Mini Modern Essentials Usage Guide, September 2016, 8th Edition  

If you want a smaller, more condensed and portable reference guide, this is a great one and about $10 cheaper than the hardcover edition above.  

​Read about it here. 

​"The mini Modern Essentials Usage Guide is a softcover, condensed version of the larger, hardcover Modern Essentials: A Contemporary Guide to the Therapeutic Use of Essential Oils.The smaller size and coil binding make this portable reference perfect to carry in a purse or case wherever you go. The usage guide contains the complete "Personal Usage Guide" from the hardcover book (conditions, oils, and applications methods). Condensed sections from the larger book include "Single Essential Oils" (primary uses and application methods) and "The Science and Application of Essential Oils" (introduction, history, chemistry, charts, and proper use).

"(In short, of the 6 major sections in the hardcover Modern Essentials, only 3 sections are contained in the "Modern Essentials Usage Guide," and 2 of those 3 sections are condensed.)"

​Feelings Buried Alive Never Die by Karol K. Truman

This book comes highly recommended by many of my friends, although I've never read it.  It's on my list though!

"Karol Truman presents a complete philosophy of emotional healing and well-being in Feelings Buried Alive Never Die. She tells you not only why you feel the way you feel, but how your feelings all started. She then goes on to explain how you can easily transform undesirable feelings so that they no longer hinder your personal growth. What a gift!"

​Emotions & Essential Oils: A Modern Resource for Healing, 2015 Edition

When I scan someone, I use this book so they can identify the emotional side of the oils that their body is receptive to.

"Essential oils are widely used for their physical health benefits, but few have understood their potential in emotional healing. Emotions & Essential Oils bridges this gap as a user-friendly guide for helping you taking charge of your emotional health. The guide first describes the innate emotional properties of common oils and blends. Then, a reference chart and comprehensive index help you choose oils and blends for a wide variety of emotional states.

"The "Emotions & Essential Oils Wheel" is a great way to quickly reference the emotional properties of oils on-the-go."
