Emotions & Sleep

Sleep and emotions go hand-in-hand. Sleep is such a seemingly simple thing that can have an incredible impact on our health - mental, physical, and emotional!  I am so grateful for the time when I can rest when my mind can shut off, my body can relax and my whole self can recharge. When we get enough sleep, it helps us to manage our emotions - but sometimes we still need a little bit of extra support with both!

Sleep 

Sleep is vitally important to our bodies, and When we struggle to sleep it affects every part of our day! During deep sleep, our body can produce collagen, repair body tissue, and increase blood flow and circulation. This can have a direct effect on wrinkles, puffy skin, skin tone, and complexion. Truly, good sleep is beauty sleep!
Lacking a good night's sleep can cause irritability and lack of focus during the day. Combine this with a stressful job, and intense season of parenting, or an upcoming road trip, and the effects can be particularly hard to deal with.
Achieving sleepy time success with oils is not far from your grasp! But be patient. Give your body a few nights to adjust to something new before you decide to switch it up for a different combination.
Tranquil
Tranquil Essential Oil was designed to calm and relax the body and mind. It will help to balance emotions while promoting a deep calm.    All three oils contained in this blend have calming and relaxing properties! Use it during the day to help manage when you are uptight and about to go crazy!
This oil is not only for yourself, but may also help with promoting a restful evening when used before bedtime to relax and unwind. Place it on your neck (brain stem) as you get ready for bed. When we are relaxed before we go to bed we definitely get a better night's rest; then we can handle stress better the next day!
Tranquil essential oil comes in a portable roll-on applicator. The steel ball applicator makes it super easy to apply and provides a small amount of oil to the application area. Perfect for when you are driving down the road or running to your next appointment!
There are many more uses for Tranquil.  Apply to your kids before a Concert at school, before you do a presentation or a big test.
There are three therapeutic grade essential oils in Tranquil.

A few of my favorite ways to use it is to apply it topically with a roller, add a drop or two to my mascara to help my lashes grow, add it to my baths with Epsom salts for relaxation, and add it to my skin serum I make with my oils. I pretty much use it for everything!”

Cedarwood
Cedarwood has a warm, balsamic, woody aroma. It is relaxing and soothing when used for massage, and has long been used as a beneficial ingredient in cosmetic preparations for oily skin. It doesn’t make you feel drowsy instantly but it does promote a restful night of sleep. The smell is liked by some and others not so much but the odor doesn’t stay around long and it’s a small price to pay for a restful snooze. Rub a drop onto the bottom of each foot.

Immupro
Immune-boosting and sleep-supporting - ImmuPro is a power-packed supplement that combines multiple immune support ingredients including naturally derived Ningxia wolfberry polysaccharides as well as a unique blend of reishi, maitake, and agaricus blazei mushroom powders to deliver powerful antioxidant activity to help reduce the damaging effects of oxidative stress from free radicals. ImmuPro also provides zinc and selenium for proper immune function, along with other chelated minerals that emerging science suggests are more easily absorbed by the body. It also delivers melatonin, which encourages restful sleep by promoting the body's natural sleep rhythm. Sleep is essential when the immune system needs to get its defenses going, making ImmuPro a favorite this time of year.
ImmuPro is my go-to supplement for when I need an extra boost of immune support AND a great night’s sleep (melatonin!). Let’s check out the ingredients & see why this supplement is a favorite for so many JoyDroppers!

…………….

• Calcium (calcium carbonate) – supports metabolism & absorption of Vitamin B complex. Calcium is important to overall nutrition, and is associated with healthy bones, teeth, & joints.

• Zinc (zinc citrate) – Zinc is a trace element (mineral) that supports proper growth & immune function.

• Selenium – Another essential trace element (mineral) that has antioxidant properties & supports the immune system. It is often used to support the aging process, cardiovascular health, healthy hormones, & healthy skin. When combined with melatonin, it’s very powerful for brain health!

• Copper Chelate – A mineral that’s benefits include proper growth of body, proper enzyme reactions, & immune system support.

• NingXia Wolfberry – this fruit is a favorite of Young Living members who drink NingXia Red for total body system support. It has extremely high antioxidant nutrients & has natural immune system supporting abilities.

• Agaricus, Reishi & Maitake Mushroom powders – both are known for their immune support.

• Larch Tree wood extract – Supports the color by providing fermentable fiber & also supports the immune system.

• Orange oil – high in limonene, which is widely researched for its health related topics (Look it up!)

• Melatonin – Science has revealed that melatonin supports the natural sleep cycle, AND it’s an antioxidant.

• Strawberry Powder – high an antioxidants & Vitamin C – adds the flavor to ImmuPro since it’s a chewable tabled!

• Rasberry – high in antioxidants & polysaccharides known for supporting your immune system. Also adds to the flavor of ImmuPro!

• Fructose – Fruit sugar used as a low glycemic sweetener.
…………….

Talk about a power packed supplement! And best of all, it’s CHEWABLE!

So when should I take ImmuPro? How often? How many??

Young Living recommends taking 1-2 tablets as needed, at bedtime. Don’t forget that ImmuPro contains Melatonin, so it could cause drowsiness.

** KID-FRIENDLY usage!! One of my favorite tricks is to cut a tablet into 4s to give to my kids when they need an extra boost of immune system support and the bonus is that they also sleep amazing!

TESTIMONIALS
  • “This is my favorite sleep supplement. As someone that has trouble getting to stage 4 sleep I need all the help I can get.”
  • “Love love love the support for my boys that don’t settle into bedtime easily. It’s a must during yucky season.”
  • “My adult daughter has struggled with sleep her entire life. Immupro is the only thing that has helped her and now she sleeps better than ever. So thankful for her Immupro!”


RELAXATION TIPS
  • Prepare the environment // reduce screentime and dim lights an hour before going to bed
  • Maintain a consistent schedule in the evenings, and eliminate caffeine after 3pm
  • Diffuse to relax // start your diffuser at least 30 minutes before bedtime to encourage your body to being relaxing and winding down
  • Try using oils topically // a dab of Cedarwood between the eyebrows, Lavender on your shoulders, a calming massage using oils on the back or feet
  • Brain dump! Active mind keeping you awake? Keep a pad of paper near your bed and write down everything running through your mind as you settle down, allowing space for relaxation.

Emotions

Did you know… smell is the only sense that has a direct effect on the limbic region of the brain? Because the olfactory bulb is part of the brain's limbic system, the part of the brain most closely associated with memory and feelings, smell can call up memories and cause powerful responses almost instantly.
We are all familiar with the experience of a particular smell instantly allowing us to recall a situation from our youth or years prior. This powerful and unique relationship between emotions and our olfactory bulb explains how diffusing and directly inhaling essential oils can have an immediate and positive effect on your mood.
 Some recommended ways to use oils for emotions:
  • Put two to three drops on your hands and rub together. Breathe deeply by speaking an affirmation or scripture over yourself. Pair the oil with an encouraging word and help create positive Connections in your body between that Aroma and your physical response.
  • Diffuse emotional oils when you know you are entering a tense situation or, maybe a work review, a speaking event, a parent-teacher meeting, or a hard family gathering.
  • Place a few drops of your favorite grounding oil on your journal or Bible so the scent is with you while you focus. 
Frankincense 

Frankincense essential oil has long been known for its incredible grounding and healing properties and carries huge historical and spiritual significance. This oil is a must-have for every home because of its versatility!
Lifesteps note: (Info adapted from Eryn Jones)
Frankincense is helpful for releasing feelings of anger, entanglement, and abandonment. This sentiment in feeling form can mean you feel so dependent on or entangled with someone else's opinion or thoughts about you that anything they do makes you angry and triggered. In Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils, Dr. Mein says that the alarm point for this is the "ego- point", which is the center of your chest.
 
If a particular relationship is extra hard, the way out of it is to Surrender and Detach, standing in your own power and security. Frankincense can help you get there!
 
Here's how to use it for releasing stuck emotions related to this:
 
Rub Frankincense over the center of the chest whenever you feel that deep, angry feeling, or when your chest hurts from emotional struggles.
Say statements like: "I am grounded." or "I stand in my power."
Inhale Frankincense until you feel something shift and that burden in your chest gets lighter!
Here are some ways to use Frankincense::
  • Concentration - Rub 1-2 drops on the back of neck or diffuser to help improve concentration. Frankincense is one of my go-to "study oils!" Hear that, Teachers??
  • Moods - Diffuse 3-4 drops to improve your mood.
  • Everyday stress - Apply to the temples and wrists.
  • Skin - To support normal aging skin, apply to skin under daily moisturizer. I don't know about you, but I'm trying to push those fine lines off as long as I can...and at an average of $100 for those fancy anti-aging creams, I’d much rather just add something natural to my face cream.
  •  Meditation - Where my yoga friends at?
  • Brittle Nails - Apply several times per week to nails and base of nails.
  • Sleep - Diffuse at night with Lavender for a restful night’s sleep.
Valor

Valor essential oil features Frankincense, Black Spruce, Blue Tansy, Camphor Wood, and Geranium and was formulated based on historical writings about Roman soldiers who were said to apply plant extracts and botanicals to instill feelings of courage and confidence before going into battle. It is an incredible blend and one of Young Living's most popular oils!! If I had to sum up Valor's benefits in one word, it would be: Balance.
Using Valor for support can be as simple as applying some to your shoulders, the bottoms of your feet, the back of your neck, or anywhere that you're experiencing tension or a stressful tightness in your body. It's the ultimate diffuser oil with its deep, grounding fragrance.
One great technique is to place a drop or two of Valor between your wrists (palm-up side), and then hold them together for a few minutes. If you're taking time to relax, meditate, or work on your spiritual and emotional health, you can just hold your wrists together while you're sitting quietly. I do this on airplanes, before I go to large social events, and any time that I'm feeling scattered or worried instead of grounded and at peace.
When you're using Valor for balance, you can focus on instilling these new thoughts:
  • Peace.
  • Respect.
  • Growth.
Give your body permission to be at peace. Respect that people are powerful to make their own choices, and let go. Give your good habits a chance to grow instead of letting the seeds you plant be uprooted by stress.
Valor essential oil blend contains blue tansy essential oil, an oil that specifically helps to calm the Central Nervous System. Valor essential oil blend releases the emotions of:
  • Losing a battle
  • Inability to cope
  • Fear of conflict
  • Aggression/passive aggression
  • Defensiveness
  • Feeling persecuted
This list practically spells out “Fight or Flight.” These are the core issues of chronic stress: needing to protect ourselves or face conflict head-on. These extremes of trying to stay alive cause our body to tell certain organs or processes, “Wait - we don't have time - we just have to run. There's no time to digest, reproduce, or sleep.”
That's really not a program to have switched on 24/7.
When your body receives the message for years on end that there isn't time to process your own thoughts and emotions, you slowly lose connection with yourself. You can begin to feel like you're not quite sure that you know who you are anymore outside of what you “get done” in your various roles or titles.
The passion in your life begins to dim because of being starved during this survival process. Emotions like happiness, joy, laughter, curiosity, passion, and compassion are essential to a healthy, balanced life. Fight or Flight doesn't shut down the bad emotions, it begins to block them all - except for fear and anger. And whatever triggers we haven't dealt with become survival instincts.
Valor has properties that get to the core control centers of these programs. When we're ready to make a change, to start challenging that survival mode with a better way of thinking and living, this is the perfect oil.
Idaho blue spruce

Idaho Blue Spruce is like a walk through an evergreen forest on a crisp, cool day. Gentle and welcoming, calming and grounding. This oil can be used during meditation or prayer to enhance your practice and inspire spiritual connection and pairs well in the diffuser with spice and citrus oils as well as other grounding blends.
JUST A DROP OF IDAHO BLUE SPRUCE...
  • Has a grounding, slightly sweet evergreen aroma
  • Can be used to enhance yoga, spiritual practices, or meditation
  • Makes a great addition to lotions, oils, and DIY body care products
  • Helps release emotional blocks to bring about grounding and balance
  • May help respiratory function and clearing of the airways
  • Promotes relaxation
Idaho Blue Spruce is a great place to start when it comes to ‘tree' oils. It is woodsy, yet sweet and pairs well with so many other oils to create lovely diffuser blends, roller recipes and DIYs.
Besides smelling wonderful, Idaho Blue Spruce is a powerful emotional tool for releasing blocks and promoting feelings of balance. It has respiratory support properties as well, especially when paired with other lung-loving oils like Lemon and R.C. or Raven. Idaho Blue Spruce can be used with Frankincense for soothing the skin or with oils like Copaiba or M-Grain to support the body's response to inflammation and injury. It is well known for promoting relaxation, grounding the mind, and supporting tired muscles. Talk about a versatile oil!
Idaho Blue Spruce can be incredibly useful for releasing trauma, by applying to the tops of the feet, between where the big toe and second toe meet. As we mentioned earlier, Idaho Blue Spruce is especially effective at accessing the pineal gland, the seat of memory, mood and emotions. We can intentionally use Idaho Blue Spruce to release stored trauma and emotions that are holding us back and creating physical health problems. A great place to start is the book ‘Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential OIls' by Carolyn Mein

cortistop

Stress stored and fought by the body is possibly the number one health danger. It is truly a killer. Making sure we have tools to help our bodies physically and emotionally deal with stress is one of the biggest changes we can make in our health, and CortiStop is THE supplement for doing that!
CORTISTOP AT A GLANCE
  • Works with body's natural balancing systems
  • Supports the glandular systems of women with a combination of pregnenolone, herbs, and essential oils
  • Supports emotional and physical health through stress mediation
BACKGROUND
What happens when you're stressed? Your adrenal glands go into overdrive and your cortisol levels go up. High levels of cortisol cause the body to scavenge for protein to convert into glucose to provide energy for the brain to deal with the perceived stress (also severely depresses the immune system). So, Adrenaline kicks in. Adrenaline is your fight or flight hormone (also helps to control blood pressure, sweating, etc.) Your adrenals can spike creating a feeling of energy then crash with extreme fatigue when they run out of materials to work with. (Feel fine in the morning, but when contemplating work will get extremely tired. The thought of work can wear them out; any type of stress will cause the adrenal glands to over react (extremely tense nervous) or fail to respond (suddenly/extremely tired).
When cortisol is produced too frequently, it can have negative health consequences such as feelings of fatigue, difficulty maintaining healthy weight, and difficulty maintaining optimal health of cardiovascular systems. When cortisol levels are chronically high, it affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, basically affecting all your hormones and disrupting the natural feedback loop. This causes the body to be less sensitive to the ‘Stop Signal,' and creates a vicious cycle of elevated stress signals. This is the root cause of adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue can bring with it negative health consequences such as fatigue, weight gain, and cardiovascular disorders.
Enter CortiStop. CortiStop is designed to address the way women's bodies react to the cortisol produced when under stress. CortiStop is an herb and essential oil supplement that helps to naturally balance the stress response by calming the body and lowering cortisol levels. As cortisol declines, strength and energy return, and the body moves back to a state of equilibrium.
Triggers for elevated cortisol levels:
  • Excess heat/cold
  • Alcohol abuse
  • Coffee drinking
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Malnutrition
  • Personal relationships
  • Physical/emotional trauma
  • Surgery
  • Diseases
  • Big life events - job changes/problems, moving, etc.
KEY INGREDIENTS
Each ingredient in CortiStop is included for a specific reason and system support:
  • Pregnenolone: shown to reduce corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in experimental models. CRH is the first step in the production of the stress hormone cortisol. Pregnenolone is also a precursor hormone from which all other hormones are created. It is important for the body's production of progesterone, which blocks cortisol receptors.
  • DHEA: another precursor for progesterone, DHEA is often reduced as a consequence of stress.
  • Phosphatidylcholine: may protect the brain, liver and stomach during times of stress; also a key component for every cell in the body.
  • Phosphatidylserine: helps to balance the Hypothalamus-Pituitary Axis, benefits cognitive function, and may blunt cortisol production. The effects may be more pronounced in people under chronic stress.
  • Black cohosh: a phytoestrogen that helps counteract the effects of cortisol, helps stop stress responses, and may elevate mood.
  • Clary sage: another phytoestrogen that supports hormone balance and helps uplift the mood
  • Frankincense: a grounding and uplifting oil that also works as an antioxidant within the body.
  • Fennel and peppermint: help soothe the stomach and aid in digestion.
WHO SHOULD USE CORTISTOP?
  • Women who need support or feel the effects of adrenal fatigue.
  • Men can take this supplement when needed! Dr. Purser, the doctor who formulated Progessence Plus, taught in a session on men's health that there is a place for men to be on this supplement in times of high stress and anxiety.
  • NOT recommended during pregnancy. Use while breastfeeding is at your discretion and need.
TO USE
  • Take 2 capsules in the morning before breakfast. If desired, for extra benefits, take another 2 capsules before bed. Use daily for 8 weeks. Discontinue use for 2-4 weeks before once more resuming.

DIY STRESS RECOVERY SERUM (aka daily love for your adrenals) 

The adrenal glands are located just above the kidneys and are known for the 'fight or flight' response... which is great if we're running from a lion, but the constant stress of daily life keeps them on overdrive! Give them some love and keep them going strong:
  • 4oz glass dropper bottle
  • 25 drops Nutmeg
  • 20 drops Clove
  • 20 drops Frankincense
  • 20 drops Rosemary
Apply over the lower back every morning and before bed each evening!
You can use any carrier oil, but castor oil is specifically chosen as the fatty acids in castor oil allow the essential oils to be easily absorbed through the skin. High quality, cold-pressed castor oil can help your body to detoxify and improve circulation.
