Host your own Teleseminar

Teleseminars: Teach Your Gifts
Here is a training that can enable you to start teaching
or ’sharing your gifts with the world’ from home. . . .

Why teach from home in this format?
1 – the crunching economy (you can make extra money doing this
doing what you are already doing!)
2 – you do not have to be ‘technically’ oriented (its
great for the technically challenged)
3 – you can start right away – you don’t have to wait
to get a HUGE online presence going!

4 – this is such a great ‘bridge’ to bring together
your ‘off-line’ work and slowly transition to
your ‘on-line’ work
5 – you have an immediate “Virtual Platform”
to get your messages, trainings, information
out there!
6 – after you learn this it doesn’t cost you a
thing to get started!

Essential Oils

I just received my new Travel Diffuser and essential oil blend called RC and I am SO excited!  I feel like a kid in a candy store – new goodies and they were free!  So here is my shameless plug for Young Living’s December Promotion.

Travel Diffuser & RC

While I am writing this I am diffusing my new bottle of RC.  This is a fairly quiet diffuser, and I am inhaling the refreshing, clearing blend of RC.  While I don’t tend to have congestion or sinus issues, I am definitely breathing more easily and deeply.  And I am feeling calmer and more relaxed.

I have used this blend for people, horses, dogs, and even cats. Consisting of 11 different single oils that are known for their qualities that known for supporting the respiratory system combined into the wonderful blend. Included are four types of Eucalyptus- globulus, radiata, australiana and citriodora as well as Myrtle, Pine, Spruce, Marjoram, Lavender, Cypress and Peppermint.

Various kinds of application can be used.  For some, skin sensitivity may be possible, so if in doubt, dilute with a pure vegetable oil 1:1.

Diffuser in Action

Diffusing is of course an option!  You can also include a few drops in a humidifier,  inhale right from the bottle, apply on the neck, chest, throat, or sinus area.  I have also used RC with a warm compress over my chest when I had bronchitis. Or use it as part of the Raindrop Technique or with a foot or body massage.

When I was first introduced to Young Living Oils 12 years ago I had a really bad cold that had turned into bronchitis and  I was having yearly reoccurrences.  I had been out of work for 2 weeks and I had to sleep sitting up and was breathing through my mouth only.  I was pretty uncomfortable and not getting much sleep.  Nothing I had done was helping prior to the use of oils.

Susan used quite a few oils with me, RC being one of them.  My congestion began clearing within an hour.  That night I was able to sleep, breath and awoke somewhat refreshed. I was back at work in a few days and that day placed my first order with Young Living!  I got several of the kits; Essential 7, Feelings Kit, and RC was in the Golden Touch Kit.  RC was an immediate favorite of mine.  This blend stopped my coughing attacks in its tracks and helped me breath again!  And, I am happy to report I no longer get bronchitis!  I have never looked back.  My oils go everywhere with me now.

With dogs, I place a drop or two of the oil on my palms, rub together, then wipe their back.

Some horses really love the smell, and I let them take deep inhalations with the bottle right in front of their noses.  I will also use several drops rubbed on their chest.

With cats, I have placed a partial or very small drop on my palms, wiped them together, waited a minute, then wiped my cat’s back. While she initially thought it was pretty strong, now she is more used the scent and is ok with it.  She has occasionally had some upper respiratory congestion, and her symptoms have cleared right up!

Hope you indulge in the December promo and reap the benefits of the new travel diffuser and RC.
Enjoy,
Sandy

Essential Oils for Stress

Here is my favorite Essential Oil Recipe for stress reduction and emotional support for people and animals.  I have shared this recipe with hundreds of clients to use for themselves and their animals to help them through difficult times.

How to Use:
1. Valor
•    1-5 drops on bottoms of feet, hold for a few moments or
•    1-5 drops on one wrist & hold the wrists together a few moments.
•    For grounding, developing strength, courage, and self-esteem.

2.  Harmony
•    1-5 drops on solar plexus area, the soft spot below the separation of the ribs.
•    An exquisite blend that calms and balances.

3. Joy
•    1-5 drops over heart region
•    An exotic blend that is refreshing and uplifting.

4. White Angelica
•    1-5 drops on palms
•    Brush the head, face, base of neck, shoulders, chest, arms, Solar Plexus, down the body, over the clothes, as if creating an angelic shield…
•    An exquisite blend that is calming, soothing and encourages feelings of protection and security

Frequency:

The more challenging the emotions, the more frequently I recommend using this recipe.  People find that if they are particularly stressed, using this combination up to three times a day works well.

Why use these oils?
•    Anxiety
•    Stress
•    Grief
•    Vulnerability
•    Sensitivity
•    Sadness
•    Grounding
•    Calming & Soothing
•    Uplifting

I hope you find this information to be helpful and inspirational.

Skunked: What’s that Smell?

We all know that Skunks use their strong-smelling spray to defend themselves. As their only form of defense, it is pretty effective in driving anyone away from them!  Evidently, the spray is composed of a kind of sulfuric acid that they can “fire” or spray from either of two independently operating anal glands.

Did you know that Skunks stamp their front feet as a warning when threatened, giving you a chance to back off?  Although I did not know this and haven’t been sprayed, I guess many dogs tend not to see or understand this warning!  They do seem to find those cute black and white critters to be irresistible sometimes!  For anyone in the country, in the springtime, it is all too often a common occurrence for your dog to get sprayed by a skunk.  If you have had the ‘pleasure’ you know it can take weeks for that smell to dissipate.

My dog Liza got skunked tonight so I got to try this recipe out once again.  and it really and truly does work.  She was pretty upset rubbing her nose on everything when she first came in the house.  I know the scent was stinging my face and I was not the one sprayed!  I put some Rescue Remedy on her first, ten grabbed the and into the bath tub she went.

Here is a recipe, it really works well to cut the skunk oils.

1 quart 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
1/4 cup Baking Soda
1 teaspoon liquid dish soap or Young Living Animal Scents Shampoo

Apply liberally, hold your nose, wash and rinse!

Here are some additional recommendations that I have successfully used:

•    Replace the liquid dish soap with Young Living Animal Scents Shampoo or Thieves Household Cleaner to cut the smell.

•    The Young Living Oil Blend Purification in a spritzer bottle and then spritzed liberally all over the effected coat and areas as needed.

•    The Bach Flower Remedy Crabapple is also quite useful when added in a spritzer bottle with Purification to cut odor as well.

•    Use the Bach Flower Rescue Remedy wiped along their back and ears if your dog is upset.

•    The sooner you wash your dog after being sprayed, the easier it is get rid of the scent.

•    The sooner you wash your dog after being sprayed, the easier it is get rid of the scent.  Perhaps the Sulfuric Acid has not had a lot of time to seep into the skin.

•    You may need to shampoo more than once.  Apply as needed.

•    Spritzing on a daily basis may also be helpful.  Use liberally as needed.

•    Diffuse Young Living Essential Oils such as Purification or Lemon in the house to cut the smells in the air

Internet Marketing for Women Entrepreneurs

Internet Marketing for Women Entrepreneurs with Marilee Tolen is a fabulous class series that I took last year via teleseminars.  The class is geared for Holistic Practitioners.

Wednesday night, Sept. 30, Marilee is having a free teleseminar called “The Single Easiest Way to Turn Your Expertise into Income on the Internet!”  Her new class series begins soon in October.

Marilee is fabulous at simplifying what used to seem like an incomprehensible Internet quagmire to me.   She walks you through easy to understand steps on the computer that I actually had some fun with!

I was interested in learning but very intimidated by Blogging, Twitter, Teleseminars, Webinars, etc.! I thought it was going to be really hard to learn all this since I am not technically inclined on the computer at all. Some people now call me things like a computer whiz and techno geek. What a hoot!  I started The Holistic Animal Blog, Twitter, Facebook, writing new articles, and so much more through this class.

Marilee is a Holistic Nurse, fellow graduate of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, expert with Essential Oils and has created many wonderful programs. I consider her an amazing creative force and resource on Internet Marketing!  My creative juices were fueled through this class and I love the new creative outlets for offering my services and adding in new streams of revenue!!  Since I took this class last year my business has been on the rise, sometimes with surprising new opportunities!

Here is the link to read about specifics for the Internet Marketing Class http://tinyurl.com/MT-IMM-affl

I very highly recommend both the class series and the seminar this week for any woman who is in business for herself and who wants to learn about turning your areas of expertise into additional sources of income via the internet.

Dolphin Dreaming

Dolphin Dreaming in Kona, Hawaii

I write this as I sit amidst tropical flowers & trade wind breezes in Hawaii!  Yes, it is true. Hawaii!  I am so blessed to be here with Linda Tellington-Jones, founder of The Tellington TTouch Method, helping to develop the curriculum for TTouch for People.  It is incredibly exciting.  Working with Linda is just plain joyful.  There is much time for work/play.

This morning we went out on yet another odyssey to swim with the dolphins.  Linda knows this awesome guy with the most wonderful crew – SunLight On Water – and off we went.  Today, I was so blessed to have had multiple encounters with Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins!!!!

This afternoon we will be working on curriculum. Linda got yet another inspiration while out in the water so we will be incorporating it into the work this afternoon.

Fun. Awesome. What an experience. What a sublime gift for wild dolphins to CHOOSE to swim near us, to swim by us, swim back around to be with us time and time again, and to give us a show of tail slaps, leaps and jumps!

Initially when I got in the water, I was so excited I was shaking!  The dolphins were quite close, and I had my first encounter within just a few minutes of getting in the water!  Get this, 6-7 Dolphins swimming along right in front of us, a completely sublime experience.  And then two of them made some ‘Woopie!”  Swimming belly to belly they continued along their very merry way!

Linda had told me just before I got in the water to stay by Ryan, the crew with the camera, just follow the yellow fins! Linda exclaimed, she will know where the Dolphins are. Wise advise.  I was lead to so many encounters by Ryan I cannot even count them!

Linda & Sandy- Woohoo!

I can barely find all the words that describe this kind of experience.  I have heard people talk about swimming with Dolphins and have said things like “profound,” and “life changing.” I am certainly feeling the incredible magic of these playful and wise creatures who have chosen to grace us with their presence!!

With mask, snorkel and fins, I looked around watching for them to appear. Ryan, who seemed to have Dolphin Radar, turned to me, pointed and reached out her hand.  Swimming side by side, with me paddling as fast I could to keep up with her and to get closer to the Dolphins, I felt through her hands a connection to her knowledge and experience in swimming with them.  She knew things!  And sure enough, she pointed again while one swam right up beside me and right past me.  Breathtaking.  Stunning.  Awesome.  Clearly it was a choice for this being to do this swim by.  He/she was so close I could have touched them! I cannot wait to see the pictures!

Another time, they were so deep below us we could not see them directly but could hear clicks and all kinds of Dolphin calls and signals.  And then bubbles began flowing up from deep below us…  Dolphin bubble rings arising!!!  Linda has been going out with China and his crew for at least a decade and had never seen that before!  I would not have known what it was initially had I not seen Dolphins in captivity blowing bubble rings and playing with them on You Tube!  Oh the education available on You Tube!

In between sightings, I would just rest in the water.  At one point, it had been quite awhile since there was any activity from the Dolphins.  I sent out prayers to those I love, sending the magic of the waters and Dolphins.  I sent prayers for my dear friend who was recently in an accident with her horse.  I asked for a sign for her healing – and shortly after, a Dolphin leapt out of the water!  No kidding!

Today is also a special day for another reason.  8 years ago today, one of my very best friends died while we were out on a boat to go swim with Dolphins in Key West, FL.  She had a blood vessel burst in her head and went unconscious.  It was sudden, unexpected and it was of course shocking.  So today is a Healing.  Today I swam with the Dolphins for you My Friend.  Finally I got to live out the dream and desire that came out of our first class in our first year of being students at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. Today I got to swim and live the dream.

In the quiet time, when there had been no Dolphins around for awhile I asked for a sign to show me that Barbara was present here with all of us.  Very shortly after, a dolphin leapt into the air and did a magnificent spin!  My heart welled with gratitude and excitement and I let out a very big squeal of delight.

Mahalo my dear friend, Thank you for your friendship, guidance and gifts.  Like the Dolphins, I know you are beside me still. Like the Dolphins, thank you for gracing my life.
Pictured from L-R:  Linda, Ryan, Sandy, China!!!!
If you are ever in Kona and want to be so well taken care of with the most wonderful crew, go swim with Captain Michael (aka China Mike) and SunLight on Water.  The care and love they have for these creatures is evident in every detail of what they do.  It is clear that they deeply want you to have a full and precious experience. At the beginning of our odyseey China lead a Hawaiian Prayer and call to the Spirits that was so sacred, heartfelt and beautiful. From safety to snacks, equipment and guidance in the water, they show the way and clearly have a great connection with the Dolphin!  Mahalo, Mahalo, Mahalo!

Veterinarians Speaking out against Punishment and Dominence Training

Did you know that an increasing number of Veterinarians are speaking out against using Dominance and Punishment based techniques?

Someone recently asked me my opinion of Cesar Milan, also known as “The Dog Whisperer.” I know that this is a controversial topic.  He has a show on TV for Pete’s Sake.  So often the logic goes, “He must be good. He gets results, right?”

Punishment, Negative Reinforcement, and Dominance based techniques  are all too prevalent and widely accepted in this country, often without questioning! And now, finally, an increasing number of people are speaking out and giving their position in favor of Humane Treatment, Positive Reinforcement Training Methods with Animals.

Did you know that there is an article written by  the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior stating their position against Punishment based animal training?

Did you know that the AVSAB also has a position article against Dominance Training?

HOORAY! is what I say.  Finally some sense and a firm stance is arising from the ‘establishment’ in support of Humane Training Methods based in Positive Reinforcement rather than the use of dominance and punishment!!!

The  American Veterinarian Society of Animal Behavior has a petition to Merial, a leading “Animal Wellness”  corporation, about a proposed campaign to use the high profile celebrity Cesar Milan as their spokesperson.  This means that Merial, the supposedly ‘Animal Wellness” proponents, support Cesar Milan’s Punishment based training methods in their advertising campaign for their parasite prevention products like Frontline and Heart Guard.  Do you use these products?  Do you support Humane Training Techniques for animals? Which do you want to support?

See & Sign Petition against Merial Corporation to use Cesar Milan in their ad campaign.

Did you read the AVSAB position on Punishment based training? Click to view.

Or the AVSAB Position Article on Dominance?  They write; “This statement has been developed for the purpose of clarifying how AVSAB views the theory of dominance relationships between animals. We also hope that it helps to dispel some myths that have recently become more prevalent among some who work in this field.”  Click to view.

Please feel free to pass along this info.
Thanks,
Sandy
