People explore essential oils for many reasons and frequently claim that their lives are changed. I have to say that I have been avoiding essential oils for about 3 years. My rational mind found it difficult to believe that aroma could profoundly impact a person. It seems silly that I had this notion...just ask anyone who had their day changed after their dog had an encounter with a skunk!
So why did I get started now?
I have been working part-time juggling a job in a hospital with benefits, teaching yoga & offering massage therapy. After 7 years, I was beginning to burn out. I scheduled a trip to Kripalu to recharge at the KYTA conference & was really looking forward to reconnecting with the energy that got me on the path to healing arts in the first place.
A few days before the conference, I was doing chair massage at a health fair. I didn't want to go. I really considered going home for a nap, but I went anyway. I set up next to a former colleague who was selling Young Living Essential Oils. I tried some "joy" on my wrists & neck, "deep relief" on my forarm, and drank some lemon infused water. I felt better. My colleage & I discussed how I could use the oils in my massage practice & yoga classes. I decided in that moment to enroll as an independent distributor. Let the journey begin....
Am I a follower? No wonder people don't follow blogs- its not straight forward!!
