To have Gary Young's passion and energy use his life-changing blend Transformation!

Clary sage is also in Transformation. It contains natural phytoestrogens and is a support for menopausal women. If your estrogen is low or your testosterone is low, or both, you are naturally going to have a tendency to feel a little bit depressed, your energy level’s going to be low, and you’re going to feel fatigue early in the afternoon or evening. You’re not going to feel like you want to go out and make one more phone call or one more contact or teach one more meeting, so it will limit your success and the timing of your success. 

But if you have normal hormone function, you’re going to have more energy, be more energetic, and be more passionate with what you share with new people. Passionate people are like a magnet, they just attract people. The more passion you have and the more passion you share, the more people are going to be attracted to you.

Every one of us has been through experiences in life where we’ve been depressed, maybe even been on antidepressants. I speak with a little authority, because I was on the antidepressant Prozac for seven years after my accident in 1973. I know what that’s like, and I know how it leaves you feeling. There’s nothing that makes you want to leave this life quicker than being depressed. When you get in that state, you just lose your whole interest in life, and it doesn’t matter who it is or who’s around you at the time.

So clary sage is really supporting to those hormones. It helps you move out of that stage of “feeling the blues” or just lifeless-type feelings. So it’s a transformation oil in and of itself.

When I conducted research with Dr. Jaime L. Matta in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in 1996 on DNA and RNA, frankincense, sandalwood, and balsam fir were the three oils that were the most powerful for transforming of DNA and RNA. So of course in Transformation, we also have balsam fir.  

We can start to see the structure of how these oils work in helping to eradicate that bad encoded information. If you say your affirmations in a positive note while you’re breathing in frankincense or Transformation, it will encode that new information and empower you to go forward and do the things that maybe you have felt unsure of, limited in, insecure about, or whatever. Transformation is a powerful oil blend to help you overcome those limitations.

Transformation also has cardamom, and a lot of times I’ve been asked, “Why would you put cardamom in Transformation?” Well, studies suggest that essential oils are extremely powerful in augmenting brain function and increasing the oxygen uptake of the brain. If the brain is deficient in oxygen, then you might experience depression, low thyroid function, and low pituitary output.

I believe cardamom is really powerful in helping to increase the oxygen uptake in the brain and just move you towards a more positive attitude as well.

Take a close look at Mary Young's beautiful skin! What a testimonial for sandalwood essential oil!

Another oil in Transformation that’s so powerful is sandalwood, which is really beautiful on the skin. I’m going to let Mary tell you about sandalwood because she uses it almost every single day.

MARY: I absolutely love sandalwood; I think it’s one of the most beautiful feeling oils on the skin. It has just the right texture—not too thin and not too thick—and I’ve been using it for years. 

I can remember back in 1992 or ’93 before Gary and I were married. I was in my condo looking at the oils on the counter and wondered what it would be like to put oils on my skin, so I just started doing it and never stopped.

 I don’t use only sandalwood, I also use other oils that are similar in viscosity. However, I have found that the oils have natural alcohol, which can be drying to the skin, and so I always put Boswellia Wrinkle Cream or A·R∙T or one of the creams that we have on top of the oil and have found it to be a perfect combination for my skin. 

Sandalwood is an absolutely beautiful, beautiful oil in the way it makes you feel, and I just can’t even imagine being without it. Just start experimenting. Try one oil and see how it feels; if you don’t like it, try another one. You might find 5, 10, 15 oils that you like on your skin.

I also love patchouli and myrrh, although Gary says myrrh smells like a dirty sock, and he always says, “Don’t wear it at night.”  But I love the feel of it on my skin; it’s wonderful. Just have fun and experiment using the oils and see which ones you like best.

GARY: Thank you, sweetheart. Of course I’m the benefactor; I get to touch and hold and kiss the beautiful skin that she puts those oils on every day. It’s wonderful. All you guys who are listening: Wow! If you didn’t give your wife sandalwood for Christmas, make that the next special gift.

Just imagine the power found in this golden nugget of frankincense resin!

As you are diffusing Transformation, it will stimulate the receptors in the limbic system and will open up the pineal gland. You will start to have feelings and thoughts, and maybe you will even see in a dream state ideas or visions of what can happen in your life. When we look at some of the oils in Transformation, we become excited.

First, let’s look at frankincense. We know the power of frankincense. We know how it supports  the immune system, how it builds and improves the lymphatic system, how it’s a cleanser, and how it’s a regenerator. Wow, what a phenomenal oil!

The research that is now coming out of universities on cellular integrity is impressive, and Dr. HK Lin and the Young Living team just finished publishing our paper on frankincense and breast health on PubMed last December. We have seen phenomenal research at the clinic in Ecuador and in what Dr. Suhail, our partner and the manager of our distillery in Oman, is finding.

The power of frankincense is astounding!

Just as this baby girl has most of her life ahead of her, you have more than eight months ahead of you to make 2012 your year of Transformation!

We have been going through more than three years of a real economic crisis in the world, and some forecasters are telling us that 2012 is going to be worse. They’re saying that more people will be out of work, more homes will be lost, and more businesses will collapse. These forecasters are preaching a lot of doom and gloom. 

However, I look around me and I don’t see the doom and gloom. We do have a tendency to see what we look for, so I look for excitement; I look for growth; I look for success; and I look for discovery, research, and accomplishments. If you’re busy looking at these things, it’s pretty hard to see the doom and gloom and the economic crisis. They will still affect us, but if we want to transform our lives, then we have to focus on transforming our attitudes–and that’s why I’ve chosen Transformation for the theme for 2012.

Part of that is transforming from the negative aspects of our attitudes and thinking to the positive ones. Now does that mean that the negative thoughts will go away? Not all of them. But they will certainly diminish and the positive thoughts will become your primary focus, so what you’re focused on will become your reality.

We have a wonderful oil blend called Transformation. Use this oil blend in a diffuser in your home to set up the frequency for transformation while you write down your goals for 2012—what you want to accomplish, where you want to be with your health, with your belief system, your attitude, or your financial condition. Maybe it’s even your marital status or your personal feelings. Just write down where you are now, where you want to be, and what you would like to become through this transformational year. You still have most of the year ahead of you, so start now!
