2012 flew by for me! How about you?

2012 was quite loaded with projects for me........this year I'm choosing to do things a little differently.

But 2012 was a good year looking back.......I learned a heck of a lot in the tech world and also about myself (for me, that last one is the best kind of learning!)

So here we go...............

Some 2012 Reflections:

I hosted the Anxiety Busting Challenge - it started Dec. 31 & continuted  into 2012

I hosted two Anxiety Busting Virtual Retreats (online)

I hosted the Anxiety Busting Summit (free event you can get access to here)

Did a video interview for the Celebrate Life Summit

Found a great hairstylist near me (by recommendation)

Wrote a guest post about connecting with your Higher Self to be the best YOU evah!

Created a Healing.....

Make 2013 the year you heal your anxiety!

Wouldn't it be nice, , to feel less anxious and feel more inner peace (even during stressful times) this year?

That's what embarking on the Inner Peace Odyssey is all about. I've put my heart + soul into this program to offer you the processes + tools I have used to heal my anxiety.

You can either walk around this earth asleep, or you can begin to wake up and choose how you want to walk on this earth while you're here.

I created this program to help you move through anxiety - thus it's infused with ease + simplicity. That's why it's a 4-month self-paced program.........if you want to turn it into an 8-month program, you can do that. If you want to move through your odyssey 10 times, you can do that too. It's created so you can move through it as slow as you like or as many times as you like.

It's your, unique, healing odyssey.

How Does Aromatherapy Work?

Aromatherapy is the art and science of using aromatic substances for healing.

The aromatice substance I talk mostly about is essential oils. Essential oils are the aromatic extracts that are distilled from different parts of plants such as the flowers, roots, leaves, needles + wood for instance.

So how do these essential oils actually work to heal the body?

First we'll learn when happens when they enter the body.

Essential oils can enter the body via the skin or through inhalation. Our sense of smell is a main pathway in terms of the effect on the body.

• So what happens is we smell an essential oil.
• The vapor stimulates hair-like receptors of our olfactory nerve.
• The olfactory nerve stimulates the limbic part of our brain.
• It's here where we process the smell and where emotions + memories are triggered.

This all happens in seconds and we respond almost immediately to a scent.

Pretty cool, eh?!

That's what happened with me when I smelled lavender essential oil for the first time back around 1998. I opened a bottle and inhaled and that was it........I felt calm + I got hooked on aromatherapy!
