AromaThrive with Lisa

Ready for summer vacation? You'll want to hear these pandemic travel safety tips to help keep you and your family safe. Since the July 4th weekend, COVID-19 cases in Santa Barbara and Southern California have dramatically increased. It's prompted health officials to urge everyone - regardless of vaccination status - to mask up.

Keep your immune system strong - it can keep everyone safe. Need recommendations for all natural supplements, green cleaning or personal care products to support your overall well being? Let's talk. Email me at [email protected]

Autumn Equinox, a time to check in with yourself to review the past three months, release what you no longer want and set your attention on what you wish to create.

In this episode, I offer guidelines for socializing safely during the pandemic, self-care reminders and how to see the 'silver lining' in pandemic life, when things have slowed down and gotten quieter for most of us. 

As always, I'm recommending an essential oil aroma to support you during these times: Release is a blend of ylang ylang, sandalwood, citrus and more, to help you release - let go - of worn out feelings, thoughts and ways of being. Visit AromaThrive.com to order Release and transform your personal, nutritional and cleaning routine with quality, plant-based products. 

I don't know about you, but putting on a face covering to go out made me not want to breathe, or go out as much. Until now - tune-in to this episode to learn a simple solution that makes mask-wearing more interesting, and breathe-able. 

You'll also get ideas for being in the moment, Boosting your wellness by getting closer to nature (and natural products), and imagining your perfect life while staying safer at home.  

With all that's happening in the world, did you even notice that Spring has come?  It will be followed by a new moon on March 24, which inspires new ideas - it's a good time to plant seeds (goals, ideas) during a new moon that you wish to see come to harvest in 28 days, or even fall. 

In this episode I encourage you to B R E A T H E, it can help you relieve stress. I'll walk you thru two breathing exercises, including breath of fire. And, will also offer ideas for grounding and centering - and re-imagining your life, as you may be staying home a lot more often, as so many of us are, during these interesting times.

Science is proving that we inherit more than physical traits like hair and eye color from our biological families. The study of epigenetics has found that trauma and stress responses are also inherited. 

In this episode, Elizabeth Gould, author of Your Best Health by Friday, explains how these unconscious  reactions are passed from generation to generation. And why, when you are aware of this, you can improve your health and well-being. 

The suggested essential oil for this episode is lemon, or a citrus oil. Inhale a drop or two of lemon or other citrus essential oils to bring a feeling of sunshine into your heart. Citrus can provide an energy-brain boost and their aromas equate to happiness for many people. Citrus oils are great to add to natural cleaning solutions - they will help keep your living space smelling fresh and clean.  

Lemon and Citrus Fresh are two of the dozen essential oils & blends you'll receive (along with your choice of ultrasonic diffuser) when you order a Premium Starter Kit at AromaThrive.com

The holidays are sneaking up, and extreme emotions sneak up on us, too, this time of year. In this episode, I speak with my friend, author Deborah Richards, who offers insights for shining thru the holidays even if they bring up memories that can feel overwhelming.

In her book, Shift & Shine, Deb details how she survived the death of her husband who committed suicide, and how her belief that they will be together again in the afterlife warms her heart. She also speaks of struggles with two of her children who went thru addiction and recovery. She is blessed this holiday that both daughters are living sober.

Deb shares a five minute morning ritual that enables her to Shift & Shine throughout her day. You can find her book on Amazon.

In this podcast we recommend the essential oil of Frankincense to enhance your listening experience. It's an earthy aroma that can inspire feelings of higher consciousness, and reflection. Order your Frankincense and other essential oils at AromaThrive.com

Here we are heading into the holiday season already! In this episode let's look at the health benefits of being grateful, aromas that can help you get more in the holiday spirit - and, why the average life expectancy of Americans continues to decline.

The suggested essential oils blend for this episode is HOPE, a sweet blend of Melissa, Myrrh and more, to uplift spirits and inspire feelings of hopefulness.

Wishing you a happy and healthy Thanksgiving holiday weekend. 

Being part of a tribe - people you relate to, and who get you - can be good for your health.  Festivals strive to cultivate a cool vibe that brings together like-minded people for a good time, and there's an art to that.

FestForums, a conference that brings together people who create festivals- and those who provide services that support festivals and live events - is coming to Santa Barbara November 21-23.  It's a very cool hang!

In this episode I speak with Laurie Kirby, co-founder of FestForums, about trends in conferences, what it takes to put on a successful live event - and what will be happening at FestForums this year. Special guests at FestForums this year include Penelope Spheeris, Jon Anderson (YES), Skip Parker,  Ray Parker, Jr. and many more. And, this is an event where everyone feels like a VIP, being treated to a variety of events and activities from wine tastings - and live performances, to panels, awards and presentations.

I will be there to offer Aroma Experiences, so I hope to see you there.  For more information and to register (use the promo code "FRIENDOFLAURIE" for a deal), go to FestForums.com

Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, along with Halloween and All Saint's Day all fall within a few days of each other. Tradition says it's the time of year the veils are thinnest between earthly life and the 'other side.'
