"My name is Tahna Lee and I use essential oils in my family for all of our health issues. I love to empower people with the understanding that essential oils are natural, potent, anti-bacterial compounds with anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and even anti-tumoral properties. In the natural world, essential oils are the "power tools" that help relieve symptoms and disease with our "want relief now" speed and effectiveness.
I have 3 certificates in Aromatherapy and hundreds of classroom hours of learning and teaching all the various uses of essential oils. I am passionate about getting this information out so people know that there are choices when it comes to health care. Essential oils are the fastest growing segment of the health and wellness industry. Attend our class to learn why!"

What is Energy Healing?
Everyone is born into this world with traits in their DNA passed down from all their previous generations. Uncle Bob gave you the big nose and your ears are from Aunt Sarah. Along with physical traits, emotions were passed down too such as difficulties managing anger, or fear of success. Many people struggle most of their lives with negative family traits that were also passed down through the genes. Energy healing can remove that flawed thread from the family tree.
In my search for healing I was led from one new discovery to another until I finally found something that worked for me and that was energy healing. I had a mother who became mentally ill by the time I was 13. My parents divorced and all of this, plus other life difficulties spiraled me into a depression where much of my life I was in and out of. Then the health problems began and some of them were unexplainable. I 
had all these symptoms, but there was no known diagnosis. My search led me to natural remedies and healing techniques. Eventually I was treated by a naturopathic doctor for two years. I got a little better, but something was still amiss. It was then that I learned of emotions that can get trapped inside our bodies and wreck havoc.
Negative emotions that get trapped inside of us can cause health problems, emotional and relationship problems, problems with weight and even money. We all have negative emotions. It is part of the human experience. How do you know if you still have them? Think of a really awful situation or experience that you had in your life. When you remember the event do all those emotions come back? Do you have health problems, especially health problems that are familial? You are very likely to have trapped negative emotions and many that were passed down from your ancestors.
Carolyn Cooper, Founder of Calyco Healing, explains the generational healing as removing that flawed thread out of the family tree. It goes front to back. Back to the past generations and forward to children or future children. It also goes side to side, aunts, siblings, and cousins.
Dr. Bradley Nelson, author of the Emotion Code, talks about how people have heart walls that they build when they are hurt or abused. He believes almost everyone has a heart wall. The walls are built in our energy field by our subconscious mind and within the walls are trapped emotions. When I first learned about this I immediately was reminded of a conference talk given by Gerald Lund. He said, "The heart is a tender place. It is sensitive to many influences, both positive and negative. It can be hurt by others. It can be deadened by sin. It can be softened by love. Early in our lives, we learn to guard our hearts. It is like we erect a fence around our hearts with a gate in it. No one can enter that gate unless we allow him or her to.'
'In some cases the fence we erect around our hearts could be likened to a small picket fence with a Welcome sign on the gate. Other hearts have been so hurt or so deadened by sin that they have an eight-foot (2.5-m) chain-link fence topped with razor wire around them. The gate is padlocked and has a large No Trespassing sign on it." (1)
As I've learned more and more about the energetic systems related to our bodies, the more I feel like my understanding of health and wellness is expanded.
As a mother, this knowledge has blessed my family. My children are excelling and are much more confident. Healing trapped emotions, especially the generational issues has helped us with my autistic daughter especially for her past bedwetting issues.
A mother always wants what is best for herself and her family. To me that means healing the problems as they arrive instead of letting them compound and build until someone becomes a broken person or someone who doesn't feel whole. I certainly don't want to pass down anymore of my negative traits to my posterity. I also refuse to live in darkness of my own making by hanging on to negative emotions.
With emotional healing (energy healing) you can live a whole life; a happier life. As we are taught by Christ, "Men are that they might have joy".
If you are not feeling the joy more often in your life, I highly recommend energy healing. I am now an energy therapist and would love to help you. Another great thing about energy healing is that it can be done over the phone too. Some ask how it works. How does a cell phone work? I don't know, it just does.

Win a free Ray Charles CD
While living in Atlanta for 15 years, I became a big fan of Ray Charles' famous song "Georgia on my Mind." Concord Records recently released his newest collection entitled Rare Genius: The Undiscovered Masters , an incredible collection of newly discovered Ray Charles recordings. The hit album was produced by John Burk, who gave us Genius Loves Company, Charles' 2004 Grammy award winning last album.
After sifting through four decades worth of Ray Charles' unreleased material, John Burk explains "We have so much respect for Ray, and now being the guardians of his legacy, we didn't want to release anything substandard. In the end, I think what we have here is on par with some of his greatest works." And it is.
Although Ray Charles Robinson died in 2004, the world gets to continue to enjoy his great music, thanks to technology. The "sonically enhanced" material creates cool tracks, smooth background vocals from Eric Benet and Keb' Mo' guitar licks. If you love Ray's cool blues, soulful gospel and warm country sounds, you're going to get a kick out this new album.
In addition to the tracks culled from R.P.M. International, the set also includes a surprise from the Sony vaults – a stirring rendition of Kris Kristofferson's "Why Me, Lord?" a gospel flavored duet with Johnny Cash produced by Billy Sherrill in Nashville, recorded in 1981. This one-of-a-kind pearl has gone unheard by the public until now. Contrary to correspondence between Charles and Cash anticipating the release of the song on CBS, the track never saw the light of day for three decades for reasons that remain unknown. Cash takes the lead vocal, while Charles hangs back slightly and delivers hefty backup vocals and equally compelling piano lines. "Ray's presence in the song helps to establish a sort of marriage between gospel, Christian and country music – the kind of thing Ray was so uniquely good at," says Burk.
A great American Jazz legend, Ray's newest CD includes high energy music that gets you moving, as well as romantic ballads that will make you sway and laugh, such as in the song when he questions why he's still talking to a particular woman when he could be doing something else with her, if ya know what I mean.
His spirit is alive and well in this album, a reminder that Ray was truly an American treasure. "The rhythmic and improvisational things Ray did with his vocals were incredibly influential to generations of singers in all genres of music," says Burk. "And he would always get inside the meaning of a lyric and make the listener believe every word, as if he were describing his own experiences. His vocals carried incredible emotion and intensity, even on demo tapes. That's how Ray approached his music; I don't think he knew any other way to do it."
Ray would have turned 80 this year, so I thought it would be fitting to hold a contest in his honor, awarding the winner a copy of this outstanding CD.
To enter the contest, simply answer the 5 questions in the Bella Online forum at:
