This Garden Universe, Vibrates Completely

It’s true, Everything that exists has a measurable vibration. On our planet we measure vibrations with all kinds of devices. Just for instance, an earthquake (Vibration) is measured on “Richter scale” and down to the vibration we call electricity we measure in “Kilowatts” Our voices are the creation of vibrations coming off of the vocal chords. We can all feel even the smallest vibrations that lie at our fingertips.

Our body and mind are also sources that vibrate. There is a measurement “Megahertz” or (Mhz) that help define the health of our system as well. A healthy brain for example vibrates between 72-90 Mhz as the Human body also when healthy vibrates between 62-68 Mhz.

Studies have shown that illness begins to appear when the vibrations become lower, for instance Cold symptoms can begin to show at about 58 Mhz and the Flu follows directly beneath at 57 Mhz. Other severe “body” ailments come along when the vibrations fall below, at 42 Mhz Cancer can begin to develop. And “Death” of the body has shown to begin at 25 Mhz.

Here are some oils with wonderful vibrations to not only lift your mood but most likely your vibration and well being!

Essential Oils have been tested as well, and their frequencies (Since they are “living oils as compared to “laboratory” Oils or medicines.) range between 52 Mhz and 320 Mhz. Depending on symptoms certain oils can assist you in remedies by simply raising your vibration level!

And each of our Energy Centers (Chakra’s) Have a Vibration level that they run with premium efficiency at.

Lavender, The “mother of essential oils for instance finds use in several of the centers such as the Heart and Throat and measures at a frequency of 118 Mhz.

As you progress up the Chakra centers each has a corresponding group of oils that match the centers own vibrations. By using them one can help each corresponding center also.

Patchouli, For instance is one oil suggested for the Base or Root Chakra and is shown to have a frequency of 108 Mhz. It helps in staving off colds and flu’s as well as other infectious and inflammatory conditions.

And at the top of the Scale?

ROSE Oil It shows a vibration or frequency level to be at 320Mhz! At this level, one is at almost four times the highest recorded frequency of our Mind. A helpful oil to aid in one’s quest for happiness and the manifestation of their dreams through the “Crown Chakra”

There are oils that can be blended together for all types of illness as well! We figured you knew about the many “Antibiotic” and “anti-infectious” properties of Essential Oils. We thought maybe we would show the connection between their Vibrations and Yours and well, the “Universe” as well!

All Natural Tooth Paste

I ABSOLUTELY love my new toothpaste. My “Tom’s of Maine” was in the trash before it was even finished. (I'm not even going to go into all the things that are in toothpaste that we don't want inside our bodies, I'm sure we've all heard the stories.) I LOVE how clean my teeth feel after brushing, sooooo much cleaner than any tooth paste except Arm and Hammer’s Baking Soda tooth paste. I believe I was the only one that liked that toothpaste. All my guests were disappointed I didn’t have a paste with foamers in it. Why do we need foaming toothpaste, its not like shampoo? The other think I LOVE about this toothpaste is the taste! I get excited when I think, “Oh, I should brush my teeth, they feel a little dirty.” I am brushing my teeth several times a day, just because I want to.

You may want your paste thicker, sweeter or thinner, so you will need to adjust the recipe according to your tastes. You may even start with ½ the recipe and then complete it when you know how you like it. Some people have put it in travel squeeze bottles or baby jars.

I will give my version of the toothpaste, which you will love, if you like to “dump and pour” like I do! I have also included a version for those of you that like precise measurements. J I ♥ you!

Dump and Pour Recipe
Coconut Oil – if you’re not cooking with this oil yet, stay tuned for some articles about why you may want to start.
Baking Soda
Xylitol (you can use stevia, but Xylitol is REALLY good for you teeth)
Flavoring (optional, I didn’t use any because I LOVE the taste of the coconut oil): Cinnamon powder (natural tooth whitener), mint essential oil (I recommend Winter Green, as it’s the only one that tastes pleasant) or mint extract. You could also use Coconut Extract to enhance that plaver even more.

All Natural Toothpaste
2 T coconut oil (you may want to gently melt it to make it liquid (80 degrees should do it)
1 T Baking soda
1 T Xylitol
Flavoring extract of your choice – optional

You can scoop out a bit and put it on your brush, many say with the antibacterial proporties of the coconut oil, you don’t need to worry about dipping your brush into small batches of the paste. You know what you’re comfortable doing.

I will be adding some more recipes with Essential Oils to combat bacteria, tooth aches, mouth rinses, etc….

Some nice essential oils to try in your toothpaste: Cinnamon, Wintergreen, Lemon, Clove, Lavender, Peppermint, Orange. http://thecenterofpower.com/store/index.php?cPath=2_19

Automatic Dishwasher Detergents:

Lavender Lift

2 cups washing soda
2 cups borax
20 drops lavender essential oil

Blend all ingredients together, making sure to incorporate the oil into the powders and store. Use 2 T per load of dishes for a heavenly smelling, natural kitchen for just pennies.

Super Easy 2 cups washing soda
1 cup borax
1 cup baking soda

This stores well, so you can double or triple it. Use 2 T per load and reduce it to 1 ½ T if you find residue on your glasses.

Citrus Sparkle

2 cups washing soda
2 cups borax
6 T citrus acid poweder (also known as “sour salt”)
25 drops grapefruit essential oil

Combine well and store. Use 2 T per load of dishes.

Borax is a combination of water, oxygen, sodium, and boron. It is a powder sold in the laundry aisle of grocery stores. 20 Mule Team is a popular brand.

Washing soda is sodium carbonate, and is also known as soda ash. Arm & Hammer sells it in the laundry aisle.

(Guess I shouldn’t have dropped out of Miss Zerkel’s Chemistry class in High School – who knew how I’d be using chemistry, on the Internet, in a blog or facebook!)

Citrus Acid is available in a powdered form in health food stores; in stores that cater to soap makers as well as home brewers and even vitamin stores.

Helpful Hint for the Bathroom:

To maintain a fresh scent in the bathroom, place a few drops of your favorite essential oil on the cardboard tube supporting the toilet paper. Each time the roll is used, the fragrance is released. Reapply as necessary.

Some favorite bathroom scents to try: Rosemary or Eucalyptus, Lavender, Cinnamon. Check out even more here: http://thecenterofpower.com/store/index.php?cPath=2_19

Practical uses for your Grapefruit Seed Extract

Grapefruit seed extract is a marvelous creation from Mother Nature that is in need of more respect and is an underrated treasure. It cleans us, protects us, preserves our delicate foods, and so much more. Outlined here are some of the greatest uses for grapefruit seed extract and a list of very simple to administer recipes. GSE is also added to all natural, handmade lotions, balms and creams to help preserve and extend their shelf-life.

Facial Cleanser
Thoroughly splash, or moisten face with water (either cool or warm is fine).
With hands still wet apply 1-2 drops of extract to your fingertips and massage into skin using a circular motion. Rinse thoroughly after use and pat dry. You may notice a minor tingling sensation afterwards. This is the deep cleansing properties of the grapefruit seed extract.

Skin Rinse (For very minor skin irritations)
Dilute extract with water (about 1-2 drops per tablespoon). Apply this solution directly to irritated area of the skin twice daily. If additional irritation continues discontinue immediately and seek the advice of your physician.

Nail Treatment
Dilute extract with water or alcohol (1-3 drops per tablespoon).
Apply this solution directly on the surface of the nail along the cuticle and underneath the front of the nail. Or soak nails twice daily for as long as needed

Scalp Treatment
Add 2-3 drops of extract to each shampooing. Massage into scalp and leave on for a minimum of 2 minutes. Rinse of thoroughly and be cautious not to get in eyes.
This may also be used without shampoo.

Toothbrush Cleaner
Stir 2-4 drops of extract into a glass of water. Immerse toothbrush for 15 minutes. Be sure to rinse toothbrush before using. Change water and remix every 2-3 days.

Fruit and Veggie Wash
Add 20 drops per 32oz bottle of water with sprayer pump. Shake thoroughly and spray on any vegetables, meats, fruits, or poultry. Rinse when done.

Cutting Board Cleaner
Apply 5-10 drops of extract to cutting board and work into entire board with a wet sponge or dishcloth. Leave on for at least 30 minutes. Rinse with water before using.

All Purpose Cleaner
Add 15-30 drops of extract to any 32 oz pump sprayer filled with your favorite cleanser or this can be added just to water. Use on all surfaces of the house.

Don't own any GSE? You can easily purchase of a 5 ml bottle for $5, and since a few drops is all you need, it will last a very long time!

Sunflower Oil

Here's a nice little tidbit... Another Oil to Consider when making some of the items that help make for more Healthy and Natural Lotions, Massage Oils or Facial Washes for instance, is:
Sunflower Oil (high oleic, Expeller pressed, Helianthus annuus): High oleic sunflower oil is very high in oleic (monounsaturated) acid and oil is usually defined as having a minimum 80 percent oleic acid. Sunflower oil has a light texture and is pleasant to use. It contains vitamins A, C, ...D, and E, a high linoleic acid content, and few saturated fatty acids. This oil is easily absorbed and can be used on all skin types. Its high vitamin E content makes it especially helpful for delicate and dry skin. It has a protective effect on the skin and is healing when applied to leg ulcers, bruises and skin diseases. Many soapmakers use sunflower oil as a less expensive alternative to olive oil. 1 pound $8, 2 pounds $13 and 4 pounds $23!

Magnolia – 1/4 oz $15 and 1/2 $30

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.

Pumpkin Pie Play-Doh

1 cup cold water
1 cup salt
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Turmeric - for color, a beautiful color!

Pumpkin Pie Spice - for scent. You may use cinnamon and or clove essential oils sparingly.

In a large bowl, mix together water, salt, oil and some Turmeric and Pumpkin Pie Spice. Mix flour and cornstarch and add 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly (you may need a little more or a little less than 2 cups flour so make sure you stir in until it is the right consistency). Knead for a few minutes with flour on your hands.

H1N1: New Information

With the Swine flu story growing as we head into the "season" of Colds and the Flu. And with the "fear factor" being elevated. "Out of Vaccine" reads some headlines.
We wanted again to bring some more information to you.

The only portals of entry for a Flu Virus are the nostrils and mouth/ throat. Clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water. Not everybody may be good at Jala Neti or Sutra Neti (very good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but blowing the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral population. Eucalyptus; Some of the properties of this Oil include, being an expectorant, an anti-infectious an anti-inflammatory aid. It helps reduce inflammation of the nasal mucus membranes as well. It would be a good Oil to put on the tip of the swab also, to help in bringing down the viral population. Drink as much of warm liquids as you can. Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm. The active component in kombucha tea is most likely glucaric acid. This compound, also known as D-glucaro-1,4 lactone, helps in the elimination of glucuronic acid conjugates that are produced by the liver. When glucuronic acid conjugates are disposed in the bowel during the elimination process, normal gut bacteria can break up these conjugates using an enzyme called beta-glucuronidase. Glucaric acid is an inhibitor of this bacterial enzyme, so the end result is that the glucuronic acid + waste is properly eliminated the first time, rather than being reabsorbed and detoxified over and over.
This information combined with what we have posted previously can help in reducing the threat of any colds that may get passed around. Not just this season, or even the "H1N1" virus in particular. But for any cold and flu season.
Staying calm and continuing good hygiene habits will combat the "Bugs" that are ever being promulgated as "fear factors"!
Stay Healthy, and Be Well!

Wash bedding weekly in HOT water and spin Lemongrass through your fabric softener cycle or Downy Ball, your linens will come out smelling wonderful - and natural - not synthetic.As far as repellants go, when you go into the woods and fields, put a little lavender or lemongrass around your ankles, wrists, and waist-band. You won't have to worry about chiggers or ticks (or Lyme Disease or Rocky Mountain Spotted Tick Fever). Sage or thyme would work too, but might irritate your skin so put it on your pant cuffs and shirt sleeves. As for your pets, you can put oils such as Purification, around their necks and backs, but watch to keep oils from around their eyes.
