Dancing With "Spirit"

“Spirit and I have been dancing together for many years!
We have been doing the “jitterbug", and so many other Fast Dances I cannot count or name them all!
“Spirit” would, swing to the left, I would, swing to the right!
I would turn myself about and shake it all around.
Spirit would simlpy smile and wait for me to turn it back around.
Spirit would disappear and I would look behind the mirror.
It was only recently that I realized that “Spirit” was simply waiting,
waiting for me to ask for a “slow dance”!
Well I did just that the other day and, I have never let go!
To dance with “Spirit” Nice, and, Slow…
To hold tight, to feel “Spirit’s" heart beating next to mine, side by side as one.
To know that “Spirit" and I are now dancing as one!
That we are one, one of the all that is.
That we are dancing with the universe and you and….
Dancing The Night and, Eternity away!!!
Just You, “Spirit” and Me!!!

When Talking about Using these Sumptuous Oils, here are a few reasons to consider using them!Fragrances vs. Essential Oils
Fragrance: The question posed is that of the fragrances that we love so dearly. When we speak of fragrances the first thought that comes to most is that of the perfumes/colognes, shampoos, everyday household cleaning products etc... The list is endless.The desire to use them to do everything from cleaning to help with emotional Well Be-ing is as natural to use as the air we breath. The problem "lies" in what is considered a fragrance! Or what the FDA allows to be used in the products marketed in this country as a fragrance.There are potentially over 1,000 "ingredients" used by the commercial perfume industry alone that could cause harmful effects to those that use the products. The European Union has banned at least that many from their marketplaces while our government has banned as few as eight. This is allowed because, all the perfume companies need to do to get around the FDA's standards is to call the ingredients a "trade secret" allowing them to use illegal ingredients without the government doing so much as to even blink an eye! Among many of the harmful effects of these "secret ingredients" and potentially the most harmful, is that they can reach though the membrane barrier in the mind into the "Limbic System" where our memories, our cognitive skills, the regulation of our nervous system, blood pressure and heart rate are controlled among many other other functions important to our Well Be-ing. Damage to this system can cause adverse effects such as vascular degeneration of the brain, damage to the spinal cord and peripheral nerves, hyperactivity, depression, mood swings, seizures.... the list is long! The industry has always stated that they would clean up there products. The problem is that they are allowed to self-regulate this "clean up"

Vs.

Essential Oils: These Oils have been around since the dawning of this beautiful planet we call home! They were here long before the first "Modern Doctors" were given diplomas and told they were ready to go out among the people and "heal" them. And yes they do have wonderful healing properties! They have been shown to raise our "vibration level" with just the faintest of an inhalation. But for healing the spirit? They too reach the Limbic System, but as pure Essence's with only the properties that "Spirit" intended! They have been shown to "help" improve the very same symptoms the fragrance industry is harming with all the additives they call "trade secrets"! Oh and by the way. Did we happen to mention that these oils "AROMA'S heal the Heart, Mind and Soul all the while bringing the true fragrance's of the earth to our daily lives! Pure Essential Oils are just that! PURE! No "additives" no "trade secrets"!
Let us know if you’re interested in any of the oils, we can almost do any size for you.
