Massage must be one of the most contraversial topics around; everybody seems to have some kind of thought or emotion about massage, be it positive or negative. A big part of my work is massage; not only doing it, but training others and spreading the knowledge about the benefits of using massage in many places, [...]

CREATING SPACE

If you had to chose only a few items of all that you own – what items would that be? Chances are that you can’t answer this, or need masses of time to figure it out. Our lives are cluttered; with things, ideas, papers, emails…anything. And this clutter grows as we daily add to it; [...]
DOORS

Helen Keller said: “When one door closes, another one opens” which is absolutely true. The problem is that we tend to watch the closed door forever and totally miss the open door (new opportunity). This is also true physically; if there is pressure in a space and one door is closed, the pressure will cause [...]

There are methods with which to change, increase or replace essential oils. Synthesizing: Chemically recreating the aroma in a laboratory. Then you have an essence, not an essential oil. In my earlier entries I have spoken of the synergy in an essential oil and how important it is when we are using it for therapeutic/pleasurable [...]

Cinnamomum camphora Essential oils come from many different plants. They all have a Latin or botanical name. It is extremely important that this is clearly stated on the label. Common names can be highly deceptive and confusing. Besides, the Latin name is global, so language makes no difference. The plants also belong to different families [...]
ESSENTIAL OIL QUALITY – part 2 – pricing

The price of an essential oil depends on many things: How large the yield is, how easily (or not) harvested a plant is and how much essential oil it yields. Another thing to keep in mind is how the essential oil is stored in a plant: The plant contains “capsules” where the essential oil is [...]

Quality is the most important aspect when using essential oils. All the wonderful effects the oils have will only happen when there is a high quality pure essential oil. To understand why this is even an issue, you need to understand the world of scents; how they are used and where they come from. The [...]
CREATIVE CHANGES

The most important idea for success or fulfilling of dreams is limitlessness. There exists no limits except for the ones we create for ourselves. Even physical limits; I have seen a one-legged ballet-dancer…I am sure a lot of people told him it couldn’t be done. Write down what you want to do. Make it as [...]

Know Thyself Knowing others, one is learned; Knowing thyself, one is enlightened. Conquering others requires force; Conquering oneself requires strength. Knowing contentment, one is rich; Having perseverance, one is firm; Abiding in the center, one endures; Even in dying, one enjoys eternal life. Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, XXXIII New times have come and this [...]
STRESS part 4

Stress eats us alive and we don’t even notice it. Our warning-systems have been working overtime for so long, we don’t hear them anymore. A stressed animal tends to move continuously and endlessly in the same pattern without too much awareness of its surroundings. People find this horrible to watch; at the zoo for example. [...]
