeia meaning medications with the implication of magic, sorcery, & witchcraft. This has to do with the alteration of molecules in the products we take and use around us. These 'synthetic' molecules actually alter our cellular receptors so that our inner cellular/body/mind connectors do not communicate properly. One way that essential oils do this is act as solvents in the body. They dissolve chemicals, toxins, heavy metals, and other unwanted substances interfering with your bodies health and communications. Essential Oils also then help to remove 'wrong programing' due to distortion of cellular receptors from these substances. They then set your cell receptors back according to God's blue print intended for your life. This is NOT 'watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat' kind of stuff ! There is TRUE science behind the use of Essential Oils in the Body. Learning to use Essential oils in your daily life can help your body to communicate within in such a way that brings peace, health and life to you. The molecules of Essential oils are molecules of God's Love manifested towards us. In the class 'Healing Oils of the Bible' we will go over how people in the Bible used them daily to keep themselves free from the plagues, sickness, evil spirits, negative emotions, and to maintain health , strength and JOY, in a world where a 1,000 might fall at your side and 10,000 at your right hand (Ps. 91:7). but if you know what is available from God to use as tools, weapons, and medicines then none of these things shall by any means come near you. In the 13 century we saw 75% of Europe wiped out with the Black Plague. There is no saying that we won't see something like this in our day. We have already had threats of the Bird Flue wiping people out. Modern Science has found some of the properties in Essential Oils to be as effective as antibiotics and to promote overall health, vitality and longevity. Come learn, enjoy, share, and experience these holy healing oils. . . Come and be anointed.

"And they went out. . . and they anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them." Mark 6:12-13

Wise Men Bring Oil

When ever anything is mentioned in the Bible the first time it is good to take note of it. . for it will set the tone for that topic throughout the whole context of the bible. I want to bring out the first mention of essential oils in the bible and talk about it's context in light of what God is doing in my life. We see the first mention of oils in Genesis 37. It is the story where Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery because of their jealousy. That is it in a nut shell right there. . being sold out to Slavery because of Jealousy. . I want to point out that Religion or Man's way of doing things is NOT the way God wants us to do things. Religion comes from the Latin word ligare, 'that which binds,' (Molecules of Emotion, Candace B. Pert. Ph.D.) In Prophetic History we are in the last of the Seven Churches mentioned in the book of Revelation. It is the Laodicean church or the 'Rule of the People'. I think we can all agree if we really take a look at things that it is human will that runs most churches and NOT Thy Will. Probably the most driving spirit in the church is the competative spirit or if you want to get biblcial it is called a Jealous spirit. This spirit takes the place of the spirit of The Fear of the Lord and rules over the people causing them to be in competition for God's Love. However God wants us to receive His Unconditional Love in the Fear of the Lord. When we come into this Fear we will really see the Freedom in the church we long to see. When the Spirit of the Lord is made Lord in the Church there is Liberty true freedom. Ok back to Genesis 37 and the story of Joseph. Now Joseph was favored of his father becaue he was the son of his beloved Rachael. (even though the bible says it was because he was the son of his "old age", I think it really means son of the promise) but we know that he loved Rachael and after he was given her sister who was older first he delighted to work yet another seven years for her, then her womb was closed up for a long time and finally they have Joseph, which took away her reproach. Joseph's brothers hated him because their father loved him more or had favor on him. So, his brothers conspired against him and even plotted his death. They throw him to the wild beast but Rueben said no let us not kill him but leave him in the pit. As they ate there lunch near by ( how ruthless they just toss there brother in the pit to die and sit down to enjoy thier lunch but God used it for Good ! ) they noticed a company of Ishmeelites coming from Gildad with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going down to Egypt. Judah, one of the brothers, propositions the other brothers that they profit from Joseph and sell him into the hands of the Ishmeelites. So they sold him to some Midianite merchantmen for 20 pieces of silver, and they took Joseph to Egypt. Joseph was then sold by the Midianites to Potiphar and officer of Pharaoh's and captain of the guard. Take note that it was the men carrying spices and balms and myrrh that Joesph found himself among during his trials and testing. Can you imaging the grief that Joesph was experiencing when the reality of his brothers plotting to kill him and then selling him strikes his heart. I think God knew exactly what he needed to maintain. Proverbs 27:9 says; Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. I can imagine that nobody there in that camp of traveling Midianites could offer consolation to Joseph but the smells they carried lifted his spirit to meet the road ahead of him. Hebrews 1:9 says; Thou has loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even YOUR God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your brethern. Humm is there a correlation between overcoming trials , and deep betrayal and the oil of gladness. I have found this to be true in my life. There are things that I literally did not think that I could make it through for fear that my heart would literally break under the weight of heaviness but God broke through. I have found that using Therapeutic grade essential oils in my daily life have enabled me to release grief, fear, betrayal, and that spirit of heaviness and along with other spiritual diciplines the tears I have sown have given me Joy in the Morning. Rev 22:2 The leaves on the trees are for the healing of the Nations, Ezek. 47:12. . and the leaf thereof shall be for medicine. Song of Solomon 1:6 (Going back to the theme being 'Sold out to Slavery by Jealousy') it says, Look not upon me because I am dark, for the sun has made me tan, my mother's children (step siblings) hated me and MADE me to work in their vineyards but mine own , vineyard, I have not kept. So tell me why do we continue to serve Religion and the 'local' church and not follow thy will for our own lives and come into Thy Kingdom Come Thy Will be Done ! because of the bondage to Jealousy ! As I have been going deeper in the Lord I am coming to know that the true Joy of the Lord is my strength. When intimidation or fear or competition pressure me to go this way or go that way or to spend time in anothers vineyard, more then my own, then Joy breaks in to overcome and I am free in peace to pursue the heart God gave me in union with His for His Kingdom Sake ! Isaiah 14 says; and it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give you rest from your sorrow and from fear and from the hard bondage that you were 'MADE to serve' in that you shall take up this proverb or taunt against the King of Babylon. . . . so be free today. .take some time to stop. .drop to your knees and smell the roses and open up your heart to His Unconditional love for you. . . and let the other's go bye bye. .until you can serve in the Joy of the Lord !

Back to the Garden with Emotional Release & Self Awareness

While in the Garden we were safe.  We had a clear connection with our creator.  We had open communication with Him.  We lived breathed and delighted in His Presence, in the Garden, in the cool of the Day.  Life was free in the Garden, free of pain, sorrow, shame, and free of sin.  While in the Garden we breathed in air and all the essential oils and volatile chemicals that were released from the plants in the Garden.  The air was clean and fresh full of vitality and energy that passed through our lungs and into our blood stream.  Along with the air we breathed in came Esters,Alcohols, Phenols,Monoterpenes, Sesquiterpenes, Ketones, Aldehydes, and Carboxylic Acids.  These were all wafting through the air being released from the plants in the Garden.  These are just a few of the invisible chemical attributes of the unseen realm of the Garden we once lived in.  Imagine the Garden.  You could run around barefoot and no coverings were necessary.  No one was ashamed of their bodies and their was no type of sickness or disease there.    This Garden was a Garden of peace.  We felt this beauty.  We beheld this beauty.  We heard this beauty and we smelt this beauty in the garden.  
     I believe that being cut off from the Garden was necessary after we sinned and disobeyed God's guidance there.  Because we had fallen from the nature that was conducive to the Garden we were not permitted to live there.  It is not that God wanted to punish us but rather it was for our own good that we were to leave the Garden.  It wouldn't be until we could be restored to a place where we could actually live and exist once again in that state that we would be permitted back into the Garden.  God is restoring us to that place.  I can testify in my life that spiritual healing and spiritual maturity are required to live in the Garden of peace and delight.  The Garden is here and now and we can live in it.  It is a spiritual Garden of His Presence~His Eternal Love.
     Several years ago, one morning,  I was having a vision / conversation with God on my bed.  God was telling me that he wanted me to go back into the Garden to live.  I was arguing and saying but No God I can't there is an angel there with a flaming sword to protect it.  I can not go in there.  He said Oh but you can.  I continued to argue and asked the question but how can I get back into the Garden.  He said by fire ! Oh, yeah makes sense.  If I was filled with fire the flaming sword would not cut me or hurt me.  Ok  I was seeing something here.  
     You can not live in this Garden with past wounds, unforgiveness, confusion,doubt, hatred, jealousy or anything else that is contrary to Love, Joy and Peace.  It sounds unreal like a fairy tale or dream.  I know, but it is Truth.  Remember the saying, 'Truth is stranger than Fiction"?  Well, it is true.  To be purified by fire can be stranger than fiction.  You will only know when you experience it.  
     It is our sense of smell or our discernment or judgment that is the key to living back in the Garden.  Our sense of smell or our 'Olfactory System' is the door way to wholeness or self awareness or single mindedness,  have you.  This will allow us back into the Garden.  It is a spirit of burning which is a spirit of self judgment that allows you to live in this garden of peace, beauty and delight. 
     Because we have been removed from the Garden the therapeutic quality of the plant release is not present in the atmosphere we live in any longer.  It is harder to discern our state of being.  The invisible chemical aspects of the living plants were in a sense a light to our discernment.  Without the activation of our lymphatic  system or emotional soul (through our Olfactory system of smell) we are shut down and unable to open up to heal our past.  
    The draw to nature is one that is instinctual and natural for we were composed of nature.  We align with the principles and chemicals of nature. Our chemical make up is of this natural earthly world.  When we become so far removed from this state of health we lose touch with the real self and begin to live a superficial and fake life  We go around either pretending that life is good or through drugary we contiue to try to make life good.  When life is meant to be good every moment, every breath, every second no matter what the situation is.  We can live in a garden of Bliss in this life.   This is why we are so compelled at times to draw away into nature once again for times of rest, retreat and relaxation.  During times like these we have opportunity to breath the chemicals and vitality of the natural relam that help to align our beings, body, soul & spirit.  Out side the garden we are shut down or closed to His healing love.  It is then fear that drives us anxioulsy forward in an irrational state of being that pushes everything else aside for those sinful, lustful, carnal and selfish desires.  We need to open up to Love to be healed. 
     The mere simplicity of smelling pure therapuetic grade essential oils open our souls to the awareness of the healing journey.  This process is one of self reflection and trust.

Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils ? Why ?

I was familiar with Essential oils growing up. My older sisters used them. I knew they smelled good, came from plants, and were all natural. While going to a home group for a season a friend ,that came, always smelled like pizza. She would bring her oils to group and pass them around. She was overcoming a muscle disease and was using a healing modality called, 'Raindrop'. This was the application of several oils on the feet and along the spine. She received a Raindrop once a week for a year. After that she went through a season of going through emotional issues that were linked to her muscle disease. She has been free of the disease and all symptoms for over three years now. That was my introduction to the oils being use for healing and not just to make you smell or feel good. During this season the Lord was preparing me for more deliverance from fear. While praying during our group the lord was showing us that he wanted to set me free from this once and for all. Two friends and I made a date to get together outside of the group to pray about this. One friend was putting the oils on my feet and the other was counseling me and leading me in some Theophostics and asking me questions. It was during this time of prayer that I was delivered from a spirit of fear that I had all my life. It was attached to my physically heart. I became aware of this spirit during another deliverance session years prior. It was not the timing of the Lord to deal with it that back then. I learned a lot about the anointing of God's love and how to walk in his presence. He brought to my attention because I was raised without the presence of an earthly father that I was not trusting my heavenly father to protect me. This day I was set free from a generational spirit of fear. Then I began another part of the journey to walk this out daily. It was a good eight month battle after this time. I had to stand my ground and walk in Love. After the eight months I walked out even more deliverance from fear. I would get fear and anxiety just out of the blue and I would have to just release it to the Lord. I think that most of this anxiety was emotional baggage that was just coming out of my body, feelings of the past from living under a spirit of fear so long. Most of it was from the years before 18 when I came to the Lord and was filled with the Spirit. However 18 years of bottled up fear is a lot to release still. I also had to learn to walk in Love and the Lord really dealt with thought patterns and external triggers. This is when I started to get more interested in the use of oils. I began to use them as a constant companion. My husband said, "You are getting addicted to those oils". Well there was a period of a few years when I really needed to have them close in the event I needed to release fear or anxiety. Once I was in Sam's Club and a spirit of fear just hit me and I ran, well left quickly, and went home. It was after this that I started keeping the oils in my pockets and purse. I also found that when I would eat bad that I was more prone to a spirit of fear and anxiety. It was my observation that sugar, white flour, conventional dairy and meats in my diet would set things off. It is not that if I ate any amount of these I would feel fear but if I were eating more of these types of food rather than raw fruits & veggies, wheat grass, salads and my healthy stuff. It has taken me years of pressing on to develop a lifestyle of discipline that keeps me in the spirit of love, power and a sound mind. For me it has been in overcoming my past emotional baggage, or releasing it that I have been able to overcome other things. When you get rid of past negative emotional energy you have more room for Love, Peace and JOY !
I find that I am not as dependent on the oils as I was during those few years of deliverance. I believe the oils helped me to walk out of the patterns of fear into Perfect Love. I find that there are seasons when you will use oils more than others, for emotionial, physical or spiritual reasons. Therapeutic grade essential oils have a very tiny molecular structure enabling them to penetrate your skin and get right to your DNA on a cellular level. All those little receptors on your cells (that do all your body/mind communicating) get so distorted from past trauma, cultural conditioning, (which is a form of abuse) pharmaceutical abuse, wrong diet, seditary lifestyle, generational issues, and so on. Therapeutic Essential Oils work their magic/majesty in a way that God alone has fashioned them to do. I do believe they are the true medicine. The leaves on the trees ARE for the healing of the nations. If you need healing have an elder anoint/rub/masach (Hebrew word for anoint) with oils that you may be healed, or just order some from my Young Living webiste and learn to be an elder yourself and take responsibility for your own healing.
My friend invited me to the Young Living meeting here in town. I sat next to a lady who randomly told me that she had been using Essential Oils for over 20 years and have not found an oil on the market more pure. I did not ask her for that information she volunteered it. I tried other oils and to date I will not put any other on my body. When I get a flu or cold I even take these oils internally. I diffuse them next to my bed every night. I have found that at times a drop of oil will satisfy me as much as a meal or a snack. Because our sense of smell is wired right to our lymphatic system the emotional seat of the brain, it satisfies as if we were living in the Garden of Eden once again. Wow ! Especially when I do a fast, if I use the oils they are so exhilarating to the emotions from having more energy to feeling an euphoric peaceful state.
I do think that was part of the curse when we were kicked out of the garden, that our emotional state would suffer for lack of the essential oils and scents wafting around in there. It is very hard these days to have normal emotional releases and stay light as a feather and keep going on with the pressures of life. I have found that using Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils from Young Living I can stay free of emotional baggage and live a CARE FREE life !

Your 'Are' as you Perceive & Receive

I had a dream about ten years ago. I was being chased by leaders in my church and they were wearing Medical scrubs. That dream perplexed me for years, but I just set it on the back shelf in my mind and figured if God wanted me to know what it all meant in due time I would know. . .Well recently I was listening to a tape series called, "The Wisdom of Your Cells', by Bruce Lipton. It is an eight dvd series. During the first tape I remembered my dream and found the interpretation. Bruce was a medical doctor for sometime while continuing personal research on cells. He said that he found test results from test conducted over 100 years ago that prove that 'genes' do not control our lives. He began to do his own testing and found that it is rather our cell receptors that influence our lives and health. There are thousands of cell receptors on each cell. These receptors get 'tweaked' so to speak with all kinds of factors from media influence to diet, childhood trauma, cultural conditioning, and pharmaceutical drugs. Bruce also wrote a book titled, 'The Biology of Belief'. The conclusion is that the only thing that controls your life is your perception on reality. Our perception is distorted by a number of things. Someone will say, "Oh, I have asthma because my mother did. Well that might be the case but it is not because you genes tell you that you have asthma. You will have to get to the spiritual root of it and get rid of it that way. You may have something that is spiritual or emotionally passed down but it is nothing that can't be taken to the cross and dealt with if you will do so. The Bible says that the sins of our forefathers visit those up to the fourth generation of those who hated me.
Back to my dream. I learned in The Wisdom of Your cells about the history of how the practice of Allopathic Medicine along with Modern Science came to 'practice medicine' today. Bruce points out that medical practice along with most belief systems are based on 'Dogma' this meaning a belief that is not scientifically backed up. Let me insert a quote by Candace B. Pert, Ph.D. from her book, 'Molecules of Emotion'.
"If psychological contributions to physical health and disease are viewed with suspicion, the suggestion that the soul~~the literal translation of psyche~might matter, is considered downright absurd. For now we are getting into the mystical realm, where scientists have been officially forbidden to tread ever since the seventeenth century. It was then that Rene Descarte, the philosopher and founding father of Modern Medicine, was forced to make a turf deal with the Pope in order to get the human bodies he needed for dissection. Descartes agreed he wouldn't have anything to do with the soul, the mind, or the emotions~~those aspects of human experience were under the virtually exclusive jurisdiction of the church at the time~~if he could claim the physical realm as his own. Alas, this bargain set the tone and direction for Western science over the next two centuries, dividing human experience into two distinct and separate spheres that could never overlap, creating the unbalanced situation that is mainstream science as we know it today".
So, it has been said that if we consider the unseen part of our being to be relevant in the physical health of our bodies then we are 'witches' humm? Well at least these witches may live a free life. I know a few young girls who live in my neighborhood. They come over and visit with me sometimes. One is very perceptive about other people, at the same time very cautious of others, which is not a bad trait now a days. One day she was not feeling to well emotionally and I asked her what was wrong and spoke something to her that I don't recall, but just trying to encourage here. Later I heard from her friends that she thought I was a 'witch' because I knew so much about her. I took it as a complement that my prophetic gifts were active that day as I spoke into her life not even knowing it. The only grid that most people have for the 'unexplainable' is usually witchcraft, you know like all the Harry Potter's books and movies this generation is into. But what was it "back when", when people would come up with new revelation, ideas, concepts, perceptions, or supernatural power that flowed from their gifting and their relationship with God? Why did the known Church at that time burn so many of these 'witches' at the stake? Humm could it be control for power rooted in fear of losing that power?
Well this has been my story that I experienced a tormenting fear for as long as I could remember. When I was a very young girl I had anxiety and fear of many thing. I would sleep with about 20 stuffed animals all around my body at night to protect me. It has been my reality that as I have moved to Kansas City, the last eight years God has been delivering me into His Perfect Love and driving out ALL FEAR !!! This deliverance has occurred because I just so wanted to be free so I really have pressed into the Lord for this. He has lead me to learn about the use of therapeutic grade Essential oils to help unlock my emotional life and become free of things generational that have plagued my family even still to this day. It is not fun living in fear. But in all reality these fears were not even rational. My family watched a lot of Horror movies and murder mysteries. They would even be on in the house when I came home from school in the afternoon. The mind of a young child is very impressionistic and when your mind is exposed to a lot of stuff on tv through your eyes, which are the window to the soul, then your mind gets warped. Thank God for unwarping my mind and setting me on a straight course in reality. I had a fear of impending death. . just to name one incident. . . and during a time of fasting in my prayer time I was using some oils with my body charts from the book, "Releasing Emotional Patterns through the use of Essential Oils" when I had this incredible release. As soon as I put the oil of Joy on my face near my chin my soul exploded with Joy. I immediately jumped on my Rebounder mini trampoline and started singing, "I've got the Joy JOy JOy JOY down in my heart, down in my heart down in my heart, I've got the joy JOy JOy JOy down in my heart, down in my heart to STAY, and when I got to that line, 'Down in my heart to STAY' well it is like it was amplified a 1000 times and I knew that God had delivered me from something. I also felt a real release down in my lower abdomin area, kind of a shaky feeling. As I calmed down and was reflecting on the situation. He showed me that the fear of 'impending' death had left. I didn't even know that I had it. But I became so aware of it, and yes now that I thought about it at the most odd times I would think, " Wow! I could just die". He also showed me that it came in through watching Horror movies growing up. I NEVER like those movies. . it was a bondage in our family and is today still in the entertainment culture. I didn't even like taking a bath after Orca or sometimes even sitting on the toilet after seeing Jaws so many times. Now it wasn't all the time but when I was young and had just saw the movie I remember these incidents and they were just not rational. Now who would think a shark could come through the toilet? Well maybe a child that has seen more shark movies then been on a boat. Ok! think about it. We need to protect our children's innocent minds. The pure in heart shall see God ! I thank God for his deliverance. I hope to post more experiences I've had as they relate to my emotions, deliverance, healing and the use of Therapuetic Grade Essential Oils.
