Podcast#119-Common Limiting Beliefs
See the full blog here: https://benbalden.com/limiting-beliefs/
Buy my book, Live a Happier, Fuller Life here: https://benbalden.com/books/
NOTES FROM POST:
-Limiting beliefs are those that hold us back
-Beliefs could be unsupportive, supportive, or neutral
-Beliefs could be false, true, or a bit of both
-That makes 9 different categories of beliefs
-But the most important of these is whether the belief is empowering or limiting
-Furthermore the beliefs can be either conscious or subconscious
-So, what do you do about it?
-Use your intelligence to sort the beliefs out in your mind
-Decipher which are limiting and which are empowering
-Beliefs are just one type of mental block: (1) beliefs, (2) fears, and (3) unmet needs
-Limiting beliefs can fall into one of these categories:
1) General limited beliefs
2) Limits of identity
3) Limits of circumstances
4) Limits of truth
5) Limits of consequences
-So, what do you do to fix them?
1) Identify the limiting belief
2) Seek to understand it
3) Replace it with the truth

Addressing Health Ailments with essential oils
Read more: https://benbalden.com/addressing-ailments/
-
IDENTIFY – What is the ailment? Is it known by other names? What body system does it affect? What could be happening behind or causing this symptom? Is what you’re experiencing the result of another imbalance in your life or body? What do you think is the root cause of your ailment?
-
SEARCH – Look up the ailment, the body system, and root cause in essential oil reference guides. Ask friends in person or in online groups. Use some of the suggestions mentioned in our discussion about reference guides.
-
EXPERIMENT – Find a solution or two that you think may help support your body with that ailment. Try out the solution starting with low doses and moving up. If that works, keep exploring it. If it doesn’t work try the next solution, and the next until you find something that works for you.

The Art of Blending Essential Oils
Read More: https://benbalden.com/blending/
Why blend?
- Create a stronger therapeutic benefit
What is a blend?
-
Selecting several essential oil singles with similar qualities to create a new or stronger oil solution
-
For example combining Lavender and Roman Chamomile together. Both have the quality of promoting restful sleep, and when combined, they do that better.
The Art (and Science) of Blending
Step 1) Start With a Need
Step 2) Select Your Single Oils (see https://benbalden.com/blending/ for details)
Step 3) Choose Type Of Application
Step 4) Put It Together
TIPS:
-
Look for the "Blends Well With" listings in the essential oil guide
-
Look up Needs rather than Oils, for instance look at, "Sleep" rather than "Lavender"
-
Professionally created blends are best as they are
-
Label your blend and keep a record/journal
-
Generally use fewer oils and keep it simple
-
Order added doesn't matter in personal blends

The post Methods for Using Essential Oils Internally 📹 🎧 (eo-22) appeared first on Ben Balden.
So, how much essential oil should you be using for each application?
Read more: https://benbalden.com/dosage/
There are 4 potential outcomes you can experience from your oil levels:
-
INSUFFICIENT– You applied too little. You’re not feeling any therapeutic benefit.
-
OPTIMAL– You feel the most benefit as the amount of oils in your system have reached the therapeutic benefit range.
-
LARGE– You’ve applied too much. You are not feeling as much benefit as you could be feeling.
-
OVERKILL– You’ve applied way more than you need, and your body is so busy getting rid of the stuff that you may not even experience the therapeutic benefit.
Here is a guide for how much essential oils an adult should use:
-
AROMATIC– 3-5 drops when you fill your diffuser (see post on using oils aromatically)
-
INTERNAL– 2-4 drops (see post on using oils internally)
-
ORAL (placed in mouth) – 1-3 drops (see post on using oils orally)
-
DERMAL (topical) – 3-6 drops (see post on using oils topically)
The ideal amount for an adult (half this for a child).

Why would you use essential oils in your mouth?
Read more: https://benbalden.com/oral/
There are two reasons you may want to use essential oils in your mouth:
-
Systemic entry
-
Oral health
1) ORAL ENTRY INTO THE BODY SYSTEMS (SYSTEMIC)
Effective entry points:
A) Under Tongue (sublingual): blood capillaries close to surface - direct access to body - great for immunity, cellular health, longevity
B) Roof of mouth (palatal velum): access to mind, especially good for emotional or cognitive issues
Frankincense is a popular oil for this.
2) ORAL APPLICATION FOR ORAL HEALTH (LOCAL APPLICATION)
To address wellness issues in the mouth: teeth, tongue, gums, breath, and other oral health issues. It’s like applying topically where you need it - only here, you need it in your mouth.
Birch is popular to teeth health, and Clove is popularly used for oral immunity and cleanliness.
WHICH OILS:
As a rule of thumb, use oils in your mouth that you can take internally.
DOSAGE FOR ORAL ESSENTIAL OIL USE:
-
Ideal amount: 1-3 drops
-
24 hour max 12-36 drops
-
1/3 of this for a child
Low dosage for both oral applications is better for two reasons:
-
Avoids any potential irritation
-
Avoids triggering salivation and being washed away

Using Essential Oils Internally.
Is it safe to use essential oils in your food or water?
Read more: https://benbalden.com/internal/
YES, you CAN use essential oils internally . . . if . . .
-
the oils are high quality, and
-
the oils are labeled safe for internal use (or supplemental use).
So, is it safe?
-
Most governments label essential oils as GRAS, FL, or FA, which means that they are safe to take internally. I know that’s a low bar to pass, but it is saying something.
-
My family and many millions more have been using essential oils internally for over ten years, and I have NEVER heard of anyone being harmed from it.
How does it work?
-
The oils enter your body through the oral or digestive system?
-
They can provide relief locally in the mouth, throat, or digestive system
-
They can also enter the blood and provide a general body-wide systemic relief
When should you use essential oils internally?
-
Use the oils internally when you want to benefit your mouth, throat, digestive system, or abdominal organs.
-
Use oils internally when you want to provide systemic relief such as
-
Immunity
-
Detoxing or cleansing
-
Restfulness or relaxation
-
Energy and vitality
-
Cellular health
-
Longevity

There are so many reasons to dilute essential oils. Here is everything you need to know.
🔥 Some essential oils can be hot or spicy
3️⃣ There are 3 levels of spiciness
-
🟡 NOT SPICY - You can apply without diluting (67% of your oils fall into this category)(Labeled N for NEAT)
-
🟠 MEDIUM SPICY - Your oil may be a bit spicy for sensitive, young, or older skin (26% of your oils fall into this category) (Labeled S for SENSITIVE)
-
🔴 SUPER SPICEY - You may want to almost always dilute these oils for any Homo sapiens. (Only about 7% of your oils fall in this category: They are Cassia, Cinnamon, Clove, Cumin, Geranium, Lemongrass, Oregano, and Thyme.) (Labeled D for DILUTE)
Check the labels:
N is for Neat, which means it is not spicy at all and doesn’t need dilution.
S is for Sensitive, the medium spicy oils you dilute for sensitive skin
D is for Dilute or be sorry!
SO, WHY DILUTE??
SPICY
SPREAD
APPLICATIONS
DRIVE
LENGTHEN
COVER
EXTEND
SO, HOW TO DILUTE (OR WHAT TO DILUTE WITH):
CARRIER OIL
LOTION
WATER

Applying essential oils through your skin.
TOPICAL TOPICS:
-
Oils go through skin
-
For local therapy
-
Systemic for whole body
WHEN TO CHOOSE TOPICAL:
-
SKIN
-
MUSCLES
-
ORGANS
-
HEAD & NECK
Topical Use in A Nutshell
So, in review…
Because your skin is permeable, it provides an ideal pathway for essential oils
Apply topically to benefit a specific area of the body such as muscles, organs, and specific tissues
In some cases, topical application can get the oils into your body system in general
Avoid applying in sensitive regions
Dilute for sensitivity issues and for application strategies
Use strategic application methods to improve therapeutic benefit

So, what should you look for in an essential oil?
-
First of all, your oil must work. (Potency)
-
Secondly, it must do no harm. (Purity)
The best way to ensure your oils are potent and pure is to look for essential oils that (1) are made 100% by nature, (2) come from the best source on the planet, (3) are produced through responsible practices.

Nature gets essential oils right. Synthesizing them on a lab just doesn't cut it.
Problems with synthesizing essential oil molecules in a laboratory.
Read more: https://benbalden.com/problems-with-synthesizing-essential-oil-molecules-in-a-laboratory/
You may be asking, “So, what’s the big deal with making essential oils in a laboratory?” It scientists can create the same molecule in a lab that nature does, it’s essentially the same, right? True, but there is SO much more to the story. Here are 4 problems with synthetic production of essential oils:
1) ISOLATION - The isolation of a key constituent molecule removes the synergy or naturally occurring mixture of other constituent molecules.
2) TRACE HARMFUL INGREDIENTS - Harmful trace ingredients used in the synthetic production of an isolated essential oil molecule are found in small amounts in the final product.
3) CHIRALITY - Because a laboratory produces different chiral molecules, some synthesized molecules may not work the same as nature-made molecules even if the atoms and the atomic bonds are the same.
4) SUSTAINABILITY - Producing essential oils through nature in sustainable ways is more valuable to the average end consumer and the environment.

There is a huge difference in the quality of essential oils on the market.
Not all essential oils are the same (what makes some essential oils cost so much?)
💡 You’re paying for quality.
💡 You will pay more for an essential oil extracted from a plant than one created in a laboratory.
💡 The majority of essential oils out there are synthetically produced in a laboratory.
💡 The majority of essential oils out there don’t work, that is they don’t provide the therapeutic value you should get (even if they are extracted from a plant)
💡 Many essential oils out there are adulterated. That is they have something added to them to either attempt to enhance them or stretch the batch.
💡 Try it out for yourself. What’s most important is what works for you.

Using essential oils requires a different approach than using modern chemical health solutions.
Essential oils require a different approach to relief as compared to traditional forms of healthcare
🧪 - No statistically significant direction
💊 - Not a pill for an ill solution
🧑🔬 - Everyone is different, background, emotions, trauma
🧮 - Many possible solutions
🔬 - Must experiment to learn what works for you
🌳 - Oils address root cause rather than symptoms
🔨 - Synthetic approaches are like using a sledge hammer, they may fix or cover up the problem, but they cause side effect
Example:
Two men have a wellness ailment. They both try essential oils, but find relief from a different oil.
What are your thoughts?
Do you find using essential oils in your home a different approach than using traditional or modern healthcare approaches?
Do you agree?

Are essential oils snake oils, or do they really work?
Are Essential Oils Snake Oils?
Have you ever heard, “It’s all in your mind?” or “It’s just a placebo effect.” What about, “Essential oils are just snake oils!”
Tell me in the COMMENTS, what do you say to someone who responds this way.
TERMS TO KNOW:
🦠 PLACEBO EFFECT: A placebo effect is when someone responds positively to a fake treatment simply because they psychologically believed the treatment would work. It’s like taking a sugar pill and getting better just because you believed you would.
🐍 SNAKE OILS: In the mid 19th century, a salesmen sold a mineral oil substance referred to as “snake oil” and claimed it was a cure-all elixir for all kinds of physiological problems. There was no proof for his claims. And no refunds either. Now days the term, “snake oil,” is a euphemism for deceptive marketing and health care fraud. It’s used to describe any product making frivolous claims.
🦆 QUACKERY: Quackery means fraudulent or ignorant medical practice. A quack is a fraudulent pretender of medical skill.
🤷♂️ SKEPTICAL HUSBAND: This is normal. As a protector of family resources in the home, men are by nature skeptical about novel claims that seek to deplete the family resources and offer little or no tangible benefit.

The post My first encounter with essential oils 📹 🎧 (eo-04) appeared first on Ben Balden.
Because essential oils are simple unique molecules, they have amazing properties.
Let’s talk about the unique qualities of essential oils…
⭐️ They can be used with almost any other remedy
⭐️ They are molecularly small and simple
⭐️ They can travel to the parts of the body where they are needed
⭐️ They are up to 1000 times smaller than synthetic remedies
⭐️ They work molecularly in the body’s biological pathways to chemically produce the results we experience
⭐️ There are about 37 Trillion human cells in our body (100 trillion cells including non-human cells)
⭐️ A drop of essential oil contains 40 million-trillion molecules
⭐️ Each drop of oil can cover each cell in the body with 400,000 to 1.2 million essential oil molecules
⭐️ The most important evidence you need is what you EXPERIENCE when you use essential oils
Essential oils are…
-
plant extracts,
-
oil soluble,
-
evaporative,
-
very aromatic, and
