Day 126 Lemons and forgiving

Day 126 Lemons and forgiving

02/03/13

Louise Hay affirmation:   “It is easier for me to forgive than I thought.  Forgiving makes me feel free and light.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:  Make something that can fly.

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Magazine and catalog photos, Matte medium, Tissue paper

Time:  1H:20M

Comments:   Listened to an interesting podcast on Lemon essential oil as I sat down to work on today's collage.  In addition to generally smelling fresh and clean, it has a multitude of health-giving qualities.  It's benefits are both emotional (uplifting and improving concentration) and physical (clearing of toxins in the liver- the seat of anger and unforgiveness).   Forgiving makes me feel free and light, just like the scent of lemon. 

Just an fyi... Lemon's been known to have properties that are:  antitumoral, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, astringent, anti-inflammatory, immune stimulant, diuretic, digestive, expectorant, calming.  Diffusing lemon oil can even clear pneumonia according to Heather A. Howell on the audio program.  Who knew?
