<<94>> workshops with people who love the oils

<<97>> and

<<97>> instruments and yeah love to take care

<<101>> of

<<101>> themselves that's a little bit about me

<<104>> so kim would you introduce yourself yes

<<107>> hi it's very nice to be here with you um

<<110>> my name is kim lahaye

<<112>> i am living in germany since 12 years

<<115>> but i'm

<<115>> originally canadian i'm a mother of four

<<119>> boys

<<119>> they are eleven nine almost seven and

<<123>> almost four

<<124>> i'm also a yoga teacher a health coach

<<127>> and i've been working with doterra for

<<129>> almost a year now

<<131>> um the oils have been a very big part of

<<135>> my life and the life of my children

<<137>> and we've really incorporated them in

<<139>> our daily lives

<<141>> and i really want to share with you how

<<144>> you can

<<144>> easily incorporate them in your life to

<<146>> help your children

<<149>> feel more centered calmer more

<<151>> self-confident

<<153>> and also just to bring a higher quality

<<156>> in their lives

<<157>> and this is something that's very dearly

<<159>> to me and i also use the oils of course

<<161>> in yoga

<<162>> and also in meditation and i also do

<<165>> this with my children at home

<<166>> so my plan is just to share with you

<<168>> what we do and how you can easily

<<171>> um do some of the same things

<<174>> that sounds really great so before you

<<178>> step into sharing your daily habits with

<<181>> your children i'm going to talk a little

<<183>> bit about how

<<184>> i do mindfulness and meditations

<<188>> with children at my work

<<191>> so i have been working with music in

<<193>> kindergarten

<<194>> and teaching children from 8

<<198>> to 18 for many many years

<<201>> but i have been diving into the

<<205>> meditation part of children in

<<207>> kindergarten for

<<209>> maybe three or four years now

<<212>> because i could see that the children

<<215>> really needed

<<216>> the rest during the day and

<<219>> you know the little ones they maybe

<<222>> sleep

<<223>> during the day but the older children

<<225>> they keep playing and playing all day

<<227>> long

<<228>> and many of the children were actually

<<231>> exhausted

<<232>> so i wanted to share with them how to do

<<236>> meditations relaxations applying

<<239>> breathing

<<240>> and just use maybe one oil

<<244>> and help them to relax during the day

<<247>> and the benefits of doing this would be

<<252>> that they could of course have this

<<254>> relaxation

<<255>> but when the parents came late at that

<<258>> day

<<259>> the children would be still happy and

<<262>> full of energy

<<263>> instead of really tired and ready to go

<<267>> home and just relax

<<269>> so what i did i um i had this um

<<274>> like a a little hour of um

<<277>> of the music with the children he had

<<280>> some songs and

<<282>> music activities and maybe playing some

<<284>> instruments

<<286>> and for me one of the

<<290>> biggest goal was to make them move and

<<293>> sing

<<294>> and then have this good relaxation

<<296>> afterwards

<<298>> so they would lie in a circle and we

<<301>> have this

<<303>> we call it lying in pizza so this is

<<306>> liberative

<<307>> because when you say everyone in pizza

<<310>> the children would lie in a circle and

<<313>> they would put their feet in the middle

<<315>> and every child was a slice of pizza so

<<319>> everyone could understand pizza

<<320>> [Laughter]

<<322>> so then they were lying there and i

<<324>> would go around

<<325>> and usually i will i would choose a

<<329>> lavender

<<330>> and i take this water bottle and give

<<333>> them some oil in their hand

<<336>> and they would just rub their hands

<<337>> together and lie on their back

<<339>> and breathe in their oil

<<343>> so then we incorporated the breeding and

<<346>> the oils

<<347>> and while they were doing this i will

<<351>> either sing some songs for them or

<<354>> i could take them on a little in a

<<357>> journey or like a

<<359>> visualization yeah they could really

<<362>> you know because if you just tell the

<<364>> children to close their eyes and just

<<366>> be still they won't do that no they

<<370>> won't

<<370>> no so their thoughts would go or they

<<373>> would look at each other and they would

<<375>> be

<<376>> restless in a way so they need guidance

<<380>> so then i would take them on a journey

<<382>> and i have this really nice

<<384>> meditation that i learned from

<<387>> something called maybe yoga kit okay

<<391>> so this is the i don't know if you have

<<393>> this in germany

<<394>> yet but this is a

<<397>> yoga uh it's a light version of

<<401>> kundalini yoga

<<403>> and in this mediocre case they have this

<<407>> beautiful meditation where the children

<<410>> jumps on a little cloud okay

<<413>> and the cloud takes the child up in the

<<416>> air and they can see how the houses get

<<418>> smaller

<<419>> and and the cloud takes them on a little

<<422>> journey

<<422>> and we talk about what they see on the

<<425>> ground and you know

<<427>> so we have a little journey and then we

<<428>> go back

<<430>> to the house and to the room and down to

<<432>> the floor and

<<433>> they can land on their back again so

<<436>> it's

<<436>> like nice and journey and you can put in

<<439>> whatever you want in this little

<<442>> trip on this on this cloud and if the

<<445>> parents um

<<446>> want to use something like this can they

<<448>> find it online the story that they can

<<450>> read or i think it's only available for

<<454>> those who

<<455>> actually do the teacher training for

<<457>> mediocre kids or if you join

<<459>> uh made yoga kids okay class

<<462>> yeah okay so so the the

<<466>> most important thing is just to give

<<468>> them a story that they can kind of

<<470>> go into and kind of just close their

<<473>> eyes and

<<474>> do this visualization together so

<<477>> you can use your imagination but i

<<479>> really like this

<<480>> picture of the cloud coming into the

<<483>> room and

<<484>> tell the child to jump on and then they

<<486>> just take off it's so beautiful and

<<489>> you know the feeling of sitting on a

<<490>> cloud

<<492>> yes of course i'm almost going off right

<<494>> now

<<495>> i get the chills when i talk about it so

<<497>> it's like you just

<<498>> feel very light and you just oh it gets

<<501>> excited of what you need

<<503>> on this journey so i can really

<<506>> recommend trying this uh with your

<<509>> children or even with yourself

<<511>> yeah yeah you can go on a little journey

<<516>> that's very nice yeah so that this is

<<518>> just one of the the way how

<<520>> i how i use meditation and oils and

<<523>> music from the children

<<525>> okay so i don't know kim would you like

<<528>> to share some of your

<<530>> your experiences yes yeah definitely i

<<533>> actually wanted to mention to you that

<<534>> when you were talking about

<<536>> um why you bring in a peaceful time for

<<539>> children because i went to

<<541>> a seminar it was a weekend about a

<<543>> relaxation

<<544>> um how to bring relaxation back into

<<547>> your system because

<<548>> basically as a small child you are

<<551>> automatically every 90 minutes

<<554>> taking a break if you watch children

<<555>> under 2 years old they play they play

<<557>> they play but almost every 90 minutes on

<<559>> the clock

<<560>> they will lay down and kind of daydream

<<562>> just look at the sky

<<563>> or just go in their own world where it

<<565>> brings their nervous system back down

<<568>> and what happens is as we get older

<<570>> especially with technology and sports

<<572>> and all these different activities that

<<574>> we are

<<574>> all working on overdrive and all in a

<<577>> very high

<<579>> yeah stressful situation for the body

<<581>> even if it's things we enjoy

<<583>> and the seminar was really about being

<<585>> aware that every 90 minutes even if you

<<588>> just take

<<588>> one or two minutes to do a breathing

<<590>> exercise

<<591>> to reset your nervous system back down

<<594>> to neutral

<<595>> and so when you say that it's it's very

<<597>> true because if i observe my children

<<599>> and i see at kindergarten it's different

<<601>> than it is at home

<<602>> when i pick up my little one he's

<<604>> totally exhausted and lets out all his

<<606>> emotions and i'm sure a lot of parents

<<608>> go through that where they're just

<<610>> crying and they're never happy and it's

<<612>> just and you say well what happened to

<<613>> my child it's like a button they press

<<615>> because they let out all the stress of

<<617>> the whole day pretty much

<<619>> and i think when we incorporate these

<<621>> things where we teach them how to reset

<<623>> their nervous system

<<624>> even without telling them these terms it

<<627>> becomes automatic for them without

<<629>> us actually having to um make them do

<<632>> it also older and then as you grow up as

<<634>> an adult then you also have it in your

<<635>> body without

<<636>> um without ever pushing yourself to that

<<639>> limit um and i think so it's very

<<641>> important

<<641>> what you say how you do it with them

<<643>> because i think it would be very

<<644>> beneficial for for everyone really to

<<647>> reset that button and to take a step

<<649>> down

<<650>> you know so i'm really really thankful

<<652>> to hear what you have to say

<<654>> because it also tells me because i get

<<656>> also in the movement of

<<658>> oh my goodness why is he complaining so

<<660>> much and you know but it's

<<662>> of course they are on overdrive from

<<664>> everything going on in their life

<<665>> you know and yeah so and actually what

<<669>> happens is they

<<670>> if they just go and go and go they they

<<673>> finally they

<<674>> they can't actually feel what they

<<675>> really need

<<677>> yeah and that's similar for us as well

<<679>> if you just

<<680>> go and go and we don't take any breaks

<<682>> and go

<<683>> inwards and kind of listen to our body

<<685>> what we need

<<686>> yeah then you just get frustrated and

<<688>> that's what happened to children who

<<690>> don't have these breaks

<<691>> during the day exactly they are just

<<693>> like

<<694>> yeah you know just totally frustrated

<<696>> and the parents

<<698>> can't tell what they actually need but

<<700>> what they needed was the rest

<<702>> during the day exactly um

<<705>> yeah i mean for me like when i think of

<<707>> my family and my

<<708>> mindfulness for my children is really um

<<712>> yeah i try to incorporate that they

<<714>> learn

<<715>> just very simply basic is to listen to

<<718>> their body

<<718>> and also to understand themselves and

<<720>> have understanding for others who are

<<722>> maybe different from them

<<724>> um and because i have four boys it's

<<726>> very interesting to see because you

<<727>> think okay both the same parents and

<<729>> then you have

<<730>> four of the same gender but they are

<<732>> actually very very different people

<<734>> and through my children i've learned

<<736>> also that with the oils you really have

<<738>> to play around to see

<<740>> which oil is best for which child and

<<742>> it's not

<<743>> one oil is best for every child so what

<<746>> we do

<<746>> um every morning when they wake up

<<748>> everyone has a diffuser in their room so

<<751>> um when they wake up what i do is i

<<753>> don't i give them enough time first of

<<755>> all in the morning so they're not

<<756>> stressed out and they're not rushing

<<758>> through their day so i feel like

<<760>> starting off their day already in a more

<<761>> relaxed

<<762>> environment is um very important and

<<765>> they often have a couple of oils next to

<<767>> them and the oils that work for them

<<769>> for my youngest child i use a lot of the

<<771>> child's collection and for the other

<<773>> ones they have some oils that they

<<774>> already like

<<775>> and i have them smell them and then

<<777>> whatever they feel

<<778>> is the oil that's really calling them is

<<780>> the oil that they'll take a drop in

<<782>> their hand and rub them together

<<784>> and just take a half a minute to breathe

<<786>> it in through their hands

<<787>> so this is kind of like how we gently

<<790>> start off the day

<<791>> and so they've centered themselves

<<793>> they're not coming out of bed rushing

<<795>> um and then i give them really their

<<797>> time and say listen you have an hour

<<799>> come down whenever you're ready and

<<801>> we're downstairs in the living room so

<<804>> i go downstairs when i wake up and i put

<<806>> on the diffuser

<<807>> and i usually have a citrus oil in there

<<809>> in the morning to uplift the environment

<<812>> and when we need a little bit more

<<813>> energy then i might do a citrus oil and

<<814>> peppermint

<<815>> um they all come down and we always

<<818>> drink all of us a big

<<819>> glass of citrus oil water to hydrate

<<822>> from the night of not um drinking

<<823>> anything

<<824>> and then they have a healthy breakfast

<<826>> and we just kind of do it with more ease

<<829>> before they go off to school we also

<<831>> often talk about if there's any oils

<<832>> they want to bring with them at school

<<834>> if there's an exam coming up they might

<<835>> bring thinker with them

<<837>> um or if i notice one of the kids is you

<<840>> know a little bit on edge then i might

<<843>> rub some oils under their feet for

<<845>> example

<<845>> study from the kids collection or calmer

<<848>> just to make them a little bit more

<<850>> grounded or even balanced

<<852>> um then they go off to school and they

<<854>> have their day

<<855>> and after school when they come home for

<<857>> their snack we always

<<859>> all sit together at the table and talk

<<861>> about a highlight of our day what we are

<<863>> thankful for

<<865>> and also um what we did that might have

<<868>> made someone else happy

<<869>> so so i want them to really bring their

<<871>> focus on

<<872>> how are you being with other people

<<876>> um and this is for me a type of

<<879>> meditation where they really sit there

<<880>> and think about

<<881>> what is important to them and what have

<<883>> they done to help other people

<<885>> um and i always often ask them they get

<<887>> turns because everything has to be fair

<<889>> with children

<<890>> and i'll ask them okay what should we

<<892>> put in the diffuser this afternoon and

<<893>> so they each get a turn and then they'll

<<895>> decide okay

<<896>> today i feel like doing this or if you

<<898>> see somebody's getting a little bit of a

<<899>> cold maybe we'll put on guard also in

<<901>> the diffuser

<<902>> um and so then it starts off also the

<<904>> afternoon a little bit

<<906>> calmer before they go on to their next

<<908>> activities and reset their system

<<910>> and be just more mindful into going into

<<912>> the next activity

<<914>> and then comes dinner and um yeah i mean

<<917>> with dinner we also always take time to

<<920>> see what's on our plate and also really

<<921>> be thankful for what's there

<<923>> because um i mean half of my family is

<<926>> vegan and the other half still eat some

<<928>> meat

<<928>> which is for me also okay because i feel

<<930>> like every person is different and you

<<932>> also have to listen to your body but you

<<934>> have to also be

<<935>> present and mindful of what you're

<<936>> eating and maybe also thankful even to

<<938>> the plants that are on your plate um

<<940>> and i feel like by bringing these little

<<942>> tiny things in their lives that they're

<<945>> just more aware of their environment and

<<947>> about how they affect and how their

<<949>> decisions also affect

<<950>> um the collective i could say um

<<954>> and then at dinner time we also discuss

<<956>> about any things that might have

<<957>> happened throughout the day

<<959>> that they feel like they need help with

<<961>> or

<<962>> um something that may be with their

<<963>> brothers would have bothered them so

<<965>> they can share and discuss that together

<<967>> and that we find a solution together and

<<969>> of course there's moments where there's

<<971>> fighting or somebody getting hurt and i

<<973>> also then

<<974>> reach for the oils because often when

<<976>> they are hurt

<<977>> it's more the emotions coming out and

<<979>> it's more that they need to first

<<981>> calm their emotions so i always um

<<984>> before no matter what injury happens i

<<986>> always reach for calmer

<<987>> and i always rub it behind their ears

<<989>> and behind their neck

<<990>> and even in their hands so they can

<<992>> first breathe it in and then we

<<994>> go to the problem of the injury or

<<996>> whatever it is emotionally

<<997>> um so calmer is a big a big oil in our

<<1001>> daily life

<<1001>> um and of course i mean i don't know if

<<1004>> you want to go through the the kids set

<<1006>> now um just well you are you are halfway

<<1010>> through the kids collection

<<1011>> that's sorry that's beautiful yeah i

<<1014>> mean i can also just

<<1016>> finish up my day so basically then comes

<<1018>> the dinner and then

<<1019>> in the evening um we always have the

<<1021>> same routine everyone showers or takes a

<<1023>> bath often all four of them go in the

<<1024>> bath together

<<1026>> even though there's still a big age

<<1027>> difference they're very close

<<1029>> um and afterwards we do the same thing

<<1031>> with the diffuser we look and everyone

<<1032>> has a diffuser in the room and

<<1034>> depending on what's going on and

<<1036>> depending on what they need then we

<<1038>> make a beautiful mix in the diffuser and

<<1041>> i really notice that when they have a

<<1042>> diffuser next to their bed

<<1044>> they fall asleep just so much faster and

<<1047>> sleep

<<1047>> way deeper um one of my children

<<1050>> which i really wanted to share with you

<<1052>> is because obviously the typical

<<1054>> diffuser in the evening you might think

<<1056>> is lavender or air

<<1057>> to help them breathe um but my one child

<<1060>> has a lot of

<<1061>> security issues and he had many years

<<1064>> where he needed us to hold his hand

<<1066>> almost for an hour until he fell asleep

<<1068>> which was also

<<1069>> very exhausting for us until i found um

<<1071>> siberian fur

<<1073>> this is an oil that's maybe not typical

<<1075>> for children but

<<1076>> it's something that really really gives

<<1079>> security it's

<<1080>> very grounding and this is really my son

<<1083>> sami's oil and we always put it in his

<<1085>> diffuser now actually i've adapted it

<<1087>> also in my

<<1088>> diffuser routine and it really helps him

<<1091>> completely feel secure and taken care of

<<1093>> and really

<<1095>> yeah protected so that's kind of my

<<1097>> routine what i do with the kids

<<1100>> um yeah thank you i hope a lot of

<<1103>> parents watch this because it's really

<<1105>> nice

<<1106>> yeah thank you yeah i think it's just

<<1109>> it's for me it's i mean it's definitely

<<1111>> a passion of mine to be a mother

<<1113>> um it's definitely one of my

<<1116>> probably my priority before everything

<<1118>> else i mean i have been a mother now for

<<1121>> 11 years and it's just amazing to see

<<1124>> how kids are sponges and they're so open

<<1127>> for everything

<<1128>> and the what you can introduce anything

<<1130>> in your children's lives and they will

<<1132>> be open

<<1133>> and that's why i think the younger you

<<1134>> start the better it is because they're

<<1137>> just going to just adapt this into their

<<1138>> daily lives and go out and be better

<<1140>> people

<<1141>> into the world and maybe we can as a

<<1143>> collective get to where we want to be

<<1145>> into a more caring environment

<<1147>> and a less um more reflective

<<1150>> environment

<<1151>> um because i think we all just need to

<<1153>> take a little bit more time to reflect

<<1154>> what do we need what do others need

<<1156>> how does this person feel um and this is

<<1159>> all part of

<<1160>> i think a mindful childhood um yeah

<<1163>> yeah and also the importance of

<<1166>> self-care and self-love

<<1168>> yes i think if we if we have that it's

<<1172>> easier to be good to other people and

<<1174>> you also talk about

<<1175>> the importance of being good to someone

<<1177>> else

<<1178>> exactly it's funny that you say that

<<1180>> because my friend just told me that she

<<1182>> asked her son

<<1183>> who who is one of the who do you love

<<1185>> the most in the world and he said his

<<1187>> mom

<<1187>> his dad and he mentioned some of his

<<1190>> friends and he said oh yeah and of

<<1191>> course myself

<<1193>> you know and i thought that was so

<<1195>> beautiful yeah

<<1197>> because we need to love ourselves you

<<1199>> know absolutely

<<1200>> yeah so it's really it's just and this

<<1203>> boy is three

<<1204>> you know three years old three years old

<<1206>> yeah so i think sometimes we

<<1208>> sell our our children short because we

<<1210>> think oh they're just children but no

<<1212>> they actually are

<<1213>> quite wise you know and we can learn a

<<1215>> lot from them

<<1216>> yeah so when all the children when they

<<1219>> learn to talk

<<1221>> they can say i love me then we have come

<<1224>> really fast

<<1225>> yeah exactly yeah that's good

<<1228>> wow okay so i really want to try this

<<1232>> very far with my boys because they uh

<<1235>> the oldest is 11

<<1236>> and the youngest is seven now but they

<<1238>> really

<<1239>> they have to sleep in the same bed and

<<1242>> they really want me to stay there until

<<1244>> they sleep

<<1245>> yeah so i think siberian fur would be a

<<1247>> good choice for them to feel

<<1249>> safe even though i'm not there exactly

<<1253>> yeah definitely try it i'm anxious to

<<1255>> hear how it goes

<<1257>> so kim do you want me to share some of

<<1260>> the other

<<1260>> oils to the kids collection yeah that

<<1263>> would be great so you talked about

<<1265>> already the

<<1266>> i have it here i put

<<1269>> it's a little messy but here's the kids

<<1273>> collection and i put some other oils

<<1274>> that i would recommend

<<1277>> on the other side of the bag because the

<<1279>> hips collection comes in this

<<1281>> nice bag they can put it in their

<<1285>> backpack yeah and you already mentioned

<<1288>> calmer

<<1290>> which i also use before bedtime with my

<<1294>> especially my voice day

<<1295>> like this we also tried peace for a long

<<1298>> time but then the kids collection came

<<1300>> and we had used peas for a long time but

<<1304>> then we

<<1306>> started to use karma instead so i think

<<1309>> this is a good oil for them to have a

<<1312>> good sleep

<<1313>> during the night and actually the

<<1316>> steady oil plant from kids collection

<<1320>> is a more grounding plant which also is

<<1323>> a good idea before sleep

<<1325>> yeah that's true so either if you go out

<<1328>> in the grass and

<<1330>> they're fit you can have some grounding

<<1333>> there and you can also

<<1335>> apply grounding oil from um

<<1338>> at the blend from kids collection so

<<1341>> also if they are kind of

<<1343>> hyper or you know really high up

<<1347>> steady would be a good choice to to

<<1350>> calm down and be more grounded

<<1354>> and there is also oil band called brave

<<1357>> and if you don't have the kids

<<1359>> collection you might notice that there

<<1361>> is these

<<1362>> little do you have this skin on your

<<1364>> yeah

<<1365>> yeah i do that's why they can hang them

<<1366>> on their school bag yeah

<<1368>> yeah yeah it's easy to do yeah

<<1372>> i realized that if i put it on the

<<1374>> bottom if they stay

<<1376>> they stay uh they see better better yeah

<<1379>> yeah yeah you're right so we also have

<<1382>> grave

<<1383>> and we use this when children are going

<<1386>> to

<<1387>> like now my oldest daughter she started

<<1389>> at a new school

<<1391>> and i told her that brave would be a

<<1393>> good idea to bring to her first

<<1395>> day at school so she did and

<<1398>> she is actually really brave anyway but

<<1403>> and then there is stronger which is kind

<<1406>> of

<<1406>> uh have the same benefits like on guard

<<1411>> so but the point with the kids

<<1414>> collection

<<1414>> is that all of these oils are they have

<<1417>> like a milder smell

<<1419>> yeah so because sun god could be a

<<1422>> little bit strong for some children

<<1423>> my children like on god but for some

<<1426>> it's too

<<1427>> strong or intense so stronger

<<1430>> is like a mind mind version of on god

<<1434>> but we actually used it together with on

<<1436>> god so

<<1437>> it was a tip by god so i applied both on

<<1440>> god

<<1441>> and um stronger on the spine of the

<<1445>> children

<<1446>> so and you also mentioned thinker kim

<<1449>> yes so this is the focus blend from kids

<<1451>> collection

<<1452>> and uh so especially my older son he has

<<1456>> some he has this challenge of

<<1458>> concentrating at school so i all

<<1461>> every day i put this in his neck

<<1465>> and i put it in her hand so he can also

<<1467>> smell the oil

<<1469>> yeah i think it's important to to smell

<<1472>> the oils

<<1473>> as well as applying them

<<1476>> yeah yeah definitely a good combination

<<1479>> but i find

<<1480>> all of the kids collection smells really

<<1482>> nice and really mild

<<1484>> and i actually use it a lot on myself me

<<1486>> too

<<1487>> so and we all have this little

<<1490>> child inside of us so we have to nurture

<<1493>> that as well

<<1494>> yeah so so maybe we could have like an

<<1496>> intention that now i nurture my inner

<<1498>> child

<<1503>> so um but i have some other oils as well

<<1507>> the side of the kids collection that i

<<1509>> would just like to mention

<<1510>> and that is uh in the morning

<<1513>> you talked about you put the fuser on in

<<1516>> your boy's room and that is really

<<1518>> beautiful

<<1519>> and what i do i i go into my boys

<<1522>> especially boys because they have their

<<1523>> bedroom next to mine

<<1525>> okay and they really love to sleep

<<1529>> so i actually put balance on their

<<1532>> ears and i put it in my hand and i just

<<1535>> say breathe and they breathe in

<<1537>> and it's like that's beautiful

<<1541>> yeah and they open their eyes and are

<<1544>> ready to

<<1545>> to wake up no wonder they want to sleep

<<1547>> with you

<<1549>> you're such a nice mom thank you

<<1552>> i think that is what i want to share you

<<1555>> already mentioned seafood's point so

<<1558>> so this is also a favorite in my house

<<1561>> and my oldest

<<1563>> child my daughter she has her own oil

<<1565>> collection

<<1566>> and actually most of the oils in her

<<1569>> room

<<1570>> is ticus oil okay she's really into this

<<1573>> uplifting uh feeling of the speaker's

<<1577>> voice

<<1578>> so even though she's a really happy

<<1581>> positive

<<1582>> and funny child she loves this uh

<<1586>> this uplifting feeling of secret yeah

<<1589>> that's what i think is great is children

<<1590>> actually know what they need

<<1592>> you know i think that when they smell it

<<1594>> and they're drawn towards it this is

<<1596>> something that they

<<1597>> might need for you know um for us i just

<<1600>> wanted to quickly mention

<<1601>> and then of course there's deep blue

<<1602>> which is a little bit stronger but

<<1604>> my older children when it comes to

<<1606>> anything muscular um when they have

<<1608>> any type of yeah really sore muscles

<<1611>> from all the sports

<<1612>> they do then they love this um so we

<<1614>> often do a massage with it and what's

<<1615>> nice about the oils

<<1616>> is it's also a way to connect with your

<<1618>> children i feel like

<<1620>> it's uh it brings really a moment of

<<1622>> peace brings them down

<<1624>> connects you through massage or just

<<1626>> breathing together and

<<1628>> already this connection um really is

<<1631>> a big step in the right direction i

<<1633>> think with your children

<<1635>> yeah um and the oils really just help

<<1637>> you

<<1638>> regularly connect with your kids whether

<<1640>> it's a foot massage rubbing the oils

<<1642>> under the feet or on the spine

<<1644>> or just breathing in together i think

<<1646>> that um

<<1647>> this is really the goal for me with the

<<1649>> oils and the children

<<1650>> um that we have a deeper connections i

<<1654>> mean that's what i'm looking for i'm

<<1655>> looking for

<<1656>> in my life deeper connections with my

<<1658>> children and with the people around me

<<1660>> um and i really can thank doterra to

<<1662>> help me

<<1664>> achieve that in a much smaller way

<<1667>> yeah also helps the children to be more

<<1669>> aware of their self and their bodies

<<1672>> yeah and that is also so beautiful yeah

<<1675>> yeah so thanks to doterra yeah

<<1680>> well i think i do have anything else to

<<1682>> to add to

<<1683>> to our talk actually i think we uh

<<1686>> managed to

<<1687>> we mentioned a lot of good stuff that i

<<1690>> hope that

<<1691>> those are watching would like to

<<1694>> try out with their children so why i

<<1697>> maybe i should just sum it up with the

<<1699>> five tips that i wrote down

<<1702>> yes and uh number one is that you could

<<1705>> do

<<1705>> a good stretch in the morning before or

<<1707>> after going out of bed and

<<1710>> you could have oils in the diffuser or

<<1713>> you could also apply

<<1714>> balance to ears or bottom of the feet

<<1718>> to ground before you start the day

<<1721>> and for breakfast you could have seafood

<<1723>> oils in your water

<<1725>> and also you could have this oil ritual

<<1728>> where the children can choose their oil

<<1730>> for the day and also

<<1732>> take with them to school or kindergarten

<<1736>> and maybe at lunchtime or after lunch

<<1739>> you would do a little meditation or

<<1740>> mindfulness practice

<<1742>> and you could do it with them like i

<<1744>> talked with the visualization

<<1747>> or just like in a journey and use the

<<1749>> oils to help them breathe slowly and

<<1752>> deeply

<<1754>> and then number five would be before

<<1757>> bedtime

<<1758>> maybe i have like my children like to be

<<1761>> an activity

<<1762>> all the way to the bedtime so maybe do a

<<1764>> little stretching or dancing

<<1766>> music or little some yoga exercises

<<1771>> uh together with the oils before bedtime

<<1775>> and you could also apply orange to their

<<1778>> spine to bottom of the feet

<<1780>> and use these good oils that we

<<1782>> mentioned to have a good

<<1785>> sleep during the night and you also

<<1787>> mentioned that

<<1788>> the benefits of doing this have a good

<<1791>> connection to

<<1792>> our children and you could of course put

<<1795>> oints in the diffuser while when they

<<1799>> are going to bed to have like a

<<1803>> a good time before falling asleep

<<1806>> and you mention also the uh talking

<<1809>> about what we are thankful for

<<1811>> and that could also be a great idea to

<<1813>> before they fall asleep

<<1815>> and that then that would be the last

<<1818>> thing they think about before they

<<1820>> yeah i think that's very um that's a

<<1823>> very good idea

<<1824>> because the last thoughts the last

<<1825>> things that are um in your brain then

<<1827>> they follow you

<<1828>> yeah the whole night so yeah very good

<<1832>> yeah so then i think we have to

<<1836>> uh say goodbye say goodbye it was really

<<1839>> nice to

<<1840>> talk thank you very nice to talk to you

<<1843>> too

<<1844>> and i hope you all would like to try
