“ Never underestimate the valuable and important difference you make in every life you touch. For the impact you make today has a powerful rippling effect on every tomorrow.”— Anonymous
Each of us has our plate filled with all the things we need to do each day. We are often wrapped up in how“ we don’ t have time” or“ we’ re too busy.” We may wonder if we are truly able to make a positive impact on another’ s life when we have such busy schedules. There are many times when we are too busy and don’ t have time to share, but we shouldn’ t hesitate to use the time we do have to make an impact in the lives of others. So what can we do when we only have a few minutes to serve those around us? Sharing the AromaTouch ® Hand Technique is a powerful act of service that doesn’ t require much time. We have been touched with how many of you have already taken this to heart and have been constantly using the AromaTouch Technique to make a positive impact on those around you. We are honored to share your stories and see the impact you have made on“ every tomorrow.”
Lifting the Burdens
When I made it home last night, I found my sweet hubby fully dressed, tucked tightly under our comforter. Taking the lion’ s share of the weight at home while I build our business has taken a toll on him. His focus has been on making sure our five little ones are well cared for and, as a result, has neglected what his body needs. At the time, I didn’ t know exactly what was wrong, so I decided to support his entire body using our tried and true AromaTouch Technique. I managed to convince him to roll out of bed and onto my massage table. Forty minutes later, he was completely relaxed and sleeping deeply. I love that the AromaTouch Technique oils are the catchall net that help support the body while also relaxing and balancing it. This morning my hubby was up and out of bed before me so I’ m guessing he is feeling much better!— Alicia Simon
The Power of Touch
The power of touch is profound. It soothes, nourishes, and heals; it is a fundamental part of our life. Today I went to visit my 102-year-old grandma who— unless she bounces back like she has for years— is most likely transitioning into the final days of her life here on earth and on to her everlasting life up in heaven. She is still as sweet as ever, but you could tell this time was a little different. She’ s a little less energetic and there are other signs, but I went with the intent to give her an AromaTouch Hand Technique along with a foot massage with my essential oils. This lady has done so much for me, so this was a final act of service that I could give her: a caring touch to let her know that she means the world to me. She didn’ t say much, but would exclaim,‘ Oh, you don’ t know how good that feels!’ over and over. I know the oils are doing something for her, but the touch— that’ s what it was all about today. Remember the power of touch!— Becca Dallain
Bonding Experience
My 9-year-old son had a really hard day on Monday. I won’ t go into detail, but there were other kids and hurt feelings. I told him he would feel better if he would let me give him an AromaTouch Hand Technique. He was skeptical, but he let me do it anyway. I got out my Wild Orange oil. It is such an uplifting scent. I took extra time and care in his AromaTouch Hand Technique to show him that I cared. By the time I was finished, he was much calmer. We cuddled some( I’ m so glad he still likes to cuddle!) I jokingly said,‘ Can you admit your mommy was right and that the oils helped a teeny tiny bit?’ He smiled a small smile and replied,‘ No, they helped a lot!’ I had forgotten what a bonding experience it is to apply essential oils to my kids!— Sarah DeGroff
