Happier Days

Joy, this has been the miracle oil for me and probably the main reason I dove head first in afterwards.  Let me paint you a small picture here; the past year .... maybe even longer I had been almost defeated due to health problems and having some chronic pain issues. I want to say right now, that was no excuse for how I had began to treat the people around me. Including the ones closest to me as I feel they had the brunt of that. I was short, meaner with comments, very little interest or empathy. I would ignore people and gave off a generally mean demeanor. Along with that, my poor husband, I would have emotional outbursts that looking back make me cringe.
 
I always thought I was angry .... all of those descriptions sound angry don't they. Well, when I first bought my essential oils kit it came with the essentials oil blend called Joy. I read that it can help with depression by putting it on your wrists and over your heart. The first night I did it, I couldn't believe how easy it became to smile. All I could think that night was how sad I had been because I couldn't help but become so happy about everything around me. I went to work the next day and remember telling my friend "I never realized had been so sad".
 
Well - its been about two months or so. I think the people around me would agree that a lot has changed. 

I now use Joy twice a day:
 
2 drops on the right wrist and then rub both together 
2 drops over the heart 
 
I also use it in a emergency anxiety blend:
 
10 drops Joy
10 drops Lavender
10 drops Release
10 drops Orange
Fill rest w/ carrier Oil
 
*I will roll is on my wrists and neck when life throws that lovely curveball that tends to be on fire.
 
 *I prefer roller balls but you can use this same mix and I would suggest starting with 2-3 drops on one wrist then rub both together and then if needed, 1-2 drops on back on neck

A friend of mine was going through a rough time in a relationship and so I looked around on Pinterest and found that there are properties in a few different oils that promote happiness. I decided to throw a small blend together for her.

20 drop of Lavender
15 drop Joy
10 drop Frankincense
10 drop of Orange
fill rest w/ carrier oil (5ml bottle)

Told her to apply 2-3drops on wrist rub together or 2 drops in palm and inhale. She loved the smell!!!! We can all use a pick me up when it comes to shots to the heart.

I am still experimenting at this point but so far - Joy, there is always a place for you in my heart! Thanks for listening - I'll be back!
