Essential Oil Tidbits

Balancing Immune - EOs are anti-bacterial , anti-cancerous, anti-fungal, anti-infectious, anti-microbial, anti-tumoral, anti-parasitic, anti-viral, and antiseptic. Essential oils have been shown to destroy all tested bacteria and viruses while simultaneously restoring balance to the body. These characteristics are found in such oils as: On Guard Blend, Lemon, Thyme, Melelueca, Eucalyptus, Cinnamon, Pine, Oregano, Lavender and Sandalwood.

Sedative - Essential oils may also have a pronounced effect on the nervous system by producing relaxation, pain relief and relieving muscle spasm. Oils with these properties include Lavender, Rose, Geranium and Ylang Ylang.

Why would you use an essential oil that is GRAS = generally regarded as safe? Be careful selecting oils...FDA can allow 80% synthetic ingredients to an oil labeled 100% natural! doTERRA is CPTG = certified pure therapeutic grade.  What does that mean? It means beyond organic, verified pure, free of fillers, pesticides and foreign contaminates. 

Purchase CPTG

Examples of areas dōTERRA® sources its oils: Lavender/France, Frankincense/Oman, Peppermint/Washington State, Lemon/Italy, Melaleuca/Australia, Oregano/ Turkey, Vetiver/Vietnam.

Keeping Mindful Awareness Present in Food Choices: Buyer Beware!

So, this morning after my yoga session I went to grab a bowl of cereal. My eyes scanned the pantry and saw the sweet temptation of the kid cereal laden with sugar, or so I thought.  I saw my Special K and decided to stick to my guns, but something made me pause.  I gazed at the side panel and began to peruse the ingredient list and a little disappointed in the amount of protein: 2 grams. It was the same as Captain Crunch! And then I looked further at the three cereal choices I had and the shock continued...
The Special K has a list on the front of the box (right corner hidden in picture) and it lists folic acid as a highlight.  Well, the so-called healthy cereal has 35%, Captain Crunch 100% and Mini Wheats 50%! I usually look at a few key areas: sugar, vitamins, fiber, protein and sometimes calories.

I can't believe I was duped! Darn you Special K!  I even eat that cereal because it reminds me of a dear friend, one of my special au pairs from Chile, Fernanda.
I know these are not organic and I strive to eat healthy, but I don't go overboard.  I am a pescetarian (I eat only fish, no other meat) and I do eat dairy, one of my favorite foods.  Well, cheese, that is.  I tried once to give it up and it lasted a day. I do not struggle with weight so I fear if I did give it up I would whither away.
Anyhow, the facts are out!  They have always been there just waiting for me to read them. Blatant. Good thing I use my certified pure therapeutic grade doTERRA essential oils for overall wellness!  I strengthen my immune system on a regular basis, detox and purify my home, life, studio, laundry and more!

Boost Your Mood Naturally

How, you ask? With these simple things listed below that we make so difficult or lose focus on because of our daily distractions. Life can through us curve balls , but with present moment awareness and a deeper respect for self and others (Yamas and Niyamas) we can cultivate a richer garden that yields beauty, love and peace!
During this season of change, let's ignite the natural fire that burns within us (Manipura chakra/energy center) and enjoy a blessed life.

1. Get a good nights sleep. Easier said than done, I know, but don't worry about the little things!
2. Make sunshine a part of your day. (It may appear to be hiding , but keep looking!)
3. Exercise regularly. Try yoga!
4. Introduce healthier food options. (Try a meatless Monday!)
5. Do something nice for someone; it feels so good!
6. Use essential oils daily; I love doTERRA!
7. Give positive thinking a try!
8. Find a quiet place and meditate; just close your eyes and breathe...
9. Achieve a goal, big or small. (Hint: make a list and cross off items when completed!)
10. Express gratitude daily. Imagine only having today what you were grateful for yesterday.

Sharing the Love: 2015 Bhakti Wellness Testimonial

I've been working with this student for almost a year now and her email to me today warmed my heart on this cold Michigan day! Makes me love what I do even more!

"I just want to personally thank you for all that you have done for me both physically and mentally. Yoga has been so wonderful to both my body and mind, I wish I would have found it and you sooner.

I am trying meditation on a regular basis and have found my spirit that has inspired me. I am constantly working on all my Chakras and feel that all my wheels are spinning at a good pace working together.

I AM SO HAPPY!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!"

Thank you,

Deanie

Love...why do you LOVE it?

Bhakti is a devotional practice simply described as a practice that is love centered around God. Even if you don't have a God, I'm sure your practice is devotional in some regard whether it be spiritual, peaceful or even physically centered on redefining your own body in strength, flexibility and balance.

As you develop your own yoga practice you come to love something about it.  Perhaps a particular asana or maybe just the time you take for yourself away from the daily grind. Take a moment on our Facebook page to share your "love story" in yoga. How has it changed you? When did you fall in love with it? What is your favorite asana?  What is your favorite essential oil?

I will pick one lucky winner to receive this Valentine treat of doTERRA products and samples. (ships to US address only)

For more information on doTERRA please visit my website or schedule your private yoga session to experience them first hand aromatically, topically and internally.

I hope your Valentine's Day is filled with lots of LOVE!

Namaste ~ MJ

Follow Your Heart This February #GoRedMi

February is the perfect time to focus on love.  As a bhakta, a devotee of God, I continue to focus my practice on this path, thus, the name Bhakti Wellness. Simply stated, God is Love and Love is God. Often it is simplicity that nurtures, heals and allows us to achieve our ultimate goal of peace and happiness.  For some, simplicity in the mind and heart is unattainable for they are tainted with ego and self preservation.
With inward reflection and increased mindfulness we can slowly begin to observe our own heart and the hearts of others, but the path is an arduous one for many.
Love is accessible to everyone: we all love someone or something, frequently with great intensity. Love makes us forget ourselves, our whole attention being devoted to the object of our adoration. The ego loosens its grip as we think of our beloved’s welfare more than our own. Love gives us concentration: even against our will, we constantly remember the object of our love. In an easy and totally painless way, love creates the preconditions necessary for a fruitful spiritual life. (Vedanta Society)

The path of love is not achieved by all, but we can take small steps toward this united goal of every religion or innate secular thought. For that reason (and a few others) I felt the need to share love this month to everyone by offering two donation based Yin Yoga classes Monday, February 9 and February 16 at 7pm. 100% of the donations will support the American Heart Association and the Go Red For Women campaign (Heart Heroes Team). Please RSVP  to reserve your space.
