Today, I'm Grateful for.......
It's time to celebrate the little things.
Gratitude can shift your mindset. What's one thing that you are grateful for today?
What one small thing changed your day or your child's day for the better?
As a parent of a neurodivergent child, it's the little things that make a huge difference.

Loved this from The Kid's The Kids' Bookshop.
It is really important to allow your child to choose their own books, and especially in a format that may suit their needs best.
That may be an Audiobook, a Pop-Up book or a graphic novel/comic book.

Reset In 5 Moment - Sight
Time for a 5 Minute Reset.
Take a moment, notice 1 thing you can see or sense. It may even be something you are holding right now, like a cup or book.
Allow yourself to fully focus on that 1 thing.
What are you noticing about it? Perhaps it's the colour, size & shape? Do you sense shade or light? Is it textured or smooth? Does it look heavy or light?
What else are you aware of?

Reset In 5
Digital Detox time!
Time to turn off your phone, device, or watch or switch them to silent mode and put on "do not disturb".
Take a moment to simply "Be", and begin by noticing all the objects around you.
What are they? Trees or plants outside, pets, or objects on your desk? Perhaps a view in the distance?
Notice their shape, colours, & textures. What else are you aware of?
Turning your attention to your feet (yes).
What do they feel like? What are they on or connected to? What other sensations are you aware of? The sensation of them being in shoes, on carpet or the floor? It's Ok if you can not sense anything, simply be aware of that.
Place, gently your hand on your belly, noticing any rise and fall or internal sounds and movements.
When you're ready, allow yourself to come back to the here and now, go for a walk or get up and stretch before going back to whatever it was that you were doing.
Love & Light

Reset In 5 Moment - Taste
Time for a 5 Minute Reset.
Take a moment, notice 1 thing you can taste or sense in or around your mouth.
Allow yourself to fully focus on that 1 thing.
What are you noticing about it? Perhaps it's the lingering flavour of something you may have eaten or drunk? Is it pleasant or unpleasant? Is it a "light", delicate taste or a strong taste?
Or maybe there is nothing at all. Perhaps it's simply the sensation of saliva or the texture of your teeth against your tongue, inside of your cheeks. Whatever it may be, simply notice.

Reset In 5 Moment - Smell
Yes, it's time for a 5 Minute Reset.
Sometimes, we forget to notice this particular sense, and every so often, it's a lovely way to ground ourselves.
So, take a moment, notice what you may be able to smell in the air around you.
What are you noticing? Perhaps there is no smell at all, or a variety of smells?
Perhaps it's on the clothing that you are wearing? Perfume? Is it soft or strong? Does feel nice or unpleasant?
What else are you aware of? Take a moment to notice one thing about that smell, simply notice.

Reset In 5 Moment - Hearing
Time for a 5 Minute Reset.
Take a moment, notice what you can hear. Just notice what is your sense of hearing is drawn to.
Allow yourself to fully focus on that 1 of the sounds.
What are you noticing about it? Perhaps it's the volume or pitch? Is it loud, soft, rhythmic? Does it sound light or deep? Annoying or pleasant?
What else are you aware of?

Reset In 5 Reminder
If you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious, it's OK to take 5 minutes to stop and reset.
Try this 5 Minute Reset
𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 what you're doing.
𝗣𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 - notice, and acknowledge, what or how you're feeling.
Whatever it is, it's Ok to feel or think this way.......even if you can't quite describe what you are sensing. It might simply be a sense of "yuck" and that's OK.
𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁 - It's nice to place your hand on your heart or your belly, notice the rise and fall of your breath, where ever that may be in your body.
𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲 - notice your breath, allow yourself to take a couple of slow breaths, as deeply as you can, then allow your breath to flow naturally. Just notice.
And, if you feel like it, go and grab a cuppa or step outside for a moment and get some fresh air.
You can do this as many times as you need, whenever you need to.❤️
Self-care needn't take long.

Did you know that the Australian Open, here in Melbourne, has an All Abilities Day?

Why did I start this page? Well, it started quite some time ago, about 15 years or so now, when I first was formally introduced to theses wonderful oils. I had always been interested, and had used essential oils purely for pleasure, usually in an oil burner up until then.
I say formally, as prior to that moment I had had no real education in the use of essential oils. I had just pottered about, choosing oils that smelled good to me, and that made me feel good. As part of my Certificate in Therapeutic Massage course, we were all required to study Aromatherapy. My tiny mind was blown, when I was introduced to the wide variety of applications these oils could be used for! Thanks to the wonderful Sue Cook, who trained with the amazing Robin Minski.
The Aromatherapy course did focus our training around the benefits of using these oils in Therapeutic Massage, teaching us which oil to use for the mood of the client, to help uplift, calm down, refresh, etc., we were taught how the oils could help illness and to injuries to contraindications of oils for certain illnesses, chronic or acute. And what AMAZED me the most was we only used 10 essential oils to do this!
It was inspiring to say the least! It also started me thinking, what about other essential oils? What can they do? So off I went, teaching myself, researching (if you know me, you know I love to research), a bit of trial and error along the way (which is great way to learn).
The oils I used were always Therapeutic grade oils and therefore very costly, and I struggled to find an affordable, high quality product range that I could use and share more often. Then I discovered doTERRA.
Which has led me to here, this new page, dedicated to essential oils, to teach and learn, and hopefully inspire.
