Always wanted to know exactly what carrier oils are? What kind of oils, which are also called as base oils, are being used to dilute another type of oil that is called the essential oil? Why it is important to mix carrier oils with essential oils? And if done wrong the affects it could have on one's health! Did you know Carrier oils also require a specific method of growing since they have to be as pure as possible? You have to make sure that the carrier oils that you use are organically grown-not artificially grown wherein chemicals have already been applied-and cold pressed. Because carrier oils are being mixed with essential oils for aromatherapy (which of course involves the human skin) so they are going to be absorbed by the human body. Therefore, it is important that the oils you use are organic and pure so that there will not be any unwanted substances that will be absorbed by the skin along with these oils.

Most people understand that they are in control of what and how they eat. Unfortunately, there can be a daily disconnect regarding one's body, mind, and mouth, very often lasting for years. In this guide, author Margaret Marshall uses insights and lessons from her clients' lives, along with her own experiences, to address the challenges we often face controlling our weight. She asks you to consider the unpleasant and sometimes life-threatening circumstances we accept in our lives instead of taking responsibility for our well-being. Among the real stories she shares in Body, Mind, and Mouth is the story of a New York City police officer who no longer fits into his bulletproof vest. He closes it tightly on his right side leaving a gap on his left side, knowing to face right if he is ever in a shoot-out. Also included is the story of a working mother and her son, who became increasingly heavier due to her busy life and the ease of obtaining fast food. These and other stories illustrate how our minds affect our mouths, how our mouths affect our bodies, and how a shift in thought can benefit our health and wellness.

"Margaret Marshall uses humor and real stories to demonstrate her vast knowledge of nutrition and psychology in the weight-loss field. She brings to the book the same enthusiasm and knowledge she does in her speaking. Her message is clear, well written, and motivating. Imagine a book that is easy to read and packed with good information. Now that's a real deal." --Dr. Harris R. Cohen, author of Lessons Learned: How to Negotiate the Life You Want to Live

Learn how adjusting your thoughts can change your health—from the “mother of mindfulness” and first female tenured professor of psychology at Harvard.

Can changing your thoughts improve your health? We tend to live our lives as though our ailments—our stiff knees or frayed nerves or diminished eyesight—can change only in one direction: for the worse. Award-winning social psychologist Ellen J. Langer’s life’s work proves the fault in this negative outlook as well as the healing power of its alternative: mindfulness—the process of active noticing where we are not bound by past experience or conventional wisdom.

In The Mindful Body, Dr. Langer unpacks her assumption-busting findings and outlines her bold new theory of mind-body unity, along the way clearly demonstrating how our thoughts and perspectives have the potential to profoundly shape our well-being. Whether it is hotel chambermaids who lost weight when they simply came to see that their work constituted exercise, or patients whose wounds healed faster in rooms with accelerated clocks, she shows how influential our thoughts are to the state of our bodies. Her work has likewise proven that discouraging health news can have negative effects. Learning you are prediabetic, for example—even if your blood sugar reading is only a fraction away from “normal”—may actually play a part in the development of the disease.

A paradigm-shifting book by one of the great psychologists of the twenty-first century, The Mindful Body returns the control over our bodies back to us and reveals that a true understanding of health begins with our minds.

Author's Corner My name is Jennifer V. Spersrud and I am 42 years old. I have celiac disease. That might sound awful to you, but not for me My regional gluten-free life style books will be a wonderful resource to inform you of gluten-free supermarkets to gluten-free bakeries in your entire region. Having celiac disease is more than just an allergy to gluten, but it is a lifestyle change. In these books I have included points to help make life easier for those people living with gluten allergies; for example, eating out at restaurants. You need to be proactive in dealing with this situation. For example, when eating out at restaurants, be sure to ask the right questions: 1.Do you have a gluten-free menu? If the answer is no, I myself would not eat there. Taking a chance of receiving gluten is not worth it to me. 2.Does the kitchen chef have a section on the grill/stove for gluten-free items? This is a crucial question because if it is at all possible that gluten can reach the clean area of the grill, you should not risk ingesting it. But as I said you need to ask the specific questions to get the right answers. 3.Does the kitchen staff prepare meals in stainless pots and pans with stainless cooking tools? This is important because plastic utensils absorb the wheat and other gluten-containing elements. These are just a few questions that can help you learn to cope with eating out, and continuing your normal life. I say normal because having a gluten-allergy is just another part of your life and that should not hold you back from any part of your previous lifestyle. My resource books cover a lot of knowledge on gluten-free lifestyle; let's do this together Sincerely, Jennifer
