Dear Readers,

In people that I encounter, emotions have been running high all year, thanks to a pandemic and a divisive election. This month I describe how to transmute irritation into bliss with Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil, to help you get back to center.

The holidays are approaching, and this month I offer suggestions for thoughtful, healthful holiday gift ideas.

Lemon Essential Oil has a wide range of everyday uses. It also helps to clear a variety of emotions, including the fear of being left behind, which is a Core Emotional Issue for the Lymph body type.

Lymph body types are proportional, well-coordinated, and playful. This month I offer a new format for deciding whether you might be a Lymph.

As always, I hope and trust that these newsletters help you enjoy a happier, healthier life.


Health and Happiness,
Dr. Carolyn Mein

Lemon Essential Oil

Between the COVID-19 pandemic, shutdowns, and a combative election cycle, most people have experienced a particularly difficult year. In recent months I’ve offered tips for coping with the various emotions that have run wild during these times. Now that the emotional crescendo of the elections is winding down, what are you feeling, and how can you release those emotions that don’t feel good?

Bliss is the natural state of the soul. Irritation is one emotion that can keep us from experiencing Bliss. Irritation transmutes directly to Bliss using Cinnamon Bark essential oil. I have noticed a build up of irritation in people during the year, to a level that has affected personal relationships. Clearing irritation to allow a return to bliss not only helps you, but also puts you into a better place for improving or re-balancing personal relationships.

To clear Irritation with Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil, use the affirmation “Bliss runs through me”.

For complete instructions, print this worksheet so you can carry it with you to use whenever you feel irritation arise. Or, if you have Oils Lookup, enter "irritation" for the emotion on your smartphone.

For a demonstration of the clearing technique, see this video:

Women with Lymph body type range from very petite to average height, with an hourglass figure. They are well-proportioned with average or broad shoulders. Excessive weight gain is not a common issue, but initial weight gain is lower body – primarily upper thighs, buttocks and sometimes hips.	Men with Lymph body type range in height from average-to-tall, with medium bone structure. They are well-proportioned with an athletic, muscular build and markedly broad shoulders. Muscular definition is relatively easy to attain.

One of the core emotional issues for the Lymph body type is the fear of being left behind. This often unconscious fear can manifest as a need to be the best, to be a super or over achiever, to "keep up with the Jones's", or to over train. While these are admirable traits, taken to the extreme, they can be detrimental when the body can no longer keep up. The fear of being left behind is stored in the lymphatics of the body, the essential oil that holds the positive frequency - move - is lemon and the affirmation is "I am free to move forward."

Lemon is also used for other emotions, including frustration, sadness, emptiness, entitlement, life being unreliable, detachment, feeling stuck and jealousy. The underlying emotion of jealousy is the fear of being left behind.

Lemon has antiseptic-like properties and contains compounds that have been studied for their effects on immune function. It may serve as an insect repellent and may be beneficial for the skin. (Caution: citrus oils should not be applied to skin that will be exposed to direct sunlight or untraviolet light within 72 hours).
