22 " Within you there is an infinite reservoir of self-worth and integrity--tap into it and alchemize your consciousness. "
23 " Taking a bath or touching a crystal won’t lead to total liberation under real oppression, but in order to care for others, we must first care for ourselves. "
24 " You are sovereign over your own life. You are your own guru. You are your own soulmate. You are the architect of your reality, and you have the power to create it as you choose. "
25 " As you embrace this idea that you own your life, you begin to exercise dominion over it. "
26 " A key component of vitality is being as present as possible in the moment that is happening right now. The past is over and the future is yet to arrive, but now is the place where your vitality lives. "
27 " You have the power to alchemize your mood. "

34 " Think about this--if you buy a perfume or aftershave because it’s the trendiest scent at the moment, but you don’t really like it, how often will you wear it? With essential oils the same is true. Take some time to find the scents that you like, even if it whittles your list down to only two or three. "
35 " Essential oils have earned their place in history because of their powerful ability to make us calmer and feel more serene. "

38 " Steam inhalation is a lovely way to take in the goodness offered by some herbs. "
39 " Nowadays, people seem to have normalized this level of highly stimulating media. And although it may have become the norm, it does not necessarily mean that it has a positive effect on any of us. "
40 " Sometimes, amplifying and activating certain systems can be a good thing. But at times it comes at the expense of our inner peace. Our job is to strike a balance. "
