Experience

      One of the reasons I bought the kit was for the tiny bottle of Grounding Blend.  I fell in love with the smell.  Oh how I love this oil. I use it EVERYDAY. I never used to think I struggled with anxious feelings. I guess I was as we say "Type A". I started using Grounding Blend because I LOVED the smell.  Grounding Blend is a blend of spruce, ho wood, frankincense, blue tansy, & blue chamomile in a base of fractionated coconut oil. 

             When I started using oils I was a bit of a skeptic. Thinking "these drops of oil can help with what??  Yeah right." But I was determined to have safe effective more natural alternatives for myself and family so I dove in and bought a big kit, and in it came a lovely 5ml bottle of Grounding Blend . Everyday I applied it to the bottom of my big toes and wrists. Before discovering oils lets just say my husband and I did not used to do well in high stress situations together.  

      There was a particular situation that involved a white out, three kids, us, no food, no extra blankets, no provisions of any kind in a snow storm, in our minivan, on our way to my in-laws. I know I know mom of the year award right here folks. Anyway, after getting stuck on the side of the road, not being able to see our hands in front of our faces, we were finally able to get out, turn around and go home safely.  Pre- Grounding Blend Allison would have FREAKED her freak in this situation. Losing it.  Have you seen Adventures in Babysitting? There is a scene that goes something like this:

Little sister, "Is she losing it? 

Older Brother "Oh she is for sure losing it?"

Babysitter, "I am not losing it!!"  

Little sister and older brother exchange looks and nod heads in agreement that the babysitter is definitely losing it.  

      Yup that would have been me. It would have been ugly. My frustration would have shined through. But it DIDN'T. I had faithfully been applying my Grounding Blend everyday, and after getting past the white out and knowing we were going to all get home safely, my husband turned and looked at me and said, "Wow...You were so calm back there...how?...that is really unlike you....wha?"

I turned to him smiled and said, "I know right?" 

      From that day forward I understood the value of my oils, and am so grateful I have them in my home. Now I am embarking on sharing them with others. Personally I think we all need a little Grounding Blend in our lives.
