Everyone learns at the rate they need to, with various life lessons influencing their journey. For me it was my health, but even more so it was my kids. I knew for years my health was in jeopardy, it was affecting my physical and mental health.
Empowered Wellness is a journey and one I am grateful to be on. I learn every single day – and I am quick to be sure my kids know that. No matter my age, I will always be learning!
This week my BOGO Box arrived from doTERRA filled with 5 oils I knew about and 5 surprise free oils for our collection. When I opened the box last night, I sat down to review the emotional uses of each oil. There was one in the collection that I admittedly haven’t used in a very long time. As I wrote down the oils and listed each of them and their emotional uses, I felt even more reassured with my wellness journey.
doTERRA purposely selected oils with physical AND emotional uses that will raise our vibration and boost our health as we are currently in the winter of 2020.
Ylang Ylang – Inner Child
Siberian Fir – Aging and Perspective
Oregano – Humanity and Non-Attachment
On Guard – Protection
Breath – Breath
Peppermint – Buoyant Heart
Copaiba – Unveiling
Adaptiv – Adaptability
Northern Escape – *new oil blend* Piney, Fresh and Clean. Contains Black Spruce, Siberian Fir, Balsam Fir, Lavandin, Cedarwood, Cypress, Hinoki, Frankincense, Nootka, Cananga and Clove.
Air X – *new oil blend* Calming and Energizing. Citrusy with a faint woody and herbal tones. Contains Litsea, Tangerine, Grapefruit, Frankincense and Cardamom
Check out those emotional uses… at this time in the world when we are all experiencing a change in our life. Think of how ALL of these oils can begin to shift that for you, even without thinking of the physical health benefits, lets chat about the emotional uses. Putting one or a combination of these oils into the diffuser and how it will shift your home or office. Do an experiment, select 1-3 oils and put them in the diffuser and watch the mannerisms of the people in your space, also paying attention to yourself. Diffusing oils is a beautiful way to shift the mental state and freshen, scent, neutralize and cleanse the air in a natural way (without toxic chemicals – read the labels of various other products you may have previously used).
One thing we have been doing in our own home is purposely shifting our mental and physical state, for each of us whether its in our main living areas or in each of our bedrooms. This is something that, although the world feels uncertain, slightly worrysome or fearful at times, within the walls of our home is purely about whoever lives there. Focusing on what IS within our control and how we can support our mental health is important, as when our mental health is thriving, our physical health does as well!
As Ive traveled down this journey of life, I feel I need to re-introduce myself to my community. With this re-introduction I am also shifting my focus and am really excited about this!
My name is Pam, also known as Pamela to some family members. I am the artist and architect of my life. A Mom, Wife, Photographer, Healer, Biz Woman living the Oily Life!
In 2016 I began sharing my lifestyle with others, focusing mainly on the essential oils and holistic benefits to removing toxins and chemicals from our lifestyle for our physical and emotional health. What I have ultimately learned, is that although these oils are a true benefit to our complete whole body and mind health, to truly make a shift in your life it needs to be a conscious lifestyle shift which encompasses more than our beautiful oils. Its also embracing yourself deeply and completely for who you are and the life you choose to live.
In early 2017 I made a choice to be more conscious. After years of health challenges and road blocks, many of which I experienced in silence. I made a choice to BE in my life rather than just going through the motions living it.
The power of thought is incredibly transforming. One I continue to learn about more and more each day.
I understand that although I love food, not all food is loved by my body. The importance of listening to ourself, it’s incredible what we can learn when we get quiet, feel and are conscious in our life.
What better time than now!
I feel a re-introduction is long over due, because I am a completely different person than I was back in the summer of 2014 when I leaned into that urge of ‘what if natural health was the answer’… unknown to me at the time, what the exact question was!
As a mother, the most important “position” I will ever have, I have also learned it’s easy to allow life to consume us. When in reality, we should consume life, we should make the choices and enjoy the process. Not feel vice versa.
I am picking up my camera more, putting pen to paper, allowing my creative juices to flow, learn new life processes, educate through reading and discussing. Focusing on my lane, as a friend pointed out!
This is a time of growth and expansion. To pull slightly within and honor your souls whispers.
I feel truly grateful for the lifestyle we have crossed paths with. For living empowered within our home for our mental and physical health. Knowing that I have truly shaped my outcome by the subtle, significant shifts over time that have resulted in massive long lasting results. A lifestyle that is magic. Where I could fall back one day and shift into realignment the next. Where it’s ok to be human, to do better because I know better. To be gracious, compassionate and conscious.
I feel passionate about helping people realize their own true value in their own life. The power they actually hold within their lifestyle and being the best person they can be. Being led by the importance of self care. One aspect in our life that often is too easily overlooked and under appreciated. Been there done that, who else gets daily reminders?! For me its number sequences or songs! Oooh sometimes animals too!
This week especially I’ve felt a very strong pull to make shifts. To pull back in some areas of my life to allow re-growth in other areas.
To be truly authentic in all that I am, in a way that feels totally me!
Welcome back to my blog!
I’m excited to share more of what I feel is important to living a conscious, compassionate lifestyle! 🥰
My husband and I went on a Fall colours tour this afternoon🍁🍂 I am so grateful for this warm fall weather to continue enjoying the nature!
Shot with my Canon 5DMIII Mums with the 100mm f2.8L Macro Lens and Landscape with my 24-105mm f4L Lens.
As fall transitions, it’s a reminder for us to check our healthy habits. Over the summer it’s easy to let things slide. I also take a lot of photos during the spring and summer especially. Something that truly lights me up, the pure enjoyment, as well capturing memories.
Since embarking on this health journey and experiencing the incredible benefits nature has for our health, I get excited with the anticipation of the new oils or products that are going to be announced each year at Convention!
This year in 2020, convention of course was different, as it was all online. However, that also gave literally anyone and everyone the opportunity to listen in!
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised and impressed at the convertion kit and the products! At a time in everyone’s life where there is still so much uncertainty and unknown, doTERRA is meeting the needs with reformulation of some products, the creation of a new wellness subscription and additions to existing product lines!
Within the convention kit came the first Mind & Mood Kit 1 which included the 10ml Adaptiv Roller, Adaptiv Softgels, 15ml Balance, a Balance bar of soap and a mini Balance deodorant!
What is really cool about these Wellness Subscriptions is you can opt into your choice of 3, Mind & Mood, Immune and Relief.
The wellness subscription is over 3 months and includes various products each month depending on the path you choose. I am honestly opting into the Immune path for October, it’s exactly what is needed this time of year with the kids back in school to boost our immune systems, plus its products we use all the time and some new bonuses! Let me know if you have questions, I am happy to help and this program has me excited for people, especially those who have maybe dabbled but aren’t sure or want a bit more guidance! This is phenomenal!
DoTERRA also introduced some new oils that are awesome!
Bergamot Mint – The oil is light and fresh. Beneficial for comforting, feelings of relaxation, clears the air of odours, also beneficial in a surface clean.
Tulsi (Holy Basil) – This oil smells like chocolate! Straight up smells so good! It’s in a 5ml bottle. So approx 80 drops. Exclusive to the convention kit. This oil promotes patience, calming atmosphere, benefits oral hygiene and is beneficial for healthy skin.
Davana Touch – I could use this oil daily, it smells that delicious!!! It is also exclusive to the convention kit. This oil is soothing and provides feelings of balanced to help quiet the mind. A powerful, sweet, fruity aroma. When worn it creates a unique scent for each individual.
Helichrysum Touch – Is now a permanent product! This oil I have in my purse in my little first aid kit. It’s incredible. Beneficial for anything and all skin related!
On Guard Wipes – I think every mother just let out a huge sigh of relief!!! Even before this pandemic, I was conscious and aware of our health. I used to get sick all the flippin time, before I began this holistic journey. So I would spray my hands with my On Guard spray after touching the meat at the grocery store. These wipes are perfect if you are out with kids or go to a restaurant, to know the surface you are touching and possibly eating on, are truly clean but also safe from harmful chemicals, which are being excessively used now. Handy to throw in your purse, backpack (kids), vehicle first aid box!
On Guard Toothpaste – Already a fav of mine, personally! DoTERRA has reformulated the toothpaste receipe to a new and improved formula powerful natural whitening and remineralizing. In addition to the beautiful spice of On Guard, they have added in Wintergreen and Pepermint as well as Myrrh.
These products and reformulation are a practical solution for so many of us right now. The past 7 months for Canadians and Americans, our lives have been shifted and for some completely turned upside down.
Nature knows. If you have been struggling and you are looking for something… please, I welcome you to reach out! Our self care and mental well being is an everyday task that must be normalized. I also pray for the day that the government stands up and takes notice on how so many ingredients in our food, drinks, personal and home cleaning/care products are causing negative health effects in people. Speaking from experience my health began improving when we made a shift in our home. A true shift towards a holistic lifestyle. DoTERRA aligned with me, for the products, research, testing and growing collaboration were all a part of that. As well as the education available. I didn’t just feel like I was buying something online.
I am proud to share these oils with you, because I’ve experienced shifts myself. If now is the time that you are ready to question the “what if” and take a leap towards a more earth friendly, holistic wellness approach in your home, contact me let’s get you set up with a path that is right for you!!!
How well we sleep at night has a lot to do with the energy within our home and our body. As we have been through the various planning stages of our home renovations, my husband and I began to pay more specific attention to Feng Shui in the bedroom when we were putting the finishing touches on our bedroom layout and design before our framers started.
Renovating our home (and lets be real all of the homes we have lived in) has been a true journey, one that has been a labour of love without a doubt, but also one that has given us so much satisfaction! To take a solid shell that our 30 yr old home is and literally customize every single inch of the home to US! This home, although the most work, the biggest transformation and our proudest yet!
Mirrors – I read that mirrors in a bedroom is actually bad feng shui when the mirror faces the bed – which in most bedroom layouts this is the case. Thankfully we designed our master suite with a separate bedroom area and closet dressing/ensuite area. So our mirrors will be within this area and not near our bed. This is a great article of how to use mirrors to create good Feng Shui.
Under The Bed – We debated about building a solid structure for our bed to sit on, however in reading more its best to actually have it open under your bed so that energy can flow. Its also key to not store anything under the bed either.
Water – Both my husband and I love the water, the sound, the image, the feel. However in reading about Feng Shui in the bedroom, water is discouraged. For good reason, as water puts out Fire.
Bed Placement in the Room – One thing I did not enjoy about our old bedroom is that when we were laying in bed our feet were pointing out the doorway. This is bad energy and can affect your sleep. Unfortunately due to the size of our old bedroom we weren’t able to have a sturdy foot board or piece of furniture “This will also deflect and disperse any qi that comes in through the door and protect you in bed. It’s good option.” (Source This article has some good options if your bedroom lay out has your bed facing the doorway). Proper bed placement in a bedroom is in the “commanding position” so the doors are visible but when you walk into the room you do not directly run into the bed.
Bed Under a Window – One thing we really wanted in our new room is a lot of natural light. We opted to add a transom window over our bed. Knowing, in feng shui this isn’t ideal, I also read that if you do have a window above your bed it is important to have a solid headboard. Ours is made from wood and it is also upholstered so I felt confident in our decision to opt for more light.
A nook I have created in our bedroom! The canvas photograph, one of my absolute favourites, has water, however as a beautiful sunrise photograph you can also feel the warmth in the image across the water from the gorgeous sunlight!
I am excited to learn more about Feng Shui, something I have been dabbling in for years now, but was able to truly bring to life in our new space!
It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed. To think way far ahead at “everything” that needs to get done and suddenly nothing gets done because you feel so overwhelmed at all you “have to do”.
You, is also me.
I’ve learned this about myself quite a few times, the difference is I can much more easily recognize and forgive myself to take a step back and take things one step at a time.
Having Futuristic as my top strength, can attribute to this as a downfall. On top of that being a virgo 😉! Looking forward, planning, strategizing… all good attributes especially during renos, but at times it’s best to take it a task by task, moment by moment.
We learn to love ourselves for who we really are, my true soul deep down, and honor that.
By this stage of our renos, it’s always hit me. Like I said I’ve gotten so much more gracious with myself honoring time and space.
This evening the kids and I tackled a few things that helped move forward and provided a visual aspect of movement. When my husband got home we enjoyed dinner and decided the rest of the night was to relax and recharge. A MUST if you are doing any renovating for sure, or are living through Covid-19 days.
As I was going through the plans with my daughter, I began to mentally make lists of what all “had to happen”. When it hit me, a wonderful reminder to just stay in the moment. Everything would fall into place, like it always does, and most times for the better in some shape or form.
We have literally lived through every single renovation and that has helped us shape our home to our lifestyle and ultimately us. I commented the other night to my husband that I love our home so much. I thought I did before, but its 10 times more now! And it’s not even done LOL!
My gracious reminder for tonight to be gracious to myself, take it one step at a time and trust that what is meant to be, will be. ✌
Get outside in some way, breathe in the fresh air, enjoy the sunshine, or rain like tonight! 🌧 Allow your thoughts to flow, brain dump onto paper, drink water! How’s your energy? For me my health thrives with vitamin, mineral and omega supplements, healthy food, toxin free beauty and cleaning products! Moving my body is becoming more of a priority, what I have recognized is when I am comfortable in my space, the more I will move my body because I have less of a to-do list going through my head. When in truth I don’t need to wait. It’s simply pulling back, back into being. 💕
Get the diffuser on! This helps me shift even better from beginning to feel overwhelm, realizing when that happens, nothing happens. Essential Oils have been a god send, honestly. They have helped shift our households mental and emotional health, which also benefits our physical health! The healthiest our family has ever been and continue to every single day! It feels so good to feel good and feel strong! Tonight its straight up Clemintine in a couple diffusers! Clemintine smells incredibly fresh, renewing and as a citrus our family finds it also comforting.
One thing I did tonight was take an inventory of all of our oils. We use them alot, in the past 5 months, we should have used them alot more in the first 2-3 months! I get caught up in life and even something as simple as starting the diffuser or grabbing a roller bottle gets forgotten, actually looked over. Because my mind is cloudy. I purposely have at least 1 extra bottle of the oils we use all the time. Plus any oils that I receive free in my LRP or BOGO week!!! I’ve got some points built up that I like to use for restocking our oils for the wall in our kitchen/dining room and the smaller connection downstairs. 🥰
We gain so much more momentum when we pull back and simply be. 🙏 With grace and ease. Love and compassion. Understanding and appreciation.
Taking a step back, can have so much power to propel forward! When you get out of your head! 🙌
The past over 4 months has had its ups and down. Alot of fear and worry. I began to sink pretty low. There was SO much unknown. So much fear. School was cancelled in an instant. Kids forced to stay home and feared to be around anyone, or even leave the house.
My husband and I both work in a profession that is deemed “essential” so we have been working the entire time. The mom guilt I felt those first 3 weeks was overwhelming. Along with the fear, worry, sadness, confusion.
Family functions forcibly cancelled. Along with the kids sports. Well sports in general. The world felt like it came to a roaring halt. I could feel the fear when I shopped for necessities. Also now looking back, grossly over spending, that was purely fear spending.
I have felt very confused this entire time. Simply because I know first hand that if the government truly cared about its people, they would begin making logical changes to the various products we use each and everyday. Many of which have some life altering side effects or lasting results. Speaking completely from my own health experiences my health truly began to thrive when I finally said no to only the “modern medicine” way and began empowering my own health naturally. The effects were phenomenal and still are. Ingredients in our cleaning, home, body, food, drink products matter in a very big way for our health. Yes there are times modern medicine is required, of course. However first step, the government is worried about people’s health and the potential damage this virus could cause to people… begin banning these toxins from our products that DO cause negative health issues. Enforce stricter food guidelines for how food is made, ingredients that are in the products. I know higher quality equates to higher costs for production etc. This is however where we could then shift, the government could offer businesses incentives for improving their ingredients, for removing the toxic damaging ingredients that for example many are endocrine disruptors, they can affect our mental and physical health. A recent article in the US is about the FDA Warning Against 9 Hand Sanitizers That May Contain a Toxic Ingredient. Why were the products allowed to be sold in the first place? If the government knows about how tragic and costly Endocrine Disruptors are, why are they allowed as ingredients in products? Is the mighty dollar worth more than our health to a business? This personally hits home for me and is very concerning.
People were being told to stay away from each other, seniors in retirement and nursing homes literally left alone with no one to personally advocate for their health. Children having to attend appointments alone because only 1 person is allowed in. The reasoning given is because its too dangerous for an extra person to be in close proximity. Even if not showing any symptoms. Isn’t it more dangerous for a loved one to not have someone as a 2nd set of ears for them at appointments, or when a senior forgets to tell the medical professional one or two important details of what they were experiencing. A child going in for a dental appointment, in this situation I am grateful for small town rural living, knowing and trusting the people my child would be in the care of, also knowing they would communicate with me as his mother. Had we lived in the city, I would be 100% not ok with this. Purposely limiting human connection, interaction, can be just as damaging as a virus that causes physical illness. Social isolation, loneliness in older people causes health risks.
“For example, loneliness may alter the tendency of cells in the immune system to promote inflammation, which is necessary to help our bodies heal from injury, Dr. Cole said. But inflammation that lasts too long increases the risk of chronic diseases.“
“Loneliness acts as a fertilizer for other diseases,” Dr. Cole said. “The biology of loneliness can accelerate the buildup of plaque in arteries, help cancer cells grow and spread, and promote inflammation in the brain leading to Alzheimer’s disease. Loneliness promotes several different types of wear and tear on the body.”
People who feel lonely may also have weakened immune cells that have trouble fighting off viruses, which makes them more vulnerable to some infectious diseases, he added.“
3. We were 3 months into this pandemic when our county was mandated to wear mandatory masks. The first notice that came out stated that every single person in the business/commercial space had to wear a mask. Even if people weren’t directly near each other. We had been working the ENTIRE time. When the numbers were at the all time high. We were being consciously aware of what we were all doing, practicing proper hygiene, using common sense and respecting each others personal space.
4. There has been alot of people coming forward about numbers not being correct. We know of two real in life people who experienced this. One was sick, went for a test because this person works with the public, was told by the nurse that he would be tested for covid-19 and it didn’t matter if he tested positive or negative, he would be marked down as positive. The other, a friend, awesome guy and dad, his life threatening heart surgery was cancelled because of this covid-19 pandemic. There were no cases in the hospital, to my knowledge I don’t think there was any in the town even. Yet all surgery’s, were cancelled. He unfortunately experienced a heart attack and a week later passed. The nurse asked his family if they wanted this marked as a Covid-19 death, which they promptly and firmly expressed it was not a covid death, he died because of the covid-19 restrictions, but he tested negative upon admittance into the hospital.
5. Mandatory masks with children – still no definite back to school plans, although the Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto wrote a wonderful article of their recommendations for back to school. What I could easily see happening if children were expected to go back to school with the current “mandates” wearing a mask and socially distancing, the emotional effects would be far more devastating to the physical effects. Especially when kids do get sick, all the time. Honestly, a week before the “world shut down” my son was sick. He rarely gets sick, both of the kids rarely do. This took him down hard from Sunday to Tuesday, began showing much more positive shifts by Wednesday, even better Thursday but still not 100%. Friday much better, however it was announced on Thursday that after school Friday, classes would not go back until 2 weeks after March Break. So we didn’t send him, what was the point if the virus was that serious, its not ‘worth risking it’. Chances are, that could have been what he had. Honestly, something got me late February and early March. I take supplements, that have drastically improved my own health and immune system. However I went and got Vitamin C from our local eco store, stocked up on my On Guard + and took the soft gels regularly,
6. If the virus is that deadly, why do people have to be tested to see “if they have it”? If its that easily transmitted why isn’t there hazard disposal bags for masks, gloves, wipes etc?
This virus has caused so much division. Especially when the facts simply do not line up. All the way along being told life wont go back to “normal” until there is a vaccine. Yet hundreds of thousands of people have healed from this virus! Thousands of people die each year from Influenza. There is an optional vaccine, which me and my family have never taken and choose not to. So why is this suddenly needed, if people are healing!? This is what does not make sense to me. To bring in mandated mandatory masks, does legit have me worried that the next step will be a mandatory vaccination. Something I personally do not support. Yes I have my own health issues, yes I used to have a weakened immune system, yes I have elderly family members I love dearly, yes I have family members with health issues, yes I have children.
I firmly believe everyone must take ownership for their own health. The government needs to stand up and remove known harmful toxins and chemicals from the products on the shelves in our stores. That is a first step to improving the health of our nation, not a mask which covers a persons face. Honestly it reminds me of a muzzle. Have you ever been in an abusive relationship? If you have you will know that feeling in comparison to a muzzle. The government is not forcing us to wear masks for the better of our health, or to “save us”, to protect our health. If they cared, those various products, foods etc and their ingredients would be banned. Cigarettes which cause so many major health problems in people of all ages, would be banned, but they aren’t. People who work in a public commercial space have to wear their mask through the store to walk outside, to have their cigarette. Which don’t get me wrong that is entirely their choice. Just like me taking care of my health in MY way is my choice. Myself and my children, my husband are all vaccinated. I am in no way antivax, however I am VERY pro choice when it comes to our health, especially given my own health experiences.
For those who think its all about the mask, just wear the mask whats the problem. Who have said “well you wont care about the doctor and nurses not wearing masks in the operating room” or “cooks and food servers not having to wash their hands after using the bathroom because that is their choice”. Those statements are pure ignorance, there is no comparison. An operating room is sterile, a person’s body is being opened up into that environment, clearly that’s extremely different than going to a grocery store. Or cooking and serving food, that will be consumed by someone, why wouldn’t someone be expected to wash their hands after using the bathroom? This is common sense. This is expected by everyone and yet we cannot guarantee that people do this, or even did this before this virus came into our living. What did we do before? People got sick, “flu season” was a huge marketing ploy by big pharma with the over the counter med’s. Many of which shouldn’t be used with various medications, but who reads all that fine print…
You are missing a very key factor – what do children do as they grow, they ask a LOT of questions, and keep asking over and over, this is how they learn. Sure we could take what the government says, what health officials say and take their word as the only way, the only solution. Sure that’s an option…
An option that if I had solely relied on like I did for over 30 yrs of my life, my health would be at risk even more than it was back in 2014 before I made the shift. Am I immune from ever getting sick or ill, nope. No one is, but I choose to be proactive in my health, mental and physical. I choose to be that person who questions, who says I don’t care that “this” is the norm, I want to find what works for ME! I choose to know the ingredients, to follow my body’s example and learn what is best and what is not. There is no magic pill for perfect health, its a life long journey, where we will stumble, fall, but the best part is the strength of standing up. The power of being empowered and truly in control of the one thing you have control over… our self!
I can admit I am not a big science person, however… I am a big numbers person!
A positive test result shows you may have antibodies from an infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. However, there is a chance a positive result means that you have antibodies from an infection with a virus from the same family of viruses (called coronaviruses), such as the one that causes the common cold.
Having antibodies to the virus that causes COVID-19 may provide protection from getting infected with the virus again. If it does, we do not know how much protection the antibodies may provide or how long this protection may last.
Talk with your healthcare provider about your test result and the type of test you took to understand what your result means. Your provider may suggest you take a second type of antibody test to see if the first test was accurate.
From the CDC website, in a memo from March it stated: Should “COVID-19” be reported on the death certificate only with a confirmed test? COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have causedor contributed to death. Certifiers should include as much detail as possible based on their knowledge of the case, medical records, laboratory testing, etc. If the decedent had other chronic conditions such as COPD or asthma that may have also contributed, these conditions can be reported in Part II. (See attached Guidance for Certifying COVID-19 Deaths)
The pre-existing conditions mentioned in this chart are Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes, Chronic Respiratory Disease, Hypertension, Cancer.
There are currently 14,844,353 confirmed cases and 612,795 deaths from the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak as of July 21, 2020, 00:17 GMT. This means the recovery, survival rate of the world is 99.958% !!! Yet… the world was shut down, fear is still being projected to stay away from people even though the government is finally allowing more businesses to open, with intense restrictions. Mandatory masks, gives people a false sense of security. People do not wear them properly, they do not cover their entire mouth/nose – can’t say I blame them because its challenging especially for anyone who has ever experienced anxiety, depression or abuse. And the judgment… what gives everyone a right to judge each other. If wearing a mask and gloves makes you feel more secure, thats your choice. Just like its my choice to choose holistic health, eat foods that do not contain damaging ingredients or wash my clothes, dishes and body in soaps that do not contain endocrine disruptors. Based on the pre-existing conditions MANY people have the choice to choose healthy over convenience, because that is honestly a big part of it. Fast food places, cheaply made products that are deemed “disposable”. We and our world deserve and must demand better.
Bottom line, if the government truly cared, many other things that are allowed would change. Including doing business. Equality for everyone in business without the ability to hide behind a corporation or two or more. To support law in our country (really in the world) but also demand fairness. Put the bad people behind bars, for a very long time. Now is the time for people to be enjoying the extra time at home, but also to not be afraid to question. Without disrespect. Understanding everyone is entitled to their opinion and you know what you know. We learn by allowing our minds to open up and allow more information in. If we are closed off and firmly believe its this way or the highway…
I wouldn’t expect anyone to just read this and think ‘Holy shit Pam knows it all I have to believe everything she says’, not a chance. Its about everyone being individually empowered. I included the links purposely for this reason, if reading any of this even makes you say hmmmm once, explore more.
Ive said to my husband more than once, I do not understand the purpose of the army. He was in the army, albeit before we met. I envision a world filled with peace, love, respect. Clearly there would be ups and downs, that we all constructively learn from, educate ourselves, grow and continue moving forward – no shame, continuous support available for mental health – free for all. Lower income taxes and taxes in general with a restructure of governments. No disrespect to anyone specifically, but lets be real. Also sports players and movie stars, again no disrespect, but were you “essential” during this pandemic? Its probably not necessary for a $50 million dollar contract?! Its the snowball effect, with everything, and don’t get me wrong money is a fantastic tool, but when its falsely inflated with the significant amount of money these “stars” and “athletes” earn and purchase things, think of the housing market how drastically it can raise, because people have it. Who has been deemed “essential”, among the beginning, phase 1, phase 2 and now phase 3.
If you feel 100% confident in what you understand and believe, all the power to you. If you feel that confident why bother trying to force things on me and be judgmental and disrespectful?! There simply is no need. Being empowered with our own health, people can learn to do what works for them. We are all unique. My body interacts with essential oils for many aspects of my health in a very positive way. Since making this shift I have learned alot about what is “normal” and what should be addressed, as peace of mind.
It was during my personal coaching a couple years ago, when I truly learned the benefits to energy flowing properly through your body. We talked about my invisible health illnesses that I live with – PCOS most specifically and my coach, Helen Murray did some research.
Did you know that whether you are a woman or man, everyone can feel benefits in their physical health when the energy in your body is flowing as it should be.
It was a true awakening for me, with the research she found – that for women our endocrine system is affected by our sacral chakra… makes sense that’s where its all located in our bodies. This truly intrigued me and set me off researching more… this all began to make even more sense to me. Prior to doing the cleanse and restore that literally changed my life, I did my Reiki 1 Certification training…
I found a fabulous website article about Chakras and The Endocrine System. This site describes in detail these 7 Chakra’s, Crown, Third Eye, Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus, Sacral and Root, as well as what we can be experiencing physically if these energy centers are out of alignment.
I have personally witnessed and felt significant shifts not only within myself but also within my family when chakra’s are properly balanced and flowing as they should be. Children are amazing indicators of energy and also embrace it in a very big way. Animals are as well and are easily drawn.
If you feel an uneasy feeling, or butterflies, that something is off. It honestly quite possibly is your chakra’s out of balance and needing to get back into realignment.
From my personal experience, my mental and physical health began improving tenfold when I opened my heart and mind even more to the possibility of the power of energetic healing! If you or someone you love is struggling, this might be an option they should consider 😉
Balancing chakra’s can be done with an energy worker, by getting yourself quiet out in nature, deep breathing and meditating, using natures power in essential oils but really and truly, using crystals, music, it begins with you, allowing yourself to listen to your heart and soul. To put your true well being first and foremost. Realizing that everything is energy.
A great first step – notice your breathing. Of course everyone breathes, we have to to be alive. However HOW are you breathing. Is it short and shallow or deep and long? Sit for 30 seconds and just breathe, actually commit to 1 full minute – 60 seconds – close your eyes. Put your right hand on your heart and your left hand on your belly and just breathe. What you may notice as you begin breathing, the longer you sit in quiet breathing, the longer your breaths will get, the deeper they will go. Now how do you feel? Probably slightly light headed, but also refreshed, renewed, your oxygen replenished!
How do you know if you have a Chakra Imbalance? The short and sweet of it, you do not feel well or you physically have something going on causing you discomfort. This is a another great article of warning signs that your chakra’s are out of balance.
Energy truly is amazing one that I am grateful I began exploring more and as of 2020 am now Reiki II Certified!
I am greatly appreciative of an opportunity that has been presented to us this year, that is getting truly in touch within. One way I love doing that is through Oracle cards. I really like Colette Baron Reid’s online oracle cards!
My messages today, feel very much inline ❤ I am grateful for these reminders with appreciation and gratitude for life and all within XO. This morning I enjoyed waking before my alarm, having time to be. Oiled myself up with Magnolia, Neroli and Rose and put Peppermint, Wild Orange and Rosemary in the diffuser – this combination instantly wakes up my brain! My morning routine is one that is still a work in progress, but I am reminded of how peaceful my day starts when the night before I do my evening routine AND the next morning also my morning ME routine. Express myself in my Daily Greatness Journal, enjoy deep breathing, pull out my journal if I need to allow my heart to flow.
GO THE DISTANCE
Essential meanings: Endurance; strength; the long haul.
The Oracle’s Message: To bring your dream to life, you must think long-term and pay no attention to the fluctuations in the current of your experience. Joy and disappointment commingle with opportunities, so there is no need to fear the occasional obstacle. Life is not a sprint. This card is a reminder that you have endurance, strength, and fortitude to carry you all the way, so remain true to yourself. Your authenticity alone will keep you in alignment with the energy of miracles. What is yours will never be withheld from you. Remember that!
Relationship message: You either are in or are calling in a harmonious relationship that can stand the test of time. For better or worse, as you ride the ups and downs—and even strain, break yourself, and are remade in new growth—you are being redeemed by the power of regeneration. Harmony does not mean there will never be a wrong note played but that the relationship is marked by endurance and dedication to overall unity. A new song can be written, an instrument can be tuned, and the symphony of love will play on. Listen with your heart. Isn’t it magnificent?
Prosperity message: Your most precious dreams are not about instant gratification but enduring prosperity. This is a time to think long-term and engage in continued action. You will experience building momentum as you manage the ebb and flow in slow and steady movement forward. Your efforts, concepts, ideas and hard work now can lead to greater riches than you can imagine. Stoke the fire so that an uninterrupted stream of energy is available to support you in all the phases of manifestation. Be assured that you are in the right place right now.
MENDING
Essential meanings: Forgiveness; making amends; healing after arguments.
Protection message: Heartbreak is a strange healer of souls. Our grief strips away our masks and loosens our tight hold on our separateness, where we view ourselves as “I” and the world as “it.” Loss allows us to see ourselves as part of a larger scheme, opening us up to sympathy, empathy, and dependence on the world in the moment when we can’t hold ourselves together. And it leads us to become one with the greater whole again. Pain and suffering is part of life, and none of us will be immune to it. Can you see this loss, this pain, this dissonance, as a way back to Source? Let your sorrow break your heart wide open. You will never be left behind. You are loved—now more than ever—by Spirit, who does not want you to feel alone. One day you will look back and know this truth.
OBSERVER
Essential meanings: Perspective; objectivity; neutral observation from a distance.
The Oracle’s Message: Most of us see the world through a personal lens. We closely identify with our feelings and experiences—so much so that we come to believe that these are the only reality. There are times when we need distance in order to gain perspective and understand our circumstances from a more neutral vantage point. Now is one of those times in your life. This is a perfect moment for you to begin to do some exploring. Instead of only considering yourself, consider what you need to understand about the conditions, people, culture, and environment you’re engaged with now. You’ll be so happy you did. Illumination is the miracle you seek and will indeed find.
Relationship message: Sometimes you just can’t see the forest for the trees in your way. Feelings can get all jumbled up, and often you hear one thing when a person says another. It can be like hearing an echo of an unresolved past experience overdubbed onto your conversation. Take time out before you react. It’s likely the other person has no idea how their words have affected you. Rather than just reacting, take a few steps back and lend understanding to the situation. Have faith in your connection and trust that you can come together. Take to higher ground now and become curious about what you observe in yourself, in others, and in the landscape. You will see things much improved sooner than you know.
Prosperity message: It is an advantageous time for you to get some distance from what you’re doing and see your work and your projects from a different perspective. The trick is to connect to the essence of your goals and aspirations and let the form and timing be dictated by Spirit. You may be too personally attached to an outcome and can’t see the miracle because it’s not turning out exactly as you planned. Trust Spirit. The perfect version of your abundance is right in front of you. Remain neutral and curious, and watch the miracle unfold.

Sometimes rough waters lead to peaceful paddles – Pamela Zmija
If you are looking to create your own morning and evening routine, I highly recommend the DailyGreatness Planner. As a woman, wife, mom, and business lady this allows me to brain dump, set intentions for my day (week/month/year) and also remember all the amazing things in our life! Check out my link to SAVE 10%!!!
I enjoy when I can connect with another on an energetic level. This is how I felt when I first heard Tamara Arnold speak. In truth, real life, hurt and love. A practice we should all become more aware and comfortable with. As I was going through my emails, I noticed one that I had missed. It was to take a quiz… having already experienced a few intuition pulls today I jumped in! ✌
The results of Tamara’s quiz speak for themselves. It’s me! For sure. Check it out below!
You’re an
ELEMENTAL REBEL UNICORN
Which means you’re deeply connected to the Earth and everything that inhabits it, innately knowing what is needed.
You can feel the trees, the plants, the animals, and Mama Earth herself, which allows you to give voice to these often overlooked beings.
Able to subconsciously tap into and understand nature, this superpower means that you intrinsically understand what is needed to support growth and sustenance.
People often want to be around you, thanks to your ability to energise and fertilize everything around you, creating an entirely different level of engagement. You’re able to magically seed ideas, and patiently nurture them as they come to life.
Often drawn to environmental studies, geology, crystals or working with oils and plant medicine — you’ll feel most aligned when you’re working to shift the vibration of the earth in a gentle, yet steady way.
You’re a much-needed voice for those that humanity has tuned out, destined to help bring us back to a more grounded consciousness. You intrinsically know that these things take time and care, and you’re ready to support this mission.

When you’re out of alignment
You might end up feeling paralysed by all that is happening to our Earth.
As someone so connected to it, you’re able to walk into a space, with or without people present, and know that it’s hurting. You feel the devastation that plagues the planet (which is exactly why you’re the best person to advocate for it!)
The challenge for you is to learn to fertilise, water and sustain yourself first so that you’re better equipped to speak up for Gaia.
