Sharing EO the RIGHT WAY

 

Sharing Young Living the RIGHT WAY.

 

Currently, Young Living Malaysia has brought in products that are legally classified as cosmetics grade. This meaning products can only apply to external parts of our body.

 

 

1. Diffuse the oil
• My pick 8 to 10 drops of  lemon, peppermint, purification or Palo Santo
2. DIY your own spray from Dark Colour Glass bottles
• Love the aroma from orange, lemon, grapefruit (you can use single oil or blend 2 or more + RO water)
• To 'chase away' insects - try to mix basil, lemongrass, thyme & rosemary (few drops each onto a 100ml or 150 bottle)
3. Inhale it direct from your palm (applicable to all single or blend oil)
• Always do a sensitive test by apply a drop of oil onto the wrist first)
4. Wear it in your EO necklace
• I use Clary Sage 1 week before my menses
• When I am out for long app, I wear Frankincense behind my ear and apply on my write as my perfume
5. Drop a drop of oil of your choice onto a tissue or facial tissue then put beside your bed during travelling

 

 

 

You have the YL Dewdrop and Rainstone diffuser, maximise them whenever possible

I add to my eye mask and it smell so good....

 

 

 

1. Gentle reminder for 1st time EO user, always DILUTE the oil with v6 or any other base oil e.g. coconut oil or your baby oil
2. Lavender help to improve my son's nails conditions
3. Lavender stop the itchiness and reduce the red spot on my client's leg
4. Add Cypress, Grapefruit, Lemon + half bottle of V6, I use to massage my entire lower body (I find it help to improve the water retention, cellulite and somehow, it reduce lower back pain for my hubby)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Massage gently the well blend frankincense or sacred frankincense with the night cream then apply the facial mask.
 Feeling refreshing the next day

 



Apply the oil of your choice before your exercise - be it yoga, slow walk, cycling or simple stretching at home



 

 

 

1.  Since I have been using YL EO for many years now, I have total faith and trust of this  pure oil, this is my own experience and since each body is different, you take the following as reference only ok
2. A drop of peppermint into my hot flask during tea time will keep me awake
3. I also like to swap it with Lemon on the day if I overeat
4. Lime also another good selection

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.  Again, practice this only if you are confident and you know the oil can help you
2. I apply a drop of Thieve or peppermint when I have sore throat
3. Not able to sleep, a drop under the tongue help me

Natural mouth freshener (add drop of peppermint + coconut oil onto capsule)

 

 

Find it difficult to drop under tongue or drink the oil, this is another option, put the oil into capsule

1. This is my weekly detox for my family members - 8 drops of lemon neat or add coconut oil
2. Another oil that good for detox = Juva cleanse

 

 

1. The first choice = Rain Drop Set 

 

 

 

 

 

1. While waiting for the exact usage of RD on the spine
2. Quick start is to layering the oil onto your feet
1. Always allow a few minute for the oil to absorb before the next one
1. Valor
2. Oregano
3. Thyme
4. Basil
5. Cypress
6. Wintergreen
7. Marjoram
8. Aroma Siez
9. Peppermint

Sharing is Loving

  

 

 

 

I recycle the bottles - add V6 and blend the oil to share with my friends and students

Who is Wrong

What is your reaction when someone telling you something happened and starting to finger pointing who is at the wrong?

My wise sister share with me that it is not important to who or what is at the wrong (no point to blame!). We have to see why it is happening and what should we do to stop it from happening again.

Thank you sister, I understand what you are trying to tell me; once I identified the caused, I worked on the rules/boundaries then we must be consistent on what we have set.

Thank You. I love you.

Toilet lighting

不知从何开始，家里可以亮、响、发出声音等等，都有毛病了!就如人一样，开始＂病＂，老化…

如果你家里的男人不是所谓的＂handy man＂，那么请你容忍一点，他可以完全不理，或者等他心情好的时候才看看!《我说看看是因为他可能根本不会修理的，但又不开心如果去找救兵…》

我想我的确很幸运，我家族有一位很能干的妹夫，这也许是他的兴趣吧。现在已经没有几个男生可以什么都＂包到完＂的。不只是他可以知道要什么地方出毛病，要换什么，那里找替换品，手工又好。很难找了吧!

换个角度看，我们是该教教小孩这些生活技能?这对他们该有用的。对吧?

好了，现在先感恩该亮的可以亮，要流的已经流了。接下来好好想想如何让小孩可以有这一方面的接触…

Christmas Day

Are you now queue in the jam going into the shopping malls for the Christmas Sales & shop for the Chinese New Year?

Some of you maybe just woke up from last night extended Christmas party ;)

I have been sitting in this cafe try to get the 'mood' to write.... Observing people coming in and out, having late breakfast, lunch and now tea. Most of them come with kids, and they have their own "electronic gadgets on hand; where's the communication? Even couples playing on their own mobile while waiting for their orders. It can be clearly tell if those are newly dating or have been together for a while!

I wanted to say we should treasure the moment we spending time together. We have been busy with our daily errands and at time, we hardly can sit down to enjoy the meals together...

Anyhow, forget about the others and let me share with you my activitie since Fri evening - attending gathering at my uncle's house, busy with my cousin wedding on the Christmas eve then visiting my friend new house in the evening - what a great day, I enjoyed the gathring, eating ,chit chat and also not forgetting a glass of nice wine.

Qin Kai? He has fun time catching up his friends (who have not been meeting for a while), playing ipad, watching movie, reading story book and at last when they have nothing else to do, they played with the torties.....

Well, what I wanted to share is that, when you are spending the time with your family members, friends or love ones - be at that moment (enjoy the now). There always time for you to attend to the sms, email, FB or whatsoever (I knew someone going to something about this when he read this :)

You get it or not, let me wish you all a blessed Christmas and may the New Year 2012 be the best ever in ALL ways for you and your family.

Letter with Comic

<><>

Today entering the last week of the school holidays. Most parents will be busy with the preparation for their kids to go back to school (OH NO, have to wake up early morning, rush for breakfast, pack the meal box, busy with the tuition/activities programs etc......)

I am kind of looking forward for the new year and it will be a new start for all of us. It is the time I am going to put what we have been learning from the confucian camp and midbrain into action. I am so excited!!

I have a great me-my time while Qin Kai away to the confucian camp, very happy as accomplished most of the tasks on hand (except one and I am pretty sure it can be done :) Darling, if you are reading this, you know what I am talking about!!!)

As for Qin Kai, he has learned something during his stayed at the camp and these are the things he will be used/put into practice for the rest of his life. I am grateful to Chen lou shi and her team to run the camp successfully. I must thank you Qin Kai's daddy to sponsor as well as agreed for him to attend this camp.

Let me extract a bit of Qin Kai update from the camp (I am sure you are not able to read his handwriting as it is really bad - but he was telling me 'don't worry mom, in the future, we have the tools to help us to write - you can have all type of font, sizes and colors, so this is ok' Ha)

1. He felt sad when we are not around (he then realize he must appreciate and treasure the time when parents are with him)

2. He has to wake up early and get himself ready for the morning gathering (he said he is like king at home that everytime his mother will wake him up and the breakfast is ready ...)

3. He learn to thank you for the food that is served and not forgetting the Yang mama who has been busy cooking for them the past 21 days

4. He met new friends (and also friends who joined the camp last year). He is very happy with all the friends

5. He thank you his 'team lead' who always take good care of them

6. He enjoyed the morning walk up the 'hill'

7. The most exciting activity for him is to able to swim in the 'river', very cold ...

8. He can't wait to go back to see the 'flower' they plant next year (oh ya, he wanted to go back again next year!!!)

9. I have viewed some photos on 'the kampung walk' and they all have fun.

10 Night tracking seems not too challenging for him as I was told he is one of the first few to complete the mission

11. Not forgetting the Yoga session with Master Mani - they just love him

12. He also mentioned 'camp fire' and the summary from him 'syok lo'

13. There are time, he will get the scold from teachers and he is not happy (but he shared with me that he is aware that he is wrong and he will make sure he didnt' do it again)

There are 'free & easy' time for the children but overall, there will be activities to fill up the time for the kids to learn, to experience and very much hand on on all of the things they are doing.

I guess parents play an important role to 'play' what they have learnt and be there when you are when them. (I also constantly remind myself, no iphone during 'our time'). Try it out yourself the next time you are performing the book reading, activities or simply any outdoor game with them. (put the phone into mute or just put them aside for the 20-30 minutes) You will enjoy the quality time....

I can't stop Qin Kai from the ipad, wii, psp, TV etc, but there's always a limit/boundary to all that. I have learnt the hard way to set the time that agreed by both of us and to execute the boundary - Dear Parents, you must not COMPROMISE (this is Tough Love!!!)

Well, I am grateful I have Qin Kai and I have to continue to learn to share.....and I continue to grow wiser everyday

WELL DONE, Ericca  & WELL DONE to QIn Kai too ^-^

2nd letter from Qin Kai - this is 'hand delivery' when I met him on the last day @ camp :)

Qin Kai is home

Have you noticed the school holidays almost come to an end....

I am happy Qin Kai has enjoyed his 21 days stay at Bentong (Confucian camp 2011.) There are so much to share and where shall I begin?

Let me share with you my feeling, I missed him dearly this round as have been spending lot of time with him since I quit my job. This make me realize and experience the 'let go' moment. There are lot of parents suffer the anxiety when their children have to leave home and move on to further their studies. Parents need to start to adjust their life stlye without the kids around. This is a wake up call....think :)
I do observed most children didn't even know how to take themselves (they can't wash their laundry, didn't clean the dishes aftervmeals, didn't help in housekeepin etc) why? They have kakak at home or they have a very hardworking mother! They are not given a chance to do what they suppose to.
I really want to congratulate every children who attended the camp - JOB WELL DONE. Now they know to wash their laundry, they help in the kitchen, they tidy their own bed, they sweep the floor and they have fun! It is alright if the job not done perfectly or not the way you want. What is important is they tried and they can do it themselves.

There also lot of other new experience for the children, they enjoyed the morning walk - up the hill, plant vegetable (learn to eat vegetables ^-^), play in the stream, night tracking, kampung walk, yoga, hand craft etc (trust me, they don't like it at first as they didnt have such opportunity, most of them will be drowned by tuitions, or when they have the freen time, how many don't have I-phone,I-pad, PSP, WII?? How many of us have time to do such outing with them?)

The other important aspect of this 21 days is to 're-form' the children behavior and attitude. Parents can only contact teacher in charge once a week via phone to have minimum distraction :) I remembered clearly a sharing from one of the kid during the graduation day - he is so proud to tell he has break his bad habit, he learn to respect others, must have good manners - is a new him!! What a great transformation. I am sure you all like children who know how to greet 'hello', say 'please' and express gratitude 'thank you, when given them something?

Do watch out my next sharing the words from Qin Kai.... I guarantee you will have fun....stay tune.

Secret Garden Cafe & Boutique & Yoga....

I personally like the idea where I can have a place to enjoy healthy snacks, drinks and have a relax time with you friends during my off day or over the weekend.....

It would be best still if I can do shop for the wardrobe (even now I am teaching yoga, and I am mostly on the exercise apparel), I like to dress up and be presentable :)

Now, you are welcome to join me at the Secret Garden Cafe & Boutique for an hour of basic hatha yoga practice, then we can enjoy the delicous freshly made bread, juices and snacks after the exercise.........

Drop me a note to find out the details and I look forward to see you ^-^

Venue: The Strand, Kota Damansara

Every Tuesday between 2.30-5.30pm

Trataka vs Midbrain

Trataka (Tratak - Candle meditation)

I have been practiced this with Qin Kai and it is not easy; it took me some weeks and finally both of us can sit quietly in front of a candles (you can imagine what this boy will do to avoid the flame remains steady....), keeping the eyes open and staring at the candle from 30 seconds to 1 minute till tears began to flow....

Practising this regularly balance the nervous system, relieving anxiety, tension and it improves the memory. You will notice it develops good concentration!

How do I relate this to Midbrain exercise? As, I noticed the key for the kid to perform the blindfold exercises is when they are in a very calm and focus mode.

As per the parents guide book, there are 3 fundamental steps to start the blindfold exercise

1. Relaxation

2. Deep Breathing

3. Imagine Sun's light

I have replaced item 3 with Trataka and the effect is good:) Then it is not too boring for Qin Kai to follow through the same routines....

If you are intesrested to find out more how to prepare your own 'candle below' and steps how to perform the Trataka exercis, do drop me a message in the comment box below. I love to share :)

 

Ladies gathering

It was a very fun and relaxing Fri morning.

Feeling happy to catch up with my ex-colleagues and what we were doing? YOGA!

What a nice way to kick start the day, we felt great after the twist and stretching... The reward after the exercise, breakfast at 'Kheng' kopitiam. Don't miss out the half boil kampung egg, steam bread and kopi-o.

Suddenly,I just have this idea, would you like to enjoy yoga at somewhere you can smell natural green, hear the nice water sounds and stay away from the city noise occasionally? We can even practice the Shatkarma and have a mini beauty session. What do you think?

Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Karma Yoga - Confucian Camp 2011

This is another great day at Bentong Confucian Camp. (I lost count the number of time I have joined such karma yoga with Master Mani :-p)

I have been looking forward to meet the children and most important, I am going to meet Qin Kai (I have been missing him so much since he checked in to the camp on 27th Nov)....

It took me about 1.5 hours from Shah Alam to reach the site; the weather were so nice and the smell of the nature REfRESH you instantly.

The children enjoyed the yoga session with Master Mani and guess which is the part they enjoyed the most???? SHAVASANA, you can hear all sor of 'sounds' and apparently, some kids already fallen zzzzzzzZZZzzzz. Anyhow, you will be impressed even these children are in the deep relaxation pose, they did somehow 'listen' to the positive affirmation that share by Master Mani!!!!

I really hope there are more volunteers will turn up for these type of karma project. I believed one don't have to be rich to perform karma (charity) activities. You just need to go with a big heart and your sincerity. The children can feel you.

I am sure there are more Karma yoga to be organized in 2012 and all are welcome. Do check out the announcement and I know you don't want to miss the opportunities to experience  the joy with the children.

New Interest

NIKON D5000

I am very lucky to have this camera from my husband. Don't ask me what type of lenses I have :)

At time, I can't even remember the model of the camera :) That is not important coz the really important thing is to thank you my husband as he has diverted his interest from photography to cycling (the bicycle is just parking there and I am wandering should I open a bid to sell it off - ha ha ha) and now running.

Now, back to my new interests, it was really cool and fun to have this DSLR camera but trust me, it is not easy to travel with this little giant baby. I brought this camera with me to Siem Reap last year end and I suffer server shoulder/neck pain after have to mountain walk for almost an hour plus! The experience remind me to have a nice camera bag ...

Anyhow, despite of the weight, the outcome will hardly disappoint you. I am very happy and satisfy with most of the photo shoots. There are lot more to learn when come to handling the camera!

I like to mention here also that I gained a lot of photography tips from my DHL colleagues (oh my GOD! I can't recall what is the name of the photography club...help me!!!) Thank you friends.

My own tip on DSLR, master the basic and follow your heart, just take as much photos and you will never regret.

2011 travel consolidation

Finally, ALL ABOUT ERICCA blog is now ready !!!!

I must thank you my dear friend - NSP (I think I started asking him the 'how to' when he is still in DHL and now he has gone back to PEN....with his determination and patince, I MAKE IT!!! ha ha)

I have published few posting mainly on the yoga and my next aim is to share my 2011 travel experience. I will not keep you waiting.....but it will surely take a while - I have visisted few beautiful countries this year - Hong Kong, Egypt, Bali, Cambodia ...........I missed Nepal but I am sure I will be there one day :-p

Hold on there, I will be right back

Happy time ....
