Welcome to November!

The sesons of fesitivites is slowly beginning, the frosts come more regularly and the palette of leaves on the ground is glorious. 

November has is beauty and its message -- the days draw in and darkness is early. 

We find ourselves giving thanks and preparing for more cold and damp to come. We are lucky to live in warmth and light inside. 

And November gives us time. Time to ponder. Time to dream. Time to really get clear on what is important in our lives and where our focus needs to be. 

This month, spend some time considering your wellness and where you can support yourself better. Take time to rest and allow your body to decompress. Long, dark nights are perfect for introspection so take the time to examine your thoughts and how those thoughts impact your goals. 

Let's allow ourselves a moment to breath in the deep crisp air of November and use it to heal.

End-of-Year Introspection: Taking a Break to Feel Good

                                       
A personal year-end introspection is an opportunity to observe the progress made and to reflect on what has been learned in order to move forward. In the end, it provides a clearer vision of our goals and what makes us feel good.

It’s not always easy to give yourself time to rest and reflect, especially when taking care of a loved one and when our daily lives are already busy. Let’s say, first, that doing a retrospect is by no means an obligation and, second, that you don’t have to follow a specific model if you want to do one. Karine prefers to write a long letter that she keeps and reads the next year. Claire escapes into nature for a few hours to walk and reflect. Guillaume does his year-end review in the form of a conversation with his family over a fondue.

If you’re up for it, here are some things to think about. Feel free to add your own to it.
                                           

How to prepare a year-end introspection?

Here are some things to consider in order to be well prepared:
  • Set aside a time frame of about 1 to 2 hours and put it in your agenda;
  • Sit in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed or distracted;
  • Equip yourself with writing materials: paper and pencil or computer.


What questions should you ask yourself?

Here are some sample questions to guide you in your reflection and help you take stock.
  • What are the events, big or small, for which I’m grateful?
  • What went less well?
  • What made me feel good?
  • What am I proud of?
  • What did I learn?
  • Who are the important people around me?


Look to the future

The year-end introspection also allows us to project ourselves into the future. Here are some sample questions to guide you in your reflection:
  • What could I change to feel better physically and mentally?
  • What do I want to learn, improve this year?
  • What do I want to move towards?
As you review your daily life, think about situations or habits that are draining your energy (insufficient sleep or exercise level, overwork, lack of support, etc.). Also, think about what helps you get better when you’re going through some tough times.

Specify one or two actions that would help your balance. For example, if the time spent in front of a screen in the evening proves to be harmful to your sleep, resolve to disconnect 1 hour before bed and indulge in a quieter activity.

Self-Reflection Questions for Introspection

18 Dec 2017 by  Courtney E. Ackerman, MA.

What Is the Importance of Introspection?

introspection self-reflection worksheets and toolsSo, why is introspection important?
Researchers have shown that we think more than 50,000 thoughts per day, of which more than half are negative and more than 90% are just repeats from the day before (Wood, 2013).

If you don’t make the time and effort to refocus your mind on the positive through introspection, you won’t give yourself the opportunity to grow and develop.

Enhancing our ability to understand ourselves and our motivations and to learn more about our own values helps us take the power away from the distractions of our modern, fast-paced lives and instead refocus on fulfillment (Wood, 2013).

The importance of doing it right
Reflecting on ourselves and our environments is a healthy and adaptive practice, but it should be undertaken with some care—there is, in fact, a wrong way to do it.

When your focus on introspection has morphed from a dedication to an obsession, you have taken it too far. In fact, those who take self-reflection too far can end up feeling more stressed, depressed, and anxious than ever (Eurich, 2017).

In addition, it is all too easy for us to fool ourselves into thinking we have found some deep insight that may or may not be accurate. We are surprisingly good at coming up with rational explanations for the irrational behaviors we engage in (Dahl, 2017).

To help stay on the right path with your self-reflection, consider asking more “what” questions than “why” questions. “Why” questions can highlight our limitations and stir up negative emotions, while “what” questions help keep us curious and positive about the future (Eurich, 2017).

With this important point in mind, let’s move on to the questions, exercises, and worksheets that you can use to work on your own self-reflection.

70 Self-Reflective Questions to Ask Yourself

What is the Importance of Introspection? self-reflectionThere are nearly endless questions, prompts, and ideas you can use to take a self-reflection break. Some of these can be asked, answered, and addressed every day, while others may best be saved for occasional self-reflection.

Read through the following three lists to get some ideas for introspective questions. Answering them can take you from feeling like you don’t understand yourself to knowing yourself like the back of your hand.
These 10 questions are great ways to jumpstart self-reflection (Woronko, n.d.):

Am I using my time wisely?
  1. Am I taking anything for granted?
  2. Am I employing a healthy perspective?
  3. Am I living true to myself?
  4. Am I waking up in the morning ready to take on the day?
  5. Am I thinking negative thoughts before I fall asleep?
  6. Am I putting enough effort into my relationships?
  7. Am I taking care of myself physically?
  8. Am I letting matters that are out of my control stress me out?
  9. Am I achieving the goals that I’ve set for myself?
The following 30 questions are questions you can ask yourself every day to get to know yourself better (William, n.d.):

  1. Who am I, really?
  2. What worries me most about the future?
  3. If this were the last day of my life, would I have the same plans for today?
  4. What am I really scared of?

  10. Have I done anything lately that’s worth remembering?
  11. Have I made someone smile today?
  12. What have I given up on?
  13. When did I last push the boundaries of my comfort zone?
  14. If I had to instill one piece of advice in a newborn baby, what advice would I give?
  15. What small act of kindness was I once shown that I will never forget?
  16. How will I live, knowing I will die?
  17. What do I need to change about myself?
  18. Is it more important to love or be loved?
  19. How many of my friends would I trust with my life?
  20. Who has had the greatest impact on my life?
  21. Would I break the law to save a loved one?
  22. Would I steal to feed a starving child?
  23. What do I want most in life?
  24. What is life asking of me?
  25. Which is worse: failing or never trying?
  26. If I try to fail and succeed, what have I done?
  27. What’s the one thing I’d like others to remember about me at the end of my life?
  28. Does it really matter what others think about me?
  29. To what degree have I actually controlled the course of my life?
  30. When all is said and done, what will I have said more than I’ve done?
Finally, the following 30 prompts and questions are great ways to put your journal to use (Tartakovsky, 2014):

  1. My favorite way to spend the day is . . .
  2. If I could talk to my teenage self, the one thing I would say is . . .
  3. The two moments I’ll never forget in my life are . . . (Describe them in great detail, and what makes them so unforgettable.)

  5. “Write about a moment experienced through your body. Making love, making breakfast, going to a party, having a fight, an experience you’ve had or you imagine for your character. Leave out thought and emotion, and let all information be conveyed through the body and senses.”

November's Featured Recipe

Vitamin C


Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and one of the most important vitamins required by our bodies. Super C™ not only contains 2,166% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C per serving (2 tablets), but it is also fortified with rutin, citrus bioflavonoids and minerals to balance electrolytes and enhance the effectiveness and absorption of vitamin C.* 

An indispensable supplement, Super C™ offers head-to-toe benefits. In additional to helping our bodies maintain healthy bones, hair, nails and skin, it is a valuable source of essential vitamins and minerals our bodies need to perform its daily functions. The ingredients in Super C™ play an important role in normal immune and circulatory functions, help to strengthen connective tissues, and promote overall health, vitality, and longevity.

*Because our bodies cannot manufacture vitamin C, we can benefit by consuming this powerful antioxidant daily.

Here are some other suggestions from YL on using Grapefruit Vitality:
• Bring some zest to your marinades, dressings, sauces, and desserts with this fresh, citrusy favorite.

Plus, with wet shoes, boots, and clothes making their way inside this time of year bringing unwanted odors, Citrus Fresh will help cleanse the air with a fresh, clean scent when diffused! Here are a few more tips from YL:
• Freshen your space with the sweet aroma of Citrus Fresh essential oil blend. Add a few drops onto cotton balls and stash them in drawers, in air vents, under garbage cans, and in shoes for a quick boost of freshness.
• Apply generous drops to your pots and pans, grills, or any sticky, greasy grime.

🫁 R.C. 15ml (300 PV)
R.C. is a refreshing, Eucalyptus forward blend that is great for helping us breathe easier this season. Use it in your diffuser (I love adding a drop or two of Lemon) or rub it on your chest and neck with a carrier oil after a workout to help ease your hard-working respiratory system.
• Take a breather amid the holiday chaos with R.C.'s refreshing aroma.
• Use R.C. with V-6 for a foot or back massage after your gym routine, outdoor adventure, or yoga practice to enjoy a refreshing scent.

Let’s Teach Kids to Introspect

Why we need introspection in our curriculums



Ally Sprague
Sep 22, 2019


When did you realize that you had a mind?

I was 22. I had just graduated college and moved to New York. I felt underwhelmed by my job and my social life, and I was passively searching for something, anything, that would make me feel more alive.

I grew up going to church, and though I’d wandered away as an adult, I figured I’d try searching for fulfillment there. In the pews I had my realization: I wasn’t there for the sermons or to develop my faith in a greater being. I was there to listen to myself.

Behind the buzz of the pastor’s voice and the hum of the psalms, I discovered a world within my mind where I could explore my opinions, perspectives, reactions, reactions to reactions, feelings, and everything that made me, well, me.

As I explored, I slowly gained the confidence to start pushing past my mental obstacles.
Instead of convincing myself that I actually did like my job because it was a “good learning experience” where I was “moving up the ladder,” I’d forge ahead to the truth behind it — no matter how much I moved up, this industry was going to keep making me feel empty.

Instead of telling myself I was just an introvert and I wouldn’t feel satisfied with a social life of any kind, I’d dig further to consider how I’d spend my ideal weekend — the types of conversations I’d have and activities I’d do.

These conversations with myself were scary — they stole my complacency and comfort — but as the learnings poured in, I started making progress towards a more fulfilling life. I became curious about myself; open to changing things, learning things, trying things. And some of those things were blissfully right for me.

When I think about how long it took me to start practicing introspection, I’m alarmed. For two entire decades I ignored the majority of my internal dialogue.

Why?

No one teaches us that our inner-world is worth exploring beyond the child’s play of imaginary house, and in my case, nothing triggered me to realize it on my own.
Even if we are lucky enough to realize it, no one teaches us how to do it.

Over the years I’ve built infrastructure around my introspection — I see a psychoanalyst, I meditate, I write. But it took a lot of trial and error to build a routine that works for me, and I almost quit multiple times along the way.

I want it to be easier for today’s kids.

I want them to learn to introspect like they learn science or math, or like they learn to brush their teeth.

I want them to have introspection coaches the way they have soccer coaches.

I want them to take a “Self” class where they learn the science of our minds — lessons from psychology, biology, neuroscience. And how to practice introspection by exploring, accepting and working with our minds.

I want them to grow up knowing the entire menu of introspection support available to them — therapy, meditation, journaling, religion, exercise, etc..

When they are navigating increasingly nuanced social lives in middle school, I want them to learn how to recognize their feelings and process them.

When they’re finding a job after college, I want them to learn to push past mental obstacles to consider what might make them feel fulfilled, rather than successful.

Perhaps you, unlike me, have always been introspective and have always known how to introspect in a way that works for you. If that’s the case, I’d love to learn from you! My guess, though, is that the vast majority of us need help exploring our minds. And learning how to do so at a young age will unlock even greater potential, freedom and fulfillment in our lives.

So, back to the original question: when did you realize you had a mind?

20? 30? 60? Perhaps just now?

Let’s help today’s kids get there sooner than we did.

Welcome to October!

Fall is well and truly upon us. Days are cooler,nights are cooler. Many of us have already had the first frosts of the season.

October is the month of final harvests, a full on feast, and us drawing ever more inside for our days. If we are truly lucky, we get days of crisp sunshine and crackling leaves, just long enough to finish preparing the yard for winter and its deep sleep. 

The routine for the next few months is now set and it is time to find joy and peace in the regularity and comforting repetition. It is also the month feasts and of ghouls and goblins so no time like now to prepare for the effect overindulgences can have on our well-being!

Our inside environments become even more important during these shortening days so lets do what we can to make our homes the centre of peace in our lives.

Light and Sleep - A Critical Relationship

Light is the most important external factor affecting sleep. While most people intuitively know that it’s easier to sleep when it’s dark, the link between light and sleep goes much deeper.

Light plays a central role in regulating circadian rhythm, the body’s internal clock that signals when to be alert and when to rest. Light also affects the production of melatonin, an essential sleep-promoting hormone.

Daily light exposure, including the type of light we see as well as when and how long we’re exposed to it, has a critical effect on sleep. Learning about the complex links between light and sleep allows you to set up your bedroom to be more conducive to consistent, high-quality sleep.

How Does Light Affect Sleep?

While human biology evolved with sleep following the daily patterns of sunlight and darkness, ubiquitous electricity makes 24/7 illumination possible. From streetlights to office lighting to cell phones, artificial light is a constant part of modern life and has dramatic effects on sleep, influencing circadian rhythm, melatonin production, and sleep cycles.

Circadian Rhythms

Circadian rhythm is a 24-hour internal clock that coordinates a wide range of processes in the body, including sleep. This rhythm is controlled by a small part of the brain, known as the circadian pacemaker, that is powerfully influenced by light exposure.

When light enters the eye, it is sensed by a special group of cells on the retina, which is carried to the brain and interpreted as information about the time of day. The brain then sends signals  throughout the body to control organs and other systems in accordance with that time of day.

When exposed to only natural light, a person’s circadian rhythm becomes closely synchronized with sunrise and sunset, staying awake during the day and sleeping when it’s dark. In modern society, though, electricity creates an abundance of light sources that affect the brain’s circadian pacemaker.

Excess or poorly timed artificial light exposure can cause a person’s circadian rhythm to be misaligned with the day-night schedule. This can throw their sleep out-of-whack and induce other concerning health impacts including worsened metabolism, weight gain, cardiovascular problems, and perhaps even an  elevated cancer risk. Circadian rhythms are also strongly correlated to mood, mental health, and seasonal affective disorder. 
An image of the light spectrum and explanation that hues of red, orange, and yellow are better for preparing the mind and body for sleep.

Melatonin

Melatonin is a hormone that is naturally made by the body, and its production is closely tied to light. In response to darkness, the pineal gland in the brain  initiates production of melatonin, but light exposure slows or halts that production.

Drowsiness increases with rising melatonin levels, which is one way that this hormone facilitates sleep. In addition, daily cycles of melatonin production normalize circadian rhythm, reinforcing a stable sleep-wake schedule. For some people with sleeping problems supplemental melatonin may be prescribed to help regulate sleep timing.

Sleep Cycles

Not all sleep has the same characteristics. In a normal sleep period, a person goes through four to six sleep cycles, each of which lasts from 70 to 120 minutes. Those cycles are made up of multiple stages of sleep, including both rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM sleep.
Light exposure at night can hinder transitions between sleep cycles, reducing the quality of sleep. Too much light can cause repeated awakenings, interrupting the sleep cycle and reducing time spent in deeper, more restorative sleep stages.

Circadian Rhythm Disorders

Circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders occur when a person’s internal clock isn’t functioning properly or becomes misaligned with their environment. Many circadian rhythm disorders are tied to patterns of light exposure.

Jet Lag

Jet lag is a circadian disorder that arises after long-distance plane travel. When confronted with the distinct day-night cycle in the arrival city’s time zone, circadian rhythm can get thrown off-kilter. As a result, a person may struggle to fall asleep, wake up earlier than they want to, or experience excessive daytime sleepiness.

Addressing jet lag usually means acclimating to the new time zone, such as by getting daylight exposure at specific times and avoiding light at certain times to realign circadian rhythm. This process can take several days and up to two weeks.

Shift Work Disorder

Some work schedules, known as shift work, require working into the evening or overnight. Night shifts may be an everyday part of a job or part of a rotating schedule. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics estimates that around  16% of workersin America have evening or overnight shifts.

Shift workers typically have to sleep during the daytime, putting them at high risk of a misaligned circadian rhythm and the development of shift work disorder. This circadian rhythm disorder can cause insufficient sleep, excessive sleepiness at inopportune times, mood problems, and elevated risk of workplace accidents.

Other Circadian Sleep-Wake Disorders

Circadian rhythm disorders can happen when a person’s internal clock gets shifted too far forward or back or if it fails to follow a stable 24-hour schedule. These problems are frequently connected to a person’s daily behavior and light exposure.

One treatment for many circadian disorders is  light therapy, which uses sitting close to a high-powered lamp at scheduled times to retrain the body’s internal clock. The strong lamp is meant to mimic daylight and is often used in the morning to normalize circadian timing.

What Types of Light Affect Sleep?

Virtually all light can affect sleep, but not all types of light have the same impact. Daylight, which in direct sunlight has up to 10,000 lux, a unit to  measure illuminance, is far more intense than even bright office lighting, which rarely reaches about 500 lux. For this reason, daylight is a profound influence on sleep and circadian timing.

There can be important differences between types of artificial light as well. Some types have more illuminance and brightness. That said, even light that appears to have the same brightness may, in reality, have a different wavelength, changing how it’s perceived by the eye and brain.

For example, blue light has a short wavelength and is emitted by many LEDs. Studies have found that it has a significantly larger effect on  melatonin and circadian rhythm than light with a longer wavelength. Many electronic devices, including cell phones, tablets, and laptops, emit blue light, and their extensive evening use can  contribute to sleep problems.

Is It Best to Sleep in Complete Darkness?

As a general rule, it is best to sleep in as much darkness as possible. Pitch darkness reduces potential distractions and disruptions to sleep. Sleeping with a light on interferes with sleep cycles and causes more fragmented sleep, and these downsides may be greatest in the few hours before waking up.

Research demonstrates that  closing your eyes isn’t enough; your eyelids can’t block sufficient light. The effects on circadian rhythm can occur even with low levels of indoor light and closed eyes.
In addition to sleep quality, there are other reasons why research indicates that it’s best to sleep in pitch darkness:
  • Eye strain: Even low levels of ambient light during sleep have been  associated with eye strain, resulting in soreness, tiredness, and discomfort in the eyes, as well as greater difficulty focusing.
  • Weight gain: Keeping lights on during sleep appears to affect circadian regulation of metabolism, increasing the risk of weight gain even if sleep itself is not disrupted. In one study over a five year period, women who slept with a light or TV on were  considerably more likely to gain 10 pounds or more, even after controlling for factors relating to their diet and exercise habits.
  • Cancer risk: One observational study  found an association between people whose homes had high levels of artificial light at night and their risk of breast and prostate cancers. This study did not demonstrate causation, and further research is necessary to understand this correlation.
The diverse potential consequences of excess artificial light in your bedroom reflect that light exposure may throw off circadian rhythm and its vital role in promoting numerous elements of physical and mental health.

How Can You Adjust Your Bedroom Environment to Get the Best Sleep?  

A first step in setting up your bedroom to promote sleep is to make it as dark as possible. Blackout curtains block the majority of external light to foster a darker environment.

When preparing for bed, keep your lights dim. Using a small, low-power lamp can help transition to bedtime and pitch darkness. Low illuminance and warm color temperature may help with relaxation and getting into the right mindset for sleep.

Another step is to reduce or eliminate technology in your bedroom. Screen time can keep your mind stimulated, delaying bedtime, and, at the same time, the light can disrupt circadian timing, melatonin production, and overall sleep. 

If you can’t get electronics completely out of your bedroom, turn their brightness down as far as possible, try not to use them before bedtime, and keep them silenced during the night. 

Lighting a Path to the Bathroom 

For many adults, especially older adults at risk of falls, it’s important to be able to see where they are walking when going to the bathroom at night. To address this, first ensure that the floor is free of tripping hazards like rugs or cords. Motion-activated lights for hallways or the bathroom can deliver low levels of light only when it’s necessary rather than throughout the night.

Wearing an Eye Mask

Sometimes another person wants to keep the TV or a light on, preventing you from sleeping in the dark. Having a conversation about keeping the bedroom dark may or, if they insist on having a light or the TV on, it should be kept at the lowest brightness setting.If the light is still bothersome, you may get relief by wearing a close-fitting eye mask. Some evidence indicates that an eye covering can  contribute to improved sleep quality 

Changing the Settings on Your Electronics

If you doze off with the TV on, it continues generating artificial light in your bedroom during the night. The most sure-fire way to resolve this is to remove the TV from your bedroom. If that’s not practical, check if your TV has a sleep timer to automatically turn off after a period of time. If not, schedule a “lights out” time to shut off the TV each night, and use that as a way to establish a consistent bedtime.Staring at a cellphone screen before bed has also become more commonplace. Make it a routine to minimize electronic use two to three hours before bedtime. Special glasses can filter blue light to keep it from reaching your eye, which may cut down on the effect of  blue light on your sleep View Source . Many phones and tablets have a “night mode” to reduce blue light, although the stimulation from screen time may still affect sleep. If you need to use devices before bed, try out one of several smartphone and computer applications that can help reduce blue light emission

Diffuse Essential Oils that Promote Relaxation and Sleep

Many essential oil are known to help promote relaxation and sleep. Cedarwood, Lavender, Vetiver, and others create a calming environment and diffusing them overnight can help you get to sleep and stay asleep. 

Many diffusers have timed settings so look to using those to help promote your sleep.

Using Essential Oils to Help You Sleep Better
    
If you’ve ever used blackout shades or listened to mellow bedtime music, you already know that sight and sound can be your tickets to dreamland. But have you tried using your sense of smell to get better sleep? That’s where aromatherapy comes in.
Aromatherapy is a therapeutic technique that involves breathing in or topically applying highly concentrated oils. These oils, also known as essential oils, are extracted from the flowers, roots, leaves, or seeds of plants. It takes pounds and pounds of flowers to make one bottle of essential oil.
“Scents used in aromatherapy prompt our nervous system to transmit signals to the limbic system in the brain,” says Holly Schiff, Ph.D., a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in sleep. “This is the same part of the brain that houses emotion and memory. So, you can condition your brain to sleep with a certain kind of scent.”
Aside from its cozy vibes, aromatherapy can be an invaluable tool for quieting distracting thoughts and getting some shut-eye — and there are plenty of ways to try it for yourself at home.

Methods of aromatherapy to try

There are several ways to experiment with aromatherapy, and explore the sleep benefits the fragrances could offer. Read on for expert-approved aromatherapy methods that can improve your sleep quality.

Diffusers and misters

If you love the idea of being surrounded by a strong smell that takes your brain far away, an essential oil diffuser might be just what you’re looking for. Diffusers are ideal for helping you sleep because they’re long-lasting, creating mist continually throughout the night.

There are different types diffusers which use different methods of releasing fragrance into the air. The type you like may depend on how strong you want the scent to be (whole room vs. your desk space) or how easy it is to clean the diffuser machine.
                                                                                                                                                               
Pure Enrichment
Most common diffusers have ultrasonic technology, which uses vibrations rather than heat to break down essential oils and water that are then misted into the room. Other diffuser technologies include:
  • passive: releases fragrance through ceramic, natural wood, or reeds  
  • heat: uses fire or electricity to warm up the oil until it evaporates into the air 
  • evaporative: uses a fan to disperse the scent throughout the room 
  • nebulizer: heatless and water-free, this method uses air pressure to turn essential oils into vapors  

Topical application, such as massage oil or body lotion

For better sleep, Schiff recommends massaging a sleep-boosting essential oil onto your forehead, wrists, and neck. This method allows you to benefit from both inhalation of the oils and full muscle relaxation. “They also enter your bloodstream quicker and get absorbed through the skin,” she explains.
While research shows that essential oils are safely metabolized in the body, you should always dilute your oils with a vegetable-based oil such as olive or coconut to help prevent skin irritations and allergic reactions. The Alliance of International Aromatherapists recommends essential oils be diluted to 2-3% concentration for massages and body lotion.

Facial steaming and compresses

Using facial steaming 15 to 20 minutes before bed can be an effective way to relax before your sleep session. A small 2019 study found that adult men who tried steam inhalation were more relaxed and had more deep sleep.
You don’t even need an official steamer. This DIY hack is easy: Just add one to three drops of essential oil to a large pot of warm water and lean over the pot with a towel covering your head for about 10 to 15 minutes.
You can also make a hot towel compress with the water and wrap the towel around a sore area to encourage muscle relaxation.

Aromatic baths

Taking an aromatic bath 1 to 2 hours before bedtime is another great way to get started with aromatherapy. Schiff recommends adding drops of a soothing essential oil like lavender to your bathwater and stirring it before soaking. As an added bonus, the heated water will relax your muscles, which promotes better sleep.



How does aromatherapy work?

A 2021 review looking at the effect of essential oils and mood regulation notes that the amygdala, which is part of your limbic system, is responsible for processing your emotional response and controlling the scent intensity.

“When you smell or breathe in essential oils, they're picked up by receptors in the nose and sinuses,” says aromatherapist Holly Spears. From there, they travel to the olfactory bulb, the olfactory cortex, and finally to your limbic system, the part of your brain which controls your mood and emotions.

Benefits of aromatherapy

Aromatherapy has many health benefits, including:
  • aiding with sleep  
  • elevating mood and relieving stress 
  • alleviating sore muscles 
  • helping to treat acne 

Which essential oils help with improving sleep quality?

Our sense of smell plays a significant role in memory recall, emotion, and sleep. “Many essential oils have properties that promote relaxation, helping you fall asleep more quickly and stay asleep all night,” explains Spears.

Although research on essential oils is limited, lavender is the most widely used for sleep support. Not only can it improve our overall quality of rest, but it can also help fight off the anxiety we often store up before bedtime. Some studies suggest lavender as a natural remedy for treating insomnia.

According to Spears, other popular essential oils used for sleep include Roman chamomile, ylang ylang, bergamot, frankincense, and valerian.

How to know you’re getting quality essential oils

Aromatherapy can help soothe your body and mind, which can lead to reduced fatigue and deeper sleep. That being said, not all essential oils are created equal. Experts agree that since they aren’t regulated by the FDA, consumers should take care to buy high quality products.
                                                                                                                                               Diffuser reeds in a jar of essential oils                

If you’re ready to give aromatherapy a try but aren’t sure how to differentiate between pure essential oils and cheap imitations, don’t sweat it. Below are some tips to help you determine the quality of oils before buying them.

  • Check the bottle: Quality suppliers use dark glass bottles with an eyedropper cap. 
  • Read the label: It should state which plant parts were used to make the oil and how it was extracted and its growing conditions. 
  • Verify the source: If there’s no Latin name listed and the seller uses the word “fragrance,” it’s likely that the oil is fake. 
  • Opt for organic essential oils: This ensures that certain pesticides haven’t been used during the growing process. 
  • Use oils from a reputable company: Search for real, reputable reviews online to gauge the quality of both the product and the company.

How Diffusers Work


Diffusers work by breaking down the essential oil into micro molecules then projecting them into the air to fill a room or work space.

As the oils break down they release natural ozone and, freshen and improve the quality of the air! 

The particles remain in the air for several hours depending on how long the diffuser was on and how much oil was used.



What are the different Types of Diffusers?

There are several different types of diffusers and they are listed below with a simple description of each one.

Ultrasonic Diffuser – This diffuser uses electronic frequencies to create vibrations that are carried to the surface where oils are floating. The vibrations vaporize the oil and disperse it into the air without using any kind of heat.

Cold Air Diffuser – A cold air diffuser uses room-temperature air to blow the oil into a nebulizer where it is vaporized. This diffuser can diffuse quickly and efficiently; however it is noisy and can be a little messy! It also can not effectively diffuse heavier, thicker oils and it is hard to clean.

Evaporative Diffuser – This diffuser is very basic in operation compared with an ultrasonic diffuser. A fan blows air through a pad or filter where the oil sits and vaporizes the oil on the pad. The biggest problem is that the lighter oils diffuse off quicker than the heavier oils. So these are pretty ineffective compared to the other diffusers, but great for your vehicle or when traveling!

Heat Diffuser – This method uses a heat source to disperse the essential oil. Any diffuser that operates in this manner will alter the chemistry of the essential oil so this is not recommended at all. Unless you want your room just to smell good!

Why is the Ultrasonic Diffuser the Best Aromatherapy Diffuser?

Here is why the Ultrasonic Diffuser is the Best –
- Easy to Use and Clean
- Breaks down Any Essential Oil (no matter the viscosity or volatility)
- High Oil Capacity
- Low Noise Level 
- Air Saturation is High
- Covers Large Square Footage
- May have a Timer depending on the Model
- Eliminate unpleasant environmental odours
- Purify the air to create healthy environment
- Increase relaxation and calming environment

And of course, all of the essential oil benefits! Here are the some other ways to use an ultrasonic diffuser:

 Diffuse in the work space to improve concentration and mental clarity
 Diffuse in your bedroom (and your children's) to help wind down before bedtime or help with occasional sleeplessness
 Diffuse when sleeping for wellness and vitality
 Diffuse in your home or office to helps ease tension and relieve stress
 Diffuse at the barn or kennel to help purify the air and provide a relaxing environment!
 Diffuse in the house and/or bedroom to open up airways
And many more!

How do I use a Diffuser?

Start by diffusing 15-30 minutes per day until you familiarize yourself with the effects. 
Then increase the frequency; generally diffusing oils for about 1-4 is very beneficial. But depending on what you are using it for, there are some recommendations that it be used 24 hours a day!

Can I put Essential Oil in my Humidifier or Vaporizer?

Yes, you definitely can but the cold air ones are the best. Heat alters the chemistry and thus the therapeutic effects of the oil.

Are there any Essential Oils that I can’t Diffuse in my Diffuser?

Nope, diffuse away! And have fun! This is one of the best ways to enjoy and reap the benefits of essential oils! 


Diffuser Blends

Right now I am really liking the combo of Stress Away, Lime and Rosemary. It’s refreshing and sweet at the same time.

To purify up the air I like to use oils like Purification, Citrus Fresh and Grapefruit! 

Or experiment and make your own blend! Happy Diffusing! Watch inside New Perspective Oilers each month for a diffuser calendar that can help you get really creative with your diffusing blends!

Fly Like A Bee


 I saw this the other day and I wanted to share it here with all of you!! <3 🐝

NASA has a poster hanging with bees that reads:

"Aerodynamically a bee's body is not made to fly; the good thing is that the bee doesn't know ".

The law of physics says that a bee cannot fly, the aerodynamic principle says that the breadth of its wings is too small to keep its huge body in flight, but a bee doesn’t know, it doesn’t know anything about physics or its logic and flies anyway.

This is what we can all do, fly and prevail in every moment in the face of any difficulty and in any circumstance despite what they say.

Let us be bees, no matter the size of our wings, we take flight.

May we all remember this when we're losing faith or hope... the impossible can be. <3 


                                         

10 Back-to-school tips for kids and parents        by the Personal blog                                 

                                                      
          
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
 The new school year means new friends, teachers, clothes, and classrooms. It’s normal for kids (and their parents) to feel anxious about returning to school. Here are some simple ways to ease the transition from vacation-mode to school-mode.        
               



Tips for getting kids ready for back-to-school

Whatever their age, many kids are apprehensive about starting school or going back to school. The good news is there’s a lot you can do to ease their minds and help them get ready for a new school year.

1. Early to bed, early to rise

Getting back into a school sleep schedule won’t happen overnight! A few weeks before school starts, get your child into the habit of going to bed earlier. Gentle winding-down activities such as bath time and reading before bed can help your child relax.

2. Re-establish a routine

Establishing a consistent routine is important for kids. Write out the steps in the routine and rehearse them with your child. In the evening, this could include doing homework, playtime, brushing their teeth, having a bath, and reading before bed.

3. Encourage independence

Children who play an active role in preparing for back to school – such as choosing and organizing school supplies and new clothes – are more likely to get excited about going back to school, which in turn eases their jitters. Is your child old enough for chores like emptying the dishwasher or making lunches? Daily, age-appropriate tasks will help your child gain independence and confidence.

4. Choose the right backpack

Backpacks that are too heavy or worn improperly could result in muscle strain, headaches, and neck pain. Try to choose a backpack made of sturdy, lightweight fabric with wide, padded straps that will support your child’s shoulders. Watch that they don’t sling it over just one shoulder.

5. Talk about safety

Review outdoor safety rules – things like looking both ways before crossing the street, taking the same route every day if they are walking, familiarizing themselves with crosswalk rules, and being cautious in talking to strangers.

6. Establish healthy habits

Involve your children in choosing and preparing healthy lunches and snacks. Help them find physical activities they enjoy. Take them shopping for healthy snacks and lunch items  , Link opens in a new window. they can pack themselves. Try to stick to regular meal times.

7. Limit screen time

Back to school is the perfect opportunity to re-establish screen time limits. Why not have the whole family “unplug” in the evenings before bedtime? Choose a spot where everybody can charge their devices overnight. Use an alarm clock instead of a cellphone to wake up in the mornings.

8. Map it out

If your kids are starting at a new school, practice walking or driving to the bus stop or to the school building a week or two before school starts. You could even play in the school playground before school starts. This creates fun memories associated with the school before summer vacation ends.

9. Talk about first-week jitters

Reassure your child that being nervous is natural – even for teachers. You can help your child cope with these feelings when you:

  • Let them express their fears. Perhaps you can offer stories of your own first-day jitters when you were a child.
  • Teach them to breathe deeply and slowly to calm their nerves.
  • Discuss the scenarios that worry them. For example, if they’re worried about who to sit with or talk to on the first day, help them plan a strategy and rehearse it so they’ll know what to do.

10. Celebrate the start of a new school year

If you celebrate the first day of school, your kids will see back-to-school as a transition they can really enjoy. Try a back-to-school party the day before school starts, complete with cake, balloons and educational gifts. And don’t forget to take a picture on the front step in their first-day-of-school outfits. It’s going to be a great year

How to Use Essential Oils
by Young Living


We’ve all wondered how to use essential oils, quizzing friends for advice or scouring the web for the latest tips. There’s no trick to using essential oils, though. You don’t need training or a degree. With a little practice and the suggestions you’ll find here, you’ll become the go-to expert on how to use essential oils in no time!There are three primary ways to use essential oils. First there’s aromatically, when you inhale the oil’s aroma either from the bottle or via steam or a diffuser. You can also apply them topically—just be sure to dilute it with a carrier oil like olive oil before application. With most oils you can dispense a few diluted drops on your skin. With others you’ll want to add them to your favourite lotion, cream or bath gel. Finally, you can even ingest small amounts of a few select essential oils to enjoy their flavors as well as their benefits.

However you use your essential oils, we recommend you always check the label on how to best apply them. Essential oils are highly concentrated natural extracts located in a plant’s seeds, leaves, bark, flowers, roots, stems, rinds and other parts. Distillers of essential oils use various methods to extract these oils that render them even more potent than they were in their respective plants. In such a concentrated form, it’s important to know how to use essential oils safely and what precautions to take.

We’ll explore how to use essential oils and what steps you can to enjoy their natural benefits while also handling them safely.

How to Apply Essential Oils


Stumped on how to apply your essential oils? How you apply an oil depends on what benefit you want to get out of it. Different oils offer different benefits, depending on how and where you apply them. So, before using any new essential oil, be sure to check that oil’s uses and benefits and read any labels and instructions that come with it. If you have questions or concerns, check with your healthcare provider.

Using Essential Oils Aromatically

Let’s start with the hallmark way to use essential oils: aromatically. All essential oils feature a signature aroma you can smell and inhale for various effects. One oil’s crisp scent can invigorate you when you need a midday pick-me-up. Another’s soothing aroma can help you unwind after a tough day. You can use essential oils aromatically by simply opening the bottle and inhaling its aroma. They can also be applied topically as a personal fragrance, but always dilute them with a carrier oil, which is a plant-derived oil like coconut or almond oil. Dilute a few drops of essential oil with your carrier oil and then rub it into your palms and inhale or dab some behind your ear or on your neck. You can also use a diffuser to disperse the essential oil into the air.

Using Essential Oils Topically

Another favourite way to apply essential oils is topically, where you allow the oil to absorb into your skin. As mentioned before, always dilute oils with a carrier oil before you apply them topically. Topical oils can become part of a massage or added to your preferred lotion, moisturizer or other personal care product. Some oils, particularly those from the citrus family, can cause photosensitivity. A carrier oil is a plant-derived oil like coconut and almond oil that can be used to dilute an essential oil’s concentration.

Using Essential Oils Internally

If you think an oil smells terrific, wait until you taste it! You can season your favourite dish or flavor a drink with certain grades of essential oils. Ingesting oils lets you savor all their savory, herbaceous, spicy, fruity potential. The simplest ways to take essential oils internally is to add them to a glass of water, take them in a capsule or use them as seasoning. Start off with a small amount. A little goes a long way, and even a single drop might overpower your recipe. One recommendation is to dip a toothpick in the oil and stir that little bit in as a starting point. Of course, before you use any oils internally, make sure the oil is safe to ingest. Unless it specifically says on the label that it’s safe for ingestion, assume it’s safe for external use only.



What Are the Best Essential Oils for Beginners?

Getting started with essential oils can be intimidating. How do you know what oils to start with and how to use them? With hundreds of different oils, each with unique uses, applications and benefits, it can be like drinking from a firehose.
The ideal oils for beginners are those that come with many benefits and applications. You can find a use for each of them in about every corner of your home and facet of your life. Here are the top ten oils recommended for those who are new to essential oils.


Top 10 Essential Oils for Those Who Are New to Oils


                                                                                                                                                    

  • Cedarwood - This essential oil’s balmy, rich scent can chase away unwanted smells and invites an atmosphere of coziness and peace.                                           
  • Oregano - With its warm, herbaceous aroma, Oregano can be added to a carrier oil and rubbed into your joints after a long day.                                                    
  • Lavender This gentle oil can be used almost anywhere—added to water to make a room-freshening spray, in the bath or mixed with your favourite lotion.
  • Peppermint - Peppermint’s cool, crisp scent and tingling touch make it one of the most versatile oils. Rub it into fatigued muscles after a run or fitness class for a refreshing post-workout cooldown.
  • Lemon - The tangy scent of lemon can liven any day. Diffuse it to share its summery aroma, apply a couple drops to a cotton ball to rub away sticky adhesive or promote the appearance of youthful skin by adding it to your nighttime skin care routine. 
  • Frankincense - Its grounding, complex aroma is often diffused during prayer or meditation to encourage self-reflection
  • Tea Tree - Tea Tree is widely used for its cleansing properties, particularly when applied topically to the skin, hair and nails or to neutralize unwanted odours.                     
  • Orange - Orange’s sweet smell makes everything feel right. Add it to your linen spray to give your wash some citrus-scented freshness.                                                  
  • Eucalyptus Radiata - You can literally use this Australian oil from head to toe, to rejuvenate your hair; help hydrate dull, dry skin; or to inhale as you wind down for bed. ™
  • Grapefruit - Want your house to feel like a sunny beach house? Grapefruit brings a welcome burst of freshness, whether you’re diffusing it or using it to zest up your household cleane
As you take each of these oils for a test drive, you’ll find ones that work for you and others that don’t. To guarantee the best experience when trying out essential oils, be sure to select oils known for their quality and potency.


The Basics Tenants of Essential Oil Safety


When learning how to use essential oils safely, remember that these oils are extremely potent and should always be handled carefully. With that in mind, here are a few basics on how to handle essential oils carefully.

Always check the label
Before using any new oil, be sure to check the label for directions and warnings.

A little goes a long way
Less is more when it comes to these concentrated oils. You can always add more, so whether you’re using oils aromatically, topically with a carrier oil or internally, start slow. Use the smallest recommended amount and then work your way up as needed.

Watch for a reaction
Everyone is different, so as you start out with small amounts of these oils, watch for any reactions to the essential oils you use. If your skin becomes irritated, apply a carrier or fatty oil to the affected area to dilute the essential oil.

Use one oil at a time
Only use one new oil at a time to see how your body will react to it. After applying the new oil, wait at least 30 minutes before applying another new one.

Avoid applying oils to certain parts of the body
Don’t apply essential oils to your eyes, ears, nose or other areas with sensitive skin.

Consult your healthcare provider
If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or have a medical condition, talk to your healthcare provider before trying any oils.

Be aware of oils that cause photosensitivity
Some oils, mostly those from the citrus family, can cause photosensitivity to direct sunlight for at least 12 hours after application. Make sure you stay out of direct sunlight after applying these undiluted essential oils to your skin.

How to Use Essential Oils Aromatically

Knowing how to use essential oils aromatically helps you use those famous aromas to their full potential. Their powerful scents can evoke strong emotional, mental and even physical reactions. That’s because our smell receptors connect directly to where your emotions and memories are stored in your brain’s limbic system.

There are countless ways to use essential oils aromatically. The simplest way is to put a few drops into the palms of your hands, then cup your hands around your mouth and nose and inhale, breathing deeply to allow your receptors to absorb the oil’s aroma. You can also mix oils in a spray bottle with water and use it to spritz surfaces, furniture, linens and the inside of your car.

Here are some other ways you can use essential oils aromatically.

How Do You Diffuse Essential Oils?

To diffuse essential oils, you can add 8–20 drops to a water oil diffuser. With a diffuser, you can create any atmosphere you like—cozy and calming or grounding and invigorating. Here are a few tips if you’re pulling your first diffuser out of its box.

Find the best location for your diffuser
You’ll need to place the diffuser near an outlet, unless yours runs on batteries. Choose an open area where the diffuser has the most access to the space. Don’t place it near a fan or heat source and avoid direct sunlight if possible. These outside elements can affect the potency of the oils. Make sure the diffuser is kept out of the reach of small children.

Check the instructions on your diffuser
Review any directions that come with the diffuser and on your oil label. Look especially at the ratios of oil to water to know how to get the most aroma from your diffuser.

Avoid overfilling the diffuser
Use only as much water your diffuser can handle or your diffuser may not function the way it should.

What to do if you don’t have a diffuser
 A DIY workaround when you don’t have a diffuser is to simply add a couple drops of your favourite oil to a cotton ball and place it wherever you think it would best disperse the scent. Over a vent can help you circulate the scents you love so they fill your home or workspace.

Effective Ways to Use Essential Oils Aromatically

You’ll discover countless effective ways to use essential oils aromatically. Even absorbed from the air, you’ll find that essential oils can have a dramatic effect on your environment. That’s because the scent you’re inhaling contains small particles of the oil itself, bringing with them the oil’s benefits as well as its aroma. Here are effective ways to use essential oils aromatically.

Inhale directly
You can breathe in the oil’s aroma directly from the bottle or by dripping some into your hands and cupping them over your mouth and nose while you breathe deeply.

Use a diffuser
This is perhaps the most effective way to disperse an essential oil’s scent throughout your work or living space

Add to your surfaces
Essential oils can give your pillowcases, sheets or clothes a calming, soothing scent. Simply drop the oil onto a tissue and then brush the tissue over the clothes or linens. Or drop oils onto a wool dryer ball before tossing it in the dryer with your clothes.

Use Steam
Boil a pot of water, remove it from its heat source, then add a couple drops of essential oil. Lean over the pot and drape a towel over your head to create a tent that captures the steam as you lower your face close to the water and inhale deeply.

Apply like purfume
Turn heads by dabbing a drop of your go-to oil on your wrist, behind the ears or on the neck to create your own personal fragrance. Dilute as needed with a carrier oil, such as olive oil, according to label directions.

Mix with your DIY cleaners
Add oils to your household cleaners so you can enjoy their fragrance while you make your space sparkle.

How to Use Essential Oils Topically on Skin

Using essential oils topically on skin is another popular application method. Oils absorb easily into the skin, so you can quickly and directly enjoy their beneficial properties. When applied topically, essential oils can improve the appearance of healthy-looking skin. Mix them with your favourite cosmetics to include them in your skin care routine. Add them to carrier oils to take a massage to the next level, making it that much more soothing or invigorating, depending on the oils you use. A few drops have the power to transform a warm bath or hot shower into a spa-like experience.

Knowing how potent essential oils can be, remember to always read label instructions before applying a new oil topically. Look for warnings about photosensitivity and dilution and, as mentioned earlier, always start small.

How Much Essential Oil Should I Use on My Skin?

Remembering how potent essential oils can be will help you know how much essential oil you should use on your skin. When applying a new oil, whether you’re using it topically or using another application method, check the label and follow the directions. Look for warnings about photosensitivity and dilution and, as mentioned earlier, always start small.

Many oils can be applied directly to the skin when diluted with a carrier oil like olive oil—usually to soothe fatigued muscles or for skincare. Water doesn’t mix well with essential oils and isn’t a good way to dilute. For topical applications to the skin, you’ll usually want to mix one to three drops of essential oil with one teaspoon of a carrier oil, unless the label recommends a different ratio. For larger applications, like a massage, you might want to lower that to one drop for every teaspoon of carrier oil.

Bear in mind that the effects from topically applying essential oils to your skin can last for a few hours. If you’re test-driving a new oil, apply small amounts of the oil during the day. Give yourself a few hours between applications to see if you have a reaction to the oil. With their high levels of concentration, essential oils can irritate your skin if you don’t apply them correctly.

Where Should I Put Essential Oils on Your Body?

There are many beneficial areas of your body where you can apply essential oils. You can gently rub oil into places such as your neck, forehead, temples, wrists, chest and stomach. This also includes extremities like your arms, legs and the bottoms of your feet. In fact, the bottoms of your feet are one of the safest places to apply essential oils topically.

There are a few areas where you shouldn’t put essential oils on your body. You’ll want to avoid your eyes, ears, nose and the skin around them or places where the skin is sensitive.

How to Blend Essential Oils for Topical Use

Learning how to blend essential oils for topical use frees you to mix and mingle the oils you love the most so you can create unique, personalized scents your skin will love, too.

One important factor to consider is how potent are the oils in your blend? Some oils are gentle enough to be applied directly to the skin. Others require dilution before they’re safe for topical use. Always be aware of the safe handling procedures for any oils you put into a blend. Read the labels and follow the instructions provided.

If dilution is required, use a carrier oil. In a blend like that, the carrier oil should make up the greater part with only a small percentage being essential oils.

It’s also critical to know that some oils, especially citrus oils, can cause temporary photosensitivity. Any blend that includes these oils will also likely cause photosensitivity. If applied to the skin, avoid sunlight for the next 12 hours just to be safe.

If you’re not sure how your skin will react to a blend, simply perform a patch test. A patch test involves applying a small amount of an essential oil or oil blend to the inside of your forearm. Then you wait an hour or two to see if your skin reacts to it. If there is no reaction, then you’re free to move forward with applying that essential oil blend to your skin.

How to Use Essential Oils Internally

Did you know you can use some essential oils internally? With aromatic and topical oil applications, the oil has to penetrate the skin or other obstacles so we can enjoy their benefits. By ingesting the oils, we can introduce those benefits directly to the body.

Please note that not all oils are fit for internal use, so always check the label instructions to see if the oil is safe for ingestion. If it doesn’t mention internal use, then simply assume the oil is meant for aromatic and topical application. As for those oils that are safe for internal use, they have a variety of uses you’ll want to try. When you do, check the label directions for the amounts to use and make sure you never exceed them.

Add to a glass of water
Add a drop or two of your favourite essential oil to water to make every sip satisfying.

Take in a capsule
Put a few drops of essential oil into a vegetable capsule and take with water.

Spice up your favourite dish
Add essential oils to give your favourite dishes an array of rich, unique flavors.

You can drip these oils directly onto your tongue to leave a good taste in your mouth.

Can You ingest Essential Oil Safely?

Yes, you can safely ingest some essential oils. Oils you can take internally make it easy to add a splash of flavor to your food and drinks. You can also take these oils in a capsule as a dietary supplement.

Many people enjoy cooking and baking with essential oils. However, you should always be careful whenever you add a new ingredient to your recipe, such as essential oils. Review any labels that come with the oil and make sure it says that the oil is safe for internal use. Also remember to only use a little at a time. You can always add more oil if you think the dish or beverage needs more of a kick!

Essential Oil Safety FAQ

Using essential oils can seem complicated and confusing. That’s why we published a page dedicated to answering your questions about essential oil safety. Here are a few answers to questions asked by those who are beginning to learn and use essential oils.

Q. What is a carrier oil?
A. A carrier oil is a neutral, non-aromatic, plant-derived oil such as coconut oil, olive oil, grapeseed oil, etc. Carrier oils can be used to dilute essential oils to ensure that they are comfortable and safe for topical application to the skin.

 To perform a patch test, apply 1¬–2 drops of essential oil to a patch of skin such as the forearm. Observe that area of skin over the course of 1–2 hours for any noticeable reaction. Normally any reactions will occur within 5¬¬–10 minutes. If you experience a hot or burning sensation or develop a rash, add a carrier oil to the affected area as often as needed.

Q. What is a "hot" oil?
A. Hot oils are any essential oils that create a hot or warming sensation when applied to the skin. Some examples of hot oils include cinnamon bark, clove, lemongrass, oregano and thyme. It’s recommended that you use a patch test on these or any new oils you intend to use topically.

Q. What if I experience skin discomfort or irritation after applying an essential oil topically to my skin?
A. If you feel any discomfort or irritation, stop using the essential oil and apply a carrier oil to the affected area. There are some documents that suggest diluting essential oils with water. Unfortunately, water actually drives oil into the skin and eyes. Avoid using water in an attempt to flush the oil off of the skin; this may increase discomfort. If all you have on hand is water, you can use it in place of a carrier oil. In this case, focus on flushing the affected area with a large amount of water with consistent flow. If an essential oil gets in your eye, flush it out using a carrier oil as quickly as possible to alleviate any discomfort. If eye discomfort does not subside within five minutes, seek medical attention.

Q. Can essential oils be applied to sensitive areas?
A. Avoid contacting sensitive areas such as eyes, ears, genitals and mucous membranes with essential oils.

Q. How often can I apply essential oils? How much should I use?
A. Follow the proper usage instructions printed on each essential oil label. Essential oils can be very powerful, so start with a small amount and go slow. Excessive use of essential oils may increase your risk of having an adverse reaction. In most cases, 1–2 drops are adequate—using more may be a waste of the oil. Depending on the essential oil, you can gradually build up to 3¬–4 uses per day, if desired.

Q. Can I use essential oils during pregnancy or when I’m nursing?
A. As with any medical condition, it’s recommended that prior to using essential oils you seek the advice and recommendation of a competent, trained health care advisor who is experienced in essential oil usage.

Q. Can children use essential oils?
A. Many essential oils are appropriate for use on children but should be diluted with a carrier oil prior to use.

Q. Should I avoid exposure to the sun after using essential oils?
A. Some essential oils, especially citrus oils, contain natural molecules that react with sunlight (UV light) and cause a sensitivity reaction. Any essential oils or blends that contain these compounds should come with a warning to avoid sun or any other UV light for 12 to 48 hours after applying.

Q. Should I use essential oils if I have a medical condition? Can essential oils interact with prescription medications?
A. If you have a disease or medical condition or are using a prescription medication, it’s recommended that prior to using an essential oil you consult with a health care advisor who has experience with essential oils. Seek the advice of the prescribing physician and a pharmacist about potential interactions between any medication and essential oils.

How to Cope With Fall Anxiety

Courtesy of the New York Times

As the most carefree weeks of the year draw to a close, pay close attention to your emotions. They might be telling you something useful.
So what’s the best way to accept unwelcome feelings? “Take a breath and actually allow those thoughts to rise to the surface,” said Tracy Dennis-Tiwary, a psychologist and the director of the emotion regulation lab at Hunter College in New York City. It may help to share them with friends or write them down in a journal. It’s “about allowing yourself to let that inner dialogue come out,” she said.

Ask yourself what these negative emotions can do for you

There’s another big reason not to suppress your feelings: “Difficult emotions have value,” Dr. Dennis-Tiwary said, because they provide us with information about our wants, needs and values. When we bottle them up, she said, “we lose the data that they are giving us.”
Take the anxiety I’ve felt when thinking about the upcoming autumn chaos. It might be unpleasant, Dr. Dennis-Tiwary said, but I can use it to help me plan for the future and manage the uncertainty. Last week, while worrying over how I was going to make all of my work deadlines in September while navigating my children’s busy after-school schedules, I decided it would be smart to hire an afternoon babysitter — and I started the process of finding one. My anxiety helped me identify that I had an unmet need (support) and motivated me to brainstorm solutions for addressing it (hiring a babysitter). Anxiety prompts us to ask: “What can you do now that will help you feel like you’re a bit more in control of the situation?” Dr. Harden Bradford said.

End-of-summer sadness also provides us with useful data, Dr. Dennis-Tiwary added. “It’s information about what we really value and want in our life,” she said, and we can use it to help define our priorities. Try to dig into what, exactly, you’re saddest about losing as summer ends, and see if you can make more time for that in the future, she suggested. Maybe you spent lots of time reading fiction in your downtime this summer, and you are upset that might end — is there anything you can do to incorporate more time into your fall schedule for leisure reading?

If your anxiety or sadness revolves around an issue that feels out of your control, try to identify small things you can address. A few years ago, Dr. Dennis-Tiwary’s partner faced serious challenges at work that were largely out of his control, and his stress even affected Dr. Dennis-Tiwary’s own mental health. “I was feeling higher levels of anxiety than I’d felt in a long, long time,” she said. She tried to zero in on aspects of the situation that she could change, but she realized that she could be more helpful by being a supportive partner. “I decided that I would make a plan to spend extra time just being there to listen to him,” she said. “It gave me a sense of purpose and strengthened our relationship, and it actually helped me get through it.”

When feelings overwhelm, connect to the present

Of course, anxiety isn’t always helpful, Dr. Dennis-Tiwary said. Sometimes it can feel all-consuming. If that’s true for you, she said, take time to connect to the present in a way you enjoy — perhaps by taking a walk, gardening, talking to a therapist or doing yoga or breathing exercises.

Dr. David suggested framing your feelings as observations. When we think or say things like “I am sad” or “I am anxious,” we imply that these feelings are who we are, and that they are all-encompassing, she said. “That is a kind of de facto imprisonment,” she said, “because you’re defining yourself by that difficult emotion and there’s no space for the other parts of yourself to come forward.” Instead, try saying something like “I’m noticing that I’m feeling sad” or “I’m noticing feelings of anxiety come up.” When we reframe feelings this way, we can create space for progress, she said.

As I enjoy these last few weeks of summer, I will remember that my feelings of loss and worry are normal, even helpful. In the coming weeks, I’ll try to dig into my emotions to learn a bit more about myself and identify steps I can take to make the fall feel a little less scary and a little more welcoming. But I’m still steering clear of pumpkin spice treats.

September 1-30 we will be taking three core supplements that fuel us with what we need to start our bodies down a new path.

10 Powerful Rituals For Autumn Equinox: Celebrating The End Of Summer

/ By



We are so excited that autumn is here! As the world begins to grow dark, we want to take some time to reflect on what the change of season means in our lives. Remember that all of life is cyclical, and endings and beginnings are always occurring around us. Over the next few days, we’ve got a list of some of our favorite rituals for autumn equinox to help you celebrate the end of summer.
 

What is the Autumn Equinox?

The autumnal equinox is a moment in the year when day and night are exactly equal. It is heralded by the Sun’s passage across the celestial equator, an event that occurs about September 22 or 23 in the Northern Hemisphere and about March 21 or 22 in the Southern Hemisphere. This event marks the beginning of autumn, which lasts until winter solstice.

The Autumn Equinox inspires us to reflect upon and feel gratitude for the abundance in our lives. It’s a beautiful time to share nature’s plenty with friends and loved ones, with dishes built around seasonal ingredients like apples, pumpkins, squash, grapes, and grains. 

The autumn equinox, also known as Mabon is a mid-harvest festival also known as the second harvest that is celebrated with communal feasting, dancing, and rituals for autumn equinox to channel the new energy of the changing seasons.

Each season of our lives has its own wisdom, just as different energies flow through us at different times of the year. Celebrating each season of the Wheel of the Year will help nurture your growth physically, mentally and emotionally through the changing seasons of your life. And by aligning your activities with the cycles of nature, you’ll find a better balance in your life and be able to make time for yourself as well as others when it’s needed most.

The Wheel of the Year is a guide for living. It provides us with a framework to help us live our lives in balance. This circle of time allows us to honor and celebrate our spiritual heritage, as well as connect with nature’s cycles.

10 Rituals for Autumn Equinox

Below you’ll find my 10 favorite rituals for autumn equinox to mark the change from summer to autumn

1) Watch the Sunset

One of my favorite rituals for autumn equinox is to honor and welcome the transition of the seasons by sitting quietly on the evening of the equinox to watch the sunset. Be present to all your senses as you watch and feel gratitude for the sun’s life-giving energy as it sinks lower in the sky. 

Pay close attention to what happens when night falls: what do you see, hear, or smell? Maybe it’s bugs singing or stars twinkling high in the sky or even smoky scents from backyard fire pits. 

Speak words of love and praise aloud to the darkness. Share what you love about it. What you’re ready for. What calls to you about this time of year? If you feel called, leave an intuitive offering out for it — food, a poem, a painting, anything that feels good to you. Close your ritual with a few deep breaths and spend some time journaling to process your experience

2) Spend Time in Nature

Spending some time alone in nature can be one of the most sacred rituals for autumn equinox. Sitting in a quiet place and taking time to reflect on the seasons passing by is one of the best ways to reconnect with nature. You can use this time to meditate, pray or just be in silence. Paying attention to the subtle changes in nature is a great way to feel connected with it and notice how all things ebb and flow. 

Being out among trees, birds and other wildlife can bring us back in touch with our own humanity. When we take the time to connect with nature, we’re reminded that life is more than just our own personal struggles. And by spending some time in the great outdoors, we can also help reduce stress and anxiety.

3) Cook a Nourishing Meal with Seasonal Vegetables

On the autumn equinox, we celebrate the harvest and honor our connection with the earth. Autumn is also a time to spend time with family and friends, to reconnect with your body and appreciate its rhythms. A great way to honor this season is by preparing a ritual meal with seasonal ingredients. 

I like cooking healthful meals as a way to celebrate the seasons. This helps me feel grounded and connected with my body, my family and the earth. Cooking healthy food can also be a way to reduce stress as it requires focus and attention. It’s important to prepare the meal mindfully and with intention. When you take the time to cook a meal and share it with loved ones, you can feel more connected.

Here are some tips:

4) Perform a Release Ritual

Perform a release ritual where you make a list of all the things you want to leave in the past. This can be a very powerful way to release the past and let go. The ritual could involve burning the paper or burying it in a box. This is a great way to let go of the things that aren’t serving you. It can also be very healing and empowering.

5) Bathe with Herbs

To celebrate the equinox, take a ritual bath using fresh herbs from your garden. This is a wonderful way to connect with the earth and the natural world (and maybe even celebrate something else that’s sacred to you). 
You can make your own bath salts with added herbs from your garden. No salts? That’s okay, simply use some fresh or dried herbs you foraged or grew. This is a wonderful way to connect with the earth and the natural world, allowing you to align yourself with this autumnal energy.

 The Outdoor Apothecary

6) Burn Herbal Incense Bundles

Burn herbal incense bundles (or diffuse essential oils to avoid the lung irritation of smoke)  as a ritual for autumn equinox. Using incense to purify the spirit and start fresh is a tradition as old as humankind. Incense invokes protection and peace, inviting us to open our hearts and minds. As we turn inward for fall and winter, we can look to incense to rejuvenate our energy field by letting go of patterns that no longer serve us.

7) Observe and Reflect on Seasonal Shifts

During the season of Autumn and especially during the Autumnal Equinox, make time to observe the natural phenomena that occur at the change of seasons. Use these observations as cues to reflect inward and discover bits of personal wisdom that aid you in navigating your own life.

In autumn, nature is aging gracefully and releasing its hold on summer’s bounty. Draw inspiration from this process to embrace your own aging, as well as aging within your relationships, and even your work. This way of observing nature helps us to reconnect with what matters most: ourselves, the Earth, and those around us.

Find a cozy spot to curl up, reflect on your personal harvests, and take stock of what you have nurtured this year. Notice how that area of your life has evolved since spring. Make some notes about intentions for fall, so you can reflect on them at the winter solstice.

Mabon Diffuser Blend

Many cultures see the second harvest (after the first harvest Lammas) and equinox as a time for giving thanks. This time of year is when farmers know how well their summer crops did, and how well fed their animals have become. This determines whether you and your family would have enough food for the winter. That is why people used to give thanks around this time, thanks for their crops, and animals, and food.

No matter how you view this time of year, there is a certain celebratory air about the abundance of food and the promise of meals to come. 

Use this diffuser blend to celebrate all this season has to offer.

10 Simple Ways to Mindfully Transition from Summer to Fall

1. Journal for a Fresh Start

Fall marks a new beginning and a time for change. So, this is the perfect time to realign with your intentions for the year. 
It’s also a good time to look back and reflect on your summer and write about all your memories so you can mindfully close that chapter and focus on the present moment. 
These journal prompts for a fresh start will help you get realigned for the Fall season.

               

2. Create a Fall Bucket List


What would make you happy, help you become your best self, and make the most of what the fall season has to offer?

Create a Fall bucket list of all the seasonal activities you want to take part in this time of the year.

You can add activities like apple picking, fall baking, cozying up with a warm drink, and more. Check out this ultimate Fall bucket list to give you some ideas.

3. Make a Fall Vision Board

Who says you have to create a vision board once a year? I enjoy creating a new vision board every season where I put my intentions and goals for that season. I like to look at it every day so I can really envision what I want a particular season to look like.

You can also bring your Fall bucket list to life with images.

           

4. Organize and Refresh Your Space

Transition from Summer to Fall Home Decor
Take some time to declutter and organize your home and your life. Get rid of anything that you no longer need or store the summer supplies that you are no longer using.

Then, refresh your space for Fall with the Simplified Fall series by Jakob and Kate, Fall decor, cozy blankets, and whatever else gives you those fall vibes.

5. Find Your New Routine

Our daily routines tend to shift with the seasons. 

Your daily routine can include things like the way you spend your morning routine, your sleep schedule, and seasonal hobbies.

It’s important to find a fall routine that works for you, your responsibilities, and your schedule. 

6. Shift to Different Foods

During the summer you might be eating colder foods like salads and fruit. But, on cooler days you will probably find your body wanting to be nourished with warm grounding foods.

   
You might be craving more soups, teas, and spices like cinnamon. Try some Thieves oil or switch to Thieves Household cleaner to get those gorgeous Fall smells throughout your home. 

Seasonal food is fresher, tastier, and more nutritious than food consumed out of season.

In-season fresh fall foods include things like pumpkin, squash, pears, and apples.
A seasonal food guide is a great way to see what is in season in your geographical area.
You can create a meal plan and try out new whole-food fall recipes to keep you healthy and balanced during the cooler fall months.



7. Try New Movements + Exercises

Daily movement is important for your mind, body, & soul.

The fall time is the perfect time to start a new workout routine or even enjoy the outdoors before it gets too cold. 

You can go for a hike and enjoy the beautiful leaves, go apple picking, practice yoga, or just take a walk in the park.

Find exercises that work for you and your body and before starting a new workout consult your doctor if you have any chronic health conditions.

       

8. Change Your Sleep Schedule

Days are getting shorter so you will probably have to adjust your sleep schedule.

During the summer you may have been going to bed late because in some places the sun doesn’t go down till after 9 PM. 
But, since it will be getting darker earlier you may need to change your sleep times and go to bed earlier since your circadian rhythm will be disrupted.

After several days, as you fall asleep earlier and wake up earlier your circadian rhythms will eventually adjust to the new schedule.

9. Create a Seasonal Playlist

Listen to the perfect tunes to get yourself into the fall spirit. 

You can create your own seasonal playlist or check out these fall playlists that are all about the fall vibes.

10. Embrace Change

A new season is out of your control so why not just embrace it?

Even if you don’t like the Fall Season (for some crazy reason) you can’t change it so focus on the things you can control. 
Embrace the change in the weather, the change in the leaves, and the change in your routine.

Final Thoughts

The fall season is a time of rejuvenation, relaxation, and letting go. Always remember to create fall rituals and routines that feel good to you.
With these tips in mind, I hope that are able to transition from summer to fall and enjoy the fall season to the fullest.

How Habit Stacking Can Help You Have the Best Fall Ever

Forming bad habits is easy, but building good habits is surprisingly hard—even though most of us crave routine to one degree or another. Luckily, here’s a way to use your natural inclination toward routine to build and maintain a new habit. It’s called habit stacking, and you can think of it like glueing a new habit to an existing one.

What is habit stacking?

Habit stacking happens when you tack a desired behavioral change onto an existing routine. Theoretically, that way the thing you’re having trouble  sticking with just becomes part of your broader, ongoing string of habits. Consider the things you already do every day: Brushing your teeth in the morning and at night, making your coffee in the morning, walking your dog at lunchtime, etc. During any one of those, you can add in a second necessary task that will benefit reciprocally from happening alongside your existing routine. 
This concept was  popularized in 2017 by S.J. Scott, who wrote Habit Stacking: 127 Small Changes to Improve Your Health, Wealth, and Happiness. Since then, it’s blown up, with other psychologists adding their own support for the practice. Science agrees: Building routines is key to overall health and wellbeing, and our brains are wired to seek out routines. Once you have one habit neurologically wired in, building others around it is much easier.

How to get started with habit stacking 

There are plenty of ways to build a habit stack, but first you need to identify the tasks you’re struggling with. For example, if you know you need to sort through your emails every morning but you tend to put it off as soon as you log in to work, keep it in mind as a possible candidate for adding to a stack.
Once you’ve identified the things you want to do but don’t, identify the things you do do, whether it’s taking a break every day at 3 p.m. to scroll social media or doing the dishes after every meal. Examine each and look for ways you could stack the less-sticky tasks on top of them. If you forget to call your mom often, stack that on top of doing the dishes. If you need to sort your email inbox, do it while you drink your morning coffee.

The trick is to figure out which things can stack cohesively. You can’t return phone calls while you’re running at the gym, but maybe you can do so while you’re commuting. You can’t study while you brush your teeth, but you can practice your deep breathing. 

Once you’ve determined which habits can stack, write down your plans somewhere like a Google doc—”I will respond to my emails every morning by 10, while I eat breakfast”—and for the first few days, actively check in on it to make sure you’re staying on top of them. Eventually, they’ll become habitual, just like the activities you’ve paired them with

Summer Nights

                                                                               
Add some Night Sky to your Wellness regime
            
                                                                               
By Robert Dick, Harrowsmith Magazine
            
                                                                               
The night sky doesn’t change very much, or so we are told. Aristotle (384–322 BC) set the stage for this assumption with his philosophy of the unchanging starry realm. His teachings persisted for almost 2,000 years. After it was adopted by religion, to question it was heresy. Observers of the night sky slowly chipped away at these teachings by witnessing changes in the night sky. Eventually, these observations could no longer be ignored. The night sky does change, although slowly.

To be fair, changes in the universe occur very slowly, spanning millions of human lifetimes. Some stars have lived as long as the human species, and others have been around for billions of years. Closer to home and with greater rapidity, the planets orbit the sun, and the rotation of Earth ushers the celestial objects across our sky every night.

You might think that one clear dark night is as good as the next, but I don’t think so.
Consider a walk in a park, a symphony or the theatre. Our experience will be different with each exposure. Our awareness and imagination is different every day. Our memory is as much about what we bring to the experience as the event itself.

The presentation of a play is organic—it changes with every performance. During a walkabout, the smell of the air, the sun’s heat and the passersby can never be repeated exactly the same. The flavours of good food vary with the spices and preparation. And as we get older, our aches and pains seem more dominant. Real life is not boring!

We experience a summer’s night. There are many distractions during the day. Each one is like a different spice that alters our experience, but at night, the visual landscape is subdued, distractions are muted or hidden, and our other senses are magnified.

The late-evening dew after a hot, dry day intensifies the scent of the soil, grass, flowers and trees. Without the sound of traffic, our hearing is focused on the sounds of crickets and frogs. More subtle than those sounds are the leaves rustled by a breeze, and the “sigh” that’s produced when the wind blows through needle clusters of pine trees. Most birds are quiet after dark, but there are a few nocturnal species that call out around wetlands and lakes.

Night is an environment and ecosystem, and all our senses combine to create a memorable experience. Not the least of which is our sensitive night vision, which reveals the stars, completing the memory of night.

None of these stimuli are repeated quite the same. Every night creates a new memory, and missing any one of these stimuli weakens the experience.

Photographic images can’t do it justice, even though the stars dominate our vision. The light level is low, which “removes the colours from our sight” (so sang the Moody Blues in “Nights in White Satin” in 1967). And there is a visual texture to the sky—it looks “grainy” because of the reduced visual acuity of our night vision.

During an early-summer evening, the hazy band of the Milky Way rises like a fog bank above the eastern horizon. In late summer, it has rotated across the sky, such that it stands almost vertically above the southwestern horizon.

You and your children may not experience the night as we have in the past. Our ability to see the night sky is changing at an accelerating rate. Look at the first image in this essay. Lights now line the shoreline, and the light from hamlets, towns and cities causes the sky to glow. Most of this light is not natural and, sadly, most of this light is not necessary.

Outdoor lighting has been increasing by 2.2 percent per year—much faster than the population growth. Why is this getting worse? We should be saving energy, not using more of it.

Using more energy-efficient lighting has led to the installation of more and brighter light fixtures, increasing the use of energy for all-night lighting. Lights are now being installed where previously we did not think they were necessary. Also, the emitted white light blinds our night vision and overwhelms the natural night. The light fixtures create a small illuminated patch at the expense of seeing the distant treeline, which provides our peace of mind with a “sense of place” and has taken the night sky from our children.
Fifty years ago, you could see the Milky Way from the suburbs of major cities, but now that is virtually impossible. More importantly, the loss of darkness and the stars at night impacts our physical and mental health. Artificial light at night changes our body’s natural mechanisms to fight disease, including cancer.

How could we let this happen? Only in the last 20 years has outdoor lighting become so bright that these issues have become obvious to medical researchers and philosophers. The night sky becomes featureless and no longer worthy of our attention. As we lose the experience of nature, we lose our perceived connection to it.

There is hope on the horizon. It begins with national and international programs to “protect the night” and the 60 percent of all life that depends on it.

We have Dark-Sky Preserves. Public and commercial parks and even municipalities that want to reduce their impact on the environment can work toward achieving this designation by limiting the amount of light pollution they emit. Technology is making this much easier, but applicants must still make the effort to use light carefully.

The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) manages the Canadian program that recognizes the protection of large rural areas and even large urban parks. The critical requirement is the Canadian Guidelines for Outdoor Lighting (CGOL, pronounced “seagull”), which is available, along with the application requirements, on the RASC website (rasc.ca/dark-sky-site-guidelines). These are the only lighting guidelines based on human vision and the sensitivity of wildlife to artificial light.

The International Dark Sky Association in Tucson, Arizona, has its own program (darksky.org/our-work/conservation/idsp/become-a-dark-sky-place). The association’s outdoor lighting requirement is not as eco-centric, but it will designate sites around the world.

However, these programs recognize protected areas, whereas wildlife do not stay within our surveyed boundaries. We have the ability and technology to cut light pollution at the source by using lighting with low ecological impact. These products have been developed in Canada, and now other manufacturers are beginning to copy the technologies.

How can your town get on board? The scientific research has defined the course with the following four easily achieved principles.
  1. Do shield light fixtures so that no light shines beyond your property. This cuts glare and light trespass and reduces the amount of energy you use for lighting.
  2. Do not use white light. The blue colour that makes it look white amplifies the sensation of glare, and is the most bio-disruptive light we produce. We can use shielded low-power “bug lights” around your home, and municipalities should use fully shielded amber LED street lights.
  3. Do not over-light. The lighting industry recommends a reasonable light level on residential streets. Do not exceed them. With shielded amber lights, we can see better with less.
  4. Schedule the light based on need. Rush hour is typically over by 10 p.m., so lighting levels for peak traffic can be dimmed for most of the night.
Some local governments have developed or are considering developing policies that illuminate their town to many times the industry safety levels, but there are consequences. Over-lighting creates distraction and glare, which slows reaction times and undermines visibility, safety and security, and the higher cost is carried by all taxpayers—not just the city officials or politicians who make these decisions.
Now that we know what we are losing and that there are solutions, we need to reduce the use of white light and unshielded fixtures. 

Your neighbours won’t do it unless you ask, and cities won’t do it unless you demand it of your elected officials.

Welcome to June!

Oh the lovely days of June. The finishing of the school year and all the ceremonies, fun days, warm glorious weather as the northern hemisphere continues to lengthen its days.

Nights full of stars, no. matter how short the dark. Long, languid days where the whole world seems alive and humming.

Sometimes this is the reality of June. But there is also the drying out of our environment, the sudden and scary reality of forest fires, reminders in our quiet moments of old wounds that need healing and work we need to do around that healing. 

This month we are going to focus on how we can release and heal. Release past traumas we have had and heal into the vibrant human beings we are meant to be. For those of you who enjoy a formal challenge and find that you do better with some support and accountability, there is an Exhale Challenge for the whole month that will really help you get the results you want. Send me a PM if you want an invitation!!

But even if you just want to work away on your own, THIS is the month to really release those old emotions, stories, traumas and circumstances so you are fresh and growing, just like the Earth around you!

10 tips for coping with wildfire smoke


By Dr. Sarah Henderson

Wildfire smoke is a complex mixture of fine particulate matter, called PM 2.5, and gases, such as volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide. The composition of the mixture depends on many variables, including the fuels that are burning, the temperature of combustion, the weather and the distance from the fire. Although wildfire smoke is different from the air pollution caused by traffic and industry, it is also harmful to human health.
Wildfires cause episodes of the worst air quality that many people will ever experience. Fine particulate matter can be inhaled deep into the lungs, where it may lead to systemic inflammation that affects other parts of the body.
On smoky days, more people visit emergency rooms, more people are admitted to hospital and some people will die because of the smoke exposure. We also know that PM 2.5 can affect the immune system, which may make some people more susceptible to acute respiratory infections such as influenza and COVID-19.
Coping with intense and prolonged wildfire smoke is difficult, both physically and mentally. I have been studying how this unpredictable and extreme type of air pollution affects the respiratory and cardiovascular health of exposed populations for many years. Here are 10 tips to protect yourself and your family from the risks of wildfire smoke.

A forest fire burns in amongst trees, causing smoke

1. Understand your susceptibility

Pregnant women, infants, young children, older adults and people who work or live outdoors are also more susceptible. Anyone who uses rescue medications should carry them at all times.

2. Listen to your body

Different people can have very different reactions to the same amount of smoke. If you feel unwell, listen to your body and take actions to reduce your exposure.
The most common symptoms include eye irritation, sore throat, cough and headache, which usually disappear when the smoke disperses. Anyone who has more severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing or heart palpitations should seek medical attention.
Smoke is an environment hazard to be respected, not a personal challenge to be overcome.

3. Take it easy

The harder you breathe, the more smoke you inhale. The average resting adult breathes about six litres of air per minute, but this can easily increase to 60 litres during intense exercise.

4. Use a portable air cleaner

Portable air cleaners with HEPA filters can significantly reduce indoor PM 2.5 concentrations when used properly. Smaller units can be used to keep one room relatively clean as a place to seek relief when needed.
A high quality furnace filter taped to a box fan can also do a pretty good job in a small room, although do-it-yourself devices should never be left running unattended.

5. Seek comfortable spaces in the community

Public places such as libraries, community centres and shopping malls often have large air filtration systems and relatively good indoor air quality. Unfortunately, access to some of these spaces may be restricted during the COVID-19 pandemic, so making a comfortable space at home is more important than ever.

6. Consider wearing a protective mask

One silver lining of the COVID-19 pandemic is that we have learned new things about face masks. Although a well-fitted N95 respirator will always be the best option for wildfire smoke, recent research shows that other masks can provide reasonable protection from PM 2.5 if they are closely fitted around the face. Masks with multiple layers of different materials were the best for filtering fine particles.

7. Drink plenty of water

I know, I know… everyone is always telling you to drink more water. Staying well-hydrated helps the kidneys and liver to remove toxins, which can reduce any systemic inflammation caused by wildfire smoke exposure.

8. Know where to find information

The air quality impacts of wildfire smoke can change fast. Know how to stay updated on conditions in your area. Smartphone apps such as the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) in Canada and SmokeSense in the United States can send alerts when air quality starts to deteriorate.

9. Pay attention to wildfire smoke forecasts

Forecasting wildfire smoke is even more difficult than forecasting the weather, but the models are improving every year. Tools such as FireWork in Canada and BlueSky in the U.S. show smoke predictions for the next 48 hours.

10. Start preparing for next season now

Wildfire seasons are getting longer and more extreme as the climate changes. The best way to protect yourself from smoke is to plan and prepare well before the smoke arrives. There is increasing recognition that we must learn to live with wildfire and smoke in western North America.
On that note, I often get asked about the long-term health effects of extreme and repeated wildfire smoke exposures. Not much is known at this time, but it is an area of active research and I think we will learn a lot in the next five years. Even so, please remember that taking action to reduce exposure in the short-term will also help to protect you and your family in the long-term.The Conversation
More Supports by Dr. Loreena Ryder ND include:

Adding moisture to the air through a diffuser can also protect your lungs and make it easier to breathe. This is especially beneficial when you are breathing in wildfire smoke, as the tiny particles in the smoke can result in coughing, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath and so on Diffusers are known for emitting essential oils into the air for your body to absorb. Essential oils such as eucalyptus or rosemary work to heal your lungs and decrease respiratory symptoms.

Herbs are another natural and effective way to strengthening your lungs and prepare them for the wildfire smoke. Consuming herbs such as turmeric, ginger, licorice root, ginseng, and cayenne pepper through tea or within your food can help sooth irritated respiratory tissue and improve your breathing. Herbs can also be used as a remedy for asthma, allergies, illness, and many other health conditions.

Benefits of Dry Brushing


What if we told you that with just a few minutes each day you could have a radiant, glow, soft and smooth skin, increased energy, and help your body remove toxins all at once? Sound too good to be true? Well, it isn’t!! Say hello to dry brushing.
Dry brushing is a simple health habit that can have incredible benefits for your skin tone, texture and even your energy levels.
Dry brushing uses a slightly coarse brush to sweep away dead skin cells, stimulating the hormones and oil-producing glands in the skin, increasing circulation and assisting the body in the removal of toxins.  

There’s something that feels so good about dry brushing in every season but especially in summer!

It’s best to incorporate dry brushing into your daily routine either before or after your shower.  You can choose morning or evening depending on what works best for you but what matters most is when and how to apply your lotions and oils.

Shower before skin-brushing if you’re using Cel-Lite Magic Massage Oil on the brush. You can also shower after dry brushing and then apply the massage oil directly to the skin.

Choose a medium soft brush and be gentle on your skin. Your skin shouldn’t scratch or be damaged in any way. Use firm, small strokes upward, or work in a circular motion. Start at your feet and brush upward toward the heart. 

Similarly, when you start on your arms, begin at the hands and work upward. For the stomach, work in a clockwise direction using very gentle strokes. Avoid the chest and very sensitive areas.

Dry brushing in conjunction with using Cel-Lite Magic Massage Oil is a wonderful habit for healthy skin! We love to add a bottle of Cypress directly to the bottle of Cel-Lite Magic for more lymph stimulation.

Getting Light In Winter

Top 4 Lighting Habits for Winter


The darkest days of Winter are now starting to ease but many of us will still be leaving work after sunset and in some cases arriving before sunrise.  And yet, our bodies depend upon exposure to bright natural light during the day to feel awake and alert – we need bright blue-rich light stimulate our energy, mood and metabolism!    Unfortunately, the artificial lighting in our homes and offices does not provide nearly enough light during the day to make us feel energized and alive.  Artificial light does not provide the cues we need to maintain our circadian rhythms and overall health and wellness.  When we fall back at the end of daylight savings, we spend more time with artificial light and it becomes even harder to connect with the cycles of natural light.  Shifting our time clocks also requires our body clocks (circadian rhythms) to adapt.   Fortunately there are a couple of practical things we can do when we fall back to standard time, here we share our Top Four Healthy Lighting Habits to offset the season of darkness.

Top four healthy lighting habits!

How not to fall back into darkness

(1) remind your body it’s day time = get outside during the day

15-30 minutes of daylight each morning will help you feel better and sleep easier. 
note: it doesn’t have to be sunny and you don’t have to exercise – just enjoy the light!
Science: most cloudy days are still 10-100x brighter than your average office

(2) Minimize your exposure to blue-rich light two hours before bed

Use incandescent, or blue-light free LEDs in your bedrooms and evening spaces
note: screens emit an enormous amount of blue light – use f.lux, Nightshift,  in the evenings
Science: blue light signals daytime and therefore disrupts sleep and recovery

(3) Choose indoor lighting which is similar to the cycle of natural light

 Favor brightly lit spaces during the day (especially in the morning) and avoid dimly lit spaces!
Note: you don’t have to live in darkness at night – use blue-free light sources safely at night
Science: sunlight is bright and blue-rich, fire and candle light is soft and contains no blue light

(4) Use light therapy as a way to get extra bright blue-rich light each morning

For those with difficult climates or schedules, use a light therapy lamp each morning
Note: as little as 15-30 minutes of extra light exposure each morning supports energy, mood and sleep!
Science: we need sufficient bright blue-rich light during the day for healthy circadian rhythms

Another issue with low light in our hemisphere in winter is Vitamin D levels. 

Vitamin D is an essential vitamin that your body uses for normal bone development and maintenance. Vitamin D also plays a role in your nervous system, musculoskeletal system and immune system.

You can get vitamin D in a variety of ways, including:
  • Sun exposure on your skin (however, people with darker skin and older people may not get enough vitamin D through sunlight. Your geographical location may also prevent adequate vitamin D exposure through sunlight).
  • Through the food you eat.
  • Through nutritional supplements.
Despite all these methods to get vitamin D, vitamin D deficiency is a common worldwide problem. In North America we compound the problem by using sun screens which effectively block the sun from our skin and mean we do not make enough Vitamin D when we are out in natural light.

Vitamin D supplementation is key to healthy immune over winter.

Seasonal Affective Disorder

from Everyday Health

If shorter days and shifts in weather zap your energy and make you feel blue, you’ve got classic symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) — a form of depression triggered by changes in daylight and weather that occur primarily in winter.

Why do some people get SAD? Experts aren’t certain, but some think that those seasonal changes disrupt the body’s circadian rhythm, the 24-hour clock that regulates how we function during sleeping and waking hours, which cause us to feel energized and alert sometimes and drowsy at other times.

Another theory is that the changing seasons disrupt hormones, such as serotonin and melatonin, which regulate sleep, mood, and feelings of well-being.

Whatever the causes of one’s SAD may be, the signs and symptoms typically can include:
  • Feelings of depression that happen most of the day, every day, in a seasonal pattern
  • Having tiredness or low energy
  • Loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy
  • Changes in appetite or weight gain
  • Sleeping too much

1 Talk With Your Doctor

Talk With Your Doctor

Because SAD is a form of depression, it needs to be diagnosed by a mental health professional. "There are a number of screening questions that can help determine if someone is depressed," Dr. Pierce says. "Your doctor will be able to sort out whether    you have SAD as opposed to some other form of depression."
If you have SAD, seeing a professional can help you work through it. About 12 years ago, Arlene Malinowski, PhD, 58, recognized she had SAD when she read about the symptoms in a  magazine article.
“I would notice a drop in how I felt and perceived the world in the winter,” the Chicago resident recalls. The psychiatrist she had been seeing for depression confirmed it.

2 Ready Your Mind in the Fall

Ready Your Mind in the Fall

As you prepare our homes for the fall-to-winter transition, you may want to consider preparing your mind, too.

Regularly allotting time for mood-boosting activities can help people feel physically and psychologically healthier, says psychologist Kim Burgess, PhD, founder of the Pediatric Psychology Center in Rockville, Maryland, and an adjunct associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Washington, D.C.

“It’s better to set yourself up for the winter season by starting in the fall season — doing enjoyable activities, initiating friend group chats and outings, choosing fun hobbies, and engaging in clubs or community service,” says Dr. Burgess.

Regularly taking part in these activities ahead of time is much easier than trying to start from scratch once the winter blues have already set in, she adds
                                

3 Try Light From a Box

Try Light From a Box

Bright light therapy — exposure to artificial light to help keep one’s circadian rhythm on track — is widely considered a first-line treatment option for SAD, according to a review published in 2017 in the Einstein Journal of Biology and Medicine. One way    to try bright light therapy is by using a light therapy box.

Also known as phototherapy boxes, these devices give off light that mimics sunshine and can help in the management of SAD, according to the Mayo Clinic. The light from the therapy boxes is significantly brighter than that of regular light bulbs, and is provided in different wavelengths.

Typically, you’ll sit in front of the light box for about 20 to 30 minutes a day. This will result in a chemical change in your brain that boosts your mood and alleviates symptoms of SAD, the Mayo Clinic reports.

Experts usually recommend using the light box within the first hour after you wake up in the morning, the Mayo Clinic adds.

Although often safe and effective, light therapy boxes are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Be sure to talk with your doctor about whether a light therapy box is right for you.

4 Use Dawn Simulators

Use Dawn Simulators

Dawn simulators can help some people with SAD. These devices are alarm clocks, but rather than waking you abruptly with beeping or loud music, they produce light that gradually increases in intensity, just like the sun.

Different models of dawn simulators are available, but the best ones use full-spectrum light, which is closest to natural sunlight. Researchers found that dawn simulators were as effective as light therapy for people with mild SAD, according to a study published in July 2015 in the Journal of Affective Disorders.

5 Consider Taking Antidepressants

Consider Taking Antidepressants

If light therapy or psychotherapy don’t completely relieve your symptoms, prescription antidepressants may help you overcome seasonal depression, as long as you avoid medications that might make you sleepy, reports the Royal College of Psychiatrists.

When taking antidepressants for SAD, you’ll typically need to use the medication from autumn until spring, the organization says.

It's important to recognize when the symptoms of SAD start, and to see your doctor for a prescription before they escalate, says Ani Kalayjian, EdD, an adjunct professor of psychology at Columbia University in New York City.

6 Prioritize Social Activities

Prioritize Social Activities

Dr. Malinowski tries to get the jump on treating SAD by filling her winter months with enjoyable activities. “Proactive is the way to go,” says Malinowski, who participates in a writing group and book club.

Why are social activities important if you have SAD? Studies have found a causal relationship between social isolation and depression, says Burgess. And lately, isolation has been in no short supply as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

One recent review article addressed the mental health impact of quarantining during the ongoing pandemic. The review, published in March 2020 in The Lancet, indicated that these periods of isolation can have a long-term psychological impact on people, including symptoms of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Finding creative ways to stay connected with others during times of increased isolation is important, says Burgess. She suggests hanging out with relatives and friends at a local park, playing outdoor sports or yard games, or going on walks when the weather allows.

If wintertime darkness, weather, and COVID-19 have you staying indoors more than desired, there are ways other than in-person interactions to socialize.

“When the winter weather makes it super cold to be outside or unsafe to drive, we can FaceTime with friends and extended family members or set up Zoom calls with them,” Burgess says.


7 Add Aromatherapy to Your Treatment Plan

Add Aromatherapy to Your Treatment Plan

Aromatherapy — the use of essential oils for therapeutic purposes — may also help those with SAD.

A review published in June 2020 in the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine    indicates that essential oils could potentially help lessen symptoms of depression and other psychological issues like anxiety and sleep problems.

That said, the authors of the review note that evidence of the mental health benefits of essential oils thus far are small and somewhat limited in usefulness.

When it comes to SAD in particular, essential oils could potentially influence the area of the brain that's responsible for controlling moods and the body's internal clock that influences sleep and appetite, Dr. Kalayjian says.

And although the evidence for aromatherapy may be limited, using essential oils could be a simple and safe way to improve mental well-being — particularly when paired with another soothing activity, like a taking a bath or enjoying company by candlelight.

Make sure you use a high quality and trusted brand of essential oils as oils are one of the most adulterated products on store shelves. You want to be confident that what it says on the label is what is in the bottle and that those oils have been distilled with the safest, most supportive methods possible. 

If you need help choosing oils to help, drop me a PM and we can talk!


8 Stick to a Schedule

Stick to a Schedule

People who live with SAD often have trouble sleeping at night and getting up in the morning. Maintaining a regular schedule improves sleep, which can help alleviate symptoms of seasonal depression.

"Keeping a regular schedule will also expose you to light at consistent and predictable times," Pierce says. And eating at regular intervals can help you avoid overeating. Many people who live with SAD find they gain weight in the winter, according to the Mayo Clinic.

9 Get Moving

Get Moving

As it does with other forms of depression, exercise can help alleviate SAD. Exercise can also help offset the weight gain that is common with SAD, Kalayjian says. Malinowski says she's more vigilant about sticking with her exercise and yoga routine in the dead of winter

Outdoor exercise is most helpful for relieving SAD symptoms. But if you can't exercise outside because it's cold or snowy, try using a treadmill, stationary bike, or elliptical machine set close to a window at home or at the gym.

Not comfortable going back to the gym yet because of COVID-19? You can still break a sweat at home by following instructional workout videos online from organizations like the American Council on Exercise and the National Strength and Conditioning Association.


10 Let the Sunshine In

Let the Sunshine In

If you have seasonal depression or wintertime SAD, you'll want to get outside as much as you can during the day to take advantage of what sunlight there is. On cold days, bundle up and take a stroll around the block at noon or soon after — that's when the sun is brightest.

Also, when you're indoors, keep your blinds open to let in as much natural light as you can. And if you’re working remotely, choose a workspace near a source of natural light if possible. Indoor lighting is much dimmer than natural light, and this can negatively affect SAD symptoms, reports Yale Medicine.

11 Take a Vacation or ‘Staycation’

Take a Vacation or ‘Staycation’

Taking a winter vacation to warmer climates can help alleviate symptoms of SAD by helping you escape cold and overcast skies, Kalayjian says. Even a short break from your daily routine in a sunny place can be helpful with winter depression.

“The excitement that can lift your mood can start as you prepare for your vacation and linger for a few weeks after you return,” Kalayjian adds. Malinowski plans visits to warm-weather friends in winter for just that reason.

If your travel plans have been sidelined by the COVID-19 pandemic, consider planning a “staycation” instead — taking time off from work and finding ways to experience typical vacation activities within your own home and community.


12 Consider Avoiding Alcohol

Consider Avoiding Alcohol

People may drink more for many different reasons during times of stress or sadness, Burgess says. “When someone is feeling ‘down’ they are more likely to drink alcohol, but drinking causes further depression, hence the downward spiral,” she explains.

Also, if you notice that you’re drinking on more days of the week than before, or drinking a larger amount of alcohol than you used to, these changes could eventually lead to an addiction, she says.

Burgess says it’s important to determine what’s behind the behavior. She suggests asking yourself, “Why do I think I’m drinking more?” If you think you may have a drinking problem, talking your doctor can also help, Burgess adds.

13 Keep a Journal

keep a Journal
Writing down your thoughts can have a positive effect on your mood. "It can help you get some of your negative feelings out of your system,” Kalayjian explains.

How can journaling help you cope with depression? According to the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, it works by helping you prioritize life’s problems and identify your depression triggers, as well as what helps lift your mood.

Include your thoughts, feelings, and concerns when you journal. A good time to do so is at night so that you can reflect on all that happened in the last 24 hours.


14 Get Enough Vitamin D

Get Enough Vitamin D

Vitamin D deficiency may be a risk factor for depressive symptoms. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) states that low levels of vitamin D — caused by low dietary intake of this vitamin or not enough sunlight exposure — are common in people with SAD.

Experts don’t know for sure whether taking vitamin D supplements can relieve symptoms of SAD, the NCCIH reports. But ensuring you get enough sunlight during the day and incorporating vitamin D-rich foods into your diet may help.

Talk to your doctor about testing your vitamin D levels and whether supplements would be right for you, Kalayjian suggests. Malinowski upped her vitamin D during the winter at her psychiatrist’s suggestion and has found that it helps.
