4/23/15 Clary sage, lavender, peppermint, rosemary

After choosing an oil for today, we imagined traveling and coming back in our meditations, and diseases being banished from our bodies.

We watched short videos on lavender and peppermint, and heard a little bit about rosemary and clary sage from doterraeveryday.com.

We had a "tea" of hot water, honey, and lavender, lemon and peppermint, and another with just peppermint.

We filled some of our keychain vials, as this is our last class of introducing oils. 3 more to go, with some fun activities planned!

Please send $3.72 with your student for the keychain. Thank you!

4/9/15 fennel, cilantro, coriander

We had some new music for our meditation and some patchwork ideas for our visualizations.

We saw what fennel looks like - a bulb with stalks & feathery tops - and tastes like!

We had some (not quite done, sorry!) kidney beans & brown rice with cilantro, some honey caramel with fennel (can taste like black licorice), and deviled eggs with the coriander.

Students filled out a chart with some information they wanted to remember about these 3 oils, that they learned from websites and boo.

Time flew by!

4/16/15 Basil, oregano, thyme, marjoram

Our meditation this week was listening to a Depok Chopra track.

We took some time to discuss petrochemicals, free radicals and antioxidants. We covered where they come from, what their in, and what they can cause to happen in our bodies.

We had some basil and thyme leaves to feel and to smell. Some placed the wide basil leaves on their foreheads, and felt its cooling properties. We tasted oatmeal with thyme leaves and thyme oil, millet with basil leaves and basil oil, oatmeal with marjoram oil and millet with oregano.

The time flew by this week!
