We first chose between Cardamom or Ginger to put in our hands, then our meditation for this Thursday was 3 paragraphs in Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now. We focused on our bodies and envisioned a wave going back and forth from our feet to our heads.
We each chose a different oil to put on a piece of Styrofoam, in order to see the process of petrochemical breakdown in action. They all worked, the citruses working the most quickly and thoroughly, and the tree-based oils (like White Fir) were slowest and seemed to do the most good only once it seeped into the cut edge.
Teacher Nalanie brought us Cardamom tea to taste, and we all enjoyed Ginger flavored shredded cabbage and apple, and Cardamom flavored sliced apples with the tea. (To try at home, remember to mix the essential oil with olive oil for the "coleslaw", and essential oil with water for the apples first so that the flavor can be easily distributed. The coleslaw tastes fresh & looks good for a few days!)
We listened to a recording of a training on the Cardamom, and the students did a great job answering questions about the material along the way! (You may like to ask your student how big the plants get, how many seeds are in each pod, how many days the seeds are allowed to mature, what is unusual about the process of getting the seeds ready, why doTERRA chooses the Guatemalan source over the Indian and African sources, and which body systems it can benefit the most from Cardamom.)
Next up: Geranium, Lemongrass, Vetiver!
