Visions from the Tarot
By: Jessica
 
     For most of us, July was filled with the task of sorting through obligations, balancing schedules, and letting overcoming the disappointment of false-starts. In truth, many of us were looking for an exterior solution, an opportunity to run away from the messes that we suddenly had to face. The thing is, the Universe has been trying to teach us for so long now to let go of what no longer suits us, that now we're kind of used to tossing the negativity aside. The energy of July forced us to face up to what no longer works for us, but to stick through the difficulty and grow into leaders who are ready to power through the results of our own decision-making.

Aromatherapy Spotlight
Peppermint Oil: A Summer Time Staple
     
     The peppermint plant is one of the most versatile gifts of nature and a necessary companion for the summer. For common ailments such as sunburn, headaches and joint/muscle pain, you can mix 2-3 drops of peppermint oil into a carrier oil and rub into the affected area.  Try these mixtures for practical use:
* Itch Relief = mix 1 drop peppermint oil with 2 drops lavender and apply directly to rash.
* Bug Repellant = mix 10 drops peppermint oil into a 2 oz spray bottle filled with water and spray on clothing and around the area you will be sitting or relaxing
    
     By simply inhaling the vapors from a bottle of peppermint oil you can reduce allergy symptoms, get a burst of energy and reduce hunger cravings.  For ADHD in adults or children you can mix 1 drop of oil into 3 tbsp of water and ingest prior to activities that require focus and concentration such as studying or working.
