A Question is Better Asked

Years ago when I was beginning to share essential oils with people it was incredibly difficult for me to explain how they worked. Studied as much as any woman with a pack of kids, who home schooled them all and had a full time hair business could study- I found some powerful answers that seemed to assuage my wonderings.

Still, there were those who were more learned than me and asked harder questions.

For example, one chiropractor asked "well yea, but how can an essential oil manipulate the body the way a chiro does, how can this drop do what we do?"

I mean, fair question.

With all due respect to those in this profession, or any med type profession for that matter, the better question we all ought to ask ourselves is "how can a human manipulate the body in a way that God's medicines do?"

For years I steered away from talking about the power of these essential oils out of fear and frankly, intimidation, deeming it in my mind, irresponsible to suggest an alternative to something that a licensed pro ought to do.

I suppose 2020 shed that mindset though since literally anyone can suggest, or rather mandate folks take something.

I digress.

I suppose what is reasonable is that we share timeless truths about essential oils which were created to heal the body in the first place. My suggestions are not THE way, but always simply, A way.

These drops are certainly power packed. It's quite obvious when you offer an oil to a friend, and see their expression demonstrating their experience. You begin to know a lot about a person based on their reaction to the oil you just shared.

I do feel a little guilty sometimes because if I offer someone say, Lavender, and they recoil at its aroma, I immediately know they have had abandonment issues. It's like reading someone's mail without their permission. At least it gives me a way to pray for them. Conversely, I feel ecstatic when I share Stress Away and the comment is invariably, "I could crawl in the bottle and sleep for days!" I know immediately we have pinpointed the issue and found a stunning solution.

This oil I mentioned, nicknamed Chiropractor in a bottle, is quite a potent one, yet so unassuming in its scent and feel. It's gentle, sweet and goes straight into your bones. In doing so it breathes life to the bones causing the most timid child and shaky person to rise up to their full height with great courage.

It only makes sense that this oil would be used on the spine, along the jaw should you be one to clench the jaw and over the shoulders when in need of bolstering your strength and resolve.

In this month of Mental Health Awareness, understand that our God, while promising a couple of trials along the way, never meant for us to live with max capacity emotionally strife.

Quite the opposite.

Remember the stat of Gen X and then Gen Z racing for top spot in suicide rates? Consider this, and ask the question, what did God provide for us in His creation that could shift this emotion out?
