Cleansing is an excellent way to get a jump-start on a healthy diet. Experts suggest that participating in a mild nutrient and fiber-rich cleanse four times a year allows your digestive system to take a break from the high-calorie, low-nutrient diet typical of many people. As little as five days spent on a gentle cleansing program likeYoung Living’s 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse™ can eliminate junk food cravings while cleaning out any residual waste.

5-Day Nutritive Cleanse

Young Living’s 5-Day Nutritive Cleanse comes with everything you need to gently and effectively rid your body of built-up toxins. This mild program utilizes three key products: Digest + Cleanse™, Balance Complete™, and NingXia Red®.

  • Balance Complete™: Great-tasting, high-fiber meal replacement.

  • NingXia Red®: Nutrient-infused wolfberry drink designed to energize, fortify, and replenish your body.

Healthy Weight Management with Essential Oil Supplements

Proper nutrition is a vital component of healthy weight management. Many individuals find it difficult to maintain an ideal weight and often turn to fad diets to shed unwanted pounds. The problem with most diets is that they are difficult to follow and, once finished, people often revert back to bad habits.

The only way to effectively maintain a healthy weight is by continually evaluating dietary choices and incorporating weight-management guidelines into our daily routine.

Using a nutrient-dense, essential oil-infused meal replacement, like Young Living’s Balance Complete™,Power Meal™, or Pure Protein Complete™ is an excellent way to manage weight without leaving the body deprived of essential vitamins and minerals.

The Value of Meal Replacements

Meal replacements are nutrient-dense formulations that, when substituted for one or more of an individual’s daily meals, can support weight management. An easy solution for cutting calories without compromising vitamin and mineral intake, meal replacements are an easy way to incorporate healthy choices into daily routines.

"Massage and movement stimulates circulation. Life is in the blood. The body repairs itself when it is functioning optimally. Increased circulation enhances youthfulness and vitality. Everyone needs massage and movement on a regular consistent basis to be optimally healthy. " author unknown

I wanted to share this quote with you because there is so much truth in it. There are as many types of massage as there are massage therapists.Individual and unique yet with common threads running throughout the modality called therapeutic massage.  It simply is one of the best ways to support your precious body in true wellness.

Let’s look at some information about the benefits of massage and movement….
Physical and mental oxygenation through movement and massage can increase  your energy and focus, can raise your metabolic rate, can improve your blood circulation and can activate your lymphatic system’s detoxification.

The mind moves into alertness and mental focus. Your natural chi or life force energy, can be stimulated and enhanced. It can help eliminate stress.

The brain can also move into an Alpha state which thereby creates a peaceful, meditative state of calmness, mind/body healing and wellness. Often after massage or meditative movement we can find ourselves in an altered state.

Movement of your body  can  create cellular oxygenation allowing:
  •  Reduction in muscle soreness, tension, stiffness, body aches and pains.
  • Improved flexibility of muscles and joints, more limber – spinal alignment.
  •  Improved function and regulation of internal organs and body systems.
  •  Improved circulation of the blood – activated lymph drainage and detoxification.
  •  Alleviation of stress related conditions – headaches, anxiety, depression.
  •  The brain shifts into a relaxed Alpha brainwave state – mental focus.
  • Steady weight loss correction if under or over weight, or menopausal (plus diet adjustment).
  • Sound, restful sleep – increased energy, a wonderful sense of well-being.

These are just a few of the benefits one can receive from consistent movement and massage.

If you have never received a massage or do not have gentle movement built into your daily life, please consider exploring this wonderful modality.

Tip—Diaper Pail

“I usually put a drop of Purification® essential oil blend on a cotton square and place it at the bottom of each trash can in the house and at the bottom of my daughter’s diaper pail. It cuts back on odors and kills germs.”

—Maryellen Slott

Tip—Fresh Bedding

“Every time I change the linens on my bed, I spray Thieves® Spray generously and evenly on the mattress and the pillows. I feel that this leaves the bedding fresh smelling and free of those tiny things we can’t see. Sometimes I will also give the sheets and pillows a quick spray when making the bed. This keeps my sleeping area fresh between changing. I just love the smell of Thieves Spray!”

—Pam 

Tip—Stuck Gum

“I found a chunk of gum stuck to our hall shag carpet. It had been there for several months, dried but thoroughly stuck to the fibers. I dabbed Thieves® Household Cleaner on a cotton ball, then rubbed it on the gum and let it sit for a minute. The gum literally just lifted off the carpet. You can rub your fingers across the treated spot. There is no way to tell there ever was any gum there!”

—Kristen Grunewald

Tip—Bath Drain

“Our bath drainage unit would not stay in the open drain position and couldn’t be replaced. We used a number or chemical and mechanical options with no result. Finally I dropped a few drops of lemon essential oil on the problem area, waited a few moments, and came back. Result: The bath now drains freely once again!”

 

 

—Suz 

Sweet Gift

"I’ve had the great pleasure of using essential oils in yoga classes, both as teacher and student. They make me feel like I’m receiving a sweet, intriguing gift. The aroma helps to center my mind and transports me into a sacred space, while the specific properties of the oils help to relax, inspire or energize me. I notice how the room becomes more unified, more uplifted, more present, after I share the oils.” 

 

 

 

 

Ingrid A. Marcroft

Life Force

"Using Young Living essential oils in class is almost always a transformative experience in that they have a fantastic capacity to shift the space. There is a palpable change in the energy of the room, a softening or sometimes an expansion of everyone’s life force—depending on the oil used. I’m partial to Valor® or Peace & Calming® at the end of the class or Valor, peppermint or frankincense at the beginning. The Thieves® spray is perfect for sanitizing and cleaning the air between classes." 

 

Stephan W. Kolbert

Tip—Double Duty

“Spray lemongrass essential oil on your children’s bed linens to keep those spiders that have hidden indoors for the winter away from their sheets. Children like the fragrance, and it gives them an aromatherapy treatment.”

—Penelope Marth

Tip—Peaceful Sleep

“After my daughter’s evening bath, I take a good-sized squirt of KidScents® Lotion with a couple drops of Peace & Calming® and rub it all over her body. She smells so good and sleeps peacefully through the night.”

I have enjoyed generative health each time I use my YL essential oils. It is like having the wholeness and goodness from the entire plant in each drop. My body loves these oils. This is an article about one of the best YL kits they offer. I have come to appreciate these kits for their financial value as well as the wisdom of oils selected. A Really wonderful way to start using the oils. Tessa Brauer YL#48482 

 

 

 

 

The following are the oils in the

 

 

 

 

 

Golden Touch 1 Kit”.

 

 

 

 

Di-Gize massage or place a compress on the stomach.  Apply to bottom of feet.  Take a capsule full once or twice per day –a must if traveling, especially abroad (has great parasitic action).  Great for stomach ailments, digestion issues, constipation, heartburn, IBS, diarrhea, and food poisoning.  All the oils in Di-Gize are also anti-septic and can be used on cuts and other minor injuries.  Debra

 

 

 

 

These oils in this blend are to assist in relieving digestive problems.  Massage a drop or two on the outer ear may help alleviate morning sickness.  It may also be great to dispel parasites in animals.  Apply to their feet or one drop on their back or massage on tummy placing a compress on the tummy may chase the parasites away that animals may have.  My cats and dogs get this regular.  You can tell when they have parasites because their coat get dull looking and the hair curls on the end and  in two days you will see the hair starting to look shiny and the curling going away.  I even use it on my horses for parasites and colic.  So I am never without this blend as it is a household item of every day use.  Nancy Sanderson

Thieves – Diffuse for 15-30 minutes every 3-4 hours when someone in the house is sick.  Apply to the bottom of the feet twice per day.  Apply diluted to throat, stomach, abdomen, chest, and over thymus gland.  Put 4-8 drops on a cotton ball and place over A/C vent and vehicle vents. Adding a drop or two on a Thieves soft lozenge may stop the pains of food poisoning in a hurry. AND NEVER leave home without Thieves. It can save you much misery if you or a family member starts to feel sick while on vacation. Pulls splinters also. Debra

 

 

 

 

This blend of therapeutic-grade essential oils was tested at Weber State University for its potent anti-microbial properties.  It was found to have 99.96% kill rate against airborne bacteria.  The oils are highly anti-viral, anti-septic, anti-bacterial, anti-infectious and helps to protect the body against such illnesses as flu, colds, sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, sore throats, cuts, and infections.  I have applied Thieves around an infected wound and the infection cleared up in a day.  My husband had an abscessed tooth which caused the infection to go into the bone.   In order to be able to get the Thieves into the bone,  we applied Thieves on the gum and then wintergreen on top of the Thieves to drive the Thieves into the bone to clear up the infection, which it did.  I have taken two capsules of Thieves 3 times a day to get rid of a bad bronchial infection that I felt coming on and that did the job over night.  Nancy Sanderson

 

 

 

 

R.C. – Diffuse, humidify or direct inhale.  Apply to chest, throat, under ears or over sinus area.  May use as a hot compress on chest. Also great for bunions and bone spurs. Great for allergies, –apply to base of neck each morning and evening. Smell for asthma. Debra

 

 

 

 

I have taken 3-4 drops of R.C. in 1/2 cup of hot water, hot enough so it doesn’t burn the finger and place the cup close to the nose and mouth and cover head with a towel and inhale the moisture and aroma and it will pull a person out of an asthma attack  9-0.  Also when applying R.C. to the chest and the ball of the foot which is the reflex points for the lungs and you want to increase that oxygen, apply marjoram on top of the R.C..  This drive the R.C.  into the smooth muscle of the lungs.   By doing this it helped a gentlemen re-inflate his collapsed lung.  Another gentleman had to wear oxygen to keep his oxygen level up at 94, but with out oxygen, it  would drop down to 77.   94 is the normal oxygen level a person should be at.    When I applied R.C. to his chest it brought his oxygen level up to 94 in matter of minutes and stayed there, before that it was down to 77 because he was not wear his oxygen .    I like to see things first hand and this was an experiment that I did when I taught a classes and a nurse had her portable oxygen monitor with her.   Everyone wanted to know what their oxygen level was and I was curious if it would  raise the oxygen level of those that had normal oxygen level and it did.  It  raised those that were at 94 to 96 and those at 96 to 98.   Also I have used R.C. along with Idaho Balsam Fir to dissolve a huge bone spur on my heel.  Why Idaho Balsam Fir??   Because it has a natural cortisone-like action which doctors give to their patients before they will do surgery on the spur.   That was the only way I could get it to dissolve.  R.C. alone was not enough for me but a lot of people have had great success with just R.C. on bone spurs  I have to be different.   R.C. may help give relief from colds, bronchitis, sore throats, sinusitis and respiratory congestion.   Nancy Sanderson

Raven Diffuse or humidify.  Add 2-4 drops to bathwater.  Apply to throat and lung areas and to the bottom of the feet.  Use with a hot compress over lung area.  Contains Ravensara – a powerful anti-viral oil, known as the oil that heals to the people of Madagascar.  Summer mosquitoes can carry the West Nile virus, plus who knows what else. Wear daily on the bottom of the feet. Great for allergies – apply to base of neck each morning and evening.  Debra

 

 

 

 

Be very careful if you use a hot compress with Raven as it has blistered people with delicate skin because it contains hot oils.  My mom did a hot compress of Raven on the back, close to the neck and she had huge blisters from it.  That’s why I caution you if you are thinking about using it with a hot compress.    A great way to use Raven is apply Raven on the back and R.C. on the chest using a hot compress with R.C. only, and then the next time apply Raven on the chest and R.C. on the back with a hot compress only.  Raven and R.C. are great companions together.  The combination of Raven gives strength in fighting respiratory problems such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, bronchitis, asthma and infectious mononucleosis and rhinopharyngitis.    Nancy Sanderson

 

 

 

 

Melrose – Diffuse or place a tissue with a few drops of Melrose directly in front of humidifier –but do not put drops of this oil in the humidifier water.  You may also put a few drops in a bowl of hot water and cover your head with a towel, making a tent over the bowl so you inhale the steam. Also great for urinary incontinence – apply over bladder.  Apply under ear and down throat for earaches and phlegm in throat.  Also good for skin rashes. (Dr. T. Friedman helped a woman get rid of a three year long staphylococcus rash with Melrose and lavender). Apply under ears for airplane ear popping and aches.  Debra

 

 

 

 

This blend has anti-septic-like properties when used topically for cleansing cuts, scrapes, burns, rashes, and bruised tissue.  It may help also prevent growth of bacteria, fungus, or infection.  Melrose is very strong in the regeneration of damaged tissue and helps fight infections and fungus.  It is very beneficial for animals such as horses, dogs and cats in the same way it benefits humans.  I have used Melrose for ear and eye infections on cats and dogs.  Just make sure that you don’t get it in the eye so apply to finger and rub your fingers together and then rub around the eye.  That way your finger is not to wet with oil and have the chance of it leaching back into the eye.  By doing this the infection had cleared up over night.  I have used it on infected wounds on my horses too.  Now with the Animal Scents Ointment it is a great combination for your animals.  Plus I have used Melrose for ear infection on my grandchildren and infected cuts, and vaginal yeast infection for myself.  I use 8 drops Melrose, 8 drops lavender, and 8 drops of frankincense to make the application stronger in two cups of water and douche.    Another problem that I had was an eye infection that I got from my grandkids.  I used the juice from an AloeVera plant squeezing it into my eye and lavender around the eye.   It would clear up and then a month later come back again.  It felt like I had an eyelash or a large piece of dirt in my eye causing it to hurt like the dickens and be very red at times.  This pladged me off and on for eight months.   It wasn’t until that I was in Ecuador that it had came back again and I didn’t have time to be bothered with it.  So I took 1 drop of lavender in 1 tsp of olive oil and mixed.  Then with one drop from that I put it into my eye.  It stung a bit, but wasn’t that bad.  My eye felt better but was not clearing up then I remembered that I used Melrose on my kittens eyes and the infection went away.  So I applied Melrose around the eye.  That worked thank goodness.   But it came back again in a month.  So I was getting very tired of this and I decided to add 1 drop of Melrose with 1 drop of lavender in a tsp of olive oil and then added one drop of that mixture in my eye.  Well that did the trick.   The infection has not returned since Nov 2005.  When something  is like that, you have to get aggressive to get rid of it and that’s what I did.   Nancy Sanderson

 

 

 

 

JuvaFlex – Rub several drops over liver area or on the bottom of the feet. May also be used as a hot compress over the liver.  **The liver is your toxin filter, keeping it clean, great for summer time hazards like over indulging in the wrong foods. Debra

 

 

 

 

These oils in this blend have been known to support the liver and lymphatic system in detoxification as well.  Anger and hate are stored in the liver, creating toxicity and leading to sickness and disease.  JuvaFlex may help break addictions to substances such as coffee, alcohol, drugs, and tobacco.  Nancy Sanderson

 

 

 

 

EndoFlex – Diffuse or directly inhale.   Add 2 drops to a bath to relax.  May also apply to thyroid, adrenals, kidneys, liver or bottom of feet. Also, may help with hot flashes, three drops under tongue daily. May help to increase metabolism. Good over adrenal glands for high paced vacations and fun to not feel worn out. Debra

 

 

 

 

This blend may help overall vitality.  It contains oils associated with hormonal balance, improving and balancing metabolism, and weight control.  I have used it by applying it over the kidneys and bladder for infection and have had great relief for that problem.  To get a great effect from EndoFlex for possible weight control apply to the gums and over the thyroid.  Nancy Sanderson.

 

 

 

 

Note:  To make a hot compress, –take a wash cloth and run under hot water, wring out excess water, apply oil to chest, cover with warm, wet wash cloth and then cover with folded bath towel to keep in heat.  Debra

 

 

 

 

Also, if you wish you can use a bowl filled with hot water and add 5-8 drops of oil to it, then lay the cloth over the water and oils and let soak up into the cloth, wring out and apply to location of where you want the hot compress.  Make sure the water is hot enough, but not to hot that it burns your fingers.  Then follow what Debra stated.  Too hot will fracture the molecules of the oils.  Nancy Sanderson

Tip—Relief

“After spending three days with my husband in the hospital, my feet were really hurting. I had bunion surgery three months ago on my right foot and three weeks ago on my left foot. Having to be on them more that I should have, they were swollen and painful. I thought of Peace & Calming® oil blend. After massaging it into the bottom of each foot, I could not believe the relief I felt.”

—Mildred Rickett

Tip—Snoring

“I am new in the oil business, so I’m experimenting. My husband snores so much that it keeps me awake. So one night we put some peppermint essential oil on his pillow, and low and behold, his snoring just about stopped. Thank you!”

—Joyce

Tip—Relax

“At night when I’m ready to go to bed and my mind will not relax, I put Peace & Calming™ essential oil blend on the bottom of my big toes. My mind relaxes and I go right to sleep. This oil is wonderful!”

—Chloe

Tip—NingXia Red®

“My whole family uses NingXia Red®. If I know that I am going to have a particularly long day, I take an extra couple ounces at three or four o’clock in the afternoon and it gets me through with no problem. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it works.”

 

—Jihan

Tip—Cold Sores

“I love the Rose Ointment™. I use it on my lips at night before I go to bed. I have noticed that if I start to get a cold sore it keeps it from developing. It is a wonderful product.”

—Glenda Deems

Tip—Shaving

“Whenever I get my underarms waxed I always apply lavender essential oil to soothe the skin. It works better than anything the salon has used.” 

—B. J.

Tip—First Aid

“While I am sure it works well on animals, Animal Scents™ Ointment is also a perfect ointment for humans. Unfortunately I fell off a sidewalk a few weeks ago and had a large abrasion on my knee. I applied the Animal Scents Ointment to my knee and continued to do so until it healed and there is very little scarring. This is good stuff!”

—Juli Patten

Tip—Fresh Carpet

“I used an old plastic sippy cup with a small hole in the lid to make a carpet freshener. I mix baking soda and a few drops of an essential oil, usually lavender because it’s my favorite, then I sprinkle it around the carpet and let it sit for a minute or two and then vacuum it right up. My carpet is fresh, the room smells great, and the best part about it is that I’m not exposing my two young kids to any harsh chemicals.”

Tip—Natural Shower

“I dislike the chemicals in the shower sprays available in most stores. But it’s Thieves® Household Cleaner to the rescue! I now dilute Thieves cleaner (according to the glass cleaner recommendation) in a spray bottle and confidently saturate my wet shower with the solution without holding my breath and racing out of the bathroom after spraying. It really works!”

—Sally

Why Essential Oils are Essential

 

Young Living Essential Oils are 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade

 

*Immune stimulating *Supportive of the body’s natural defenses *Supportive of the immune, circulatory, respiratory, endocrine, digestive, nervous, and other body systems *Aiding in maintaining normal cellular regeneration *Mood elevating *Antiseptic (topical use only) *High in antioxidants *Aromatic *Oxygenating *Boosting to stamina and energy *Helpful in relaxation *Helpful in managing stress and frustration *Helpful in reducing the appearance of aging *Helpful in the improvement of mental clarity *Helpful in promoting overall health, vitality, and longevity.

 

What Are Essential Oils

Essential oils are the subtle, aromatic and volatile liquids extracted from the flowers, seeds, leaves, stems, bark and roots of herbs, bushes, shrubs and trees through distillation. According to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese manuscripts, priests and physicians were using essential oils thousands of years before Christ to heal the sick. They are the oldest form of medicine and cosmetic known to man and were considered more valuable than gold. There are hundreds of references to oils in the Bible. The wise men brought the Christ Child gold, frankincense and myrrh. (Clinical research now shows that frankincense oil contains very high immune stimulating properties.) Some of the precious oils which have been used since antiquity for anointing and healing the sick are: frankincense, myrrh, galbanum, hyssop, cassia, cinnamon and spikenard. Science is only now beginning to investigate the incredible healing substances found in essential oils.

The Frequency of Essential Oils

The effectiveness of essential oils cannot be fully understood without some discussion of frequency. Frequency is the measurable rate of electrical energy flow that is constant between any two points. Everything has frequency. Pure Essential Oils have very high frequency. Dr. Robert O. Becker in his book, The Body Electric, establishes that the human body has an electrical frequency and that much about a person’s health can be determined by ones frequency. In 1992, Bruce Tainio of Tainio Technology, an independent division of Eastern State University in Cheny Washington, built the first frequency monitor in the world. Tainio has determined that the average frequency of the human body during the day time is 62-68 Hz. (A healthy body frequency is 62-72 Hz.) When the frequency drops the immune system is compromised. If the frequency drops to 58 Hz. cold and flu symptoms appear, at 55 Hz. diseases like Candida take hold, at 52 Hz. Epstein Bar, and at 42 Hz. Cancer. According to Dr. Royal Rife every disease has a frequency. He found that certain frequencies can prevent the development of disease and that others would destroy disease. Substances with higher frequency will destroy diseases of lower frequency. The study of frequencies raises an important question concerning the frequencies of substances we eat, breath, and absorb. Many pollutants lower healthy frequency. Processed/canned food has a frequency of zero. Fresh produce has up to 15 Hz., dry herbs from 12 to 22 Hz. and fresh herbs from 20 to 27 Hz. Essential oils start at 52 Hz. and go as high as 320 Hz., the frequency of Pure Rose Oil. Clinical research shows that essential oils have the highest frequency of any natural substance known to man creating an environment in which disease, bacteria, virus, fungus etc. cannot live.

Essential Oils Are Aromatic

Essential oils are highly aromatic and therefore many of the benefits can be obtained by simply inhaling them. This can be done by breathing in the fragrance from the bottle or can be diffused into the room. Essential oils when diffused can be the best air filtration system in the world. They will: (1) Purify by removing metallic particles and toxins from the air. (2) Increase atmospheric oxygen. (3) Destroy orders from mold, cigarettes and animals. (4) Fill the air with a fresh herbal aromatic scent. (5) Increase ozone and negative ions in the house which inhibits bacteria growth.

Essential Oils Penetrate

The penetrating characteristic of essential oils greatly enhances their ability to be effective. 100% Pure, Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils will penetrate into the body when applied to the skin. Essential oil placed on the feet will be distributed to every cell in the body in 21 minutes. They will even penetrate a finger or toe nail to treat fungus underneath.

“We Share Because We Care”

 

A Swiss native whose study of biochemistry started her lifelong pursuit of increased health and understanding, Anna-Maya Powell is licensed in hydrotherapy and in the Heartmath System and is trained in aromatherapy, reflexology, and bio-kinesiology. This lifelong wellness enthusiast came to Young Living in 1989 as an Independent Distributor and as one of the company’s corporate trainers in 1998, when she traveled the US and Canada providing thousands of people with the benefits of Young Living Essential Oils. And though Anna-Maya has always been guided by her entrepreneurial spirit, it has only been recently that she has started focusing on the business aspects of Young Living. Now, the company’s newest Platinum, Anna-Maya has her sights set on reaching Crown Diamond—and is well on her way to accomplishing her goal and continuing to help countless others along the way.  

Dream Becomes Reality

Before being introduced to Young Living in 1989 by Eldon Knittle, Anna-Maya had a dream where a man handed her a key. That evening she accompanied Eldon to a presentation by Young Living Founder and President, Gary Young. Anna-Maya says, “When Gary started to talk about how to formulate like nature does and talked about the life force and power of essential oils I knew I had found the key I had been given in my dream. I walked out of there with the knowledge I had been seeking.” And about her decision to join Young Living Anna-Maya adds, “It was Gary’s example and amazing drive that attracted me.”  

Growing Business  

Initially, Anna-Maya’s focus was on her personal health, not building her own business. But once she started using Young Living essential oils she says, “I felt different and looked different. I was 36 and my skin cleared and I became vibrant and my business just started.” Anna-Maya says that people wanted to know what she was using and when she told them about Young Living they wanted to join too—and for many years she continued to build her business with the people she attracted. It wasn’t until three or four years ago that Anna-Maya says she decided to build her business smarter and has been amazed at how her business has grown.  

Building Smarter 

Anna-Maya says that she when she changed her method of teaching to a model of listening and asking questions to understand people’s needs, she saw incredible results. “Instead of people being intimidated by thinking they had to know everything,” she says, “People now say ‘I can do that.’ It’s a big difference.” 


From the start, Anna-Maya explains that Young Living is the world leader in essential oils and asks people if they think that the highest quality natural substances could make a difference in their lives. Then, Anna-Maya says, she listens, stays focused on answering questions with short answers addressing people’s needs, and finishes with a question. This way, she explains, you prove to people that they are the most important thing and create a feeling that you are a friend who has their well-being in mind. 

Helping Others Grow 

As a general rule Anna-Maya asks new distributors to write down an emotionally charged dream or need. She has people create their own personal strategy and create tasks that can be completed within one or two weeks. She also advised them to gain and write down personal experiences that others can relate to. “If you tell a story about overcoming a big sickness, it may sound unbelievable and if the person doesn’t have that sickness, the person might say they don’t need Young Living,” she says, “But low energy, wrinkles, emotional overcoming—these are the kind of things everyone can identify with.”


Anna-Maya is also quick to acknowledge that signing up new distributors is only the first step. She says that following up properly with monthly product information through a newsletter or other communication method is imperative. Anna-Maya’s organization has an online newsletter and she also sends part of her organization a physical mailer as well. “The volume goes up noticeably a few days after sending newsletters,” she adds. 

Anna-Maya Today 

Anna-Maya starts each new day by getting inspired through listening to a positive tape, writing, reading, and using a favorite essential oil. Then, if she’s not traveling, she spends 30 to 40 hours a week supporting her existing teams and working on new prospects. “Since most all of my working members are out of town, I am on the phone coaching or calling to tell them that we appreciate them or I am on the computer,” she says. 


Grateful for Nancy and Eldon Knittle—her supportive upline—and her “most amazing” downline, Anna-Maya knows that Young Living is here to stay. “Young Living is so unique,” she says, “You can live your passion no matter what.” 


Anna-Maya is especially appreciative of the hard work of Gary and Mary Young and also gives special thanks to her first husband, Jorn Eisvanj, who never let her give up, and her current husband, Jim Powell, who is a keen business partner.

What’s in Store for You in 2012 – Part 2 – Purpose and Abundance

 

What is in store for you in the year ahead? The same old thing – sick, tired, broke, busted? Or have you planned and purposed to make some changes, make a difference in your life and others, and soar like an eagle. Are you smiling, serving, and sharing?

 

The current economy may or may not have affected you in a negative way. You may not have any income loss or then again you may still be in recovery mode form a lost job. Economist tells us that about every ten years we have some kind of recession in America. So even if this go-round, your life remained pretty good, will you fair so well in 2020?  You can take action now to place yourself in a better position should any type of economic downturn, governmental changes, or personal issues put pressure on your family.

 

I was at a crossroads in my life nine years ago. After the sudden and unexpected death of my husband (aortic aneurysm from his Vietnam service exposure to Agent Orange) my daughter and I were left without sufficient income and a huge debt burden. I knew change was going to come in our lives in many ways.  Having been a user of the Young Living products for two years and with a handful of people using them under me, I dismissed the possibilities that Young Living could provide – outside of health issues — and went to work with three part time jobs, all while homeschooling my daughter.

 

After three years of 14 hour work days six days per week I was exhausted, the bills were getting paid, but the light at the end of the tunnel was still far off. Then I made a phone call to one of my upline Richard Dastrup (Sha-faun Enterprises). Rich had spoken with both me and my husband before about the business side of YL but now, what I really, really needed to know was – will this really work well enough to support us. Now I have read Rich and Shauna’s testimony with YL many times and I knew what a difference it had made in their lives – but you know how that goes – Oh that worked for them but not for me.  Well why not me?

 

I had nothing to lose by sharing the fabulous products and how they had enriched our lives, so why not give it a shot. My consultation business was rewarding, but required a lot of my time. I was trading time for dollars and the overhead, inventory, etc is quite costly, and the demands left me with little time to spend with family.

 

So armed with the decision to work the business, and not just let it grow on its own (which was like watching paint dry – not all that exciting and hadn’t worked so far),  I made the decision to put forth a concentrated amount of energy and set aside a specific amount of time each week JUST for my YL business. In less than two months of holding meetings in people’s homes, the returns were apparent and now after six short years (Oct 14, 2005 was my first YL oils meeting) I have reached the level of Diamond and my consulting business is now the part time project.  I’m not finished yet, I still have one more levels to go and getting there means I get to bring people with me. In Young Living you don’t do things alone, you’re a team; and my team is amazing.

 

I am also able to impact more people through YL than I could ever dream of with personal consultations. The doors my association with YL has opened to me are enormous, (two books Gentle Babies and Nutrition 101: Choose Life! would never have happened), the perks are amazing, (Free exotic vacations and getaways), the friendships cultivated over the years is priceless, my income is more than enough and yes we are debt free. Not a day goes by without my heartfelt gratitude for all those in my YL family and to my Lord Jesus for His abundant favor on my life.

 

Follow your heart, your passion, your instinct. Sometimes it will mean stepping out in faith. (It did for me and I will say I used a lot of prayer, Abundance and Valor in those days – still do). With the integrity of the company, the products, our leaders and the needs of the people around us for wellness, purpose and abundance, you will be as successful in Young Living as you desire. Don’t quit, it has taken me twelve years to get to this level –stay focused, keep learning and keep sharing. It has taken me nearly ten years to get to this level – if only I had listened earlier. Don’t wait – today can be the day you begin your Young Living journey!

 

You may be able to use your current business to spread the word about YL all around the globe.  The foundation you set now will allow you to build a skyscraper of a business, which in Young Living we call Diamond and Crown Diamond. Then when you choose to retire (50, 60, 70) your residual income will greatly outpace your 401K and the thousands of people you will have touched will be a reward without measure.

 

I love the blessings my YL business has given to me and I feel like I am just getting started! My goal for 2012? To support those in my group with the vision to change their lives and the lives of others through the Young Living products so they may each become Silver, Gold, Platinum and beyond. What is your goal? December is a great month to look over the year – what was great about it, what was successful and what needs improving. Write down your goals and the plan to make them reality.

 

Just maybe 2012 will be your time to shine, I know it’s mine!

 

Debra’s Eight Rules for Success

1. Use the products daily. When you see for yourself the amazing benefits of using the products on a daily basis, your physical and emotional health will improve. Others will ask you what you are doing and that will give you an opportunity to share the message of Young Living.

2. Sign up for Essential Rewards. Essential Rewards makes it easy to have a fresh supply of your family’s favorite products and the ability to try new things monthly. Plus, you’re earning points for free products.

3. Learn. Learn as much as you can about Young Living’s products and the business by reading the many support books, brochures and third party literature, attending classes, Young Living corporate events (especially convention), listening to the audio recordings, and going to meetings. We have so many opportunities to learn!

4. Share and build seriously. Take your business seriously. Set hours that you will work the business. Be ready to share your experiences when the opportunity arises. Have a sharing package that includes samples of Young Living products. If I could carve out the time, so can you.

5. Get your members involved in what you do. Have fellow distributors share a testimony at a workshop. When I am asked to speak at conventions and expos, I always take budding Silvers and teach them how to share with strangers and help them build their group. Can’t stand up and speak to a crowd – then sit down at the kitchen table with two or three people instead.

6. Ask your new members if they want to build a business. Some people will be so concentrated on the product benefits that they aren’t interested in building a business right away. Share this opportunity with them a few months after joining as well.

7. Support and communicate. Use classes, newsletters, e-mails, or phone calls to stay in touch with your organization and help them be successful. Share of yourself, your time, and your talents.

8. Be diligent, be persistent, be grateful. When you see how much you have been blessed though Young Living, pass it on!

HOPE that you will have the best year ever in 2012, filled with ABUNDANCE, JOY, GRATITUDE, HARMONY and that you LIVE WITH PASSION, and ENVISION a bright future for you and your family.

 

May God richly bless you in 2012!
