Healthy soil and sustainable growing

Pete,

I'm very sorry for your loss.  I'm studying essential oils and am now a CARE 
Intern with www.raindroptraining.com.   Many things we inhale are quite 
damaging to the brain, combine this with ingested toxins such as 
pharmaceuticals -- many OTC pharmaceuticals are also mind-altering.  Dr. Ann 
Blake Tracey's got some excellent material out there about this:  
www.drugawareness.org  there are some training CD's at 
www.abundanthealth4u.com also.   I just wrote this for my facebook friends:

Essential Oils and the Limbic Center

Before experiencing such healing in my own brain and heart from Young Living 
oils (Raindrop and 12 scripture oils specifically), I really had no clue or 
care about the limbic center of the brain. Now, I can't study enough about 
this region of the brain! 

The OKC Metro friends of the library booksale yielded my latest awesome 
bargain book: Understanding Pathophysiology. Last year's sale allowed me to 
buy a wonderful anatomy book and this one is totally complementary. 

When you inhale a pure therapeutic grade essential oil, the olfactory bulb is 
taking those frequency filled/info carrying molecules straight into the 
limbic center of your brain. Likewise, smelling toxic chemicals is also 
delivering them straight to this region! So, having heard this already in eo 
classes, it's been on my mind to study what this means and why it's so 
important. 

All the other senses are wired into the intellectual part of the brain, while 
smell goes to the limbic center... 
p. 295 of Understanding Pathophysiology tells us " The Limbic system 
(emotional brain) is composed primarily of structures surrounding the corpus 
callosum and parts of the diencephalon. Though it has primary connects with 
other parts of the brain, notably the thalamus, fornix, septal nucleau, 
amygdaloid nucleus (the tip of the caudatus nucleus, one of the the cerebral 
nuclei), and the hypothalamus, the limbic system is involved principally with 
primitive behavioral responses, visceral reaction to emotion, feeding 
behaviors, biologic rhythms, and the sense of smell. Expressions of affect 
(emotional and behavioral states) are mediated by extensive connections with 
the limbic system and prefrontal cortex. 

Now think about all the functions connected just with the Hypothalamus: 

Visceral and somatic responses 
affectual responses 
hormone sythesis 
autonomic nervous system activity 
temperature regulation 
feeding responses 
physical expression of emotions 
sexual behavior 
pleasure-punishment centers 
level of arousal or wakefulness 

Many people report sleeping better and feeling more refreshed upon awakening 
after even just one raindrop. The first time I diffused Inner Child, I found 
myself laughing at everything by evening and I am able to see the humorous 
side to many things since then. 

I love it that Young Living offers a 1/2 off coupon for a diffuser with their 
Start Living kits, so people get an amazing value there on a delivery system 
for the oils and an air purifier at the same time. 

Now off to get get my diffuser running with some hyssop and eucalytpus - 
today's experimental blend :) 

Blessings and Health!
