There’s something timeless about Sandalwood. Smooth, grounding, and quietly powerful, it invites you to step into your own center with calm confidence. It doesn’t rush. It doesn’t force. It simply holds space for you to lead from your truth.

In the Rainbow Healing System, Sandalwood connects beautifully with the Leadership Glyph — the frequency of EXPANDING.

Leadership here is not about control. It’s about radiance. Just like Sandalwood’s steady fragrance expands gently into the room, true leadership expands from within you… golden white light flowing outward, inspiring others by example.

When you anoint yourself with Sandalwood:

Sandalwood whispers: Leadership begins in stillness. Expansion happens naturally when you embody your authentic self.

“Sandalwood is an absolutely beautiful oil because of the way it makes you feel, and I just can’t even imagine being without it. Just start experimenting. Try one oil and see how it feels; if you don’t like it, try another one. You might find 5, 10, 15 oils that you like on your skin.” 
– Mary Young 

Ever tried to change everything at once, only to lose momentum a week later? A single, enjoyable shift—like a quiet morning pause or a few minutes of Qigong—can make it easier to notice what fits your life. Explore a gentler way to build a routine that feels like your own, one small change at a time.

When the air feels stale or outdoor haze lingers, a fresh-smelling home can feel especially inviting. Aromatic oils offer a simple way to bring a crisp, botanical scent into your space, whether you diffuse them at home or use them as part of your daily routine. Explore the plant aromas behind a refreshing blend and discover a few ways to enjoy them.

Pine’s aroma is reminiscent of the Japanese tradition of forest bathing and provides a refreshing breathing experience and encourages a moment of joy.

Pine essential oil has a long history of use in traditional wellness practices, particularly for supporting the respiratory system. Its naturally occurring constituents like alpha-pinene and limonene are known for their cleansing and soothing properties.

What’s unique about Pine? While many oils support the upper and mid-respiratory system, Pine is believed to offer support all the way down to the lower parts of the lungs, supporting deeper breathing. This isn’t just anecdotal: Pine essential oil and its components have been the focus of emerging scientific interest. (Search for yourself!)

Add Pine to your diffuser or use it topically on your chest. Breathe in that refreshing aroma and let it take your breath to places it may not usually go.  What does that feel like to you?

What will YOU conquer with Valor in your life?

The D. Gary Young blog tells Gary’s story of why he created Valor blend: 

“I made this oil blend specifically based on electrical frequency, because our body is made up of energy, and we have different frequencies.

Why did I create this formula? The essential oils in Valor were used by the Roman soldiers before battle to promote courage during a time of physical and emotional challenges. All of us go through physical and emotional challenges. I made this blend in 1990 because at that time I was having a confrontation with the IRS, and I had to go to Seattle for the hearing. I was representing myself in court because I couldn’t afford an attorney. I was really scared. I’d never been in a court with the IRS before; this was a first experience.

I made Valor the night before, poured it in the tub, and then bathed in it. At that time I was living in Spokane where I had a little farm I was starting. I drove to Seattle, stayed in a motel, got up, went into the hearing that morning and presented my case. They made me feel like I was less than dirt. But I stood my ground and argued my points, and then I left. Two weeks later I got a certified letter in the mail announcing to me: Mr. Young, we’ve heard your case, we’ve reviewed it, we have accepted your presentation, and we have dropped our issues against you. So I won on all 42 counts. That was a big accomplishment for me. So, Valor became very, very dear to me and has been a very powerful oil blend ever since.”

Doing the hard things, standing your ground and speaking your truth, to me that is the true meaning of Valor.  Would you agree?

Did you know that the skin around your eyes can be 10x thinner than the skin on the rest of your face?

The skin around the eyes is thinner and has less oil glands than the skin on the rest of the body. This makes it more prone to dryness, droopiness, fine lines and wrinkles. It makes it the very first place to show fine lines, puffiness, or dark circles.

That’s why a regular face cream just doesn’t cut it. The eye area needs something gentler, more concentrated, and designed to hydrate and protect without overloading.

A good eye cream can:

 Your eyes do a lot for you & deserve their own special care.

SULFURZYME is the Young Living supplement that consists of organic sulfur, which is present in every cell of the body, along with supportive elements to enhance the absorption and action of the main ingredient, MSM. 

Here in Indonesia, it’s called JOINT ESSENTIALS, while in Singapore it goes by SULFURZYME and in Malaysia it’s called SUL4ZYME.  But they are “essentially” all the regionally adapted versions of the same well-loved Young Living supplement.

In the body, typically the levels of organic sulfur are depleted in those with chronic ailments and must be supplemented. 

Sulfurzyme can also support the cell membranes in becoming more permeable so the nutrients can be more readily absorbed, and the toxins can be eliminated.  It is also an excellent choice for healthy skin and to combat hair fall.  

Did we mention that organic sulfur is present in every cell of the body?  So, every cell of the body can be nourished and nurtured by providing your body with adequate levels of organic sulfur found in this beneficial supplement.  Skin, hair, nails, muscles and joints… the list of benefits goes on and on!

Whether you choose Sulfurzyme, Sulf4zyme, and Joint Essentials, the name depends on where you live, you’ll be giving your body what every cell craves.

What’s so fabulous about Fennel?  

This fabulous essential oil is steam distilled from the crushed seeds of the fennel plant, a leafy herb native to regions of southern Europe and Asia Minor.  Fennel has also long since naturalized in locations around the world. Many even grow it in the garden at home!

Fennel has a rich aroma reminiscent of anise, which gives Fennel essential oil its licorice-like scent. Although the seeds and oil are used in flavoring, Fennel’s complex aroma has also made it popular in soaps, candles, and perfumes.

There are many uses for Fennel, but this essential oil is very popular for aromatic applications, with a sweet, spicy aroma that has a long history of encouraging grounding feelings.  This may be why it’s such an important part of the Dragon Time blend.

There is no shortage of advice.

Sometimes there is so much noise around us that we forget to check in with the one person who actually has to live with the decision:

Ourselves. 

Move forward with trust in our inner guidance rather than being directed entirely by the noise outside.

That doesn't mean ignoring the people around us.

It means creating enough quiet to notice what is happening within us, too.

So before your next decision, pause. Take a breath.

Ask yourself:

You may not have the whole answer.

You may not even know where the path leads.

But sometimes the next step becomes clearer when we stop asking everyone else where to go.

A few quiet breaths with a scent you associate with grounding or inspiration can become a simple ritual for coming back to yourself. Sacred Mountain would be my immediate choice.  You may also choose Present Time, Grounding, or Inspiration.

Essential oil writing prompt that Gary swore by? SACRED MOUNTAIN.

D. Gary Young said…

“Let’s start with an oil blend named Sacred Mountain. As you smell the aroma, write down the first thought that comes to mind. Was it the last time you were camping with your family? The last time you were mowing the lawn? The last time you were chopping wood? Whatever thought comes first to your mind, write it down.”

“Pay attention to what feeling that thought produces and follow up with writing the feeling— just a very short description of what that thought triggers as it comes to your mind. Through that you can continue at home doing your own self-evaluation, your own analysis, your own discovery to find out what is missing and what you’ve been doing wrong.” (See: dgaryyoung.com/blog )

️It’s a beautiful synchronicity that SACRED MOUNTAIN is also the oil blend Frances begins with EVERY MORNING during the Rainbow Qigong practice. This is the essential oil that anchors the frequency of the Sacred Space in the Rainbow Healing System.

You can personally support your journey of ALIGNMENT every day through Journaling. Start with your Morning Alignment Practice.

The Refinement List is a transformational tool which involves distilling what we choose to allow and will not allow into our life.

Notice the word: Choose.

There is a huge difference between using the word "choose" vs the word "want."

The word want implies a lack and is based on wishful thinking. When we make a choice to do something, we are actually actively working towards making that happen.

What if you spent some time today with Sacred Mountain, creating your Sacred Space, and aligning your thoughts with what you choose to have in your life. What might you discover about the things which bring you more alignment, more harmony and balance?
