Four Secrets to Bring More Joy
Into Your Life
By Francoise Rapp
 1.
How Scents Can Encourage a Good Mood
Essential oils are one of the most versatile ways to create the
life and mood you truly desire. Whether you use them in diffusion,
massage, inhalation (even with just a few drops in the palms
of your hands), or bath, essential oils will help enhance happiness
and amusement.
Here's a short list of the best
essential oils that will surely bring you a burst of joy! Blend
them one with one another (no more than three in a blend), experiment,
and enjoy them fully.
 Orange: This is the perfect "anti-gloom"
essential oil! It brings a sense of joy, happiness, and playfulness.
Mandarin: Mandarin reminds you of the simple fun of our
childhood. It brings laughter, humor, and a child-like energy.
Lemon: Lemon exchanges a grouchy mood for a more humorous
one. It enhances energy, happiness, and amusement.
Grapefruit: Grapefruit helps you see and create
more fun in your everyday life. It helps you let go, revive,
and laugh!
Lime: Lime turns your negative perspective into a positive
one while also bringing some humor to any situation. It vivifies,
invigorates, and enhances optimism.

2. Color Therapy: Change Your
Dress Code!
How would you feel in a world
that showed only shades of black and white? At any given moment,
colors are influencing your life, moods, and emotions. Colors
also affect your overall health and well-being-even subconsciously
we wear colors that represent our mood of the day. Each color
possesses a specific "vibration" or frequency that
corresponds to our chakra system. The colors we wear play with
our moods, thus attracting what we put out. Here are some examples: |
|
Red:
Red is hot. It's a strong color that conjures up a range of seemingly
conflicting emotions, from passionate love to violence and warfare.
Red is cupid and the devil. A stimulant, red is the hottest of
the warm colors. Studies show that red can have a physical effect,
increasing the rate of respiration and raising blood pressure.
Use red to grab attention and to get people to take action. Red
is power, hence the red carpet for celebrities and VIPs. Use
red when you don't want to sink into the background.
Orange:
Orange is vibrant. It's a combination of red and yellow so it
shares some common attributes with those colors. As a warm color,
it stimulates the emotions and even the appetite. It denotes
energy, warmth, and the sun. But orange has a bit less intensity
or aggression than red, calmed by the cheerfulness of yellow.
Yellow:
Yellow is sunshine. It is a warm color that, like red, has conflicting
symbolism. On the one hand it denotes happiness and joy, but
on the other hand it's the color of cowardice and deceit. It
is the color to lifts spirits and project optimism. The "yellowest"
essential oils are lemon and grapefruit. Roman Chamomile has
a pinch of yellow.
3. Selective Reading
