Hello Readers,

The Personality Profiles of the body types of friends and loved ones are an excellent tool for improving how we communicate and relate - through understanding triggers and control.

Feeling Unresolved about things? Already pressuring yourself about what to accomplish or do "better" next year? Roots essential oil can be used for transmuting Unresolved into Mastered. This is a new emotion recently added to the current edition of the blue book.

Are you physically strong with an outgoing, charismatic personality? Are you highly competitive, and motivated by winning? Then you might be an Adrenal body type.

As always, I hope and trust that these newsletters help you enjoy a happier, healthier life- and Happy Holidays!


Health and Happiness,
Dr. Carolyn Mein

The Holidays can be emotionally intense – more fun, more time with loved ones, more celebration. They can also be busy, stressful, and hectic. The combination of stress, and time with friends and family, can also bring things to the surface that provoke emotional reactions and outbursts.

The key to success in relationships is understanding each other better. Conflicts are triggered more easily when we assume and expect that those around us think the way we do – or when we expect that they should. The simple truth of the matter is that we don’t think alike, have the same priorities, or communicate in the same ways.

Fortunately there is a simple way to see yourself more objectively, as well as understand others better.


Know Thyself

Knowing yourself is a first and crucial step in successful relationships. The 25 Body Type System provides a valuable tool for taking an objective look at yourself, and perhaps gaining insights into how others may view you, or how you may come across to others. In October’s Newsletter I discussed the Personality Profile that appears in the Profile booklet for each of the 25 body types.

When people first discover their body type, the Personality Profile is usually the biggest surprise, because it is so specific and so accurate. It was also a surprise to me – an unexpected discovery as I researched the nutritional differences between the body types, and noticed the clear and obvious personality similarities among those sharing a body type. In fact, you can sometimes determine someone’s body type from their personality more readily than from their body shape or other factors.

The Personality Profile describes your passion, your motivation, and your strengths and challenges. Knowing your own challenges shows you where your triggers are. Knowing your own triggers puts you in control, rather than being triggered by what’s going on with someone else.


Understanding Others

When you know the body types of those closest to you, you can read their Personality Profiles (in their Profile paperback or ebook, or read all 25 in Different Bodies, Different Diets – either the Men’s or Women’s Edition, Personality profiles are the same for men and women).

When you have a sense of who a person is, and observe them one on one and in a group setting, look for signs of control.

People use control to feel safe. That’s the purpose of the ego, to keep you safe by being in charge. People feel that if they can control a situation, they can control the outcome. Control generally is exerted in one of 3 forms – by controlling others, controlling the environment, or controlling themselves. Control is fear based. The other side of Control is Balance – involving give and take – which is love based.

The body types with Control as a Core Emotional Issue are Balanced, Brain, Nervous System, Pineal and Stomach. Although all body types use control in one form or another, you will experience it more prominently with these body types – you would generally perceive them as being “controlling” in some way.

People having a Brain body type have a fear of being wrong, and use control to feel safe. Can you think of someone that often conveys, “I was right?” in a way that comes across as “I told you so?” They may be a Brain body type – they constantly evaluate the accuracy of their information and predictions, but it’s much more about them being pleased with themselves rather than gloating that you were wrong. When you don’t know your own triggers, this could generate a reaction from you.

Pineal body types control by talking all the time – controlling the conversation. They use conversation to transmit their expectations in hopes others will fall into line with their ideas and wishes, and to control the topics.

When you know the Personality Profiles of those around you, and you’re aware of how they operate, then you can avoid getting caught up in the drama. This requires first understanding and working with your own triggers so that you aren’t as reactive to others.


Relating to Each Other

So how does all of this help us relate to each other better?

The normal tendency is to think, "Everyone thinks the way I think, and if not, if I just explain it to them well enough, they will get it and see it my way." Unfortunately, it does not work that way.

Not everyone is motivated by the same thing and we have different strengths and challenges. Reading the Personality Profile of another person’s body type will go a long way in your understanding who they are and what motivates them, as well as their strengths and challenges.

When you feel impatient, frustrated or annoyed with a situation, first look at why you are having that reaction based upon your own Personality Profile. When we can learn to see our differences as strengths, and appreciate how our differences can complement each other, then we have improved our relationships.

Determining your body type is easy using my online body type test:

Moving from one year into the next often brings up emotions related to what we didn’t manage to complete, or what we want to accomplish or improve as a New Year’s Resolution. The Holidays can be particularly effective at bringing to the surface issues or emotions that are unresolved in our relationships as well.

Do you tend to harbor the feeling that some issues keep coming back around, leaving you feeling Unresolved in those areas? A sense of unresolved things hanging over your head can create underlying stress, which can trigger other self-defeating emotions.

Roots Essential Oil Blend can help to unseat this emotion and transmute it into a feeling of Mastered.

Unresolved things keep coming back until Mastered. Mastery means knowing how to deal with these situations. Roots Essential Oil holds the frequency of mastery, providing you with an anchor point, and helps you to navigate through any unresolved situation.

The Way Out is “how do you get there”. It may be an affirmation or a direction, which in this case is Guided Manifestation. This is about focusing your energy. Manifestation is directed, and Guided means it’s not just random. Instead of simply being affected by Unresolved, you can direct it through Guided Manifestation using the oil as a focus for your meditation, spiritual guidance, or other centering practice, to be able to master the situation. The oil holds the frequency that allows you to get there.

Roots Essential Oil Blend by Young Living combines the gentle, grounding notes of Sacred Frankincense and Myrrh, the sweet soothing scents of Angelica and Cistus, and the rich, earthy aroma of Idaho Grand Fir. These enhance a feeling of nourishment, wisdom and stability as you focus on strengthening your own personal foundation. Use during meditation, yoga or other spiritual exercises to feel centered and remember your inner strength.

This emotion is a new addition for the 2023 Edition of “Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils”, which is now available on my website, Amazon, and in Kindle format. Or if you have the 2020 Edition, the 2023 Addendum will provide you with all the newly added emotions and oils.
