“ 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
