SIMPLE Technique To Release Back To School Stress

Follow me


Another school year is about to begin. That can be a very stressful time for children. Even children who love school can feel stressed out, especially with the beginning of a new school year.

I am getting pretty old but I still remember some of the stresses I had with school.

New class schedule
Getting on the right bus
Feeling shy
Fitting in
Making new friends
Dealing with bullies
Tests and exams
Getting used to different teachers
Fear of public speaking

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a powerful way you can help release some of the stress in almost any situation. I love adding essential oils to the tapping. Several options could be used with any tapping on back to school stress. A few possibilities are: Valor, Stress Away, Peace & Calming and Release. There are lots of single oils you could use like lavender for example. Any oil that is calming for your child.

Put a couple drops of your chosen essential oil on your fingertips before you begin tapping through the EFT points.

Tap While You Gripe is one of my favorite ways to use EFT. It is a super simple technique. Just talk and tap. Don’t get too worried about the exact wording you use or what order of points to tap. You don’t even really need to say the words out loud. Just focus on the negative emotion you want to clear. Keep talking and tapping, or thinking and tapping. Focus on the stress and tap.

The EFT Points

KC = Karate Chop
EB = Beginning of the Eye Brow
SE = Side of the Eye
UE = Under the Eye
UN = Under the Nose
Ch = Chin
CB = Beginning of the Collar Bone
UA = Under the Arm
WR = Inside of Wrists
TH = Top of Head

Back to School Tapping Script


Here is a tapping script that focuses on starting the new school year, to get you started. Sit down with your child before school and tap through a few times. Add anything that you know your child is worried about or feeling stressed about. This is just a guideline. Add any other words that apply to the feelings your child is having.

While tapping the Karate Chop Point, Repeat 3 Times:

Even though I feel am feeling stressed about going back to school, I love and accept myself as I am.
Even though I am really nervous about starting the new school year, I love and accept myself as I am.
Even though I am really stressed, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

Now, start tapping through the points, starting at the eyebrow point.
First through all the negative emotions: (Stress Away oil blend)

I am feeling really stressed about school.
What if I can’t get to my classes on time?
What if I miss the bus?
What if I make a mistake?
What if the other kids don’t like me?
What if someone makes fun of me?
I hate that some kids are bullies.
Sometimes I don’t feel like I fit in.
Sometimes I feel uncomfortable.
Sometimes I feel afraid to speak up.
What if I look stupid?
What if I hate my teacher?
What if my teacher hates ME?
All the tests and exams.
Summer is freedom and I don’t want to go back to school.
All the work and studying.
What if I can’t remember the information we learn.
I feel so stressed out.
I feel so nervous.
I feel so anxious.
I feel so __________________

Round 2
Shift to positive emotions: (Valor oil blend)

I choose to shift to a calm and confident energy.
I know this year will be awesome!
I will make mistakes and that is ok.
Everyone makes mistakes once in a while.
I know the other kids are having the same kind of feelings but I have this secret weapon.
I can put on Stress Away and TAP!
I choose to let go of all these stressful emotions.
I am ready to release it.

I choose to feel relaxed and confident.
I am a very likable person and I like myself as I am.

How Young Living Sources Oils That Meet Seed To Seal Standards

Follow me

Young Living sources oils from three types of suppliers:

    1. Corporate Farms – owned, managed and run by Young Living
    2. Partner Farms
    3. Seed To Seal Certified Suppliers

The same level of quality is expected regardless of where we get our oils. Whether they come from our farms, our partner farms or one of our Seed To Seal Certified Supplier, the bar is always the same. 100% Seed to Seal quality.


Seed To Seal Certified Suppliers


Every single supplier has to must meet Young Living’s standards. We do stringent quality testing. We make sure all of the documentation is there. This testing is done every single time we get a batch of oil from a supplier. We are very serious about what we expect from our suppliers. Each supplier must go through Seed To Seal training and certification. They cannot supply to us unless they go through this process.


Then once through the training process they must sign a declaration that they WILL comply with Seed To Seal. It’s a contract and they are held accountable. They are also required to understand strict compliance rules and must comply with their country’s rules but also laws within the US.


Enhanced visits
Many supplier distilleries are shocked when YL comes to visit. They say none of the other companies they have supplied have ever come to see how we do things. The only way you can check all of that is if someone is there. So we go there to make sure they are following the rules.


When we visit a supplier, we want to know some things that contribute to the quality of the oil. Where do their seeds come from? In the example of ylang ylang trees, where did they get those trees 15 or 20 years ago when they were first planted?
As you replant, where did that come from? We watch the distillation process. We also ask to see record keeping. How do they
keep track of their distillation. How do they keep track of inventory. How they keep track of the people who work for them. How are they being paid? Business licenses, proof of taxes being paid. We don’t just want to be sure the oils are being produced the right way, we want to make sure they are running their company the right way.



Next Level is Partner Farms


Once a supplier qualifies to this level, Young Living then provides significant capital investment in the farm. We rebuild the distillery. Resources and go there for the long term to teach them each step of the process and give them even more skills than they had to date. More tools and resources. Longer term contracts. Exclusive relationships with them. They only sell to Young Living and not to a competitor.


New Partner Farm in Quintis Farm in Perth, Australia – Sacred Sandalwood


Newest Partner Farm – Balkan Botanical Farm in Bulgaria
This farm will be producing Roman Chamomile and Valerian. We have not had these oils in over 2 years. Over the years many samples of these oils have been submitted to Young Living but they did not meet Seed to Seal quality standards so they were rejected. We are not willing to compromise our quality standards. We would rather not have the oil, than sell a lower quality product.

Be

sides the corporate owned farms, there are currently 7 Partner Farms. This number is growing as we turn Certified Suppliers into Partner Farms.

Kosher salt, for garnish

Directions:
Special Equipment: 6 small cups, about 3 oz each, (recommended: Dixie), 6 popsicle sticks
Combine sugar, lime juice, water, lemon juice and orange juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Once cool transfer to a blender with tequila, orange liqueur, and lime wedge and process until smooth. Pour into the cups and cover the top of each cup with foil. Make a slit and place the popsicle stick in center of cup (down through foil, which will hold it in place). Freeze until hard, preferably overnight.
Remove from freezer. Carefully tear the cups from around the popsicles. Garnish with kosher salt and serve immediately.

Note: Since the tequila makes these popsicles on the soft side, they must be eaten immediately. If you want to sit them out for several minutes, set them on ice sprinkled with a little coarse salt. And go ahead and sprinkle them with a little too. This will give the popsicles a few extra minutes of cold.

Spicy Pulled Pork Salad With Cilantro Lime Sauce

Follow me

Spicy taco salads are among my favorite meals. I usually add lots of cilantro and hot peppers to any salad. I love cilantro and lime together. I am always experimenting with cilantro combinations for sauces, soups and salads. I recently made this Cilantro Lime Sauce made with added Lime Vitality Essential Oil. This was really tasty. I made a large batch of the sauce and had it on several salads over the week. It’s a new favorite.

The pulled pork recipe makes 8 4oz servings. It’s great for a family gathering or putting half in the freezer for quick meals when you have busy times.




Spicy Pulled Pork Salad With Cilantro Lime Sauce Sauce


Ingredients for Cilantro Lime Sauce


¼ cup oil
¼ cup water
½ cup chopped green onions
½ cup cilantro leaves
2-3 cloves garlic
½ tsp salt
5 drops Lime Vitality Essential Oil
½ cup sour cream


Ingredients for Spicy Pulled Pork Salad


4 lbs pork shoulder
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 Tbs. Chili Powder
2 Tbs. Cumin
½ tsp. Cayenne Pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup chicken broth


2–3 cups shredded lettuce & spinach
1–2 small bell peppers, sliced
2 tomatoes, diced


Remove twine from the pork shoulder. Score the meat, then sprinkle seasonings over the pork shoulder and rub them in. Put the pork in your crock pot along with chopped onion and garlic. Pour in the chicken broth. Cover and let cook on low for 8-10 hours.


After the pork shoulder is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and shred with two forks. Drain the liquid out of the crock pot but save the onion and garlic. Add the onions and garlic to the pulled pork and mix to combine. Taste test at this point and salt if necessary.


Directions for Cilantro Lime Sauce:
Pulse all the sauce ingredients except the sour cream in a food processor. When mostly smooth, add the sour cream and pulse until combined. Taste and adjust as needed. Set aside.


Serve pulled pork on a bed of lettuce and spinach, sliced peppers and chopped tomatoes.
Top with Cilantro Lime sauce until it the vegetables are coated to your liking.

The Cilantro Lime Sauce works well with chicken or beef as well.
