In our fast-paced, hyperconnected world, it's easy to overlook the simple, yet profound, power of silence, stillness, and spaciousness. These elements have been revered throughout human history as gateways to healing and rejuvenation. Let's take a little journey to explore why these practices are more vital today than ever before.

The Magic of Silence

There's an old saying that silence is golden. In many ancient cultures, silence was seen as a sacred space where wisdom could emerge and healing could begin. When we allow ourselves to step away from the noise, both external and internal, we create a fertile ground for transformation. Whether it's sitting quietly in meditation, taking a silent walk in nature, or simply savoring a moment of stillness, silence can be deeply healing.

The Gift of Stillness

Stillness is about more than just being physically unmoving; it's about entering a state of peace and allowing your mind and spirit to rest. Think of it as pressing pause on the constant chatter of life. When we embrace stillness, we give ourselves permission to connect with our innermost thoughts and feelings. It’s in these moments that creativity and solutions surface naturally, allowing for a deeper understanding of ourselves and our journey.

Creating Spaciousness

Spaciousness isn't just a physical concept; it's about cultivating room in our lives and minds for growth and new experiences. By decluttering our thoughts and environments, we make space for what's truly important. This practice can support mental clarity, reduce stress, and foster a sense of freedom and possibility. Consider trying a digital detox or clearing out a closet as a physical representation of creating space.


From ancient monasteries to indigenous healing practices, cultures across the globe have long understood the healing potential of these practices. Monks found enlightenment in quiet reflection, while many indigenous tribes used stillness and spaciousness as part of their ceremonies and healing rituals. These timeless traditions remind us that the answers we seek often lie in the spaces between.

Now It's Your Turn to Embrace Silence, Stillness, and Spaciousness

Start by integrating small moments of silence, stillness, and spaciousness into your daily routine. Perhaps a few moments of quiet with your morning coffee, a lunchtime walk without your phone, or an evening spent journaling your thoughts in a calm, uncluttered space.

To support your journey, consider using essential oils known for their calming properties. Young Living's range of oils can enhance your practice, creating a soothing atmosphere that promotes deep relaxation and focus. Imagine a few drops of Lavender or Frankincense to enrich your moments of stillness.

Remember, true healing begins when we create the space to listen—to our bodies, our hearts, and the whispers of the world around us. 

I’d love to hear how you plan to incorporate these practices into your life! Share your thoughts in the comments or reach out directly. Together, let's create a community that values the quiet moments.

With love and light,

Renee

How I started to Live Differently

 
I was at a crossroad in my life when I learned to Live Differently.

It was several years ago that I was an investment advisor for a large regional bank.  I loved my position, my clients, the work. I was sure I was going to retire from this position.  Then one day the bank changed it's business model, didn't need as many investment advisors and my position was cut.  I was let go!

I did not have a plan B and felt like I was stuck in the muck.  What was I going to do now?  I knew that I didn't want to stay in the financial industry.  I didn't want to have my friends, income and career taken from me again.  I wanted to Live Differently.

For many years I was interested in natural products and how nature can help to support my bodily systems.  I completed a master herbalist certificate. I completed several master Reiki certificates and I knew that this was a direction I wanted to go in.

That's when I discover the essential oils of Young Living and their Seed to Seal promise.  Knowing about herbs and natural products I was thrilled to finally find a company that got it!  The products are only as good as the way the plants are grown, treated and processed to get the best results.  That is what Young Living does.  I also was very impressed with the way they combine essential oils into a wide variety of products for home, personal care, immune system, and event pets!  I had never discovered a company that does all of this and give you the opportunity to create an income simply by sharing the products.  I was hooked!

But that just started my journey to Live Differently.  I knew I wanted to get my Reiki practice started and there were so many internal stories I was telling myself about why this was not going to work!  I felt defeated until my good friend handed me the Aroma Freedom Technique book and asked me to join the certification class.  This technique blew me out of the water!  It helped me to turn around my internal narrative and self doubt I had to changing the way I saw myself and the world around me.  It showed me a way to use the essential oils I loved to improve my overall mental state.

So I was on my way.  Still I felt like I didn't have enough traction to really make a difference and that is when I found Oola.
Finding balance in an unbalanced world is exactly how I felt and that is what the Oola book talked about.  It showed me a simple framework to change the lifestyle I had to the life I really wanted to live.  It also is a whole community of like minded people that want to continually improve themselves and the world they live in. Now I had all the pieces that I needed to Live Differently.   

The best part is I get to share this with everyone who wants to Live Differently.
