Archangels To Call Upon For Help With Releasing Fearful Thoughts & Emotions






Here’s what the angels have to say: “You have a sacred mission to spread love and light. Yet, this doesn’t happen when you are in a state of tension and worry…. rather, when you are in a state of joy and lightheartedness. Why would you feel tension and worry unless you felt that somehow you were unsafe?
And how could you be unsafe when you’ve called upon the powerful protection of all of heaven? Surrender these fears to God and Goddess, dearest one! Trust that you are supported, loved, and guided each moment…. trust that the same power that brought you to your spiritual path will also take care of everything else for you…after all, this power supports all the planets in the sky…it will surely support you perfectly too.”


Archangel Michael - whose name means “He Who is Like God”

Archangel Michael is a leader among archangels. His chief role is to escort away the lower energies of fear. He’s in charge of the order of angels known as “the Virtues”.
Archangel Michael guides and directs us with our life purpose and career path. He is usually seen carrying a sword which he uses to release us from fear and he is a very powerful protector. If you feel vulnerable, anxious, unsafe or afraid call on him to be your bodyguard and help you to release your fear and worry.
Also call on him to give you courage. When he’s around you may see sparkles or flashes of bright blue or purple light….also note that Archangel Michael is a fiery energy so you may also feel flashes of heat.


Archangel Jophiel - whose name means “Beauty of God”


Archangel Jophiel is the archangel of art and beauty. She helps us both metaphysically and physically. First she helps us think beautiful thoughts; to see and appreciate the beauty around us; and to, therefore, create, manifest, and attract more beauty into our lives.
After all, beautiful thoughts lead to beautiful outcomes. In the physical world she also helps with creative and artistic projects and illuminates our creative spark. Archangel Jophiel also helps us create beauty at home and work and in our relationships and helps us experience more grace and peace in our lives by slowing down to smell the roses and noticing the beauty that already surrounds us.
She says: “Worry never helped anything so why turn to it in time of need? It won’t nurture or heal you, quite the opposite actually. It’s so much better to put the effort into something creative as a way to quietly meditate through positive action. Create, create, create! In this way you mirror God’s own creativity.”
Call on Archangel Jophiel to help shift any negative thoughts of worry or fear to thinking positive beautiful and peaceful thoughts and to see the beauty and grace in the truth of your situation.

Archangel Uriel - whose name means “Light of God” or “Fire of God”


Archangel Uriel is the most radiant archangel because he illuminates situations and gives us knowledge and understanding of why things are the way they are. He helps us trust in the plan God/Goddess has designed for us so that when things appear to be going wrong, we know that everything is in Divine order.
Archangel Uriel is also considered as one of the wisest archangels. He has been credited with bringing knowledge of the Qaballa and the knowledge and practice of alchemy…the ability to turn base metal into precious metal, as well as the ability to manifest from thin air to humankind.
You can call upon him for intellectual information, practical solutions, and creative insight. Ask him to give you additional answers, insights, information and perspectives about something so you can make informed decisions. His personality isn’t quite as distinctive as Archangel Michael’s.
You may not even realize that he has come to help until you notice a brilliant new idea that’s entered your mind. He’s known for his ability to enlighten our minds with Divine inspiration. Pay attention to thoughts and ideas that come to you, as they’re answered prayers.
He’s also considered the “psychologist angel” because he helps heal toxins from our thoughts and emotions. He is especially good with releasing stubborn anger and unforgiveness. His healing is very subtle and graceful and he gently heals our thoughts and emotions so that we are not overwhelmed by the transformation and healing process.
I hope this angel information can help to bring you peace of mind and heart during these interesting times. Just remember the angels help is as simple as just asking and the help you receive is so powerful and effective. Don’t go through life the hard way when help is all around you.
What the angels want you to remember though is that they operate on the law of non interference so they cannot step in to help you unless you specifically ask them to with the exception of protecting you from a life endangering situation that is happening before your exit time has arrived. That would take away our free will and our power as creators of our own life experience. But they are there the moment you ask for help to lovingly provide it.
Other things that can also support your feelings of peace of mind and security are to go on a news and TV fast for a few days….the news is mostly fear based information that only adds to feelings of fear and worry…also start listening to soothing music and music with words that are supportive and uplifting.
Another thing you can do is clear the clutter and mess in your workspace and home. Clutter and mess emanate the vibrations of chaos and disorder and can be very disturbing to your energy field. Clearing your personal environment from clutter and mess can help you to feel that your world is in order and can actually help with your feelings of security and peace of mind.

Another really quick way to start feeling more peace and calming is through using essential oils.
Essential oils are able to reach deep into the recesses of our brains, cross over the chemical barriers, and open the hidden channels within our minds and bodies. Essential oils fragrances pass on to the limbic system of the brain without being registered by the cerebral cortex.
Within the limbic system resides the regulatory mechanism of the innermost core of our being. Here is the seat of our sexuality, the impulse of attraction and aversion, our motivation and our moods, our memory and creativity, as well as our autonomic nervous system.
Because the limbic system is directly connected to those parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, memory, stress levels, and hormone balance, essential oils can have some very profound physiological and psychological effects.
Also present in the limbic system of the brain is a gland called the amygdala. In 1989 it was discovered that the amygdala plays a major role in the storing and releasing of emotional trauma. The only way to stimulate this gland is with fragrance or the sense of smell. So now, with Aromatherapy and essential oils, we are able access the amygdala to release emotional trauma.

How to Combat Dry or Frizzy Hair with Essential Oils

Happy Christmas!!
Sharing my old article from Associated Content/Yahoo Contributor.. man, I miss that site.  I originally wrote this back in 2008, but since they have closed the site my article has been looking for a new home. I have since found a few places online that have plagiarized my work...I guess that's a complement.  Anyway I thought, especially during the winter months everyone's hair could use some help!! :)

How to Combat Dry or Frizzy Hair with Essential Oils


The majority of us will, at one time or another, have or constantly must battle the dreaded dry, frizzes with our luscious locks. Especially if we live in a humid or tropical climate. Even if we live in a cold and arid place, we still have to deal with other factors that could cause hair to become dry, damaged and break easily, like, the perils of wintertime, washing hair too frequently with harsh chemicals, over exposure to the sun, over use of straighteners, dyes, perming solutions, curling or straightening irons and dryers. Even chlorine and salt water could cause hair to be dry or damaged, or worse yet...hereditary causes, which are hopeless to deal with unless you have a cure. Well, never fear, we have a remedy here! Read on to see how easily the war on dry frizzy hair can be won with a few simple tricks.

Once a week, use this fail safe method of re-moisturizing your mangy mane with this fabulous fix-it for the frizzies;
Mix together 1 tablespoon of molasses or honey, 1 teaspoon jojoba oil, 1 teaspoon safflower oil, 1 teaspoon olive oil (or avocado oil), 1 egg yolk, and 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Then add 4 drops each of sandalwood, geranium and neroli essential oils. You can substitute any essential oil that works for your hair type. See list below. These e.o.s strong scents even help the with vinegar smell! Make sure it's stirred well, and apply it to your hair and massage it into the scalp. Cover with a shower cap or wrap in a towel and leave on for as long as you want, but at the very least, for 15 minutes. Many times I'll apply this in the morning, do my housecleaning, and then take a shower to shampoo and rinse it all out. Rinse your hair by adding 3 to 5 drops of your chosen essential oil to 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 3 cups warm water. Always try to cleanse the scalp and rinse hair for the last two or three minutes in cold water, this ensures your hair cuticles can close properly.

Make sure to choose products that are not too heavy with humectants as they will only make the humidity-induced frizz worse. Pick shampoos and conditioners that contain  natural humectants like  John Frieda Frizz Ease.  Humectants have magnet like properties that attract moisture, buy shampoos if possible that contain ingredients such as; beeswax, plant triglycerides such as coconut oil, palm oil, olive oil, shea butter, hydrogenated castor oil, and shea butter. Don't forget that it is possible to reduce damage to your hair by just putting a hat on if you'll be in the sun, or a swimming cap before going for a swim. And when choosing hair products, look for one with a sunscreen so your hair will be protected from the harmful UV rays, especially if you use chemicals on your hair.

One of the best possible choices would be to make your own shampoo, or use liquid castile soap which is a very mild cleanser and it doesn't contain any harsh chemicals. Just add twice the amount of hot chamomile tea or herbal infusion of your choice plus of a few drops of the essential oils best suited to your type of hair. Example: 1 cup hot chamomile tea cooled to almost room temp., 1/2 cup liquid castile soap, 3 drops rose e.o. , 3 drops sandalwood e.o. and 3 drops of carrot, sage, geranium, neroli or clary sage e.o.s. It's your choice as they all work great. See list below for best essential oils to use for dry hair.

When choosing a conditioner, or a treatment conditioner, make sure they contain  wheat, rice or corn proteins as they help repair the damaged cuticles, improve elasticity, porosity, and general health of your hair. Best would be to choose an all natural unscented conditioner and add the specific type of essential oil or oils that would work best for you. I've found that the best essential oils for dry, frizzy or damaged hair are rose, sandalwood, neroli, geranium, clary sage, sage, roman chamomile, or carrot seed. See full list below for more choices. You could make your own conditioner by using mayonnaise, avocado, jojoba, egg yolk and a few drops of e.o.s. Leave on for 10-15 min. and rinse well with cool water. Beautiful, soft and silky hair will be yours!


Best Over-All Hair Serum


This recipe is the best overall serum for hair as it covers the greatest range of problems that people normally have with their hair - from thin, dry fly-away hair, oily greasy hair that mockingly re-appear only hours after being washed, dandruff that doesn't want to leave you or a simple un-satisfaction with the quality of your hair in general. You could use this as a treatment serum or add a few drops to your shampoo or conditioner to give your hair extra bounce and a boost.

  • 4 oz. jojoba oil - find on Amazon.
  • 5 dps rosemary e.o.
  • 5 dps bay e.o.
  • 5 dps cedarwood e.o.
  • 5 dps patchouli e.o.
  • 4 dps cypress e.o.
  • 5 dps ylang ylang e.o.

Mix well and store in a dark glass jar or PET container (PET is a special kind of plastic that won't break down when essential oils are contained within)
To use; Pour a little into a cup (about a teaspoon) and dip your fingers into the oil, and gently massage the entire scalp. It is normally best to start massaging at your neck, working upwards and over the entire scalp until you finish off at your temples. Ensure that the entire scalp is treated.
When done correctly your hair will not be oily, and you will be able to go to sleep like this after waiting 30 minutes. If you feel you need to wash your hair after treatment make sure to wait at least 45 min. and use a very mild shampoo (like the one discussed above or a baby shampoo) and work a little of the treatment oil into your scalp before wetting it.
If you don't feel like making a serum, get one that works well, like; Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Relaxing Balm, or Living Proof's No Frizz Styling Treatment.

Bay is an excellent energizing hair tonic, and good for thinning hair.

Christmas miracle - Boswellia Sacra curing cancer

Aromatherapy has been a part of my life for quite some time now. The power of essential oils sparked my interest long ago when I began an amazing journey attending the Sarasota School of the Natural Healing Arts back in 1990-91. Even then, I knew that God gave us everything we would ever need right here on this beautiful planet.
Our family received a wonderful miracle this Christmas and I just had to share with you...

(excerpt from my YellowstarEssentials wordpress blog)
This is big news.
I mean huge, world changing news.
I believe Sacred Frankincense will be the next biggest thing in the battle of cancer. Image
This year my family received a Christmas miracle. I believe Sacred Frankincense was the catalyst.
I still can’t get over how wonderful this news is. All the prayers, positive mental attitude,  and everything else that goes along with living healthy were all a part of it.
Click here to read the rest of the blog post Frankincense curing cancer.  

Much research is being done on Frankincense and it's ability to cure cancer.
Watch this unbelievable You Tube Video where Dr. Mahmoud Sunhail is speaking about the cancer research he is conducting on this species of Frankincense in Oman. Honestly, the results are astonishing. Please pass this on to anyone who is looking for alternative or natural cancer solutions or prevention! Please!
If you are short on time----start at minute 5.
 

If you've had any experience with the healing power of Sacred Frankincense leave me a message, I'd love to hear your story. :)

Essential Oils and Chakras Part Seven; Using Essential Oils for Balancing Chakras; 6th Chakra or the Third Eye Chakra

If you missed part one, see it here; Essential Oils and Chakras Part One; Introduction to Using Essential Oils for Balancing the Chakras and Part Two; Using Essential Oils for Balancing Chakras; The Root Chakra ,and
  Part Three; The Sacral Chakra. , Part Four; The Solar Plexus Chakra , Part Five; The Heart Chakra , and Part Six; The 5th Chakra-Throat Chakra .

The Third Eye Chakra; 6th Chakra (Ajna) - Intuition, Wisdom, Logic & E.S.P


The sixth chakra (also called the 'third eye' or brow chakra) is located at the pituitary/pineal level in the center of the brain (not the center of the forehead), and is also known as "the Third Eye". This chakra governs spiritual direction and wisdom. It is the seat of dreams, inner vision, and the spiritual life. Its color is indigo or shades of dark blue and deals with self-mastery, wisdom, opening doors to the subconscious, restoring long-buried soul memories, bridging the finite and infinite, assisting and guiding our inner journeys to spiritual or cosmic knowledge. Indigo also deals with connecting to a higher understanding, self-acceptance, and intuition, as well as spiritual and celestial love. The 6th chakra is the seat of all your intuitive abilities: inner seeing, inner hearing, inner feeling and inner knowing. The physiological functions of the third eye chakra or 6th chakra are related to vision, the eyes, and the pituitary gland, the 1st cervical vertebrae, endocrine system, sinuses, ears, and face, and metaphysically affects; the energy center of intuition, imagination, and creative visualization.
This chakra is about seeing, both literally and intuitively. It gives us insight. When it is open we are very self aware, perceptive and may have heightened clairvoyance. We are better at healing, more sure of the future, and tend to make better choices. This is the chakra of visions and dreams and imagination.
