“How about a job that you decide your income, raises, and bonuses? One that gets you excited everyday, teaches you how to be a better person and how to inspire and empower others. One that gives you a sense of purpose. One that connects you to a community of like-minded people who believe that feeling good and financially secure is a human right. One that gives you retirement income before the government, stock market, or corporation tells you that you are allowed to have it. One that leaves a legacy to your children. This is my job, I love it, and we are helping people all over the world to live out their dreams. If you want to be part of this quiet and profound revolution, contact me. It’s real and it’s wonderful!” .. Thanks to Jeffrey Lewis for this one. It’s true .. and it gets better than that.
Young Living Sets Records
Our Young Living organization has experienced record growth in both new memberships and purchase volumes in 2011 in a recessionary economy.
October produced a new purchase volume record driven by growth in South America, particularly Ecuador and Peru. The Young Living product line, lead by their fabulous Essential Oils, is driving the market. New memberships are up by over 30% in 2011. The Young Living farm in Ecuador gives the company distinct manufacturing, distribution and marketing advantage in South America; soon to be followed by the opening of a new farm in Peru. This also offers a real hedge against any political or economic instability which may effect the North American marketplace.
A special thanks to the folks who are leading the parade down there .. you know who you are.
More Ningxia / Essential Oil Shots
Alan’s EO Explosion
I recently posted some Ningxia Shot recipes from the recent Young Living convention in Orlando. Since then I have been experimenting with a variation of the The Nuclear Explosion (see previous posts) and here is what I am currently using.
I take these oils in 1 ounce of Ningxia Red (in a shot glass)and stir them with a toothpick. I then shoot it (one mouthful) but do not swallow immediately in order to allow many of the oil ingredients to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the oral mucosa. I have taken these shots both before and after a light breakfast. I think I prefer before but sometimes I forget. My body is “lovin’ it”.
The current EO mix:
Lemon: consists of 68 percent d-limonene, a powerful antioxidant and is a tonic for supporting the nervous and sympathetic nervous system.
Orange: lifts the spirit while providing a calming influence on the body. Orange brings peace and happiness to the mind. It is rich in the powerful antioxidant d-limonene and aids in maintaining normal cellular regeneration.
Peppermint: for soothing digestion, it may also restore digestive efficiency. Ability to improve concentration and mental sharpness. May improve taste and smell when inhaled.
Ginger: Supportive of the digestive system, ginger is commonly used to soothe, comfort, and balance digestive discomfort.
Lemongrass: Refreshing, rejuvenating, stimulating, and balancing, it inspires and improves mental clarity. Lemongrass also supports the circulatory system.
Frankincense: Useful for visualizing, improving one’s spiritual connection, and centering, it has comforting properties that help focus the mind and overcome stress and despair. Also a valuable ingredient in skin care products for aging and dry skin.
Lavender: an adaptogen, and therefore can assist the body when adapting to stress or imbalances. It is a great aid for relaxing and winding down before bedtime, yet has balancing properties that can also boost stamina and energy.
Sacred Frankincense: ideal for those who wish to take their spiritual journey and meditation experiences to a higher level. Frankincense has also demonstrated strong anti-tumor properties.
Copaiba: from South America that has traditionally been used to aid digestion and support the body’s natural response to injury or irritation.
Tangerine: helps with occasional nervous irritability. An excellent oil to help uplift the spirit and bring about a sense of security, tangerine is also rich in the powerful antioxidant d-limonene.
Ocatea: has the highest level of alpha humulene which aids the body’s natural response to irritation and injury.
The experiment continues and I will change it up as the spirit moves me (after more research and intuitively).
Importance of Enzymes
One of the themes of the convention was the importance of enzymes. This has been the most covered topic of many of the past conventions and training sessions I’ve attended. We were told that a lack of enzymes is the key reason why most diseases manifest in the body. Of all the patients that go to Young Living’s clinic with a disease, enzymes are deficient in 100% of the cases. By the time our so-called food reaches our plates, few, if any, enzymes are left. Our food is simply dead, devoid of any life-giving enzymes. Our food is processed and cooked to death. Dead food taxes our body’s ability to digest it and in a few short years our internal storehouse of enzymes becomes depleted and then health problems start to show up. It becomes imperative to supplement with enzymes before every meal to receive the nutritional benefits and keep our undigested food from becoming toxic.
The reason Young Living came out with a full line of enzymes is because Gary Young needed enzymes in the clinic. At first he contacted a number of companies that were touted to have high quality and after testing them, found they worked poorly or not at all. So after much research he realized that he would have to make them himself.
One can do a simple test to see if your brand works. Just make a cup of oatmeal nice and thick so that the spoon will stand up. Then stir in the enzymes and wait a few minutes. If they are doing their job the oatmeal should become very watery.

NingXia Shots
NingXia Shots
Trust me when I say you haven’t experienced convention until you have visited the NingXia Red® bar! Having tended bar at last month’s convention in Orlando, I now have firsthand knowledge. My experience included mixing shots, leading drinking games, and general shooting the breeze with bar patrons. I gained valuable knowledge regarding which oils go well together and also which shots are for sipping and which ones are for shooting. Some attendees showed up with a mix already in mind, but most came looking for a recommendation.
The most frequently asked question was “where can I get a copy of these shot mixes?” No where. Well, until now. Consider this your lucky day!
NingXia Bar Shot Mixes (designed for use with 1–2 oz. NingXia Red)
Who Let the Dogs Out?
1 drop lemon or orange essential oil
2 drops tangerine essential oil
1 drop sacred frankincense essential oil
1 drop cinnamon bark essential oil
Great Awakening
1 drop sacred frankincense essential oil
1 drop peppermint essential oil
2 drops of your favorite citrus oil

The Nuclear Explosion
1 drop peppermint essential oil

These recipes are the perfect way for you to share essential oils and NingXia Red with your friends at your next tasting party! Of course they aren’t a substitute for experiencing the NingXia bar at the next Young Living convention.
Please share some of your favorite shot recipes with the group. Who knows, your shot may end up as the hot mix at the Salt Lake International Grand Convention in June. Oh, and don’t forget to let us know who your all-time favorite bar tender is!

My personal favorite is The Nuclear Explosion to which I add a drop of Copaiba and Ocatea essential oil. It’s a real wake-up. Sure does cut through the jungle mouth early in the morning. Alan
ESSENTIAL EXPERIENCES – Mole on Neck
Dissolved a mole on my neck with Copaiba oil
I had a mole on my neck which would itch most of the time. I would scratch it on occasion and make it hurt. I began applying Copaiba oil to a Q-tip and rubbing it on the mole once every day. Three months after I began to apply COPAIBA neat (undiluted) every day until the mole was completely gone.

I wonder if the mole would have disappeared more quickly if the application of copaiba had been more frequent – say 2-3 times daily . . .

A.R.T. Skin Care
I’m thinking about trying A.R.T. (Age Refining Technology) skincare. I’m in my 50′s. What kind of results have you had using these products?
Mary
Hi Mary,
I am 61 and been using ART skincare for at least 4 years. I work in a few Spas as a massage therapist. In the past couple of years I have had several people including some of the Estheticians at the Spa tell me how beautiful my skin is and how is it I have few wrinkles. I wear no make up and haven’t since about 1970! I think you will find these products do wonders for your skin. I use the day and night lotions and the cleanser. Sometimes I use the orange blossom cleanser which I also love. and about once or twice a week the Peppermint Satin Facial Scrub. I use the Toner sometimes but not always. Hope this helps. Dottie
