What It Means When You’re “Going Green”!

If you think that “going green” means adding the word “organic” to everything on your shopping list, then you’ll likely save the planet while spending yourself into the poor-house. Separating the bull from the organic fertilizer doesn’t have to be an expensive process, and in fact the idea of “saving” is the core of the Green movement.

I haven’t limited this to just ideas that help you save on your power-bill either. I’ve also included ways you can MAKE money while keeping the planet green and vibrant for ourselves and our children. You don’t have to be a greedy corporate polluter to make money – you just have to be smart in the choices that you make.

Benefits of Tea

Second only to water, tea is the most widely consumed beverage around the globe. Its desirable taste and relaxation and weight-management effects are just a few of the reasons why. These qualities found in tea can be traced to a unique, naturally occurring, and neurologically active amino acid known as L-theanine.

L-theanine is a free amino acid found almost exclusively in tea plants. It is the predominant amino acid in green tea leaves, giving green tea its pleasant, savory taste. Contrary to the stimulating properties of caffeine, L-theanine acts antagonistically against caffeine on the nervous system, creating a sense of relaxation and heightened mental awareness 30 to 40 minutes after consumption[...]

The ABC’s of Enlightenment

Sometimes, even in the midst of a mistake, discovering takes place. This was illustrated to me on a day when I decided to explore the properties and benefits of Young Living’s Awaken™ essential oil blend. After opening a bottle, I poured some oil into a 1-ml container. Unfortunately, an unsteady hand sent half of the bottle spilling out over the table. Thinking quickly, I applied the spilled oil to the back of my neck, hairline, wrist pulses, soles of my feet, and temples. By the end of the day, I looked back and noticed I had accomplished a lot more than usual, procrastinated far less, and in general could sustain work with greater ease allowing me to accomplish long-awaited projects.

The next day I applied Awaken, this time 1–2 drops on same areas, and applied Believe™ on my heart chakra and third eye. Believe is a beautiful blend of Idaho balsam fir, rosewood, and frankincense. As a blend, Believe helps release the unlimited potential we all possess. A few minutes after applying both essential oil blends, my prayer was simple: “I am a vessel of God’s light. May every action, every thought, every feeling, every belief, every moment be filled with the light of God and may all that I am and do today be of value to all of life.” This set the direction for my day and recognized the importance of hope and belief in the unlimited potential that lies within.
