We started out talking about some of the benefits of meditation. Ask your student what s/he remembers! Or, perhaps better yet, what s/he is personally experiencing.
We passed around Roman Chamomile, Helichrysum, Rose lotion, and Jasmine to smell and choose from for use during our meditation. 'Oh, well. Peace' was our way to guide our attention back from distracting thoughts. We practiced putting our attention & intention on feeling our heartbeat, then moving the sensation into our hands (which can help for headaches), then into our faces (redirects bloodflow from the kidneys).
We watched an essential oil intro video for some review and a couple of new facts. We each looked up one of the oils from our meditation in a book and shared something interesting from what we found (like Roman Chamomile having the nickname of ''plant's physician"). Then we saw pictures of blends and their ingredients, including the oils for the day, and smelled the blends which were Deep Blue & Immortelle.
To complete our class, we pulled out some craft supplies, including a few plant stencils.
We missed you Isaac!
