Note From Gina

Happy Tuesday!

October is here! The leaves are turning, falling effortlessly to the earth while squirrels are scurrying about finding great hiding spots in the ground for their treasured nuts. I get a kick out of watching them dig a little hole and drop the nut in and cover it back up and pat it in the earth all warm and cozy. I always wondered if other squirrels were watching and keeping track of the buried treasures they could swipe from other squirrels throughout the winter.

I gave a reflexology session at my salon today and I am always so amazed at how empowering it is to help another fellow being on their path to wellness. I use Acutonics tuning forks and hand chimes in my sessions and they, too, amaze me every time I use them. Vibration and sound has such an effect on energy and since we are made up of energy, they resonate so well with the body and help promote balance and wellness.
 
Speaking of wellness, there's one day left for you to sign up and join Gianna and I for our Holistic Health teleseminar.  Gianna went over her information with me and I have to tell you, for those of you who signed up, you are going to learn a lot from her. I learned a few new things myself and she brings such a passion to her work that I could feel it as she was speaking to me.

Aromatherapy Luminary Tip

Imprinting A Specific Intention - 

 
Have you ever smelled a certain scent and it brought you back to your childhood or a specific event? Sometimes we judge these events as bad or good, but what we know for sure is that certain smells can help us to recall certain memories.
 

You can use this information to your advantage and link a certain scent to a specific intention.

 
For example, let's say you have an intention not to get stressed out when you think of all the work you have to get done - you have a pile of paper to organize and file on your desk, bills to pay, laundry to do etc. 
 
 Here are your steps to imprint your intention using essential oils:
  1. Decide whether you will make a spray or an oil blend - for a spray, add a total of 12 -15 drops of essential oils to a 1 oz bottle of distilled or spring water - for an oil blend, add a total of 12-15 drops to a 1 oz bottle with a flip cap.
  2. Decide on your essential oil blend - have fun finding out which oils help you feel calm and centered. Go to your local health food store or Whole Foods Market and start sniffing and buy 1-3 different essential oils to form your blend.
  3. After you make your unique Intention Blend, go to a place where you feel safe and that you love, taking your blend with you. It could be a room in your house or a spot outside in nature.
  4. Sit still in your favorite spot quietly for a couple minutes. Just sit and Be and Feel the calm and solitude that enters your being.
  5. While you are feeling this peace and calm, with awareness, open your Intention Blend and depending on what you chose to make, either spray it around you (closing your eyes) or put some on your pulse points and mindfully inhale the aroma.
  6. Be sure to FEEL the calmness as you inhale the scent - this is how you imprint that scent and link it to the feeling in that moment. 
  7. Carry this blend with you and whenever you feel stressed, take it out and spray it around you or massage it on you and when you inhale its aroma, you will link it to that calm feeling and your stress will melt away.
Enjoy!


*Important Note: Before using any essential oils, check with your medical practitioner if you have any health concerns or conditions or if you are pregnant or nursing.

Happy Hair
One of my very special clients, Katie Reale, came in yesterday to my salon for a new look.... 

Medicine Wheel

It was handcrafted by a woman named Talking Bird. I was immediately drawn to this one (they had a few hanging from the ceiling) and I was curious about the design on it. I read the tag and it explained that the design was a symbol for the four directions:...
