1. The Detox Process: Death and Rebirth
=========================================

Spring represents rebirth, and it is wonderful to experience
in the areas of the world that have pronounced seasonal changes.

The earth comes out of its cold, contracted darkness, and
begins to bloom with color, warmth, and sunshine.

It is a necessary transition according to the Law of Nature.

It demonstrates the Cycle of Life.

That same Law and Cycle apply to our physical body.

Death and rebirth are going on all the time as cells are dying
and new ones are being regenerated.

Our state of health very much depends on how well our natural
detoxification process occurs in the body.

We can help this process along by assisting our body to detoxify.

One of the best ways to assist that process is by helping the
organs of detoxification.

The organs of detoxification in our body are:

--lungs

--skin

--colon

--kidneys

--lymphatic system

Here are some ways we can assist the natural detoxification
process that takes place in our body:

--Take good deep breaths when you think about it

--Steam to help the skin sweat

--Skin brushing to exfoliate the dead cells

--Movement to mobilize the lymph that helps to move toxins out
of the body

--Healthy liquids to keep the kidneys filtering

--Colon cleansing - either nutritional such as in foods and
products OR mechanical cleansing such as in colonics or enemas

2. Home Made Scented Easter Eggs - For Fun!
============================================

Here's a fun project to do with the kids or grand kids or just
with yourself!

You can make homemade Easter Eggs that are sprinkled with your
essential oils. These are fun and healthy to play with and make
a great decoration!

Instructions:

--Mix 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup salt, 2 tablespoons cream of
tarter, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1 cup water in a medium-sized pot
until well blended.

--Cook the mixture in the pot over medium-low heat until it forms
a thick dough that is no longer sticky (approximately 5 minutes).
Stir this continuously,

You can tell it is done when it no longer sticks to the sides of
the pan, but forms a clump of dough in the middle of the pan.
(*Helpful hint: the dough will become fairly hard to stir before
it gets done, so an extra set of hands to help stir may be
useful.)

--Remove the dough from the pan and place on waxed-paper.
Allow to cool for about 5 minutes.

--Divide the dough into four equal pieces.

--For each of the four pieces of dough, add approximately
10 drops of different colored food coloring, and knead until the
color is well blended into the dough.

--Add approximately 8-10 drops of different essential oils
or blends to each of the four pieces of dough and knead for about
60 seconds. If you find the scent of the dough is not strong
enough, add a few more drops of the essential oil or blend.

(*Helpful hint: to make sure both the food coloring and the
essential oil or blend stay in the dough and don't drip off,
create a well in the top of the piece of dough with your finger,
drop the coloring or oil in the well, fold the dough so it closes
over the well opening, then continue to knead the dough as
normal.)

--Form these into egg shaped balls

--Store each piece of dough in a ziplock bag, or other air-tight
container

--Sit them on some Easter grass on Easter Sunday - so they look
and smell pretty!


================================
3. Natural Dyes for Easter Eggs
================================

If you eat the hard boiled eggs that you decorate
then you certainly want to color them with only natural
ingredients.

Here are some ideas to color your eggs naturally:

--Red/Pink: Fresh beets, canned cherries or frozen, crushed
cranberries (not cranberry sauce or jelly)

--Orange: yellow onion skins

--Light Yellow: lemon peels, orange peels or ground cumin

--Golden yellow: Ground Tumeric

--Light green: Spinach

--Blue: Red cabbage leaves or blueberries (crushed)

Pre-boil red cabbage leaves for 30 minutes.

--Purple: Grape juice (Welches)


================================================
4. Essential Oil Tip: Regeneration of Tissue
================================================

Myrrh is one of the most noted essential oils for tissue
regeneration.

It is also highly anti-viral and anti-infectious.

Here is a video that I did about a year ago on how
to use myrrh on sore cracked lips.

It's a little embarrassing, but hey - it gets the point across!

5. Success Tip: Rig Veda

7. HSL's Joke or Cute Quote of the Week
=========================================

A friend was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the
preacher was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands.
He grabbed my friend by the hand and pulled him aside.

The Pastor said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!"

My friend replied, "I'm already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor."

Pastor questioned, "How come I don't see you except at Christmas
and Easter?"

He whispered back, "I'm in the secret service."
