Wellness Series Part 1: Biology of Emotion

Pain resulting from an accident or injury is one thing but chronic pain such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, and organ pain can only be managed with lifestyle changes and for many that means recognizing that illness and disease have an emotional root.   And it’s complicated because emotions may be inherited and stored in our DNA.   https://botanicalblessings.ca/anxiety-and-depression/#TrappedEmotions  Whether emotion is inherited or not, your body reflects upset.  Your brain releases chemicals that match emotions and your cells, through cell receptors, consume these chemicals.  Overtime the cell receptors are matching whatever chemical is most offered and a viscious cycle ensues wherein your cell receptors are selective, favouring the chemical matching your most prominent emotions.  And when new cells are made they are already born with this addiction.

Understanding trapped emotions and how to release them is foundational in healing.  Every essential oil has a chemical structure as well and Part 2 of the Wellness series: “Biology of Emotion” explains how  and why essential oils support healing on an emotional and physical level:   https://youtu.be/Af_2sJJjPoQ

 

Vagus Nerve Stimulation with Massage

The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve and it’s the main channel of bi-communication between our organs, primarily the gut, and the brain. With stress of any kind, the vagus nerve may get sluggish resulting in hoarseness of voice, difficulty swallowing, poor gag reflex, IBS and IBD, as well as anxiety and depression. Stimulation of the vagus nerve provides overall support for brain / body communication leading to improved wellbeing. In this video learn how to use essential oils to enhance a simply vagus nerve massage. Your health status would determine the frequency and duration of your massage. If you’re in good health, apply this technique when anxious feelings arise or when there is digestive upset. If your health is compromised, dedicate 5 mins a day to this technique in order to reset the body and support it’s healing process.

DoTERRA makes a generous donation to Covenant House Toronto for victims of sexual exploitation and trafficking!

In 2016, the International Labor Organization (ILO) estimated that 4.8 million people were victims of forced sexual exploitation around the world. Of that, twenty-one percent were children under 18 years.  Part of the mission of doTERRA Healing Hands is to end human trafficking through a collaborative approach by addressing prevention, rescue efforts and aftercare healing. DoTERRA’s Healing Hands Foundation has broken records with the the quantity and quality of donations they have made to some of their partners in this mission.

Doterra’s international partners in this mission are Operation Underground Railroad https://botanicalblessings.ca/humanitarian-works/#abolishing , Days for Girls https://botanicalblessings.ca/humanitarian-works/#daysforgirls, and Mentors International https://botanicalblessings.ca/humanitarian-works/#international

DoTERRA recently made a generous donation to Covenant House Toronto’s Avdell Home, a supported housing program for victims of sexual exploitation and trafficking. This gift will go towards beautifying the landscape of the residence, and will include a small aromatherapy garden.  Members of the doTERRA Canada team and Wellness Advocates joined Covenant House Toronto on June 5 to help plant the garden. The initiative sprang from the recognition that “The work that Covenant House Toronto is doing in the lives of the individuals they serve is life changing. It is a great honor for doTERRA to partner with them as they create a sanctuary for young women who have escaped sex trafficking,” said Bekah Nixon, doTERRA Canada General Manager.

In Ontario, 63 percent of the victims were Canadian citizens. Homeless young women are among the most vulnerable to sex trafficking, but girls of all backgrounds and circumstances are exploited. They have been as young as 13, and on average they are 17.

Last year, Covenant House Toronto supported 90 sex trafficking survivors, which is an 11 percent increase to the year prior.  Since opening its doors in 1982, Covenant House has served more than 95,000 young people.

I love that doTERRA has such a heart;  such a giving spirit toward our suffering and exploited sisters.  Thank you doTERRA for your donations to Covenant House Toronto!
