ESSENTIAL OILS CAN ENHANCE THE HOLIDAY AMBIANCE OF YOUR HOME
Use Essential Oils to Add Natural Holiday Fragrance to Your Home
by Christie Bailey
(NaturalNews) This holiday season scent your home naturally with pure essential oils like cinnamon and pine. These highly aromatic plant extracts are a healthier, more beneficial alternative to commercial fragrances, and you may already have the tools you need to disperse them in your home. However, there are certain precautions you should take when choosing and handling your essential oils.
What Are Essential Oils?
Essential oils are physically extracted and distilled from natural plant materials, such as the rind, leaves, and flowers. They are very concentrated and chemically complex, made up of dozens of known components -- and even more unknown components. Many of these have therapeutic, antiseptic, and fragrant properties.
They are very powerful, and nearly all must be diluted before being used internally or externally. According to "Aromatherapy: a Complete Guide to the Healing Art" by Kathi Keville and Mindy Green, a 2% dilution is typical and safe when using most essential oils. That translates into about 10 drops per ounce.
The Purity of Natural Essential Oils
It is impossible for the average consumer to determine if an essential oil is pure and unadulterated with synthetic fragrance oils, cheaper essential oils, or other chemicals. Tests do exist to analyze essential oils; however, according to the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA), even these may not be accurate. The NAHA recommends buying only from trusted suppliers.
How to Diffuse Essential Oils
One of the easiest ways to diffuse a holiday essential oil is to place several drops in a small saucepan of boiling water. If you live in the cold, this has the added benefit of warming and humidifying the air. You may want to use an old pot that you do not use for cooking in case any residual oil remains on the implement afterward.
Metal and clay lightbulb rings can be filled with a small amount of oil and fit on most incandescent bulbs. These release the oil`s scent as they are warmed by the bulb. They are a safe, energy-saving method of scenting a room because they harness wasted heat; however, they do not work with energy saving bulbs.
You may also mix several drops of essential oil into a clean spritzer bottle of fresh water. Buy an empty bottle from the supermarket or hardware store. (Because traces of chemicals may remain, never reuse a spritzer bottle from a commercial cleaner or other household product.) Shake this mixture and spray around your home.
Small diffusers that use a tealight to heat a dish of oil are sold in many metaphysical stores. However, smoke from candles may contribute to indoor pollution. If you prefer this method, use lead-free candles made of soy wax or other natural wax, not paraffin.
Warnings
Essential oils are highly concentrated and many are irritating to the skin and other tissues. Some are extremely toxic when taken internally, so do not ingest them. Keep out of reach of children.

TEACHINGS OF THE GREAT MASTERS: ON CONFIDENCE
Expect Great Things Of Yourself
Faith is an optimist because it sees the way out. Doubt is a pessimist, can not see the way ahead and fears because not conscious of being able to cope with the uncertain.
Faith is the divine messenger sent to guide man, blinded by doubt and sin.
Your own estimate of yourself, of your ability, your standing, the weight you carry, and of the figure you cut in the world, will be out-pictured in your appearance, in your manner.
Confidence is the very basis of all achievement. There is a tremendous power in the conviction that we can do a thing. The man who has great faith in himself is relieved from a great many uncertainties as to whether he is in his right place, from doubts as to his ability, and from fears regarding his future.
Freedom is essential to achievement. No once can do his greatest work when his mind is cramped with worry, anxiety, fear, or uncertainty, any more than he can do his best physical work with his body in a cramped position. Absolute freedom is imperative for the best brain work. Uncertainty and doubt are great enemies of that concentration which is the secret of all effectiveness.
We are told that it is faith that doubles one's power and multiples one's ability, and that without it we can do nothing. How quickly a strong man is stripped of his power the moment he loses confidence in himself or his ability!
The habit of dwelling on difficulties and magnifying them weakens the character and paralyzes the initiative in such a way as to hinder one from ever daring to undertake great things. The man who does things is the man who sees the end and defies the obstacles.
Many people never seem to come to themselves until they have received a great humiliating defeat. This seems to touch a spring deep in their nature, setting free dynamic forces which enable them to do marvels. When a man who has got the right stuff in him has made a slip and feels that he is down and out, when he sees those that know him regarding him as a failure, calling him a "has been", he makes a resolve to redeem himself from the disgrace and every red blood corpuscle in him helps him to make good.
