Release Your Fears
Fear is sometimes a good emotion, it makes us protect ourselves and our family. Fear can also become a harsh master, keeping you from living a full and happy life. How do we find the balance, how do we find a healthy amount of fear, without it running our life?
Are you afraid? What are you afraid of? As I speak with my friends and customers, I find that fear is a common emotion right now. We are venturing out into the world after the coronavirus. Many of us have been stuck in our homes for months. Many of us haven’t been into a store or restaurant, and now we are daring to venture out. Fear is sometimes a good emotion, it makes us protect ourselves and our family. Fear can also become a harsh master, keeping you from living a full and happy life. How do we find the balance, how do we find a healthy amount of fear, without it running our life?
As a social people, we tend to look to others for what is a healthy social normal. Is everyone wearing a mask? Then I will too. Is it ok to go out, if we stay 6 feet apart? Ok, I can do that. We look to others to show us what is safe. We are part of a “herd”, we just need to remember that the herd can be misled. I operate on a simple principle. 1. Evaluate the facts of a situation the best I can, with what knowledge I have available. 2. Make a decision and move forward. Just DO it, don’t keep worrying about it. 3. So then, what if the fear doesn’t go away? Time will help us heal. But I like to be proactive and use a flower remedy or essential oil blend to help me conquer the fear and let it go.
Did you know that feelings of fear can be buried deep into your body?
Any time we feel strong emotion, a chemical is created in our body. That chemical is sometimes stored in various organs and may create problems later. Some areas fear might be stored are listed here (Taken from the book, Feelings, Buried Alive Never Die, by Karol Truman):
Allergies – fear of sharing feelings with people
Ankles – fear of falling or failing
Bowels – Fear of displeasing a loved one, of releasing the old that is no longer useful, or of not having ample means
Diarrhea or fainting – fear of something in the present
Eyes – fearing the future…not wanting to see life as it is
Feet – fear of stepping forward in life, fear of the future
Flu – Fearing the worst
Hands – fearing new ideas, or a lack of opportunity, or fear of appearing incompetent or foolish
Hips – fear of making major decisions
Hives – fears that are finally surfacing
Indigestion – fear of losing a job, losing security
Laryngitis – fear of voicing opinions
Leg problems – fear of moving ahead with life, fear of change
Respiratory problems – fear of living life to the fullest
Thyroid – fear of self-expression
My hope is that by reading some of these descriptions you might recognize fear, stored in its physical form, and be able to kick it out! I just found a fantastic essential oil blend specific to this purpose. I am using it daily and seeing results. The recipe for this essential oil blend is in the book, I Am Fabulous, by Desiree Mangandog.

Make Your Own Healing Wound Paste
When you have a wound, let it bleed a bit, that will help to clean it out. Don’t panic. Remember that facial wounds may bleed profusely. I usually will wash off the wound with running water and use colloidal silver on it to disinfect the wound.
Healing Wound Paste
Mix together - 1 Tbsp. of each herb in powder form: comfrey root, slippery elm, myrrh, ½ Tbsp. bayberry root, and ¼ Tbsp. garlic
Store powder in a tightly covered jar. This is a perfect addition to your first aid kit.
When you have a wound, let it bleed a bit, that will help to clean it out. Don’t panic. Remember that facial wounds may bleed profusely. I usually will wash off the wound with running water and use colloidal silver on it to disinfect the wound. Then pour on a bit of the healing wound powder right into the wound and apply pressure to stop the bleeding. Sometimes I will add silver to the powder and apply the paste into the wound. Add more powder as needed and then bandage to keep clean.
The next day add more powder if you need to and put on a clean bandage, but do NOT clean out the wound again. Keep an eye on it, looking for infection. The wound will heal from the inside out. The powder will help to stop the bleeding, and act a bit like stitches to hold the wound together, allowing it to heal from the inside out. Never put the powder on an old or infected wound, as it may actually seal the infection inside the tissue causing a deeper problem. I have used this wound paste many times with my family and seen wonderful healing, many times leaving no scars.
Now is a good time to gather the things you might need for those summer activities with your family. Be prepared with your natural first aid kit!
Have a happy and safe summer!

Happy New Year!
Instead of the typical New Year’s resolutions, may I suggest you make it your goal this year to read a good book? Here are a few of my favorites from last year to help get you started.
Girl, Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis
A shame-free plan for embracing and achieving your goals. This was my favorite book all year. The chapter, “Choose One Dream and Go All In”, was read over and over…reminding me to FOCUS. Rachel has a way of getting down to the REAL of things. She encourages us to be honest with ourselves, stop making excuses, and really become what we desire. This year I am reading her first book, Girl, Wash Your Face, and it is just as inspiring.
Fervent by Priscilla Shirer
A Woman’s Battle Plan for Serious, Specific, and Strategic Prayer. This book is not a philosophy about prayer. Rather, it is a practical guide to how to get to doing it! Many of us don’t know how to pray, so we simply avoid it. Talking to our God should be as simple as talking to a friend. It needn’t be formal, but it should be strategic. Find a purpose for your prayers in this book.
Stress Less, Accomplish MORE by Emily Fletcher
Meditation for extraordinary performance by the founder of Ziva Meditation. This book was written to business people, to help them learn how to meditate to relieve stress. It is a practical guide, without some of the “woo-woo” found in other books on meditation. With this simple guide, anyone can learn to meditate! She includes information on studies of how meditation has been proven to work. You may have a skewed view of what meditation actually is, so give this book a chance, you will be pleasantly surprised.
Do Less by Kate Northrup A revolutionary approach to time and energy management for busy moms. In this book, Kate shares a lot from her personal experience in balancing having a new baby and running a business. As women, we do experience life differently than men. It is important to understand how our cycle effects our productivity and to learn to celebrate our femininity. This book could change how you look at your life and work. If you feel like you are drowning in the everyday with too much to do…read this one first.
