BACKGROUND The Harmony blend was formulated by Young Living Founder D. Gary Young as a spiritual and emotional blend that may help promote harmony in all areas in life. Intrigued at how different it smells on everyone, men have enjoyed it as an aftershave and women as a perfume for many years, and it is a main blend in Gary's Great Day Protocol.

The oils in the Harmony blend work together to help us promote harmony within our minds and bodies through releasing the past, finding peace in the present and looking forward to the future.

HARMONY & EMOTIONS Why use these essential oils for this process? Because of the power of aromatherapy and the limbic system.

Our sense of smell is directly related to our emotions and mood. The cranial nerve associated with smell sits next to the hypothalamus - the area of the brain responsible for mood, feelings and emotional processing. This means we can connect these two things on a physical level!

Essential oils are also high in compounds that can cross the blood brain barrier to reprogram bad coding from the cells. Then other compounds rewrite that code to restore the original perfect copy, one that will not keep us pulled into the physical and emotional effects of stress. This is a process, but the great thing about essential oils is that we have a CHOICE to embrace that process instead of loading our bodies up with lots of toxins and other things that create more confusion in the cells.

So how do we do this? What does it look like practically?

Harmony helps to release toxic beliefs and thought patterns related to feeling ignored, crushed, hostile, afraid of punishment, beating ourselves up, sarcasm, and stubbornness. When we feel ignored, our perception is that we are not a part of the big picture. We aren't good enough, worthy enough, or able to play our part. When we are crushed, we are collapsing inwardly. Who we are has been forced down and suppressed. We stop seeing our part. When we are hostile, we are quick to see others as the enemy, and everything in life as an opposition to our part. We are trying to play alone, because we can't trust the other parts.

When there are situations where you are experiencing some of the emotions listed above, sit or stand still until you feel where that emotion is causing a sensation in your body. It might feel like pain, twitching, tingling, aching, nausea, heat, cold, or a general tension. Rub Harmony over the area (or just nearby if it's sensitive), and hold your hand over the spot. Take several deep breaths. This is a simple step to become aware of the mind-body connection. It's okay if you don't know how to fix all of these issues right this minute. Begin embracing the idea that you have a part to play, a harmony that only you can add to the relationships and opportunities in your life!
