5/7/15 Games & Hand Scans

We started off our class talking about perception, specifically, the difference between a 'lack, pain & struggle' belief system and one of 'joy, ease & abundance'. Our meditation was on seeing the 'contract of the first belief system torn up & destroyed, then beginning anew in joy, ease and abundance.

Teacher Nalani put together a great quiz for us on a slideshow. The pictures were beautiful, and it was fun for us to know many of them right off, and it was fun to see some new pictures too! There were 3 hints with each plant picture, to remind us of some of their great uses and attributes.

In pairs, students played tictactoe with groups of oils which they smelled and read about for each one they played.

A Zyto Compass hand scanner was set up and the students each experienced it (similar to biofeedback). I can email the results out in the next few days.

Please send a picture of your child in to Leiloni today! (We forgot to get a class picture. I did get Sydney.)

Also, please remember keychain payments!

Thank you!
Teacher Liesl

4/30/15 3rd to last day in class!

We've had fun talking about bubbles this semester! After discussing how we can always imagine a protective bubble around us wherever we go (whether it's like Violet's in The Incredibles, or the travelers' in Oz, or we just envision our own around us - even having angels 'zip up' the back), we've realized other bubbles are around us. In a previous week, we talked about what the earth would look like without its bubble (the atmosphere), and this week, we talked about the physical bubble the womb makes for us as we're developing fetuses. See if you can discover any others!

Everyone was able to choose any oil they wanted, out of all available, for our meditation. Then we got comfortable and listened to a song. The song addressed a question we all have at some time or another: why doesn't God do something to alleviate the suffering around us? The answer: He did! He created us! We discussed this some, talking about what we can do to help others. We began to discuss a phrase in the song that wonders if we've become "angels of apathy"... we didn't get very far there before too many distractions pulled us into something else. Try discussing that with your child!

We spent the rest of class time making and creating - just what that was, parents will have to wait and see. I have to say, that was the first time I tried the recipe and I am impressed! I want to give more details, but to protect the secret, I'll have to just say that it worked very well!

3 things I'd like to give reminders about:

Please remember to tightly close lids when you open bottles in class (my car was very fragrant all Thursday evening and into the next day; I don't think it was just the sample we tried in class!)

Please bring the small portion to cover the cost of your keychain (all other materials are out of my pocket, including the oils that are going into the keychains!)

Please leave personal electronics for time outside of class, and FOCUS (we only have less than 2 hours together left and lots of things to fill the time with!)

This has been a fun class for me!
