More Information

I cannot say enough about this blend and in fact I am writing “something” (maybe a book, maybe a brochure, don’t know yet) about it that will accompany a special product/presentation of this synergy blend.

I have quite a few customers that are in recovery (alcohol, drugs, abuse, etc.) and they have talked to their counselors/therapists about my products. Via this networking I have been asked by quite a number of recovery facilities to make a blend that they could offer to their clients to help with the recovery process. I was going to call it Stress-Less. Well, for 6 or 8 months I tried to make Stress-Less. I had S-L #1, #2, #3, on and on up to #8. It just wasn't right, so on Sept. 10, I officially abandoned the “Stress-Less project”.

Once I had truly let it go, I went back to the cupboard and began pulling essential oils out onto the counter top. Now, mind you, this is a "purely" left-brain person that I am. At least I thought I was. The collection of eo's I'd pulled certainly surprised me. Anyway, I began to blend, and I ended up with this awesome synergy that I immediately named New Balance. It was what I had been trying to put together for many months, but I guess it’s the old “horse before the cart” story – maybe I gave it the wrong name right from the beginning. I can now see that if we can first come to Balance, we surely do not encounter as much Stress! Surely, this is much more what I had in mind when I began the thought process of the blend.

(I am going to try doing some things that will help me not to block my own intuitions. It seems I’m really wasting a lot of time!! Duh.)

Little did I know that this blend would help so many people -- beginning with the next day, Sept. 11, 2002. I sold soooo much of it throughout the Fall season. I have not yet approached the recovery facilities with it, as I need to work on how it could best be managed by the clients, i.e. lotion, smelling salts, straight synergy, bath product, solid perfume, perfume oil, etc. So far I am selling it as perfume oil, a synergy, and fizzing bath oil.

I have many new projects that my little brain is “processing”, but it all takes time and money. Please watch for the “special product” that will come to fruition to utilize this very special synergy blend. When it is introduced, I will list it first in the What’s New page. I anticipate it will be at least September before this will happen, but keep watching!

On September 12th I sent some of this synergy to my sister. She wrote a little sticky-note to me that said:

“I LOVE the New Balance blend – I want to smell it, slather it, bathe in it, sleep with it – don’t EVER loose this recipe! Thank you, thank you!”
