Essence essentials for summer sanity
You know the scene.
It's going to be great .... a fun, family day out but ........
it's about 110 degrees in the car, the traffic jam stretches ahead interminably, Granny kindly dosed the kids with high octane pure sugar cordial while you were packing the car
and now somebody is about to commit fratricide in the back seat.
Eeeeeeeek
Settle  | Time to bring out the essences
Settle - for when you feel rattly & shaky and can't settle down
This combination essence is one of the most calming and grounding essences we have, it's been known to help whole households of screaming people find peace & serenity in double quick time.
The spray version is excellent for traveling and has been used with great success to help children stay calm on long haul flights.
*Keep a spray bottle in the car and spray the inside of the car before every long journey.
*Bring a Settle candle on holidays with you to help your sensitive children settle into their new surroundings
Chill - for when you're boiling up inside
Chill  |
This combination helps people to express what is bothering them in a constructive way rather than allowing the irritation to build up into an explosion.
Chill is a great essence to use in spray form to clear the air after there has been an argument or when there is an *atmosphere* in the car.
Love - for when you feel hurt and angry
Love  |
Holidays can often be the most difficult of times. We set off with impossibly high expectations and end up getting stressed out by the smallest things.
The Love essence will help you remember that love is at the bottom of it all, the glue that holds the family and the universe together.
After a difficult day on the road, put some drops of Love essence into a bath, pour a glass of wine and know that you really are surrounded by Love.
Special offer: order any three combination essences during the month of July, put 'NEWSLETTER' in the comment box and you'll get the Combinations for Kids e-book absolutely free.

Summer dreaming - the art of remembering what you really want to do with your life
|
|
Remember lying on the beach and dreaming that one day you'd be a .............
and then your mummy or daddy or granny or teacher or next door neighbour said 'Don't be silly dear' and we let go of our dream and knuckled down to the serious job of becoming an adult.
"Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them." Henry David Thoreau
How very very sad.
If you do one thing for yourself this summer, do this, remember your dream. While you lie on the beach, splash in the waves or walk in the woods connect with that little you and let yourself dream again.
- Remember what you loved doing.
- Remember what gave you energy.
- Remember what made you laugh.
- Remember what you dreamed you would be.
Why?
because in that dream lies your passion and purpose on the planet, your keys to being happy and full of fun.
So go on, let your imagination rip. You'll come back full of passion and ideas and va va voom.
Essences to help
One of my favourite ways of working with essences is to choose a
bottle daily and sit with the bottle in meditation and see what messages
come up. Of course you can do this with any essence but I find the New Child Series particularly useful for inner child healing. Most of these essences will help you connect with the feelings of the child and also with the fears that stop the child in you doing what you'd love to do.
Here are two that are particularly useful:
CalciteCalcite  |
Made with a piece of clear calcite, full of rainbows. Turned onto it's side, the stone looks like a big dome and gives the feeling of protection from outside influences.
Calcite helps children, and the child in all of us, to believe in and protect our dreams, even when others laugh at us. It does this by strengthening the connection between our head and our heart, so that we can stay tuned into our heart's desire, even when our head is being told that it doesn't make sense.
Hiddenite & Kunzite
Hiddenite & Kunzite  |
People often assume that I use perfect stones to make the essences. Not necessarily. Each stone has it's own story and that can also be part of it's healing pattern. The little piece of Hiddenite (pale green) that made this essence was very misshapen and broken, but Hiddenite is known to be a stone of new beginnings and combined here with its sister Kunzite (pale pink) the message is that no matter how broken you have been, it's possible to heal and re connect with the joy of being a child again.
Special Offer
Boxed Sets of the New Child Series are still available on our website at the old prices. Order a set before August 1st. and put Newsletter in the comment box, and we will give you a further 10% off the already discounted price.
Helpful Books
If you'd like a little help connecting with the little you, then I
really recommend The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron,
on sale at Cygnus books for only Stg 6.99. This is a really
inspirational workbook that will help you transform yourself during your holiday.
