One of the most meaningful journeys Gary Young, the founder of Young Living Essential Oils, took was a trip to the pyramids in Egypt. He was able to observe the hieroglyphics on the walls of Egyptian temples and burial chambers. The ancient papyrus found in the Temple of Edfu contained medicinal formulas for fragrances and beneficial formulas used by alchemists and priests. Some oils were used as incense before ritual ceremonies. This was the first time he discovered that the people of the time blended essential oils for various purposes.
During the time of Christ, the Egyptians collected essential oils and stored them in alabaster jars, sealed for protection. In 1992, when King Tut’s tomb was opened, over 50 alabaster jars of essential oils were discovered along with 50 liters of various oils. When tested, the oils were found to be just as vital, despite the passage of time. Further adventures led Gary to learn more about how the Christians used many essential oils.
He learned that caravans on the Frankincense Trail imported and exported essential oils as far as China. Essential oils were mixed with olive oil to make a salve for the disciple’s feet when they traveled to preach the gospel. In addition, the oils were used as monetary exchange. They were also used for fumigation, anointing, religious rituals, medicinal purposes, and burials. Finally, the oils were used on animals and livestock.
These adventures influenced Gary Young to formulate essential oil blends. No one in the industry was doing this at the time. Others simply sold individual oils. Gary made a personal blend for himself and took it to France and shared it with colleagues. They were not able to figure out what the oil was because Gary had mixed single oils together.
Abundance™ was the first blend Gary made for the Young Living members. He believed that prosperity also meant perfect health. Everyone could hardly wait to use it. The intention behind this blend was to create a mindset of abundance, so that we would have more than enough for ourselves and to help others. Young Living members developed a unique practice: they would dip a toothpick into the Abundance™ oil and dab it on letters related to their business communications and checks sent with payment to others.
In another example, there were two ladies in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho who owned a gift shop. During the tourist season, however, the pedestrians just walked by the shop even though the door was open. Subsequently, these ladies attended a presentation where Gary introduced the Abundance blend and shared how to use it. After hearing this lecture, the ladies added a few drops to a diffuser in their store. The fragrance wafted out the door. In no time at all, the shop was full of people.
The Abundance™ blend has selected oils that exemplify the true energy of wealth. All the components magnify the vibrations of the law of attraction to generate prosperity. Gary Young combined his knowledge of historical records with what he had learned through visiting places with a tradition of essential-oil use. He was able to create a blend with the vibration of joy, empowerment, health enhancement, and a prosperous mind set. The corresponding essential oils for this energy are: Myrrh, Cinnamon Bark, Frankincense, Patchouli, Orange, Clove, Ginger, and Spruce.
