What an awesome opportunity it was to study with Christina Pirello at her School of Natural Cooking ! Thanks so much Christina and Robert!

It’s awesome to see that a hug media source like USA Today
is reporting that this ancient remedy can work in today’s health
care regime.

USA Today reported yesterday that a recent study out of
Saudi Arabia (where myrrh has beenus or centuries as a
medicinal agent) is finding that when used, myrrh can reduce
“bad” cholesterol and increase good” cholesterol.

But here’s the missing piece – no one knows how to use it.

The article says (excerpt second paragraph):

The study author explained that myrrh resin
could be used in conjunction with other plant
materials to boost heart health, although it’s
not clear yet how people might consume it,
and more research is needed.

Well here is a great tip on how to use myrrh
when in doubt:

Here are some quick tips and techniques
you can do at home to get ready for
Valentines Day.

To start with, the two big secrets to being prepared are:
–Feeling good from the inside out
–Charging your energy field

When you come from that awareness and follow
these tips you will create an irresistible ‘glow’!

>>First start with your thinking process.

Some key words to hold in your mind:
. . . softness, centered, receptive, grounded,
cleansed, moisture, compassion, gratitude,
love, heart.

These words will vibrate in your energy field and
“set the stage” for you to create those ’states of
being’.

>>Internal cleansing can help your skin and aura glow.
A few ways you can internally cleanse:
–Foods – veggies, fruits, juices
–Fasting – juices only or the Master Cleanse prep
–Essential oils / herbal preps
–Colonics

>>Taking a steam shower will purify, cleanse, and hydrate
–Run a hot shower and sprinkle your favorite essential
oil into the running water and steam (precautions:
don’t burn yourself with the hot water – and don’t slip
if there is a fatty base oil in your essential oil!)

>>Do a body scrub
Scrubbing with sugar is a great way to get sweetness
without taking sugar internally (which is a big no-no)

Sugar topically is great for the skin because the sugar
cane produces glycolic acid which is a great exfoliant.
(see recipe in essential oil tip below).

>>Adequate hydration make skin and tissues soft and plump
Do you notice on some days you have more wrinkles
compared to other days?

This can have alot to do with how much water you
drink.

Drink more water than you normally do.

You may think you drink enough water but chances are
you are not. Even if you think you drink enough try
increasing your water intake by 50% and notice your skin
changes (and your clarity of mind!)

The standard rule is eight eight-ounce glasses a day.
Another popular water intake rule is your weight in
ounces plus 20 ounces more. Of course if you have a
medical condition that warrants water restriction you
wouldn’t do this.
(that topic is for another article!).

>>Supplements. . . Essential Fatty Acids / Vitamins A & D, Cod
Liver Oil
Fish oils and flax are great for your skin (along with
their many other benefits). Taking adequate amounts of
these oils can help make your skin more supple, soft, and
shiny.

>>Essential Oils
For skin:
There are wonderful essential oils and essential oil
products for skin. My favorite essential oil product
line, Young Living, has a great wrinkle cream made with
Boswellia (that is Frankincense!) called Boswellia
Wrinkle Cream.
For your energy field:
The frequency or vibration of YL essential oils are
unmatched. This is the special part of the oil that
has the life force. The life force of these oils can
enhance your life force – which charges your energy
field.

For scent:
Therapeutic grade essential oils are not perfume grade
oils. There is a world of difference between the two.
There are no fixatives and fillers and chemicals in
therapeutic grade oils, so consequently the scent won’t
linger for hours like a perfume or perfume grade oil.
But I would still recommend using a therapeutic oil
because the transforming qualities will last ongoing -
even way beyond the time where the oil evaporates and the
scent dissipates. (Essential oils are volatile – they
evaporate).

>>Back to the mindset – one more time:
Be open to receiving. Soft receptivity. Realize that this
may require alot of effort if you tend to be a
controlling person

2. Essential Oil Tip: Body Scrub with Sugar

This is effective for your whole body.
If your facial skin is sensitive don’t
scrub as hard as you would your feet, or
maybe skip your face.

Use a plastic container to mix – glass
may break in the bathroom.
For storage, use glass.

Combine:

–1/2 cup olive oil (or coconut oil)
–1 cup of sugar
–Few drops of your essential oil

Do this in the bathroom.
Use small amounts at a time and massage
gently on the skin.
You can leave it on for a minute or two for
a tightening effect.
Rinse.

Here is a video that shows the same recipe but for
a hand scrub. This is good for skin all over your
body!

There are still many skeptics out there that think that the mind-body relationship and mind-body medicine is quackery.

The next time you come across one of these people give them this little exercise to do.  They will have a “felt experience” of how the mind can influence the body.

Try this for yourself too!

1. While sitting, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.

2. Now, while doing this, picture in your mind the number “6″ and in the air draw it with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction!!!
