It’s typical for a yoga enthusiast to squeeze in a session here and there; whenever a busy schedule mercifully permits. The result is often somewhat unsatisfactory and leaves you wanting more. One hour practices a couple times a week won’t allow for optimum relaxation when you’re running straight back to the rat race. The solution – a yoga retreat!

This will give your body the chance to soak in the revitalizing effects of yoga and get the opportunity to really delve into your soul, cleanse your mind and awaken energy that lies within.

Life is all about choices, as I was reminded the other morning in my CrossFit WOD (workout of the day). I was not “feeling it” that day and apparently it was noticed. As I was walking, dragging or limping out of the CrossFit box, a couple of my CrossFit buddies came out the door to remind me that today is all about choosing to have motivation. I had the morning to think about their encouragement… I needed it!

I would like to think that I have motivation and a great attitude at all times naturally. I am afraid my husband and little people in my house might disagree with that. Yet I believe that we do have to choose a better lifestyle when we aren’t “feeling it”. I often turn to my oils when I am feeling off. But on a constant and daily basis I know that our lack of nutrition from foods and environment often take a toll on our bodies and emotions. What we do to assist our bodies to stay healthy and younger, longer is up to us. A statement that is often used from doTERRA is this:

All of the oils assist in doing just that. I would say however, the one item that does it daily and quite sufficiently is the Long Life Vitality supplement pack. I have been taking these supplements for about a year now and completely love them. I know without a doubt when I have not been faithful about taking them. I feel it. My body feels it. And the people around probably know it too!!

The vitamin pack is made of 3 of the doTERRA supplement complexes:

1. ALPHA CRS+^® Cellular Vitality Complex

2. xEO MEGA^® Essential Oil Omega Complex 

3. MICROPLEX vMz^® Food Nutrient Complex 

Happy living! And if you aren’t feeling it today… CHOOSE Happy Living!

Ayurveda is a healing philosophy native to India. It is based on early literature from the Vedic period. Over the centuries, ayurvedic practitioners have developed medicinal procedures based on this philosophy.

Ayurveda is based on 5 elements including Ether, Earth, Water, Fire, and Air that compose both the universe and the human body.  These elements are grouped together to create three Doshas. Doshas are important because when they are in balance, the body will be healthy. When they are unbalanced, the body will be unhealthy.

Ayurvedic theory suggests that each human possesses a unique combination of the doshas and that they define the person’s character and attributes. Think of it as the grandfather philosophy of all of the personality type studies in modern times.

The Pitta Dosha is Fire and Water. The Kapha Dosha is Earth and Ether. The Vata Dosha is Ether and Air. A person can be strong in any one dosha but have attributes of all doshas.

Want to discover your prominent dosha? Take this [dosha test] from Whats Your Dosha, a great resource to learn more about Ayurveda and Dosha. 

Once you know what your dosha is, you can begin to help keep yourself in balance through following the aryuvedic principles for proper eating, exercise, & meditation. Essential oils also also recommended to help keep your dosha in balance.

doTERRA’s certified pure therapeutic grade oils can be used to help balance the Doshas:

Pitta Dosha: Associated with the elements of fire and water, pittas are passionate and intense. They have a joyful disposition but they are subject to anger, jealousy, and short tempers when unbalanced. There is often a need to cool off and clarity the mind.

If you are a Pitta type, you may need calming and cooling oils to keep the fire element balanced. Oils such as Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang, and Lavender would be great for cooling and calming. Oils such as Grapefruit, Sweet Orange, and Lavender would be good for a refreshing massage. doTERRA’s Citrus Bliss Blend and Serenity Blend would be perfect for the Pitta type. As well as Lavender single oil. You can purchase all three Pitta Balancing Oils for $66.00 Wholesale or $88.00 Retail.

Vata Dosha: Associated with the elements of ether and air, vata types are quick thinking, thin, and fast moving. They are active and creative and have a natural ability to communicate. When unbalanced, vatas can have high anxiety and fast moving emotions.

If you are the Vata type, you may need oils that help to ground, balance, and warm your dosha. Oils such as basil, cypress, frankincense, geranium, and rosewood will help the vata stay balanced. doTERRA’s Whisper Blend and Balance Blend as well as Geranium single oil would be a good fit for Vata types. The Vata Balancing Kit is $71 with a Wholesale Membership or $94.67 Retail.

Kapha Dosha: Associated with the elements of earth and water, kappa types are patient, forgiving and slow to anger. They are loving and become easily attached. When they are unbalanced, kaphas can become lazy or stubborn as well as greedy.

If you are the Kapha type, you may need oils to help help lift and stimulate. Oils such as rosemary, eucalyptus, marjoram, melissa, lemon, peppermint would help you stay balanced. doTERRA has two great blends for the Kapha type. Elevation Blend to lift you up and Breathe Blend to clear the air passages. Grapefruit single oil would also be an excellent to help with balance. The Kapha Balancing Kit is available for $73.00 Wholesale or $97.33 Retail.

A Wholesale Membership is $35 to enroll and you’ll get wholesale pricing on all doTERRA products

A great way to improve your health and well being is through chakra balancing. The use of essential oils is one way to achieve this balance. We use Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade doTERRA Essential Oils and like to think of it as taking vitamins for your chakras. They give your body a boost and help blocked or unbalanced chakras heal. Anyone can learn how to do this centuries old technique.

What are chakras? Chakras are centers of energy located all over our body. We have seven major chakras located along our spine to the crown of the head. They are responsible for directing the flow of energy through our bodies. Our chakras may either be open or closed, depending on our mental, physical, and spiritual state at any given time.

Every feeling and all of our senses are integrated with a different chakra. Each chakra is linked to a different part of the endocrine system. When we experience stress or other environmental factors, the chakras can become blocked making our bodies natural energies work too hard. Blocked chakras can manifest in physical, emotional, or spiritual issues. Keeping the chakras open and balanced keeps our energies flowing correctly and can help keep us healthy.

Many, I am sure, pop a couple of Aleve, or something likewise. If you would ask my husband, he would be the first to tell you that this is not me. I very, very rarely turn to Tylenol, Advil or Aleve to help manage my “pain”. I really haven’t ever used pills like this, and since discovering doTERRA essential oils I am so happy that I can now assist my muscles in the recovery process naturally, with the added benefit of reducing the uncomfortableness of pushing myself. Now on to what has worked for me…

Deep Blue Rub. This doTERRA product is fantastic. I can not tell you enough how much I love the rub and the oil. The most effect and immediate relief for me is to rub just a little (you don’t need much!) on the effected area and jump in the shower! Water intensifies the oils, sometimes this is may be to a disadvantage, but I am using to my advantage here!! Immediately I am feel less stiff and able to increase my range of motion or activity. This has the same effect if you put the oil on as you are sweating or know you are about to put yourself through a sweat fest… Everyone LOVES some good hot yoga!!!

Peppermint. This is one of my absolute favorite oils and I use either on myself, my husband or my kids every day. For these purposes however, it is a great oil to drop on the muscle area real quick. I like to use this option especially first thing in the morning. The peppermint is great to lift your energy and gets me up and going.

Lemongrass. My wonderful friend Lisa taught me this one. While on a weekend visit with her, I had over done it with my back. I also had spent about 30 hours (not exaggerating here. Seriously 30 hours) in the car in a short span of time. She suggested that I apply some lemongrass to my back as this oil is an anti-inflammatory along with helping in repairing ligaments and other tissue repair. I woke up the next morning feeling like a champ! And then jumped back in the car for another 6 hours. But I was at least not feeling stiff and cramped up following that trip!

Wintergreen. Although you may smell like a piece of gum or tube of toothpaste using this one, it is fantastic! This is another oil I turn to when I know I have totally gone beyond where I should have. Wintergreen is another anti-inflammatory oil and warms the area of application nicely. This is also a great oil for joint pain and muscle development. I have used wintergreen on my quad muscles which included my hips and knees. I will place a warning on this one, simply from my experience. Not a grand idea to put on and then head out to hot yoga. I knew better. Really I did. But me wanting relief trumped my knowledge that I told you about earlier… Yes, even sweat intensifies the oils. Oops! But hey! The yoga class may have gotten a little benefit as I walked in! Sometimes those hot yoga bodies can get a little skunky!!

There are so many more ideas out there! Share them in the comments box if you would like! In my studying I have come across some oils to help with muscle toning (Birch)! Will be trying that one out for sure!! I will let you know what I find!

Live Strong~ Kamille

With it being the beginning of April, doTERRA has announced the 10% off product along with their oil of the month. This month Zendocrine detoxifying complex is 10% off this month. And when an order of 125 PV (point value) is placed on a Loyalty Rewards Order before the 15th and you’ll get a FREE 15ml bottle of Lime. I use the Lime essential oil in many of recipes and most frequently in my fresh guacamole! YUMMM!!! Can’t keep my hands out of it!

I have been challenged with and studying to begin a cleanse in the coming weeks. There are so many various ideas of the best way to go about cleanse our bodies. Being a very active and athletic person, I wanted to be sure to do what is best and healthiest for my active lifestyle. And what do you know??!! doTERRA came along and decided to offer the Zendocrine complex 10% off! While doing my searching and studying, I became very frustrated with not finding a whole lot of information using oils, not herbal means, and a good wholesome nutritional plan. With two small children there is no way I am going to be able to function while being low on energy. I think I have found my plan of attack! I am currently reading through Clean by Dr. Alejandro Junger. So far I found this book to be extremely insightful into the Western way of living. While I go through this cleansing process, I am wanting to keep the information flowing on here.

Can’t wait to share this specific and the doTERRA journey with you!
