Ouch my aching head!

Our lives are filled with stress.  Stress can lead to head aches.  Wouldn't you love to have a natural, safe, effective way to relief an aching head. Well, if you have a few choice essential oils - you're in luck.  My favorite remedy for a simple headache is to rub a few drops of peppermint on my temples, back of neck and then inhale!  But occasionally these headaches are a bit more persistent. That's when I bring out the big guns.  Peppermint, lavender, idaho balsam fir and basil are all awesome at relieving the throbbing head.  Take a sniff and which ever one appeals to you - put a few drops on the back of your neck, behind your ears, on your temples and under your nose.  Just take care you are not around the eyes as the vapors from the oils can be irritating. 

After you've applied the oils, it also helps to put a damp cloth over your eyes and sit quietly for a few minutes.  Ahh, relief.

Be sure you are drinking enough water too.

If you're interested in ordering any of these oils, you can go to my site of www.youngliving.org/tresalaferty and order your headache kit!

Show me the money

Show me the money!  I love using crystals for health and healing but today's Tuesday Tip is getting us prepared for the ever popular Tax Day :( I thought I'd give you one of my own personal tips in order to increase spending money.  Citrine is called The Merchant Stone because it is a powerful stone to attract prosperity and success. Place citrine in your safe, cash register or money bag to increase business.  It not only attracts wealth, it helps one maintain it. As scary as it may seem, I recently misplaced my citrine stone and my little money bag was suffering.  Within a few days of finding it, clearing it, and placing it where I keep my money - my little money pile tripled in size - yay!!!  I also sprinkle a drop of Abundance essential oil in there too - just to be sure.

Tips like this and more will be covered as part of my class series "Speaking to the Earth."  For more information on the class series, click here.

Blue Lace Agate - Peacemaker!

I'm kind of going through a blue phase, not a sad blue phase but a "cool" blue phase...  I'm loving my blue stones these days.  My latest favorite is, Blue Lace Agate.   This stone can can help relieve headaches  and painful swollen glands in the neck.   It calms stress and stress-related conditions and can soothe skin allergies. One of my favorite uses of this lovely stone is making use of it's peacemaker energies. It can send peaceful energies to war-torn places (gee, we need that, right!) Just place it near a picture or other memorabilia of a place that needs peace and let it do it's magic.

At work, wear or carry it when you want to avoid confrontations and it helps you think on your feet. For our animal friends, it can reduce barking in a dog, screeching in birds and yowling in a cat. Just put it near the "offender" or add a stone to their drinking water.

For those spiritual journeyers, this beautiful blue stone develops clairaudience (clear hearing) and helps you deliver your messages in a positive and uplifting manner. It also helps develop your 5th Chakra (throat Chakra).

To recharge your Blue Lace Agate friend, use the moonlight as the moon begins to wax.
