Things You Should Know Before Using Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the process of using various essential oils that are derived from flowers, herbs, and trees. It is believed they offer individuals a very save and economical way to be healthier and rejuvenated. Aromatherapy is recommended because it helps people feel better both physically and mentally without taking any kind of medication.

Many people view aromatherapy as alternative medicine. This is because there is no medical or scientific backing for it. However, many people who have taken prescription medications for ailments, aches and pains, or even mental health issues suffer from the various side effects. Yet they find they can feel better with aromatherapy and not have those harsh side effects to contend with.

There are three major types of aromatherapy that you can use to feel better physically and improve your mood. The market is full of home aromatherapy products you can use. They come in the form of oils you burn or place into the bath. They also come in the form of candles.

Clinical aromatherapy takes place in an office setting or even in the form of a massage with various essential oils. The last type of aromatherapy is called aromachology, which is who various odors affect the brain. You also need to know the potency of a given essential oil before you use it. Some of them have been diluted and others are in their original form. This is going to play a very important role in how much of the essential oil you need to use at any given time. Generally you will use much less of a full strength essential oil than you will of on that has been diluted.

The use of aromatherapy continues to be on debate. You will find individuals who firmly belief it has helped them become more balanced and well. Others will tell you aromatherapy is nothing but a marketing ploy to sell various products that smell great. There is no evidence that using aromatherapy can be harmful to you, so you have nothing to lose by trying it and seeing what it can offer you personally.

With so many different essential oils to select from, it is very likely you will find several that you enjoy the smell of and how they make you feel. For the best results take an inventory of the physical and mental aspects you would like to improve. Then look for the essential oils that are known to help with those areas.

Three Simple Questions To Know What’s Going On Inside Your Own Head

You read, see, and hear these types of headlines all the time:

• “Get Ripped Abs Fast!”
• “Increase Your Bench In 3 Weeks!”
• “Lose 50 Pounds With XYZ Supplement!”
• “Be Chiseled For Summer!”
• “Get Buff By Buying This Program!”
• “Drop Those Last 10 Pounds!”
• “Gain Those 10 Pounds And Get The Woman Of Your Dreams!”
• Etc.

They are not only in the bodybuilding and physique advertisements, but they appear on television, radio, the internet, billboards, and magazines of all types. In addition, you may hear comments from your friends & family saying, “If only I could lose those last stubborn 10 pounds,” or, “I hate being so skinny!” Most people are probably exposed to comments of this type at least once per day if they live or interact in an urban or suburban environment.

I have had the opportunity to study many of the “mind disciplines” such as NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), hypnosis, sports psychology, the basics of quantum physics (ok… the VERY basics!), and a few other areas of similar study. The thing is that most of them have commonalities, or “overlap” in them. Personally, I find this to be terrific!! If the latest studies of the human mind – with the most intricate machines & research studies – happen to share commonalities with examples we see in everyday life then we can begin to take heart knowing that there might be something to those commonalities. It would be as if you & your friends all had a different type of compass, yet each one pointed to “North” in the same direction; you then can make an agreement for what all of you consider to be “North.”

One “commonality” among all of these disciplines is that there is usually a much deeper motivation that is going on in your head when you set goals or make other declarations about your identity, particularly about your own body. The types of headlines listed earlier may sell you features, benefits, or both; however they usually fail to trigger what is REALLY going on inside your head! Here is an example:

If you say, “I want to drop those last 10 pounds before the upcoming X (wedding, high school reunion, company pool party, etc.)” you now can ask yourself a few questions to find out your TRUE motivation:

1) When I think about XYZ (dropping those last 10 pounds, increasing my bench press by 20 pounds, etc.), what is important to me?

2) How is the answer from # 1 important to me?

3) What will the answer for # 2 do for me?

Here is an example:

1) When I think about dropping those last 10 pounds before the upcoming company pool party, what is important to me?

Example answer: “I want to look good.”

2) How is looking good (answer from # 1) important to me?

Example answer: “So I won’t look gross to people.”

[** SIDE NOTE** A lot of people are motivated by what they "won't be" or "don't want to have." This is a different type of motivation than what you DO want or what you WANT to achieve. This is discussed in the Metroflex Gym e-book and will be a topic for a future newsletter]

3) What will not looking gross to people (answer from # 2) do for me?

Example answer: “I finally get to feel attractive around people I know.”

So the “core emotion”, in this example, is for you to feel attractive around people you know. Once you have that core emotion (also known as a “deep-seated need”) identified, ask yourself the best ways you can meet this need. It could be:

• I am going to update my wardrobe
• I am going to get my teeth fixed
• I will get a good book on exercise from a reputable source
• I will be around more uplifting & positive people
• I will go on that interview to get a new job, earn more money, and start to feel “alive again”
• Etc.

No matter what your specific situation is, make sure that you ask yourself those three questions and quickly get to the heart of what is really going on in your own head. It will save you TONS of time, money, and energy! Many people will find that their “sticking points” or “plateaus” come from never addressing what is REALLY going on inside their own heads…. and all they need to do is ask three simple questions!
