Hey, everybody, it’s Dr. Sam and I’d like to welcome you to another EyeClarity podcast. As part of the Summit Series, today, I am interviewing a fabulous summit speaker and she has been a teacher. I think her whole life she is, wow, she’s had many lives. And she is the founder and owner of Stillpoint aromatics. I’m doing a little commercial here. This is my top essential oil company that I use. And you might, you know, in my community, I recommend aromatherapy and it’s in all my classes and all my work. And so Virginia joy. Let me give you a little background. She’s originally from New York. And she has migrated to one of my favorite cities Sedona, Arizona. And she opened up Stillpoint aromatics, which imports over 470, organic and wild harvested biodynamically farmed essential oils that are extracted through the entire world. And I just bought a lot of oils, and just brings back so many memories of all the oils that that I use. And so Virginia, Joy V. Joy, welcome to the program. It is so great to have you. How are you doing today? How’s it going?
01:43
Oh, pretty good. Yes, yes. Pretty good. And thank you my honor to be here. Really, my honor.
01:50
Well, both of our honors, but thank you so much. So tell me a little bit about how you got involved in the essences, and you’ve made it your passion, you have a very successful company, how did you get into it?
02:07
Oh, my God, that was in my other life, I used to use the essential oils, when I taught fifth grade with the kids. This is way back when. And so we would use different oils, you know, the usual safe ones, you know, lavender would help them calm down, we’d use rosemary before writing workshop, and the kids would have their favorite plant their favorite oil, and then we would put a drop on their test. And so that’s how it started. Really.
02:35
I love it, putting it on their test. That’s, that’s the way to go. So in terms of, you know, today in our climate COVID climate, and we’re talking a lot about immune health, what do you recommend for people so that they can, you know, stay away from the drugs and all that and use essential oils to boost their immune health?
02:58
You know, there are a few actually. So the top one really is it’s not even in the essential oil, it’s cold press black human, right, the Gela sativa there’s that them to use as a cold pressed oil in tea and a teaspoon in a capsule. And then its sister its counterpart, the black seed essential oil is fantastic to use. Also, because of the I think it’s the thyme queen in it. So there’s that and people that don’t like that, then there are the usual it’s like rosemary essential oil is fantastic. And lemon time, benchmark time is awesome. And you could use them in a variety of ways from diffusing to topical, like there’s this great aromatic morning routine people could do if they want to stop the day off, right? boost their immune system and use the oils are black spruce, laurel leaf, a little bit of clove, but not too much. And benchmark time and you just put a couple of drops of each in your hands in the shower. And while you’re still wet, you just put their all the end in, you’ll know the area, it’s the areas where between the digits and the toes, I say it rolling in tegu mentary areas, you so you put the oil on the chest, under the armpits and let the water hit you and you start the day off alert and also with quite a bit of protection energetically as well as within the system. And so yeah,
04:47
ditto I mean, I’m so with you on it. So many variety of ways to you know, get the essential oils into your body. And it’s a good reminder about black cumin and different ways you can use it and black seed. And then these other ones, you know, take I take a shower with Laura leaf and it just, you know penetrates so deeply right into
05:11
Yes. No, it’s awesome. Yes, yes it is. And Laura leaf also has the energetic protection, you know of, it’s the it’s the travelers herb. So back in the day, you would put a bay Laurel in your shoe while you’re traveling, so you’d reach your destination safe. So I’m big into the Yep, I’m big into the energetics too. You know, you can’t separate them right mind body, metaphysical physical. So
05:44
you know, it’s one of the things that’s drawn me to you and your company is the fact that you are but using both the physical and the energetic, the energetic is sometimes even more potent, at least I have found it to be the case. And so I I really love that you bring that bring that in?
06:02
Yeah. Okay, so let’s, let’s move a little bit into some of the essential oils in relationship to kind of more of a spiritual way that you use them, I know that you teach a lot of courses through your company, Stillpoint aromatics. And one of the your favorite ones is the mystery school. And I would love for you to talk about the application of the oils and how you weave that into your mystery school.
06:37
So, um, okay, so with with the Mystery School, really what the whole purpose of that is to help people live a balanced life on this planet and connect with their, their essence, so to speak. So it’s kind of it sounds kind of hokey, but you know, that essential oil, the essence of the essential oil connected to the essence of us, we could really do some deep work and clear old patterns. And, you know, I live in Sedona it’s awesome. It’s an awesome place. But I mean, it’s like a spiritual, Las Vegas and a lot of ways and everybody is always looking to Oh, my God, astral project and all of this stuff, but like we’re in a meat suit. And so the whole idea is to learn how to live in the meatsuit walk among the people create magical miracles for ourselves and others while we’re here. And that’s really how I integrate using the oils like with those teachings. And so, you know, the resin oils are great. The few gout banned them or the old, the ancient ones are really helpful. Most of the time when we’re working with them for to affect the spiritual body. It’s mostly through inhalation, you know, inhalation, a little bit of application, chakra points, stuff like that. But and the most important thing is that people have to like what they’re smelling. You know? It Yeah.
08:10
Yeah, well, you know, I remember one night to bed I was spiking art and my wife’s like, Get out of here. The height is can’t handle that. Yeah, and yeah, you know, such great dreams, right? No.
08:24
Yeah, no, I’d be right.
08:27
Yeah, exactly. So when you say resin oils, are you talking about things like frankincense or vetiver or what? Which ones you said mentioned Albanian, which is a very ancient essential oil. I love that aroma. But what other ones do you use?
08:44
So yeah, so frankincense, Mar, balsam? Copaiba is a really nice one. And then there are the there the oils here the what I call them, the pricey ones, but one of the best ones to use is agarwood. And perfumers know it as UHD. But it’s a it’s, it’s fantastic. And really the reason is, yeah, it is it’s great. And it’s and it’s great. Well, the whole like that story. Like if you look at the plant parts, like from where they come. So ag our wood is from the Agra wood tree. And though that tree, it gets a virus or a fungus, that part of the tree dies and that’s the part that’s distilled. So it’s it’s like yet so it’s a perfect of transformation, death life rebirth. So it’s, it’s, it’s awesome for meditation and for deep healing emotional wounds. But it’s a pricey one. So, but it’s awesome.
09:47
Yeah, but it works. And yeah, thanks for that reminder. So we’re here with Virginia joy. She is the founder of Stillpoint, aromatics central Oil Company based in Sedona, Arizona, and she’s one of our featured speakers for and a sponsor for our upcoming summit and I want you to check her out at her website. I’ll put that in the notes and she puts on a lot of workshops teaches people how to use the essential oils safely. And let’s talk about the respiratory system for a minute because we’re we’re kind of in this you know, virus flu situation and you know, we have the the winter flu. What do you what do you recommend? What are your protocols for respiratory health?
10:34
No, for respiratory health the first at the first sniffle, one of the best essential oils and herbs honestly to use is Rosemary. So the first sniffle, you want to take rosemary and it could be any of them rosemary, cineole, rosemary, Verbenone, rosemary, camphor, chemo, type camphor, and put it between your hands and sniff very deeply. And then take it and put it behind the ears and down the neck here. And if you can get to the store and get some rosemary to make rosemary tea from the rosemary, you know, even in the Safeway in the little packets, make rosemary tea, cut it up and and then inhale and then drink the tea. It’s one of the best things to stop. Because the whole idea is you want to stop it from turning into an upper respiratory, you want to keep it out of the lungs. And the other thing that’s invaluable is lemon lemon essential oil. One drop on honey, three times a day helps boost the immune system white blood cells.
11:44
Yeah, lemon is one of my go twos. I just I mean, Rosemary had forgotten about but Rosemary of course number one and lemon as you say, it is such an immune booster and it does support white blood cell. We also use it for cleaning. You know, I think in some of the you know, the cleaning agents are so toxic. And as we could be you could probably comment more on what are some good cleaning agents for essential oils that you might use.
12:13
Yep, lemon is great. And well any of the citrus is really orange is fantastic. And then if you want to have an antiviral, antibacterial add a little bit of time time. Oh, but yeah, not too much. Because then it smells time. Yeah, you know? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And the pines are in the in the pines are really good red pine flag pine little
12:41
got some I just got some maritime maritime pine ocean pine I just love that. Talk about the pines for a minute and the different kinds you got, you know, red pine, and you got maritime pine educate us on on these tree essences and how they work and support us.
13:05
So well. Yeah, I really liked pines. And so you know, red pine. My favorite one is maritime pine too, though, that it is. And so maritime pine, all of the Pines you can use for respiratory, any of them, you know, you’ve just picked your favorite. But when it comes to the energetics and like the sub levels, I call them the sub layers of using the oils. Maritime pine is one of the most powerful because it’s the only pine that grows with its roots near the water with the with hence maritime pine. And so the energetics of maritime pine it helps it helps people go with the flow. So you know the waves roll in the waves roll out and up and downs of life so it’s it’s it to me it’s a I call it a passage essence so to speak, but it’s awesome. I’m awesome for emotional awesome for Cold Flu. Awesome. Yep.
14:01
Yeah, I can attest to that this morning, my first day back from holiday and I was met with all kinds of problems and you know, my my brand and webstore and everything. And I was using maritime pine the past couple of days and so I brought it out again and she’s been my friend today and I right now I’m feeling much more in flow has been the best part of the day. So yeah, you know, you can use these essential oils to dissolve blockages and you know, raise your vibration. What are some of your favorite ones for shock and trauma?
14:41
My favorite ones for shock and trauma are Melissa Neroli and, and laurel leaf, you know, and Melissa is it really is it’s the premier one for shock and trauma. It’s you know it’s sister or something Lemon Grass and Mei Chang have the same aroma but as far as as far as the psychological. It’s Melissa is it’s amazing. And the rolly for emotional shock and trauma, you know?
15:14
That’s awesome. So we’re here with Virginia joy. She is the founder of Stillpoint aromatics, where she imports over 470 organic and wild harvested biodynamically biodynamically farmed essential oils. She is one of our featured speakers and sponsor for our my upcoming whole health summit. So I wanted to ask you about inflammation, you know, a lot of elders, they have joint pain or muscle pain. What do you recommend to help people naturally without you know, you again, using pharmaceuticals?
15:53
Oh, the word that oil that should come to mind with inflammation is German Chamomile, it’s synonymous German, chamomile, it’s, it’s awesome. And you know, you can if you it’s blue, right? It’s that dark blue. Right? If you if you take it and you use it neat. And you let’s say you have a pain on your arm and you put the germ well, you can do this actually with any oil, but you put the German Chamomile on your arm, and where there’s inflammation, it’s going to absorb in and so you’ll start to see white and and then you just mush the rest of it over. So it saturates it, but it’s magic. The other one that’s really really good is Fly Fly Central. It’s it’s a root oil and it’s it’s and that’s more for skeletal and pain and inflammation that way musculus Yeah, yeah. But it’s but for the blue. It’s awesome though. The blue one. It’s and it’s Yeah.
16:50
Yeah, those blue essential oils are amazing. I mean, you remind me of the German camera meal. But even things like blue spruce, and cheese. What are some other blue essential oils anyway? They, they’re phenomenal. They’ve got such a vibration to them.
17:10
Now they do. Right? Yeah. And they’re great for people that have trouble speaking, you know, just put some, I mean, if they’re the blue collar you does it become a smurf. And then you could speak your truth actually. So.
17:28
So tell our audience about the flour, essential oils, you know, I mean, they are expensive. But they’re so potent in a lot of ways. How do you utilize the flour essential oils?
17:41
Yeah, they are there. The the lists, the cheapest, quote, unquote, one would be Lang Lang, Lang Lang, is the most affordable ones. But the flour essential oils, they have an affinity to the heart, you know, but they also have, which, and also it’s, they’re uplifting, they help with depression and stuff, but they’re also one of the great ones that help with the Wheel of Time, because when you think about it, flowers, they’re, they, they they get us in touch with our mortality for the the whole acceptance of just the wheel of life, because flowers don’t, you know, you give a bouquet of flowers, and they’re not going to be there a year later. And they all have within it like this pattern of a mattala You know, the, the flower itself. So I think flower oils are overlooked quite a bit because some people like too strong too stinky, too sweet. But they, they added depth to any kind of formula really, and a grounding.
18:50
You know, it reminds me of all the retreats that I did in Hawaii on the Big Island with dolphin twins, Dolphin swims, and we used to, you know, do a whole ceremony of applying the essential oils before we got on the boat. And a lot of times you know, we would ask which which oils the dolphins wanted. And a lot of times it was the flower essences because they’re so heart centered. And we had such magical experiences out there and in Hawaii with the wild spinner dolphins and using the essential oils before during and even after the swims because people would be processing a lot of you know energy from swimming with them and then in the evenings we would do meditations and, and things like that. So it’s it’s always great to that’s one of the versatile things I love about the essential oils is being able to use them under a variety of different conditions. And tell us about some of your upcoming workshops and what your what your offerings are in 2020 too.
20:01
So, oh gosh, I have a bunch but and I and I love teaching I miss I miss the kids, I think from my old school mom days, but um, there’s, there’s a variety of there are a variety of them coming up the next one that I’m excited about time up is an anatomy and physiology one. And I tell people that and they’re like, Oh, how boring and I’m like, No, not boring because well, it’s not boring. I’m not boring, um, lots of fun. But if you if you don’t know, if a person doesn’t know how their body works, how can they take back their power to help heal it? You know? So that’s, that’s the next one that’s coming up.
