Impact of intent

The Impact of Intent

Whether it's, herbs, supplements, medications, or nutritional protocols - many can be more effective when they are synergized or supplemented with other things.

The exceptions are prescribed or OTC medications that are synthesized and manufactured only to affect symptoms. Not surprising, these drugs are ignorant. Not smart at all. They are engineered for their process, and that's what they do. Nothing else. Whether it is helping or hurting the body.

There are supplements and natural products, such as essential oils that not only work well with - but flourish while using with other supplements or synergizing efforts to get the maximum efficacy from the original product.

Many such synergizing efforts might be to "get extra rest", or to combine with a healthy diet, or use another supplement to enhance efficacy.

An example would be a common cold. For an oiler that has very limited oils, he might use peppermint to help clear congestion. However, it might be suggested that he find additional oils or blends like lime, oregano, or on guard which can reduce mucus, or inhibit viral growth, or help clear sinuses. Used together they can be more powerful that peppermint alone.

But what about synergizing actions that maybe not considered main stream or normal?

Some oilers synergize with prayer or thanks and gratitude. Others with fasting, or quite simply... intent.

Can intent change the effectiveness and frequency of an essential oil or blend? The fact is we live in a harmonious and coefficient universe. Our thoughts and faith, or actions, our doubts and fears, or intentions... All have an effect on everything.

My theory is...

If you think it won't help, it probably won't.

If you doubt it will help, I doubt it will.

If you fear it won't help, it likely won't.

If you think it might help, it might help.

If you know it will help, it will.

Oils amplify intent.

This applies to the one giving as much as the one receiving. Have you ever timidly given someone an essential oil or supplement hoping it will relieve them of an ailment or sickness. Then your fearful to following up because, "what if it didn't help"?

Will there be a difference if you give someone an essential oil or supplement believing it will help them, then explain exactly how they should use it, that it WILL help, but they need to be consistent, always believing?

Then follow up and if they were expecting more from the oil, explain that it may be necessary to switch up to an oil that might be more effective for your body. These oils do work, and you just need to find the one that works best for you, then give it time to work.

If you are sharing the oils, ask if you can apply them. Help the person relax, calmly share your belief in how they work while you're applying the oils. Share your faith in the oils with them. As you magnify the intent of the oil, and share your confidence in them, it will increase the faith of the receiver.

Essential oils vs Drugs

Big Pharma vs Alternative medicine Big pharmaceuticals produce some amazing medications. There are many good people that research and help in the development and production of these drugs. There are some documented problems that come from such a financially driven industry however. In a multi-trillion dollar industry, how can there not? In the medical report "Death by Medicine" Dr's. Carolyn Dean, Martin Feldman, Gary Null, Debora Rasio and Dorothy Smith, claim nearly 800,000 people in the United States die every year from conventional medicine mistakes. That's a staggering number, equivalent to the casualties of six jumbo jet crashes a day for an entire year. One in every seven patients in a hospital will suffer an adverse drug interaction during their stay, ranging in severity from rash and adverse reactions to death. Could there be a dangerous interaction between a drug and essential oils? If there have been cases of adverse reactions to ANY degree between essential oils and pharmaceuticals, I have not heard of a single case. I have read many reference books and technical articles, always searching for this concern. These books, reports and articles are by trusted doctors, pharmacists, chemists, and biologists. If there have ever been concerns over such interactions, no cases have ever been documented. Drug companies do not like natural products because they cannot be patented. Natural products must conform to natures order, schedule, and temperament to properly produce. Drug companies have their own schedules, their own price points and they need control of the entire process. They do not honor natures order, nor do they have the patience to respect nature's time table. The bottom line is that Pharmaceuticals and Essential oils work in contrasting ways. Pharmaceuticals are ignorant. They are programmed to carry-out certain actions, whether the body will benefit or not. Oils are intelligent; they bring balance to the body. As the body changes essential oils adapt. Pharmaceuticals are designed to deceive our cells and send signals that trick the body into constraining symptoms. They never deal with the actual root causes of disease. Because they blindly attack these symptoms, they inevitably disrupt other functions in the body. We know this as side effects. Pharmaceuticals adulterate and impair or sometimes destroy the immune system, blindly killing good and bad bacteria and cells. Essential oils only kill malignant cells and bad bacteria, allowing good bacteria and healthy cells to thrive. The most grievous difference is that pharmaceuticals toxify, clogging and deceiving molecules and cells, while essential oils detoxify and work in harmony with these receptor sites. We are always hopeful that doTERRA can continue to partner with the modern health care community and health care professionals to bridge that gap between traditional and alternative medicine and encourage further study and application of therapeutic-grade essential oils in modern health care practices.

Got Terrishield?

GOT Terrashield? What you need to know. Terrashield is formulated to the most efficient efficacy for repelling most misquotes, flies, nats and tics. If you dilute it more for better coverage using a carrier oil, Terrashield will become ineffective. The best way for effective coverage is to use a sprayer on the original bottle. Helpful but not necessary. After spraying on, wipe the length of your arms, your neck, ears, hands, and face. Keep away from eyes. Terrashields effective use can depend be affected by weather conditions (rain or drizzle will reduce effectiveness quicker), perspiration (perspiration will reduce the length of time terrashield is effective) and the thickness or density of insects. If mosquitoes for instance are very thick, especially at higher altitudes or area's with lots of moister or heavy forest, Terrashield may need extra help. Consider: Clothing that covers legs and arms. A light weight neoprene face and neck mask or tee-shirt wrapped or mosquito netting around the face, head and neck. Terrashield will repel insects from touching area's of coverage, however, mosquitoes when heavy will often "buzz" the area's looking for somewhere to land. Often for some, the bothersome "buzz" is almost as unpleasant as being landed on, stung or having blood "extracted". Sometimes it takes practice learning to ignore the fly-by's, knowing that they will only buzz and not land on the skin. A last resort for areas that have a thick population of bugs or mosquitoes is to spray your clothing with a commercial insect repellent. Keep it away from your skin, especially product containing high percentages of deet, but spraying clothing will add to the effectiveness of keeping the little critters away from you. In most recreational areas that might have irritating flying insects, terrashield is effective, long lasting, and a good smelling repellent that is completely safe to use. GOT Terrashield?

Advertising as an IPC doTerra has provided many tools to help us be successful in our essential oils businesses. It is up to us to take advantage of them and take the reins as we press forward as product consultants. The theme that has seemed to come from this newsletter is to "open your mouths!" Don't be ashamed of what you do and how you feel about them. If someone asks what you do, and you hesitate, you need to clear some blocks. doTerra essential oils are amazing, effective and work fast. Be proud of that. If you are trying to build your business, there are some things you can do. Hold weekly meetings at your home or the home of a team member. Even if you only get 1-2 people to attend, have the meeting. Fairs, conventions, events, anyplace you can have a booth, take advantage of it. Some of our teams best contacts have come from events like this. Ask team members and your up line to help man the booth, share the costs, and help with display items. Let your friends and family know through facebook, what you do and how much you love it. Use your oils often and let people see. Advertise events in local publications and e-publications. Sponsor a little league team. Get the doTerra brand seen. Have a web presence or a blog that you can send people to that know nothing about essential oils. Be willing to share essential oils with those that might benfit from them. Have confidence in their effectiveness and help people apply them the first time they use them. (Do not tell them to "drink a drop of this and rub w drops of that on their feet.) They will forget, be scared, timid and skeptical. Show them how to be confident, trust teh oils, and explain frequency. Most people are too used to "Pop 1 pill and call back in the moring." Most of your advertising, and your most effective advertising will be face to face, experiential advertising. Use your talents to find a way to share the oils. Their are no limits. This is your business, the opportunities are endless, use your imagination, your inginuity, come up with a plan for you and what will lead to sucess!

"It's all about the oils." Not another MLM! When Wendy and I were invited to attend the first doTerra meeting ever, we left with mixed feelings. We had both had bad experiences with network marketing companies. We never had to discuss when asked to be a part of an MLM company, the unspoken answer was a unanimous "no way". But after having just experienced the oils, and hearing the vision and desires of the executives, we knew that to not be apart would be a decision we would regret the rest of our lives. And so we embraced, and engaged. We decided to put 100% of our effort into doTerra, never setting a bench mark, and never looking back. We moved forward with a realization that this would be a remarkable company and that the oils would change our lives. That effort has paid off more than we ever imagined, and doTerra has met or exceeded their goals every step of the way. Good Side Effects As doTerra has formed an identity, the thing that we have always loved about the company and that has remained a constant, for the most part, is that it is first and for most an essential oil company. The opportunity to make money is like a good side effect. So many MLM companies are about how much or how fast you can turn a profit. What we have seen over and over with ourselves and people on the everything doTerra team is that as IPC's, if you put the product first, the business opportunity flourishes. That's not to say that people have not been able to push the comp plan first and have success building a team that way, but our personal opinion is that IPC's will never see their greatest potential begin to materialize until they discover that "it's all about the oils" first. doTerra prides itself on not being the "run of the mill" network marketing company. If you go to a meeting, you will not get a lead in about how much money you can make... or if you just bring three people in... or the start up costs are only $500.00. doTerra does not ask for blue sky start up or franchise fees. There is a very reasonable cost of $35.00 for a back office web site, then as an IPC, you get the opportunity to save up to 50% or more and very minimal costs or no costs for business tools. Any additional money you spend starting up as a new IPC will pay for product, and usually at a deep discount. If you go to a doTerra event or meeting it will be about essential oils, their use, their efficacy, what CPTG is. If there is a meeting about the business opportunity, it will usually be following an oils meeting or a separate meeting all together. Why? Because it IS all about the oils. Why is "being about the oils" so important? There are start up companies every day. The success of any company depends on a good product and return customers as much as anything. If there isn't a good product and good service, then the business will not last. It can have the smartest executive team, the worlds best sales team, and top of the line branding, but eventually if the product is not good the customer will not return. Retention This is where retention comes in. Companies that have return customers will flourish. doTerra has one of the most impressive retention numbers in the business. Looking further, the EverythingdoTerra group has the highest retention number of any groups. Nearly 70%. doTerra as a company is at about 65%. These are incredible numbers, and the result is a growing, thriving company that quarter after quarter continues an impressive upward trend. Why education is so important? When the executives of doTerra decided to start and essential oils company, they looked at all possible sales models. One option was retail sales. They talked about the pros and cons, and quickly realized that with the learning curve required to properly take advantage of these powerful oils, that one-on-one training was required. If you sold an oil off the store shelf, by law, documentation with the oil (let say... peppermint) would be very restrictive in what it could say that it was good for. However, if I helped sell peppermint oil to a neighbor, I could tell him that peppermint can stop hiccups, it has relieved me of anxiety, and angina. Along with some other oils, it has gotten rid of my allergies, and it helps open my airways. It is cooling and helps me stay alert if I get drowsy, and this is how I use it for those things... These things could not be included in documentation that came with an essential oil off of a store shelf. For this reason, it was wisely decided that doTerra's essential oils would be sold by network marking, word of mouth, face to face teaching. As we focus our groups on educating other oilers on the use of essential oils, there begins a cycle that leads to an overall increase in health and wellness. Sharing It is after you have had your own experience, that you get the bug to share the oils. If your motivation is deeply rooted in a personal experience, you are excited to share what you have found with others. Utilization After you have had your own experience, and are actively helping others have their own experience, your confidence and knowledge of essential oils continues to grow. You have more experiences, you get better and teaching others about the benefits and all during this learning cycle you will notice the Health and Wellness of yourself and your family begins to dramatically improve. The Cycle of Health and Wellness 1. You begin to have experiences of your own. (Experience) 2. You become enthusiastic about sharing oils with others. (Share) 3. You grow in your confidence of the use and efficacy of essential oils. (Utilize) 4. You and others are motivated to be lifetime customers. (Retention) 5. You see your over all health and wellness improve. (Overall health and wellness) This is the purpose behind doTerra. To bring essential oils to the world. Being able to have your own business and make money is a nice side effect, but our experience is that if you build your business based on the benefits of the comp plan, your business will be less stable, however, if it is ALL ABOUT THE OILS, it will bring abundance not only in overall health and wellness, but also an abundance of prosperity.

Debunking the debute

It's funny that to many of our neighbors and friends Wendy and I are known as the Oil people. I wonder if they picture us flitting around the house in light flowing saffron fabric clothes, spritzing the air with lavender and patchouli oils as incense and diffusers are filling the air around us.

Of course that is until they've had it with weeks of flu like symptoms, they've lost their voice, and they've broken ribs from all the coughing. They have rashes from the anti-biotic that the doctor gave them that don't work on the flu anyway! (Antibiotics will not work with virus, only bacteria)

This is when they finally knock on the door, where we are greeted with the old axiom... "I'm willing to try anything; do you have an oil for this?"

This is quite discouraging to seasoned oilers who understand how essential oils work and how virus spreads. Even more discouraging that they would not trust you enough to try the oils until there was literally no other option.

What we know about flu virus is that once it enters the body through a mucus membrane, it attacks human cells very aggressively. Depending on the victim's immune system, it will take only a short time before the victim begins to feel symptoms. If you start to fight it aggressively at that point, it is likely that the severity and length of the sickness will weaken.

However, if the first symptoms are ignored or if little or no action is taken, you might find yourself in the middle of a health battle that will take some time and great effort!

Thus, the best way to combat cold and flu virus in the beginning is three fold...

1) Prevent virus from entering a mucus membrane.

2) Keep your body's immune system strong so virus is attacked and stopped before starts to spread.

3) AT THE ONSET (ATO) aggressively use essential oils and other tools to kill what virus has already started.

Cold & Flu Prevent

10 basics of prevention. At the last doTerra convention, what prevention method did Dr. Hill bring up first? 1. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough sneeze or wipe your nose. Tissues should be discarded immediately in a wastebasket. This is more prevention for others in your family or in school, or the work place. But you should also be very aware of what you are touching with your hands. Do you wash your hands after using any facilities? Do you use a paper towel to turn off water faucets, or open or close stall and bathroom doors? I do not use drinking fountains at all during flu season. 2. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Discard the tissue immediately in a waste basket. Again, in consideration of others. 3. Run your diffuser often in your home and at work. What oils? Any oil would be good, but consider On Guard for sure. It was developed to boost our immune systems, and guard us against pathogens. I hear it humming away right now as I write. We have several teachers in our kid's school running them during class time. 4. While we are talking on guard, I would also consider rubbing your children's and your own feet with on guard every night before bed time and every morning before they put shoes on for the day. Not only is it a bonding experience for you and your children, but it will bolster there immune systems. 5. Consider misting your family's bed sheets with a spritz of essential oils before bedtime. 10 drops of on guard or some other essential oil with a ¼ cup of water in a spray bottle - shake well. We sometimes use serenity which will both kill pathogens and can help induce a deeper sleep. 6. When doTerra started carrying Melissa essential oil, Dr. Hill recommended a daily routine during cold and flu season of 1 drop of Melissa and 1 drop of On-Guard under the tongue each morning. Great for boosting the immune system. 7. Put about 1 drop of lemon and 1 drop of lime essential oil for every 10-12 oz of water you and your family drink. Over time this will greatly strengthen the immune system. In our home, we have not had colds or flu of any significance in over a year since we started incorporating essential oils in our household. And this is one have been consistent with. 8. As always, as you clean regularly around your home, use essential oils to clean. Purify, On guard or lemon in a spray bottle used for cleaning will assure pathogen free surfaces. 9. Take care of your body! This might be as or more important than any preventive oils you can take. You must get regular sleep - 8 hours continuous. No late nights or strange hours. Eat healthy food, plenty of fruits, vegetables and water, especially during flu season!! 10. Make your home a happy place, free from stress. A haven with kind words and positive thoughts. Make home a place of safety and refuge. As storms rage on, have your home be a house of prayer, gratitude, health and love. These are all things we can do that will create of synergy of protection for your home and family.

In The Beginning

When you have that first sneeze, itch in the back of your throat, or achy feeling that comes with flu, there are many idioms to describe the needed reaction... At the onset. In the beginning. Combating the commencement. Debunking the debut. Interrupting the inauguration. Engaging at the inception. However you wish to describe it the protocol should be the same. You want to react quickly and aggressively. My wife and President Bush call it "Shock and Awe". It seems straight forward, but how many oilers will feel the first sign and think... "It's ok, I got the oils..." or "I'll get take some on-guard when I go up stairs for bed..." or "Maybe it's an allergy...?" or "I'll take an essential oil bath before I go to bed" or "When I get home, I'll have some peppermint tea and make some capsules..." The last one is the worst; because that likely means that you do not carry essential oils with you. For me and my family, we all have essential oils with us wherever we go. On the go essential oil bags There should never be an excuse for not having essential oils nearby. At home, work, in the car... if you are a student, in your backpack or locker. When that first indicator reveals itself. Hit it, hit it hard, and hit it strong. Shock and Awe. At the first sign of Cold or Flu Gargle immediately, then twice daily with 1 drop oregano, 2 drops on guard, and 2 drops lemon in 1 or 2 tbps of water. After gargling for 3-5 minutes, swallow the mixture. Make 00 size capsules of 8 drops oregano, 5 drops on guard and 3 drops frankincense. Take a capsule immediately and continue taking capsules internally 2-3 times daily. Make a water bottle (12-16 oz) with 2 drops lemon and 2 drops Lime and drink it often. Staying hydrated is an important part of assuring the oils work effectively in our bodies. Diffuse the air that you are working, living and sleeping in if possible. If you are suffering from symptoms, consider oils and blends specific to those symptoms. If you are trying to quarantine areas of healthy air, diffuse on-guard. Get an aromatouch treatment as soon as possible. If I feel symptoms coming on... This is the routine we follow. I have not suffered from a cold or flu lasting for longer than 3 days since following this routine (nearly 3 years). I have not had cold or flu symptoms last longer than 1 day for the last year following the Immune system, Prevention, and "At the onset" protocols. Children that can't take internal treatments, use appropriate oils on their feet, chest and using the aromatouch treatment. This may sometimes seem extreme, but you'll be kicking yourself if you could have jumped on it, but considered it no big deal in the beginning. Using essential oils does not guarantee that you will not get a flue or cold, but from experience I am sure that using oils "at the onset" and during symptoms will lessen the severity and time of recovery.

Can Common Colds & Flu be Good or Useful?

A common cold is actually the bodies way of detoxifying itself to recover from an illness. A common cold or a fever is the bodies way of increasing its circulation and metabolism speed in order to encourage the body to perspire as a means to ridding itself of bacteria and other harmful toxins. Low grade fever is a defense that the body uses to kill viruses and other germs. Scientists know that when the temperature gets to high, germs growing in cultures begin to die. The same is happening in your body when your brain turns up the temperature when you get sick. White blood cells and other protective mechanisms in the body work more efficiently at higher temperatures. Getting a fever is an important part of your body's defense against infection. Draining mucus, perspiration, fever, sneezing, coughing runny nose and eyes are some of the methods the body uses to eliminate toxins. If the body is under stress, not getting proper nutrition or rest. Sometimes a cold or flu is the bodies way of helping itself heal. "If you will not treat your body good, we will force you to rest while we eliminate toxins." Say's the body to the overworked, overstressed, under-rested, malnutritioned soul. Of course colds can still be dangerous if the body does is not given proper rest, and protected from other bacteria and virus while the immune system is low (during cold and flu). Colds for some can easily turn into a more serious flu, pneumonia, or bronchial problems. Also remember that a fever can be an indication of something more serious than a cold.

Great Testimony from new doTERRA-ite

Okay, so I really felt the need to share. I was introduced to the oils
about two months ago because my son had a nasty sinus infection and he
is only 4 months old. A friend told me about them after I told her
that my son was sick and said that I needed to try them gave me her
sisters number that is a consultant for Doterra... It was a big leap
of faith, but I hated seeing Roman sick so I jumped. Courtney was the
nicest person, she talked me into joining, and since she was in
southern Utah and I was in Logan she got a hold of a consultant in my
area and rushed me some samples for my baby.
I have to say that I was really nervous because there are so many
things out there that people are trying to get you sucked into and it
turns out to be a bust! After I got off the phone with Courtney I am
ashamed to admit that I had a little bit of buyers remorse! I had just
spent $150.00 on the Family Physician Kit. $150.00 that I really
couldn't afford, and I didn't even know for sure that it would work!
I got the samples that day and they really seemed to help a lot.
within two days he was was back to his happy bouncy self. My husband
however was not convinced, he was still very skeptical. but I week
later he got the beginning symptoms of strep throat and I made him let
me do a spinal treatment. He fell asleep after I put the hot compress
on him and an hour later he said he felt sooo much better. He jokingly
chalked it up to his amazing immune system. :) a few days later he
punctured his hand with a rusty screw driver while working and it had
hit the bone. He came home with his hand wrapped and swollen and
embarrassed so I called my up line and put frankincense, Melaleuca,
and Lavender on his hand; the next morning the swelling was gone and
his had was not stiff at all! we continued to do it twice daily he
barely has a scar now.
Anyway it seemed to all come at once, everyone started getting sick
and the oils just proved themselves over and over, my mother LOVES
them and she is super skeptical about everything, well the list could
go on but I will just tell you my whole family is sold! needless to my
buyers remorse went away pretty quickly.
I just received my first auto-ship order a week ago and I got LLW
vitamins and I woke up this morning having more energy and confidence
than I have felt in a really long time! I didn't even realize how bad
I was until I woke up and felt this great, and it has only been a few
days! Doterra has built my confidence in more ways than one. So I just
wanted to say thanks to Courtney, Marti, Gina! you guys have been
amazing! It has bee the best investment I have ever made!

~Thank you Mattie~
