August 2017 Rose Healing News

There are a few theories on how August got its name.  The most popular one is that August is named to honor the Roman emperor Augustus, a man renowned for his leadership skills.  August continues the energy of summer (at least at its start) with lots of art & music festivals, county fairs and high energy.  But it also begins to show signs of autumn’s harvest theme.   We become more aware that the sun light is slowly waning. 

August accentuates community and connection through its gatherings.  It is a time to enjoy the remaining warmth of the earth, celebrate the cycles and generally make yourself more aware of how you use your time.  Fall is just around the corner and we can really feel the energy ramp up as parents, teachers and students of all ages begin to turn their focus to September. So use this time wisely. As I said in July’s blog, summer always seems to fly by so quickly. Remember to put yourself on the list and get in some time in nature and maybe some bodywork too like a massage or a reflexology/energy session at Rose Healing! 

On Sunday July 30th I am offering a Sound Healing Meditation Circle with Crystal Singing Bowls. This event is SOLD OUT. But please mark your calendars for Sunday September 10th from 10 AM to 11:30 AM. $20 offering. Advance signup required by contacting rosehealing@optonline.net. I am planning to continue these on a regular basis.

The Oil of the Month is  Purification

Purification Essential Oil blend has a fresh and clean aroma that is very uplifting.  It is extensively used in my home in my diffusers in the kitchen, bathrooms, and basement to keep the air smelling clean and fresh. We love to add it to our laundry to keep our clothes smelling fresh without artificial chemicals.  It is a perfect blend for neutralizing odors such as cigarette smoke, pet odors, mildew and mold. If you plan to have a party, this is a perfect blend to diffuse before, during and after!  Purification energetically cleanses the room! 

Purification essential oil is definitely one of top ten favorite essential oil blends and I will not leave home without it!  Whenever I travel I make sure I have Thieves and Purification to cleanse any area I will be in – cars, trains, airplanes, hotel rooms etc.

Purification Essential Oil Blend™ Energetic Impacts:

On an energetic level diffusing Purification in a room will purify and cleanse negative emotions and vibrations. Spray some in an emotionally charged room or in your work space, especially if there is anger, violence or chaotic energy.  This is fantastic oil for when we need support in seeing our patterning as it relates to abandonment, rejection, or the fear of being alone. It also can calm anger and conflict and bring back purity of thought and restore order. It opens the sacral chakra.

How to use: Purification Essential Oil Blend™

Use diluted - 50:50 dilution (one part essential oil: one part of vegetable oil). Then,

• Apply several drops (2-4) on feet, ears and temples

• Apply to chakras or on feet

• Directly inhale, or

• Diffuse or place on cotton balls and stash in closets, shoes, gym bags.


Our  “Oracle Card of the Month”

I asked for guidance for all the friends and fans of Rose Healing Center for the month of August and was guided to Doreen Virtue’s Healing with the Angels Oracle Cards. This deck was the first Doreen Virtue deck I owned and still one of my favorites.   The card we received is:

BALANCE

When you think about living a "balanced life," what thoughts and feelings come to you? What areas of your life need more time devoted to them, so that your personal needs are balanced with your other responsibilities?

Gaining balance is an ongoing process, born of each choice we make about how to spend our time. God gives us the strength and discernment so we need to make wise choices.

What is helpful: Pausing to pray and contemplate before saying yes to an activity.

What isn't helpful: Blaming others or feeling guilty, if your life is unbalanced.

Today and each day: Make the commitment to balance your daily schedule, to include time for what's important. This is a part of spiritual growth and self-care.  It can help to set aside even 10 minutes in your morning to meditate and consider what is important.

Here's a helpful prayer:  Dear God, Please clearly and strongly guide my choices and decisions, so that I spend my time and other resources on true priorities. Please give me the strength and self-control to say No to distractions.

July 2017 Rose Healing News

July derives its name from Julius Caesar who was born in July.  This month is filled with the energy of summer and festivals, backyard parties, family, friends and lots of social interaction.  Of course we also celebrate the Declaration of Independence on July 4th.  

It is a beautiful time of the year where the speed of life seems to slow down just a bit. Really consider yourself in this equation of summer. It always goes so fast.  Try to find time for self reflection and self-care as well as rest and relaxation this month.  So often our society mistakes much needed leisure time for laziness but nothing could be further from the truth.  We need rest, relaxation and fun!

Speaking of fun,  this past month I was fortunate to attend the Sage Academy of Sound – Intensive Sound Healing Training at the Menla Retreat Center in the Catskills. This training deepened my existing sound healing practice considerably.  I look forward to sharing this energy with my clients in both individual sessions and in new group gatherings.  I am offering a Sound Healing Bath with Crystal Singing Bowls on Sunday July 30th from 10 AM to 11:30 AM.  Advance sign up required as we are limited in our number of participants. $20 offering.

Our  “Oracle Card of the Month”

I asked for guidance for all the friends and fans of Rose Healing Center for the month of July and was guided to Doreen Virtue’s Archangel Gabriel Deck.  The card we received is:

LISTEN ONLY TO LOVE.  The message:   Focus on Love

There is a place where the news is always good, where there's harmony and peace amongst all people, and unconditional love and compassion toward you. And that place exists right here, right now, during your lifetime. 

It's the place of prayerful communion with your Creator, where - instead of focusing upon the news, worries, drama, or grievances - you close your eyes, breathe, and pray from your heart. It's in that moment, that you've given your free-will permission for Heaven to help you. As you pray, you can feel the burdens being lifted. Your mind receives solutions instead of problems. 

The lower energy loves to distract us with worries and anger . . . anything to pull us from our path. Lower energy also tries to divide and conquer people, by planting suspicions that create the illusion of separation. We can't afford to fall for these tactics!

Don't worry about anything, but pray about everything. God's infinite wisdom has the answer to every situation. 

Here's a helpful prayer: Dear God, please detoxify my mind and heart, and reset me to love, pure love. Guide my actions to be helpful, from a place of love not fear or anger.

June 2017 Rose Healing News

your essential Oil and Oracle Card of the Month

June derives its name for the Roman word “Juno” and it has long been the traditional month for weddings.  So June’s theme is relationship - with one’s self, with others and with nature.  June is the month when most flowers really shine.  So get outdoors and enjoy them!  It is a time of year that is filled with celebrations – graduations, weddings, Father’s Day, etc. 

But in all that celebration we need to remember self care too.   So how can we celebrate ourselves?  Think about allowing more self care during this beautiful time of the year.  Here are some brief ideas on how to incorporate “self-care” in the next month.

Ø     Practice a mindfulness exercise, even if it’s just deep breathing.

Ø     Find a place in nature to enjoy.

Ø     Go to bed early and make sure you get at least a full 8 hours of sleep.

Ø     Write down ten things in your life that inspire gratitude.

Ø     Schedule an appointment for intuitive body work  – like Reflexology, Craniosacral Balancing or Reiki. Hmmm… Maybe at Rose Healing Center. ;-)

June always reminds me of my grandmother’s back yard planters filled with big red geraniums. That memory inspired my choice for our oil of the month.

June Oil of the Month Geranium

Geranium oil has a floral rose-like aroma and is steam distilled from the plants fragrant flowers and leaves and this and has been used for centuries to support beautiful healthy skin. Geranium oil calms and relaxing the body and mind and is used traditionally to support the circulatory and nervous systems, a great deal of its strength lies in its ability to revitalize body tissues. In my practice at Rose Healing Center, I find geranium particularly helpful with the release of negative emotions and memories.  It assists those who are grieving a loss and helps to diminish fears of abandonment.  Blends of Young Living Essential Oils that contain geranium including “Envision” and “White Angelica”.   Geranium Oil Uses:

Diffuse it to give a relaxing floral scent to the air.

Add a few drops to a warm bath

Dab on your wrists and back of neck.

Directly inhale.


Several of you have asked me to bring back the “Oracle Card of the Month” to my newsletter so here we go. I asked for guidance for all the friends and fans of Rose Healing Center for the month of June and was guided to Doreen Virtue’s Archangel Raphael Desk and the card we received is:  “HOME HELP”

Spring is a very busy time of year inside and out.  Many of us can become overwhelmed with all that needs to be done in the garden, in the yard, in the house.  So, do you ask for help? Do you accept it when it is offered to you? 

Doreen Virtue (the creator of the Oracle Cards) says that asking for help, and allowing yourself to be helped, is essential to our health and happiness. Whether it's asking your family to help with yardwork or housework; asking a friend for their sympathetic ear; or delegating an assignment at work, we all need to reach out to others. 

Perhaps you feel guilty asking others for help, yet think of it this way: you are giving them an opportunity to feel needed. Your children develop a good work ethic as they learn to complete chores. And if you hire someone to help you, you're providing a livelihood. 

Perhaps you assume that people will say no to your requests for help. Having this assumption can be self-fulfilling. And in the case of children, they need to learn how to work and how to handle authority. Part of parenting is being a teacher of life skills to our children.    Certainly children learn from watching you – do they see someone who exhausts themselves every day or has a balanced approach to work and rest?  


This June at Rose Healing we are welcoming back Betty Sue Hanson to teach Reiki Level 1.     Please Save the Date – Sunday August 20, 2017 Align With Your Higher Self- A Channeled Guidance Session with Mary Ellen O'Brien. 

Please feel free to leave a comment.  Wishing you all a wonderful June.

April 2017 Rose Healing News

April Showers Bring May Flowers. That seems to be the perfect sentence for the energy surrounding April.  Ups and Downs. Erratic. Cold one day, warm the next.  The best thing to do with with erratic energy is to commit to slow and steady progress in our goals and be patient and understanding.  

April is also a time when we are being guided to speak our truth in relationship with others. "Others" could be spouse, friend, boss, sibling.   If we do not, the Universe will continue to highlight where we have failed to stay out of negative thinking and behaviors.  

The full moon is April 10th. The new moon in April 26th. 

This month's Oil is Frankincense

Frankincense is one of the oldest essential oils and is known as the “holy anointing oil”.  In the Middle East, frankincense has been used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years. It was was one of the gifts given to Christ at his birth. 

Today, frankincense is still used worldwide for both its ceremonial and dietary uses. Frankincense can be used topically or diffused to enhance spirituality and meditation, or for uplifting attitude and mood-enhancement. As a supplement, Frankincense Vitality delivers support for overall wellness and normal cellular health, and has a complex, sweet flavor.

PRIMARY BENEFITS

·  Promotes spiritual awareness and enhances meditation, tonic for the body and mind.

·   Comforting, support mental balance

·         Excellent support for skin health

·         Stimulating and elevating aroma

Wishing you all a very Happy Spring, Happy Easter, Happy Passover.  Thank you for allowing me to accompany you on this adventure called life.

March 2017 News from Rose Healing

March arrives with the energy of action and change and the promise of spring even if the weather is still winter-like at times.  We can see the evidence in the flowers pushing up through the snow.  

Change always brings about the potential for a new experience, a reset, something different and wonderful.  But we have to do our part too. There is the action part.  So think about how you can work with this theme. Choose something in your life that needs to change and work on changing it.  Just pick one thing. Don't try to change everything. Perhaps the age old "Spring Cleaning" is what is needed.  Consider spending some time cleaning the clutter from your home and your head. When we let go of the old, we invite the new to arrive. This is not just on a physical level but on all levels.  

To assist you with this, we have several offerings this month with our advanced practitioners including Reiki Level II training with Betty Sue Hanson, Highest Self Soul Guidance with Mary Ellen O'Brien and Reflexology, Aromatherapy and Vibrational healing offerings. If you are on our direct email list, you will receive notice of this. Self-care is highly recommended at this time and we are here to help. 

So it is with that background that I set intention and asked the Angels to help me be guided to choose the Young Living oil and Doreen Virtue oracle card for the highest good of my friends and clients of Rose Healing. 

OUR CARD FOR MARCH is "Law of Attraction" 

From the Angel Therapy Oracle Card Deck, by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D:

“This card signals that you are experiencing shifts because of your spiritual path. The universal Law of Attraction says that like attracts like. So you are attracted to people and situations that have similar intentions to your own. For example, if your intentions are to be loving and to see the Divine within everyone, you will attract loving people and situations. You will also repel people who have unloving focuses.

This is why you may find your relationships and tastes changing. You may avoid old friends who no longer fascinate you, or perhaps you now dread going to a job or club that you previously enjoyed. Know that these experiences and feelings are a normal part of the spiritual path; you are attracting wonderful, new relationships, situations, and jobs that mirror your spiritual focus. Give any cares, questions, concerns, guilt, and so forth to the angels for healing and transmutation.

Our Young Living Oil for March is Lavender

Lavender can be considered another "master oil" in my mind.  Like Thieves from a few months ago, it can do so very many things. If I could choose only two oils it would be Thieves and Lavender. But I have to admit with all the incredible oils that Young Living offers it is hard to just choose two! So we will be covering many other oils in the months ahead. Lavender oil links to our theme of change and action in that it brings a calming influence so necessary when dealing with these times.  

The following is just a few of the list of approved uses for Lavender

  • Calming
  • Sleep Aid
  • Bee Stings, insect bites
  • Burns & Cuts
  • Eczema/Dermatitis
  • Motion Sickness
  • Nosebleed
  • Dry/Chapped Skin
  • Chapped sunburned lips
  • Scar Tissue
  • Deodorant
  • Dandruff
  • Moths and insects
  • Cold Sores
  • Allergies
  • Sunburn
  • Rashes

Use by diffusing, inhaling, placing directly on skin diluted or direct to tolerance. 

If you are interested in learning more about purchasing pure essential oils, please contact me. 


Wishing you all a Happy St. Patrick's Day. Thank you for allowing me to accompany you on this adventure called life.

February 2017 News from Rose Healing

Hello Friends of Rose Healing.

February is the shortest month of the year but somehow, especially in the Northeast  - it can feel long. During this time we must remember that there are seeds below the ground just waiting to sprout in Spring.  Think about the seeds we are planting for the Spring in our lives. Of course February is also St. Valentine's day and all that is connected with that.  I cannot believe a year has passed since I wrote my first ever blog piece for our book 365 Days of Angel Prayers which happened to be about Valentine's day. For those who may wish to read it, it is available here:  

The intention I set before choosing the oil and oracle card for all of us was what concepts, ideas, dreams do we wish to manifest in 2017? As we are doing each month, I have asked the Angels to please bring me a clear and concise message for my clients and friends using both the Oracle Cards and the Young Living Oils. I asked for a card for the highest intention of all and was guided to choose from the Magical Mermaid and Dolphin deck of Doreen Virtue. 

OUR CARD FOR FEBRUARY IS "Watch Your Thoughts" 

This cards certainly seems timely to me.  We all need to be reminded that thoughts manifest into form.  Realizing that the past few weeks and months have been incredibly difficult on so many levels.  Become aware of when fear is really invading your life.  Question your thoughts "is that really true?"    Catch yourself when you slip into negativity and say "cancel that".   Switch your thoughts to the positive because thoughts become things.  During this month when many may feel they have no control over certain situations, be reminded that you always have control over your thoughts - if you have awareness around it.  And remember our card from January - Meditate.  Always a good choice when we are feeling overwhelmed. 

Our Young Living Oil for February is Rosemary 

Ha! I laughed when I saw the oil that came through for February. First of all it is my name. But more importantly when you read on you will see why it is so incredibly timely and connected to our oracle card and the general energy of the month. 

Rosemary is the oil of transition and knowledge - two things we are certainly grappling with right now as a Nation, and as individuals. Rosemary oil helps with difficulty adjusting or transitioning. It supports one feeling confident through times of great change and helps us gain understanding and perspective.  Well, that certainly resonates for me and I hope it does for you too. 

The following is just a few of the list of approved uses (by the FDA) for Rosemary Essential Oil. 

  • Supports healthy respiratory function
  • Supports healthy digestion
  • Reduces nervous tension
  • Memory booster - excellent while studying.

Use by diffusing, inhaling or adding to bath. 

If you are interested in learning more about purchasing pure essential oils, please contact us. 


Thank you for allowing me to accompany you on this adventure called life.
