A loving game to play with your friends and family

So often we forget to tell people all the wonderful things we love about them. This morning my mum sent me a story that inspired me to share this game with you. Click here to see the story (thanks Mum x).

The next time you get together in a family or friend group ask everyone to write down everyone else’s name on a piece of paper with space between each name. Then ask them to write down ‘the nicest thing they can think of about that person’.

Your job is now to take all the pieces of paper and write down the name of each person on a separate piece of paper, and list what everyone else has said about them.

Once you have finished give them back to each person (including yourself : )

I can just imagine the smiles ….

I can’t wait to do this with my family at our next family dinner.

Enjoy

Transforming the beliefs that are holding you back

Day after day I am blessed to work with clients in supporting them to live the life of their dreams – supporting them to Thrive. One of the most powerful things I do is to support them to set and intention for their life (to address the physical; mental and emotional challenges they are struggling with).

I then take them through a process to find all of the subconscious parts of them that are not in alignment with this intention. This process is powerful and enables people to release their physical, mental and emotional pain. Often people come in rating their pain at 8-9 out of 10 and leave with it only being 0 out of 10. Their life is transformed, their relationships are transformed. It really is amazing.

The process I use is called ‘The LifeLine Technique’.

If you have dreams you are not realising or living with physical, mental or emotional pain and would like to know more about it have a look on the website or give me a call 02 9973 2468.

Infinite love and gratitude

Namaste

As 2011 comes to an end, and we move into 2012, I have been reflecting on this time of year, life and what I would like to wish for you, and it is LOVE.  Because to me this is really what our life is all about, it is our reason for living.

These words came to me in my reflection and are a gift from my heart to yours.

We are here to LOVE – to love ourselves, to love others, and to love earth.

What is love …

• Love is being kind
• Love is powerful
• Love is acceptance
• Love is forgiveness
• Love is awareness
• Love is appreciation
• Love is patient
• Love is honesty
• Love is energy
• Love is wisdom
• Love is innate
• Love is peace
• Love is relating
• Love is life
• Love is love

The true power that each of us have is to love ourselves fully, to love others fully, and to love the earth.
Love leads to harmony in oneself, harmony in relationships and harmony in the world.
From this place we will thrive.

So from my heart to yours – I wish for LOVE – for the earth, for you and for me!

Infinite love and gratitude

Karin Amali

Clinic Times 2012

Nurture House will be on holidays until Monday 16^th January. In 2012 my clinic days for sharing ‘The LifeLine Technique’ are:

• Tuesdays –  Mosman
• Wednesdays & Thursdays – Avalon

If you would like to make an appointment just call me on 0412 654 559.

If you are needing an ‘Emergency LifeLine Sessions’ I will be available for Long Distance Sessions over this time. Just call me and we can make a time for a phone session. Are phone sessions as effective? From my experience yes. Some clients actually prefer them over face to face sessions.

I wish you LOVE is a post from: Nurture House

I’m not sure if these chemicals are in Johnson & Johnson products in Australia, so it would be good to check.

warmly, Karin

The article

Two chemicals considered harmful to babies remain in Johnson & Johnson’s baby shampoo sold in the U.S. and some other countries, even though the company already makes versions without them, according to an international coalition of health and environmental groups.

Now the coalition is urging consumers to boycott Johnson & Johnson baby products until the company agrees to remove the chemicals from its baby products sold around the world.

The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics has unsuccessfully been urging the world’s largest health care company for 2 1/2 years to remove the trace amounts of potentially cancer-causing chemicals — dioxane and a substance called quaternium-15 that releases formaldehyde — from Johnson’s Baby Shampoo, one of its signature products.

Johnson & Johnson has said it is reducing or gradually phasing out the chemicals.

“Johnson & Johnson clearly can make safer baby shampoo in all the markets around the world, but it’s not doing it,” said Lisa Archer, director of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.

I have often wondered about the debate of vaccinated and unvaccinated children. This is a huge study that has some very interesting results. May it help you and your family make a conscious choice. warmly Karin

Article: Natural News

It is commonly assumed that vaccinations are responsible for bringing about substantial improvements in public health, and that humans were much more prone to developing serious disease prior to their advent. But a new survey released by VaccineInjury.info debunks this myth by showing that unvaccinated children are far less prone to developing allergies, autoimmune disorders, neurological problems, endocrine diseases, and other illnesses compared to their vaccinated counterparts.

German homeopathic practitioner Andreas Bachmair compiled health data on more than 8,000 unvaccinated children from at least 15 different countries, and compared it to health data compiled on more than 17,400 vaccinated children involved in a German study known as KiGGS – The German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents.

Unvaccinated children far less prone to allergies and disease than vaccinated children is a post from: Nurture House

Yesterday I was putting these testimonials together for a friend and I thought you might be interested. The Young Living Essential Oils I  would recommend to start with are Valor and Peace and Calming.

What to do when kids have nightmares

When my 18 month old started having Night Terrors I wasn’t sure what to do. Most sleep oils weren’t helping him sleep better..but then I did some research and found out that I had to treat the negative emotions in his mind.

When he went to bed I started rubbing Joy on his big toe (corresponds to the brain). He was also a very restless sleeper so a friend suggested Cedarwood. So along with the Joy I began rubbing Cedarwood to the bottoms of his feet at bedtime also. Worked like a charm. No more Night Terrors and he slept soundly once again. Natalie Amoia  http://www.oil-testimonials.com/essential-oils/5878

Night terrors have been eliminated

A friend has a six year old boy who suffered from night terrors every night. We put Dream Catcher on his forehead and temples, and then put Peace & Calming on his feet. He sleeps through the night now and reminds his mom to put his ’sleepy oils’ on him every night!
Sue Gantick http://www.oil-testimonials.com/essential-oils/2623

Night terrors have not returned

My daughter had night terrors around ages 5 and 6. She would begin to cry and talk nonsensically in her sleep. Because she was not awake, I could not reason with her or comfort her. Nothing I tried worked, until I tried the Peace and Calming oil blend. I put a drop on my hands, rubbed them together and put them in front of her nose so she would breathe in the vapor. It worked beautifully. She would take a deep breath, relax and sleep peacefully. Not only did it help her to sleep, but it completely eradicated my husband’s skepticism about the power of the oils.

May your weekend be full of fun and laughter and SLEEP!

Today is RUOK?Day …

It is a time to think of all those around you that may be having a tough time. They may be going through divorce, having a hard time at school or work, having problems with their families or just finding life tough. Just reaching out to them and offering support and asking RUOK? can make a huge difference.  By asking RUOK you help stop little problems turn into big ones.

When I was going through my challenging times with depression my friends and family often ask me Are you OK and it help me to connect to what I needed. It help me through : )

So today I will be asking those around me RUOK? And then I thought, why not ask all of you who are connected with Nurture House. So my question to you is ARE YOU OK? Do you need someone to talk to?  Do you need help? If your answer is yes, who could you ask for help – a friend, a family member, me?  There are also lots of other ways to get support: http://www.ruokday.com.au/content/i-need-help-now.aspx.

If you would like to participate in RUOK?DAY find out more here: http://www.ruokday.com.au/views/register.aspx

May your day be full of magical connections

Who will you ask? is a post from: Nurture House

Debbie writes: At the onset of a cold, my 11 year old daughter will begin to cough, which in turn leads to asthma or even an ambulance as she cannot get her breath properly. I only recently was introduced to Young Living Essential Oils and with this small amount of knowledge I put it to use. My daughter started coughing on getting out of bed, and as the morning progressed it got worse. I was rubbing Thieves oil neat under her feet as well as her taking a drop in water twice a day. I was getting very concerned. I grabbed the Peace and Calming oil and gave her a drop on the palm of her hand. She rubbed it 3 times clockwise in her palms, and held her palms close to her nose and started to breath in through her nose and out through her mouth. Within seconds she had almost stopped coughing all together. It was amazing!! She has always had 3 to 4 days off school when this happens, but this time she was able to go back the very next day with hardly a cough and she was feeling OK. It was an amazing experience to witness this remarkable recovery of someone usually so vulnerable. Thank You Young Living!!! (Source: Artemis’s newsletter: www.perfectoils.com.au)

Coughs and breathing difficulties is a post from: Nurture House

It is so tempting to sit in front of the computer, answering emails, uploading facebook, finishing that job that just has to be done. And then there is housework to do and phone calls to make. The question I often ask myself is – have you been outside in nature today? So I thought I would ask you that question too … have you been outside in nature today?

Nature refreshes us and replenishes us, especially when you take time to take your shoes off and walk barefoot on the earth and just feel the energy moving up through your feet. While you are there you may like to activate all your other senses too … what can you hear, see, smell, taste and touch. What can you feel?

I’m off outside (even though it’s cloudy) to take off my shoes and socks and connect with nature … Maybe I’ll see you there …

PS If you can’t get outside into nature right now – have a look around the room you are in and connect with the nature where you are is there a plant, a rock, an essential oil?

Is nature calling you? is a post from: Nurture House

Everyday Oils – works in every home is a post from: Nurture House

Good morning … I just had a text from a friend asking which oils to use to treat insect bites. This inspired me to share! I have used all of the oils that the people below are recommending – Purification, Peppermint, Thieves and Lavender. They have worked for flees fleeing (Purification); and Tick bites on dogs (Peppermint); and calming down skin after mosquito bites (Lavender). And a friend just mentioned that she used Thieves on her son after he was covered in ticks and really itchy. The relief was instant. Have a magical day. with love Karin Amali   PS Click here to download a sheet that lists First Aid with Young Living Oils – great to put on your fridge.

Rosiland: I use Purification all the time for any insect bite. I’ve used it on spider bites, mosquito bites, unknown bug bites and ant bites. It stops the sting, reduces the swelling within minutes and stops the itch. I also used it on a wasp sting that my husband received on the back of his knee. It was already starting to swell and hurt a lot. Within 10 to 15 minutes the swelling was gone and the pain had reduced considerably. By the next day all that remained was a small red dot. http://www.oil-testimonials.com/essential-oils/4514

Mary: I now use Young Living Peppermint essential oil and enjoy a drop or two in my stainless steel water bottle. But this weekend I saw amazing results! My sister had gotten a few insect bites on her left hand so I had her massage two drops of the Peppermint oil onto the affected area. Once treated the itching stopped and the swelling disappeared. Later that evening she got several bites on her right hand but unfortunately I had left. When I returned the next morning she was crying … her left hand was so swollen and the burning and itching were unbearable. We applied 2 drops to that hand every few hours. She had instant relief after the first application. By that evening the swelling and itching were gone. http://www.oil-testimonials.com/essential-oils/4533

JoAnn: A couple of days ago, I noticed I had about 8 insect bites on me. I thought, maybe Thieves might help with the itching. I put Thieves on them. It immediately stopped the itching. The next day, I only had to reapply Thieves to one spot. It did the job! http://www.oil-testimonials.com/essential-oils/4703
