preparing for 2023

 

True humility is the foundation of emotional strength.

Declare "I have so much to learn and I am ready."

You know the feeling of profound ease, wonderment, and awe that comes over you when you look up at the vastness of a starry sky or out at the endless horizon of the ocean? That's quite possibly the best way I could explain humility.

The greatest leaders, the greatest inventors, the greatest scholars share the common denominator of deep humility. They KNOW they know so little. What's more, they have a deep acceptance of others because everyone only knows what they know, and nothing more.

And yet more profound than that is the realization that everyday awareness expands for not only ourselves, but for others. And it is this very perspective which compels them to keep shooting for the stars and sailing for far-off sunsets with hope, trust, grace, and ease.

Many don't know that Gary intended Humility as the first step in emotional transformation. Use before Surrender. Use before Highest Potential. For it puts one's soul in a setting of Infinite Possibility as you discover your own infinite...layer by layer.

HUMILITY
essential oil blend
5 ml

So simple and yet so powerful.

Declare "the illusion of control vanishes."

Because my friends, it is indeed an illusion, and it can vanish the moment we decide. And as soon as we surrender it, relinquish it, we create room for abundance, joy, and peace to enter our lives.

Have you ever had moments, or quite possibly you might currently be in one now, where you feel you are forcing things? Frustration, overwhelm, discord, and anger are taking over? You may even be so aware as to KNOW you are forcing things but no matter the cost, you must. be. right. and so, you continue with your defiant resistance.

Oh Sweet One, you may have just realized how too often you are there…it's ok, I can relate. I have been there. So cheers to us, with our defiant, stubborn ways and our heels dug deep into the ground.

The important thing is that you realize when it is happening. And the reason of this importance is because when you are forcing...you are completely shutting off the entire flow of creativity into your life. Now, lean in for this one...the answer to your problems is in creativity. Creative thinking, ideas, solutions are all blocked by the restrictive energy of being defiant.

The solution, the key, the freedom...all lies in one simple action. One simple word. L E T. Yes, you must simply take a deep breath, and LET yourself surrender. Surrender to endless solutions, endless possibilities, endless moments of bliss and calm and harmony.

SURRENDER
essential oil blend
5 ml

The choice is so simple.

Declare “I walk the path of divine love.”

Far too many don’t realize the reservoir of untapped potential that lies beneath the surface of our mind. Trapped under excuses, fear, and mediocrity. But we do not need to choose the lies. We can instead choose divine love.

HOW TO USE

  • Diffuse while planning your life.

  • Inhale deeply with a drop in your hands, cupped over your nose as you calm your mind from the chaos of the world and focus on tapping into your gifts and talents.

  • Wear as a parfume behind your ears.

  • Gary spoke often about pairing this with VALOR at night. These two blends are effective in erasing limited thinking. Valor balances and equalizes the body’s energies, thereby increasing oxygen intake to the pineal gland — the seat of our higher intelligence and intuitive faculties. You will wake up more self-assured and more alive to start the day.

  • Add a few drops to bath water or a foot soak to help revitalize the entire body and empower the mind and soul.
