1. Silence. As the silent witness in stillness, observe the power of quiet. In silence there is greatness.

Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves. Thomas Carlyle

2. Gentle. Like the repetition of a gentle drop of water, Touch With Oils® goes deeper and deeper.

Nothing so strong as gentleness; Nothing so gentle as real strength. Frances de Sales

3. Resting Heartbeat Rhythm (RHR). Use the slow calming rhythm of a resting heart to balance the autonomic nervous system. The mind and body will follow.

Come unto me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

4. Intention. Set your intention on Being part of the Touch With Oils® Circle of Compassion in Action. This travels from your mind to your heart and through your hands.

When the heart-mind muscle is strengthened, this entrainment connects to Your Inner River of Peace.

5. Settle. With as quiet an environment as possible, settle your receiver in a safe, supported position. Empty your mind with your breath while misting their head and face. This serves to wash and clear the physical and mental terrain-environment.

To settle is to pause, to take the time to be compassionate.

6. Soften. Allow your whole body to release and relax. Soften your hands by visualizing your finger pads as soft mushy paws. Check your posture and body alignment.

Softness ushers in faith and trust. There is a safe place here.

7. Mindfulness. Focus on each technique while being aware of your present energy. Stay in the moment of each motion with the silent, gentle, RHR of compassion.

Being mindful is the best way to be completely present in the moment.

8. Breath. Aroma and spirit travel on the breath, honoring the individuality of each person. Pause and breathe with the receiver 3 times at any time or at the end, in honor of this quiet time you have shared.

Our heartbeat and our breath have a precious and sacred relationship.

9. Giving and Receiving. This sacred synergy of Touch With Oils® … a language of no words: makes no judgments, knows no boundaries and has no limits.

Giving and receiving can become one when either is done with integrity, compassion, and love.

10. Reverence. To Touch With Oils® is to:

Go in with Reverence …Touch with Compassion … Come out with Reverence.
