Hello Steemit! I’m glad to be here. My name is Rory, I’m 22 and living in Northern Vermont. All my life I’ve loved nature; the plants and the animals. Growing up I always worked in my mothers’ gardens with her and when I was about 16 I began studying herbalism.
It was this study that has set the main course of my life. A few years into it I was introduced to essential oils and I was quick to fall down that rabbit hole. The history of essential oils is the history of us. They encompass every aspect of the beginning of human civilization from medicine and economy to war and spirituality.
Being the life blood of the plant, it’s “spirit,” essential oils were used for centuries by alchemists in their quest for answers, to know how the universe works [not necessarily the quest to transform a base metal into gold]. And that quest is still going on today.
Quantum Theory has revolutionized the way we view the world and the way we view life. I am fascinated by all of its implications and just how closely it relates to the direction in which this world is headed. Namely the fact that science has within the last few decades discovered the fact that our physical universe is made up purely of energy. This only confirms what multiple religions and scientific theories have expressed throughout history. Essential oils play a big part in changing the frequencies of our own energies and of those of our environments. It is my belief that the collection vibration of the world has lowered resulting in the madness we see today. But on the bright side, things are still better than we have ever known and they will soon get better, because natures abhors a vacuum and the only constant in life is change.
Outside of my day job working in an animal shelter, I study all that I can about herbalism, the natural sciences, history [particularly ancient history and archeology], and even theology and spirituality because healing can only happen when body, mind and spirit are treated together. This is why I was so excited to have found such a great opportunity in Young Living Essential Oils. As a part-time side business I am a distributor for this amazing company that produces the best quality essential oils that I know of.
So in addition to learning how to take care of myself and my animals, in addition to learning the beauty secrets used throughout the ages and in addition to becoming familiar with what constitutes a healthy, balanced lifestyle- one that is in even in harmony with Nature- I get paid to share all this learning. It’s my own little way of [hopefully] making the world a better place.
Yet for 2 years I have struggled with this because I am not a people person. I do not go out and approach strangers for anything. That’s a bit of an issue when you’re in a sales position… However I am happy to put myself out there and have people approach me if they’re interested in what I have to offer. This is why I was so excited to have discovered Steemit!
I find this platform fascinating for its core foundational concept of quality over quantity and the Free Market principle to let the people choose. I believe these are what foster intelligent conversation and debate. I am very happy to be a part of it…
