AFFINITY FOR: heart chakra, throat chakra

RESONANCE: spiritual, physical, emotional

APPLICATION: ^LeExpressions is very nice diffused, wonderful for a relaxing bath and can be diluted with a carrier oil and used for a truly wonderful massage.

AROMATIC CONSIDERATIONS: The aroma of this blend is amazing—sensuous and heady, almost euphoric and very healing to the emotional heart and heart chakra.

EMOTIONAL - SPIRITUAL - MENTAL ASPECTS: ^LeExpressions contains many of the highest frequency spiritually, emotionally, and mentally balancing and healing essential oils. The synergy of this blend makes it even more effective than any of its single essential oils when used alone. The recent addition of Osmanthus to this blends adds yet another layer of emotional and spiritual balance.

^LeExpressions is a very nice blend for pampering yourself. This oil is used to enhance communication and connection in romantic relationships, and is most definitely an aphrodisiac.

PHYSICAL ASPECTS: ^LeExpressions is an excellent oil for hormone balancing and the emotional problems associated with PMS. This is also an excellent oil to keep spirits and confidence levels high during childbirth. The essential oils comprising this blend increase skin elasticity. It should be used for skin care, to minimize and reduce stretch marks, and to reduce scarring.

GENERAL INFORMATION: ^LeExpressions is a rather pricey oil. It has to be because of the cost of its ingredients. Fortunately, the aroma is often all that you need and when you do need to apply the oil to your body, one drop is sufficient.

^LeLIFE FORCE

INGREDIENTS: Blue Tansy, Caraway, Clove, Dill, Frankincense, Galbanum, Geranium, Hyssop, Lemon, Mountain Savory, Oregano, Ravensara, Rosemary, Thyme

AFFINITY FOR: nervous system, immune system

RESONANCE: physical, emotional

APPLICATION: One of the best places to apply this blend is along the spine. Other good places are all over the feet and on the thymus area of the chest.

AROMATIC CONSIDERATIONS: ^LeLife Force should be diffused to strengthen the immune system and increase energy levels. It will also disinfect and purify the air, eliminating germs and bacteria.

EMOTIONAL - SPIRITUAL - MENTAL ASPECTS: ^LeLife Force immediately raises the over-all frequency of the body, improving outlook and response to stress and trauma.

PHYSICAL ASPECTS: ^LeLife Force should be used following any illness or traumatic experience that has left one feeling weak, shaky, or on edge. This blend can make a big difference in the recovery period of accidents and illnesses. ^LeLife Force builds, strengthens, and protects the body because it is an immune and adrenal gland stimulant and toner. Use it with ^LeEndoRelief during the cold and flu season. You may avoid getting sick altogether, and, if you do catch something, the illness will have a shorter duration and recovery period.

For fever, dilute and apply along the spine. For bronchitis, use ^LeLife Force with ^LeAspire or ^LeBreezey applied to the chest. For an earache, put 1 drop of ^LeLife Force in a carrier oil and put it into the ear. In addition, I like to put 2 or 3 drops of BBL tincture in the ear. BBL will numb the pain and cause any inflammation to dissipate through a multitude of small holes which heal quickly (instead of in one large rupture which is the way ears usually deal with inflammation).

Soaking your feet in very hot water to which 2 or 3 drops of ^LeLife Force has been added, can assist the body to detoxify, especially from environmental poisons and medications. The combination of immune stimulant properties and detoxifying capabilities make ^LeLife Force effective against allergies and other mild auto-immune dysfunctions.
