"Being on your card" was the message from Unity service this past Sunday, which means showing up and living your truth, being who you came here to be, shining your light for the betterment of others.
I live in a world blessed by the essence of plants. I write to you often about the benefits of essential oils in your life. I tell you of ways to transition to Nature based wellness and care. I thought I would share how I got confirmation from the universe that I was on my card.
I had embraced skincare formulation in 2001 after the birth of my second child and created enticing smells with therapeutic essential oils. As I continued to explore and learn the realms of plant essences, it was in 2003 that I went back to school to become a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist.
One wintry day in late 2004, my daughter Zaya sat playing at her table; she dropped a toy. As she reached for it, she lost her balance and fell on the wood burning stove. She seared her skin from her pinky finger to her elbow. My husband scooped her up and rushed to the kitchen as I reached for my purse and pulled out a bottle of Lavender essential oil. I poured an entire 10ml bottle of this oil down her arm. Quickly her crying subsided and I assessed the situation, which did not look good.
As a parent wanting to protect her children, I felt we should go to the hospital for another opinion. Upon arriving in the ER, Zaya was laughing and talking about life as a toddler would know it. The severity of her burn was 2nd degree and the hospital staff was amazed that she was so calm and happy. I explained my profession and told them what I had done by applying Lavender essential oil to the burn site. I had actually stopped the action of burning further into the tissue and effectively sedated my daughter. The doctors and nurses looked at me as if I were speaking a different language and didn't understand.
As they gently examined and cleaned the burn area, Zaya continued to laugh and talk about her world as a toddler knows it. I was then told that we would have to schedule an appointment with a plastic surgeon as a skin graft would be needed.
Stay Tuned for Part 2....
Instead of looking like you as if you were speaking another language they could have been enlightened! How many missed opportunties do we have because of EGO. Here were the very people who could have used your easy and wonderful advice in a very basic way and they missed the turn..may the turn come again.
