​Here is a quick article on Basil or (Ocimum basilicum)
Inhaling her intoxicating scent…she moves through me, quickly through my mind, that ‘Great Wing’ and then down through my throat clearing every passage I have forgotten in the quickly moving tides of life.
It is serendipitous my exchange with SWEET EGYPTIAN ORGANIC BASIL.
As she descends into my heart chakra…I KNOW HER.
I remember her.
It is no wonder she is a Goddess oil from ages past, long revered.
She is memoristic.  “Nothing clears the mind like basil, it is memoristic.” ~ Jeannie Rose, one of my 20 some teachers along the path to herbal and aromatherapy education.
Basil has proven anti-bacterial qualities, the following is from an article on Pub Med:
Basil can have an antibacterial effect.
Lab studies have demonstrated that basil has antibacterial properties; this may be because of the volatile oils it contains, which include estragole, linalool, cineole, eugenol, sabinene, myrcene, and limonene.
Basil restricts the growth of numerous bacteria, including Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Preclinical studies have also shown that Tulsi and some of its phytochemicals eugenol, rosmarinic acid, apigenin, myretenal, luteolin, β-sitosterol, and carnosic acid prevented chemical-induced skin, liver, oral, and lung cancers and to mediate these effects by increasing the antioxidant activity, altering the gene expressions, inducing apoptosis, and inhibiting angiogenesis and metastasis. The aqueous extract of Tulsi and its flavanoids, orintin, and vicenin are shown to protect mice against γ-radiation-induced sickness and mortality and to selectively protect the normal tissues against the tumoricidal effects of radiation. The other important phytochemicals like eugenol, rosmarinic acid, apigenin, and carnosic acid are also shown to prevent radiation-induced DNA damage. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23682780).
According to Julia Lawless: “Oil of basil may be the best nerve tonic, it clears the head, relieves intellectual fatigue and gives the mind strength and clarity.”
We can see it is good to lift depression and clean the cobwebs that can occlude the light from getting in and lifting the accumulated layers and fatigue that can weigh someone down and make things seem futile.
Its Greek name means “king’s herb.” It was revered in both ancient Greek and Roman times. In India, it is associated with Lord Krishna. From a plant with such a historic and meaningful past, we can expect a profound quality.
It lowers uric acid in the body, higher levels of uric acid are common in those who suffer gout or rheumatoid arthritis.
It can be used (diluted 2% into carrier, blended with other essential oils) to relieve migraines or menstrual cramps.  It has excellent pain relieving qualities and also is an anti-inflammatory.
It is a good choice for earaches, bronchitis and colds.
It is helpful for dyspepsia and nausea. 
It is in ArcAncient’s WiseWoman blend, Happy Belly, as well as in the Muscle Ease and our ‘Pain Reliever’ Salt blend.
As a skin tonic, it clears the skin and is also a tonic to the system, clearing and supportive for the kidneys.
Basil blends well with: Eucalyptus, Geranium, Juniper, Lavender, Lemon, Neroli, Peppermint and Rosemary.
There are basically three different types of Basil used in aromatherapy, it is estimated that there are 50 to 150 species of basil.
We use mainly, Sweet Basil at ArcAncient, because of its efficacy and safer use in Aromatherapy.
You can also dilute basil in an aromatherapy diffusor or add to bath (why we add it to our salt blends.)
DO NOT USE IF PREGNANT!
Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum L. or Ocimum tenuiflorum L.), Sweet Linalool Basil ((Ocimum basilicum) and Tropical Basil. All these types of basil are from the Lamiaceae or Labiatae—Mint Family.
How much does it take to produce basil?
Basil (Ocimum basilicum) 0.02-0.04% (Essential oil yield from plant material, flowering herb)
3500 Kilograms (kg) = 7716.17918 Pounds (lb)

 ​ ArcAncient has selected the very finest bath salts available and we assure you they are the best in the world!  Even our premium USP-grade Ultra Epsom Salt, provides the perfect companion to blend with the highest grade bath salts. All of our salts are all natural and undergo proprietary quality processes to guarantee maximum purity.
To this, we add our premium quality, organic essential oils.  We have perfected a Cold’s and Flu’s blend as well as an extremely yummy detox blend and Pain Relief blend.
The response so far has been incredible, with the most common word used to describe them?  Magical.
As you know, we have had our own health issues, which at one point brought us to death’s door, where we crossed over experienced the love and light of Gd, walked with Jesus in the Garden and asked to return.
A month in the hospital came with a life-threatening case of pneumonia.
It also left us with serious scarring, adhesions and when we fell over in pain 2 years later, another return trip the hospital for further surgeries to repair the muscles, that WERE NEVER SEWN BACK TOGETHER.
We had to find natural remedies to alleviate the pain.  We also had to find natural remedies for recurring bouts of pneumonia and bronchitis.
You are familiar with our essential oils, blends and creams that were the best solution for relief in many ways. 
We also find ourselves in an environment that is full of unnatural contaminants as well as HEAVY METALS.  Minerals and vitamins that once were provided by food sources, air and water (EL-e-ments/Gd Mind) are no longer as profuse as they once were, and many of us are not properly extracting and assimilating even what little is still available.
We are going back to offering bath salts, but we have found optimal blends and salts to provide you with the very highest quality for SORPTION.  {sorp·tion [ˈsôrpSHən] NOUN, chemistry: absorption and adsorption considered as a single process.}
They will both detox and through absorption, provide you with the minerals necessary for a healthy body and mind.
To this, we add our perfected essential oils blends for optimal wellness and health.
  
French Grey Bath Salt
Also known as: Sel Gris, Brittany Salt
Grey bath salt is traditionally hand-harvested in Guérande, France, in the Brittany region. The grey color is indicative of the salt’s natural trace minerals absorbed from its sea origins. Unwashed, unrefined, and additive-free, French grey bath salt maintains all of its health-enhancing nutrients vital to the human body like calcium, potassium, copper, zinc, iron, and others. This salt is low in sodium, and certified organic by Nature et Progrès (France’s organic certifying body).
 
Ultra-Epsom Salt
Also known as: Magnesium Sulfate
Epsom salt is a pure mineral compound of magnesium sulfate in crystal form, so it looks an awful lot like salt. But it has no sodium chloride, which is what salt is.
Even though it isn’t salt, we don’t deny the many time-proven benefits of Epsom salt. A lot of people are magnesium deficient, which can be to blame for a number of maladies including heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, arthritis and joint pain, digestive problems, and chronic fatigue.
A number of factors work against magnesium sulfate if you ingest it. We do not recommend ingesting Epsom salt (unless under the direction of a doctor). So, the very best way to benefit from this mineral is in the form of a bath salt. A dose of Epsom in your bath salts will power it up, and make it extra therapeutic.
Ancient Sea Bath Salt Also known as: Himalayan Bath Salt, Jurassic Sea Salt
Around 50 million years ago, during the formation of the great mountain ranges of today, ancient sea salt deposits were preserved and protected from pollutants by layers of sediment volcanic eruptions. These days, careful, sustainable harvesting unearths some of the finest, most beneficial bath salts available anywhere in the world.
Himalayan bath salts are full of up to 84 valuable trace minerals, giving them a beautiful, natural pink coloring that makes it a perfect option for attractive, clear packaging.
 Camphor Crystals:
Description: Camphor's mentholated, penetrating action makes it a popular addition in pain-relieving salves and ointments, as well as in external preparations for respiratory congestion. It can be combined with Menthol and Eucalyptus oils.  Common use: Muscular aches & pains; sprains; rheumatism; arthritis; inflammatory conditions; inhalation therapy or as topical decongestant for stuffy nose, colds, and other respiratory congestion.
Suggested Directions: FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY. 
Hiwa Kai
Black Hawaiian-Style Sea Salt: A unique Hawaiian-inspired sea salt, Hiwa Kai has a stunning black color and silky texture. This all-natural salt offers the same bold flavor and hearty texture as a traditional sea salt, but with an added beauty and intrigue that’s indicative of gourmet foods. Using a pure, Optically Clean® Pacific sea salt base, Hiwa Kai is created by combining high-quality sea salt with activated charcoal from the shells of coconuts, resulting in this unusual seasoning with its rich, dark color & jagged, hard granular texture. Produced using cutting edge all-natural technologies.
 
Foot Soak: Add about 1 TBSP. to a gallon of hot water (APPROXIMATE, IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE EXACT, FIND WHAT YOU LIKE AS A PERFECT AMOUNT).  The heat will open up the pores for SORPTION.
Bath: Add about 2-4TBSP. to your warm/hot bath.  You can always add more if you like, but you cannot take it back out!  So, add as necessary.  We use the very best essential oils and absolutes available from around the world, organic whenever available.
Colds and Flu’s salt blend, has additional essential oils of: Eucalyptus Globulus and Radiata and other pure essential oils.
Our Detox Blend, contains: White Grapefruit (Citrus Paradisi), Fennel (Foeniculum Vulgare), Parsley (Petroselinum Sativum), Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L) Geranium (Pelargonium Graveolens) and others.
PAIN AWAY blend, contains: Sweet Basil (Oscimum Basilicum), Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), Peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) & other organic PEO’s.

When I came down with pneumonia again, I decided that I was worthy and had a purpose and needed to find an even better way to deal with the bouts that come every other year or so, all starting from the time I died and laid in a hospital bed for almost a month and caught that first terrible bout of pneumonia that almost took me out too.
I was reminded of the elderly couple that I started working on in 2002, who came to me so sick, shuffling their feet into the healing room and him, coughing and coughing…on yet another bout of anti-biotics that was not clearing up his lungs.  I did hot compresses on him, using ArcAncient’s Breathing Easy © every time he came in and they purchased the Breathing Easy and other blends and creams to take home and continue to help themselves with.
I could get him better, but unless I stayed with them and kept repeating that process for him, I could only make it better for a while.  We did manage to keep them alive for another decade and a half.  That is a miracle in and of itself.  I love you Jean and Tom.  RIP.
That grim reminder, made me look into additional healing tools again.  I found the camphor crystals, but they were so expensive, it took a while to make the investment.  Then the salt and clay investigation began again (I used to make bath kits with some nice salt blends in them, but stopped along the way because of all the hurdles I had to get through.)
So, returning to this method, going beyond Epsom salts and the right essential oil blend, opened my eyes once more.  Adding the soaks and the new salt blends did indeed assist my healing at a far more rapid pace.  It blew me away.  Adding the organic tea, local honey, lemon oil in the tea all came together in the new, ‘Colds and Flu Kit’. 
Then, just before the distributor party, I fell about 10 feet down off a ladder.  (Yes, I should not have been up that ladder, especially at my age, but when you get used to having to do things yourself and you have little funds, you do what you got to do!)  I thought I might have broken my hip.  I could not move my right leg, without using my hands and arms to lift it.  My head was pounding and bleeding.  My arm was banging and bleeding too.  I had really done it this time.
So, I had the cold and flu salts sitting on the counter, I added some additional oils and hobbled into the bathroom.  Wow, the instant relief was beyond comforting, because I have no health care…and it scared the hell out of me if I am honest.  I cried into that tub…both because it felt so good, relieving my fear of how bad it might have been, I realized my piriformis muscle was the true culprit of my pain, and perhaps bruised hip bone and maybe a couple cracked ribs.  All of which could heal without surgery.
I got out after a long soak, in which I also was PRAYING AND MEDITATING.  I used about a whole roll on of pain master on my leg and upper thigh, hip and some on my arm, shoulder and foot, which I had also managed to twist.  I applied ArcAncient’s Bone Lover Cream © on my entire body.  I could walk and use my leg, but I still had to lift it with my hands to move it up, or for stairs, etc.
I kept doing this soaking process and applying ArcAncient’s Pain Master © and WiseWoman © throughout the day, by the third day I was able to cut the grass. 
Now we have, the Colds and Flu Kit, the Detox Kit, the Complete Detox Kit (adding the clays and blends, skin tonics and facial oils.)  Three salt blends are available: Colds and Flu, Detox and Pain Relief in small and large jars.  They will go a long way.
In all my years of doing this, even the early years 1994 of the Breathing Easy miracles for myself and others, or the Bone Lover roll on and cream that people did not want to be without, or the Sleep Angel, WiseWoman, etc., and the people who won’t be without those either.  Nothing compares to the responses and thank-you’s I am getting from people who used them…my own experiences in what they do, beyond healing, beyond taking away pain, beyond healing pneumonia…is the shift I feel as the weight is lifted.  As the darkness of the world falls off and I feel as if I can once again…do the work I was called so long ago to do.
So many stories now, of how a ‘shift’ has taken place, ever since someone used the salt soaks and kits.
How it clears the entire house of negative energy.
I am reminded of all that we face in this shifting world now, how the onslaught is daily.  How frightened people, will pour their dark energy upon you, in jealousy, fear, or worse.
Of a world we are witnessing the dramatic changes in, especially anyone born before at least 1980, when everything started to change as I look back.
Of storms that completely wipe out islands and coasts, taking lives and livelihoods with them.  Of ‘the terrible winds’ that come out of nowhere now and are getting worse.
Of the confusion being spread, news sources being questioned to the point that it is becoming more and more difficult to know what is true or fake.  (Jupiter square Neptune enhancing this.)
The one thing that we absolutely MUST HAVE, is integrity.  The more you know the truth inside your own heart, not from a book, or some ‘leader’…but deep inside your own being, your witness self, the clearer things will be, and that does not make it easy, but it helps to lead the way and have that anchor.  I love this earth/heart.  Literally using the ‘salt of the earth’ to cleanse and reconnect to Her.
When I see anyone suffering, it is all I can do not to beg them to let me help them, because I know I can help that cold you can’t get rid of, or the swelling in your legs, or the tingling in your arms and hands, and on and on.
We have to keep detoxing.  It is not an option.  Even just soaking the feet, will help draw out the toxins and absorb over 84 different minerals, another thing most people are deficient in, like magnesium, calcium, etc.  This is just counting one…of the four different salts in the blend, or the essential oil blend that we add to this perfection.
That process is called: Sorption.
This is a power we do have now.  This is the control we do have.
I cannot stress the importance of this enough, and like so much of what I do, I went through the hard times, the pain and suffering, including my own death and return, to share this with you so that you in turn can share this with others.  It is why we have a distributor plan at all.  So more people can experience the amazing gifts of genuine healing tools. 
My heart wants to help people.  Of course, I have always had a healthy dose of creativity and ability to turn dreams into reality that I don’t know what it would be like, to feel different.  To not come up with my own dream?  My own aromatherapy blends?  My own sources and tools?
I am guided to do these things.

  It is not easy, no matter how many gifts you might have, because the world will offer plenty of challenges to develop you even more, to open you up and pour grace upon the planet.   People will take advantage of you, and not give it a second thought.
   
​     Hard way to learn this fable: “The Wolf and the Lamb”:
As a wolf was lapping at the head of a running brook, he spied a stray lamb paddling, at some distance, down the stream. Having made up his mind to seize her, he thought to himself how he might justify his violence.
"Villain!" said he, running up to her; "how dare you muddle the water that I am drinking!"
"Indeed," said the lamb humbly, "I do not see how I can disturb the water, since it runs from you to me, not from me to you."
"Be that as it may," replied the wolf, "it was but a year ago that you called me many ill names."
"Oh, sir!" said the lamb, trembling, "a year ago I was not born."
"Well," replied the wolf, "if it was not you, it was your father, and that is all the same. But it is no use trying to argue me out of my supper." And without another word he fell upon the poor helpless lamb and tore her to pieces.

​I am not a poker player, everything I think comes right out on my very expressive face and we are in a major shift on this planet.  MAJOR.
The world as we once knew it, is quickly disappearing and a new one is on the horizon…but we have to get through this window of time.
All people being aspected in some cases in very exact and hard ways astrologically, are being activated for just this time.
But they are crosses.  Being on that cross is what opened my eyes to see the deeper mystery of the three crosses on Golgotha, Jesus falling 3 X’s with His cross, etc., it is a LEGEND TO INFORM US OF THESE ASTROLOGICAL TIMES AND EXPERIENCES.  I see it first hand with clients, whose charts I am deciphering (yes I went back to reading to assist people again, as I have been asked to ‘come back to serve’ now).
This winter and the end of this year into January, is going to be as tricky as it gets down here.  We will need to detox and keep using genuine tools for healing with authentic people and everything we can to assist each other and ourselves during the coming challenges.  We will need to have our integrity intact or be lost in the oncoming deluges that are coming.
…They are coming….I am only the messenger.
Thank you all for helping me to continue to do the work I came back to earth to finish.   If you can help lighten my burden, it will make a great difference for me…and I thank you for your continued support.

My heartfelt thanks to all of you have remained loyal and our new friends that the universe has brought here.  Thank you for being kind to me, we all need kindness. 
I will surely be able to finish the book and continue to make great products, with integrity the more I find a way through these financial lessons.  People who are loyal to ArcAncient, always say: “these oils are so much different/better than the others I have tried.”…yes, they are…I literally crossed over and came back, in large part…to do this so you would have access to the real deal.
You cannot buy or imitate that kind of authentic magic.
Want some more good news?  At the distributor meeting/clay/salt experience, I told people that by the end of next year, the particle (Saturn) and the wave (Jupiter) would come together and this would happen, via rising above the ‘either/or’ scenario…and moving into the particle wave field, which is the higher option and becomes the dimensional shift…it is on the horizon and look at this article I found!

“We enter earthly life through Jakim, assured that what is there outside in the macrocosm now lives in us, that we are a microcosm, for the word

Jakim means, “The divine poured out over the world is in you.” The other pillar, Boaz, is the entrance into the spiritual world through death.
What is contained in the word Boaz is roughly this, “What I have hitherto sought within myself, namely strength, I shall find poured out over the whole world; in it I shall live.” ~ Rudolf Steiner

Universe is a Garden of Secret Wonders...

“What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.” Mat 10:27
“If thou love to hear, thou shalt receive understanding: And if thou bow thine ear, thou shalt be wise.” ~Sirach 6:33

​The Universe is a garden of secret wonders.  If you look, at any minute she will part her skirt, pull you into her rich soil and whisper secrets to help you find your way home.
At every turn there stand sentries, guardians of the gates and banshees to flood you into the tangled and odiferous bowels of despair and torment; lest you lose sight of the higher and noble calling, the skeleton key that will allow passage.
This is the majestic texture of our world, often in plain sight the grand design arouses the inner visionary in us who knows the way~ if that voice can rise above the din, the decadent and the superfluous sheath that is every bit as real as every layer beneath and below, above and beyond this dimension.  To negate one is to negate all, to negate the very self that yearns to be found, rescued but above all, heard and loved.  Love is a complicated thing and at the same time, like the universe she created, she is a marvel so simple one has only to sit inside her listening and ever-present watchful embrace and let her carry you into bliss.
But here…here is where you may find yourself sleeping….and once again wake on  some precipitous and craggy cliff, with only the crisp air as company, while the mind gallops off in search of itself, and the heart of all that matters waits for its consort to catch up and surrender to her embrace once again.
I am a girl born on the seventh day of the seventh month, one of seven children and whose name begins with the seventh letter in the English alphabet.  My world has never been one as simple as it appeared to be to others.  In youth, I wondered why I must leave the richness of my forested mind, for the more superficial world everyone else wanted to play with.  All of it thrust upon you like a strange car wreck, or an obvious game I had to wake up in, but what would it take?  What special code or learning must I figure out to unlock the treasure map, and have everyone take off their masks, and congratulate me for unraveling the grand play too?
I tell you this in complete honesty.
For the longest time, I peered into eyes, wondered what part of me was not good enough, to be taken in to the grand illusion that everyone was playing.  Why did they act as if no one else knew the secret world that was hidden in the veins of the leaves that danced around us, mesmerizing with brocades of changing colours like swimming chameleons inhabiting the world?
When would everyone else talk about the ‘big people’ who are all lit up but whose appearance only silhouetted the backdrop of the canvas my mind fell into?  Didn’t everyone entertain them and wasn’t it one of the most fulfilling camaraderie’s to experience those who stood tall as trees pour their genuine love in mutual praise as if every choir song wrote itself from this cause?
 
I thought surely that since I had such a tendency for mischief and finding my way into odd adventures that something then must be wrong with me.  Other people somehow weren’t thinking like me, but maybe I was just bad.  I was so bad, that no-one was allowed to share this secret that existed in every page I turned and followed on my adventurous sojourn through life.
Who would discuss the fairy fields I found as surely others did too?  Who else knew about the circle around the trees in the woods that shifted and sprinkled star dust?  Who else entertained the large beings of light that would appear after I prayed which opened the vaults of heaven?  The smiles on their faces and the glint in their eyes infusing me with love and contentment, letting me know that they enjoyed watching me entertain them with my singing and dancing? 
 
Surely once I got one more A, one more gold star, finished first in one more contest, then…. then the game would open its doors and the cast members would reveal their true identity.
 
The sad thing is that one risks losing their freedoms just for mentioning the world that is real and more alive and vibrant than the march of superfluous reality that seems to have seduced the masses into plastic images and celluloid dreams, of contorting the deep forest into packages of exactness whose only hope is to replicate the new and improved image being craftily lighted and cascaded around their thirsty souls.  
 
What a webbing; all sticky and sweetly perfumed again with some replication of the natural bounty that would adorn the temple of our beings with layers of truth; the kind that marches down the halls and lights up the senses with the purpose of being alive.
Why be here at all if the care isn’t taken to wonder?  To take the train on the dark night and wake in the valley of the gods who have been coaxing and guiding us all along?
 
This is my world; it is as it has always been an adventure of strange beliefs and hidden knowledge.  I feel like Moses in the desert, parting the red sea of life; opening the book one living word, one page at a time and learning the meaning I somehow already know.
 
There is magic afoot, it is under every stone and shimmering on the waters….it is dancing on our rooftops and howling in the wind.  It creaks down the halls and breaks down silence until it spills loudly into the room and stands between the moments of disbelief like a lighthouse forming from the mist and gloom.
 
I am yanked back into the strange reality like a naughty schoolgirl, made to play the game with scolding eyes and sometimes worse; while the mystery drips from my veins and disappears into the cracks, waiting for me to rescue the life I was born to live and reveal.
 
This is my attempt to take you in and reveal what sorcerers have been burned alive for sharing, madmen have caught shards of along the way, and stories that hold power have hidden in their pages, if one learns how to listen ~ and has the eyes to see.
 
They stand all around us, sometime alone and more powerfully together; our guardians are rivers of wisdom who symbiotically breathe into us life and we exhale the breath they need.  We need them, they need us.  Excitedly I crept into the canopy of autumnal glory; fiery reds and umbers crisply painting the baby blue skies and the lemon sun drizzling down in shafts of warm surrender.  My heart beating in rhythm, my breath, dotting the air with invisible ink, as the forest shifted and turned, the secret panels opened. It is then, that Her voice grew louder.  The voice of the earth, called by many names, but I know her now, as Mary Magdalene.
Each cracking branch underfoot becomes a lever to the magic code of the great Cathedral.
Can you see?  Can you hear?  Maybe you forgot how to listen?  This book is written in my attempt to help you hear that voice, that voice that will help with your own…
