my todays's video is inspired my students whom i am teaching mehendi now a days
and all of you new beginners who sent me messages and questions for suggestions
let me tell you, why all of you are my inspiration
whenever new artist asks me how to and what to practice in henna
i always tell them to practice lines
the moment i tell thm and show them how to draw lines
they only practice one type of line and that is this one straight horizontal line
constantly they keep practicing only this line
when i demand to practice something else then they draw one more line
let me focus my camera first because already it has messed up my recording
and that is vertical line
maximum they practice either horizontal line or vertical line
but its the truth that in mehendi we don't draw only these two lines
we have to draw many more lines too
the second major problem that many beginner face and many time seasoned artist like us face
and could be reason behind messy work
it happens before we touch surface we start pressing cones
the moment pressure start cone start releasing mehendi and we gets dots
mehendi start coming out and then we touch surface
and suddenly we stop giving pressure or decrease pressure
whatever the reason, before there was pressure and suddenly pressure is less or not at all
and we start drawing elements
because of that out line breaks
so whenever we start drawing our lines break
begining of line is not perfect due to this reason
if you have not notice it yet then notice this as it happens to many artists
then what we do?
the moment line breaks we go back to correct it
i always keep telling my student that
you all will think what nonsense i am talking?
don't go back but come back
isn't it same thing? no its not
what do we usually do the moment line breaks
we immediately go back and try to create line by dragging it
the line created that way is not perfect line its stroked line imperfect line
thats why when ever you are drawing any line
and if that line breaks then continue with your line
after that come back and correct the line joining two ends two points
try to draw line with draping lines unlike drawing lines and creating mess
you can see that that line is perfect while other seems imperfect
this is golden rule for my all students
that whenever you are drawing big elements complete line then correct broken line
because i have seen we try to draw lines the way we draw with pencils
complete shape then connect lines. i will keep repeating myself
don't ever make strokes line whenever you are drawing big elements in mehendi
with strokes line you work won't look neat and clean
whenever you touch surface and begin to draw lines then start giving pressure
that will reduce the amount of dots you get in your work
i hope my this point is clear to all of you
because this is very important point in learning mehendi
and i have been witnessing that my students are facing this problem
scratching line is so much in habit that even though correcting them constant is not helping
so if you are new and beginner then if you begining is in right direction then its easy for all of you
once you develop wrong habit then it takes lots of time and efforts to correct it
please keep this point in mind always
one more thing grab my attention from my experiences
in one of my video i have explained in length that in mehendi speed and pressure are two main factors
but my teaching experience is telling me that the third important factor is
besides speed and pressure and that is movement
whenever our movement is straight our speed and pressure remain maintained
right now movement is straight
because it does not have any drastic change and thats why speed and pressures under control
the moment i have movements while drawing
my sped and pressure start going haywire
movement means when i am drawing circle
when it is going towards down direction all is well but the moment i change movement
in opposite direction my line start shaking
the movement comes when we draw curve lines
whenever we have movements we have to change speed and pressure
but mostly beginners fail to do so
and thats why they have major problem whenever they draw swirls
the moment you draw swirl all three factors had to play their role in harmony
and if it does not happen then you don't get perfect swirls
and thats why this third factor movement is also very important
so when i saw my students only practice these two lines
the moment they start movement then they start facing problem
and they are trying to create lines with strokes line then
i realised i always keep telling everyone that learn alphabet of mehendi designs
then i realised why don't we learn English alphabets first with mehendi
to over come our these problems
so i suggest that all beginners or those who are facing all these problem
should practice english alphabet first
but how? i will show you one technique
and le me tell you that this is my one of the experiment
all of you try and let me know how much all of you have improved
so i can understand that my experiment is working in right direction or not
if you share your experience then it could be helpful to others too
so how we have to practice these alphabets let me show
first of all excuse my cone because its old and thats why i am getting broken lines
just focus on the matter i am tying to share with all of you
ok so i was telling that we should draw A with one stroke
where first line will go up then down and then center line will join two side lines
and this we will achieve with draping lines
we have-not have to drag lines but we have to drape lines
and second golden rule of today is " don't go back but come back "
do come back to watch our videos....hahahaha
then come E and then F
concentrate the moment i have changed movements i keep my cone down and then start again
then you won't face the begging dot problem
try to keep your beginning pressure as low as possible
i have told this before that i am also trying to correct my that problem
because i also face beginning dots problem
and thats why i always keep telling that if from the begining if your habit is right then your life is easy
we will draw all alphabets in same manner
you can see the way i draw M
i know i am asking you to practice alphabet
but when you practice it then you realise what am i trying to teach you
if you speed, pressure and movements are in proportion then
only you will get perfectly drawn alphabets
first you draw alphabet n medium size and once you are perfect with it then try small and big size alphabets
you can see so many different movement these alphabets have
there are many line variation you can practice with these
thats why with alphabets you can practice all types of lines apart from horizontal and vertical lines
once you get perfected with straight line alphabets then we will move on to curve alphabets
and those are O that will be our circle too
i know my O is not perfect
oh sorry i forgot C
you can practice either Deep curved C or shallow curved C
whenever you practice these curved alphabet then try to practice them in opposite direction too
then its Q that is similar to O but try to draw curvy line inside instead of straight line
then here comes S that is little challenging with its opposite direction movements
because i have seen this with my students that when movements in right direction its not
a problem but moment movement changed line start breaking
we will draw S in both directions
those who have seen my paisley video they knows i used C and S to create paisleys
once we perfect these curvy alphabets then we will practice alphabets that have both curve and lines
whenever you start working on something your phone start ringing
so B for Beena...hahahah thats my name by chance anyone of you don't know
please do practice them in all direction
i have little confusion with G because we learn this way but in typing it comes in different way
but in any case you practice the way i showed you because i want that circle in centre
U is very important alphabet because it can becomes frill elements and or petal elements
actually all alphabets are very important
if you see carefully all shapes are made up from these alphabets
actually i wish you don't only practice alphabets but you should practice numbers too
why should be leave ten
so practice them too
when i am sharing this technique with all of you
few people might think that i have lost my marbles and gone insane hahahahhah
let me tell you that i am little crazy but still not that much
neither i am crazy nor i am passion your time
when u all will practice this then you all will understand how helpful this method is
thats why i told you that this is still at experiment level
so if you all will share your experience we could conclude something from this
do try this..let me show you one simple example how these alphabets create shapes
this is our shallow C
then this is little tilted L or base of 4
and this is our number 3 but in opposite direction
i think i have to zoom my video so you all have better view
when our shallow C, tilted L and opposite 3 is perfect then we should have tick mark
we create face cut using all alphabets
i think my drawing teacher taught me something similar in my drawing class when i was small kid
we write 8 something like this in our gujarati
this is very simple example of how we can create shapes from alphabet
they bring confidence in our lines
they teach us shapes and movements then why don't we start our henna journey with them
try this i know its very out of the Box idea but may be it end up improving your art
today i talked about lines, the broken lines and new factor movement
and shared that alphabet can teach us speed ,pressure and movements
and with this i take your leave now
we will meet soon
first time i am doing live recording with voice and i had to take many breaks
due to calls and door bell rings
so if you felt my link was broken while recording then these were the reasons behind it
please do let me now how do you like my this approach
what are your thoughts about this technique
if you practice this method then share your experience with it
one more important thing i want to share with all of you that my website is ready
i am planing many different things with my website
what are they ? i will sure share with all of you
but for time being please do visit my sight and let us know how do you find it

Molluscum Contagiosum Treatment ❤ Home Remedies for Molluscum Contagiosum - Duration: 4:56.
Home Remedies for Molluscum Contagiosum
Molluscum contagiosum is a very common infection of the skin caused by the molluscum contagiosum
virus.
It produces benign, raised lesions or bumps on the upper layers of your skin.
Usually, there are numerous bumps clustered together and may be of varying sizes.
One characteristic sign is that the bumps have a small indentation or dot on the top,
which may become inflamed, red or irritated.
The bumps are shiny in appearance, typically either flesh-colored or pink in tone, and
are usually painless but may be itchy.
These bumps often appear about seven weeks after being exposed to the virus.
Sometimes, the bumps do not appear for many months.
Here are the top 5 home remedies for molluscum contagiosum.
1.
Apple Cider Vinegar
An effective treatment for molluscum contagiosum is apple cider vinegar.
Being rich in antiviral properties, it helps kill the virus responsible for this infection.
It penetrates into the skin quickly and eliminates the source of the infection.
Plus, it is rich in vitamins and minerals that give a boost to your immune system, which
helps speed up recovery.
Soak a cotton ball in raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar and apply it on the affected
area.
Cover the area with a bandage and leave it on overnight.
The next morning, remove the bandage and wash the area with lukewarm water.
Repeat once daily for a few weeks.
If the apple cider vinegar is irritating to the skin, dilute it with an equal amount of
water.
Alternatively, add 1 cup of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar to a bathtub of warm water.
Soak in this water for 20 minutes once daily.
You can also mix 1 tablespoon of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar in a glass of water and
drink it twice daily to work against the virus from the inside out.
2.
Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic and antiviral agent.
When applied topically, it penetrates the skin and fights the molluscum contagiosum
virus.
Dab a cotton ball in tea tree oil.
Apply it on the skin where the bumps appear.
Repeat 3 or 4 times daily for quick results.
Alternatively, mix 4 or 5 drops of tea tree oil in 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Apply this mixture on the affected areas.
Leave it on for a couple of hours before rinsing the area with warm water.
Repeat once or twice daily for a few weeks.
Note: Do not consume tea tree oil.
3.
Indian Lilac
Indian lilac, also known as neem, is another potent antiviral herb that can be used to
treat molluscum contagiosum.
Neem has an active ingredient known as azadirachtin, which is best known as an antiviral agent
that can effectively neutralize and eliminate the virus responsible for this skin infection.
Also, it boosts the immune system to help fight off the virus.
You can choose from the following neem remedies, depending on what is convenient for you.
Wash and grind a handful of neem leaves into a paste.
Apply it on the affected area.
Leave it on for at least 30 minutes before rinsing it off with lukewarm water.
Do this 3 or 4 times a day.
Boil a handful of neem leaves in a pan filled with water, until the water is reduced to
one-third.
Allow the solution to cool, then use it to rinse the affected area a couple of times
a day.
Mix 5 or 6 drops of neem oil with 1 tablespoon of olive or coconut oil.
Apply it on the affected area for 20 to 30 minutes, once or twice daily.
4.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is beneficial for treating various skins problems, including molluscum contagiosum.
This oil is antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial in nature and helps reduce inflammation and
itching caused by this viral infection.
Also, the oil is rich in fatty acids, which help prevent the skin from drying out.
Apply extra-virgin coconut oil to the affected area 2 or 3 times a day.
Also, take 1 to 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin coconut oil internally to boost healing from
within.
5.
Australian Lemon Myrtle
Australian lemon myrtle is another effective home remedy.
It contains many antimicrobial nutrients and can also help eliminate the dead cells and
improve the growth of new skin.
Add 1 part lemon myrtle oil to 9 parts olive oil and mix well.
Apply this solution on the molluscum bumps.
Do it 3 or 4 times a day for several weeks.

Tongue Twister for Flower Arranging 記住「急口令」，插花好easy！TY-01 - Duration: 16:20.
( Please choose Subtitles and Subscribe )
Learning basic flower arrangement is to learn the basic shape, flower arranging steps and matching of flowers
Above all the basic shape is very important, when we conceive to make a flower arrangement, how can we recall our basic shapes？
If you want to remember all you have learnt such as the triangle, L-type and so on, these names will be a bit difficult, but I use 12 words to memorize the whole 12 styles
（Fan）、(Hop)、(Ying)、(Wan)、(Lau)、(Dip) (Chik)、(Wang)、(Pai)、(Che)、(Lap)、(Kok)
Just now we heard that I recited the names of the 12 Basic-class styles, the first six words representing six curved lines, followed by six words representing six straight lines
In fact, in the basic flower arrangement, we mainly learn these two shapes, respectively, the shape of curved lines and straight lines of the shape
Now, I will show you one by one the basic 12 shapes
The Number one shape is called Fan-shape, we mainly use five pieces of Cordyline Terminali caused by radiation, outward stretch lines
The Number two shape is called Hop-shape,we usually use the Lutescens caused by two hands like the shape of the palm
We will use two pieces of Lutescens and two arrows, I put two arrows at the mud 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock
In addition, I put two Lutescens in the foam at 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock, with these pieces of Lutescens caused by the shape, I call it Hop-shape
The is called "Ying-shape", which is a flat crescent moon. I will use two pieces of Rhapis., put them in the foam surface 12 o'clock and foam2 o'clock
Resulting in the flat meniscus, the whole form of stretching out, known as Ying-shape
pay attention to the length of the different, their ratio is about two to one, for example, the left side of 20 inches long, the right side should be 10 inches
With two Rhapis caused flat meniscus, I call it "Ying shape"
The Number four shape is "Wan-shape". I also use two pieces of Lutescens, about 22 inches and 19 inches, respectively, placed them in the surface and side of foam
We can put two pieces of Lutescens at 2 o'clock and 8 o'clock, can also be placed in the opposite direction, resulting in the shape of the meniscus, I call it Wan-shape
The Number five shape ,I call it Lau-shape, it is like a S-shaped. We can use Genista as the shaped foliage for this shape.
Even without any companion, we can use some curved flowers, such as carnations which can also be a good choice
Of course, you can choose other foliages such as Matthiola, Contorted Willow, Salix, Genista,
But if the companion or flowers relatively straight, we are not suitable to put it too oblique,
We should not put the straight flowers too oblique, this will make the form looking not natural
To do this Lau-shape, we have to pick some curved flowers, carnations is the best choice
The Number six shape, I call it "Dip-shape", usually we will use coconut leaves or Ophiopogon, put them into four circles
The four circles, two of them on the foam side, the other two placed in the back, their length is about 26 inches or 28 inches
This style is more symmetrical, the left and right circles are to be the same. pay attention to this work is a curved line, so we do not choose straight flowers
With Calla Lily or Turlip, you can make a Dip-shape
I have just explained six curved lines, and then I will explain the other six straight lines
The first one I call it Chik-shape, it is a straight line, but we do not put the flowers into a real straight line, but to a little streamline
We usually use some kinds of companion , such as Contorted Willow, Typha or Horse Tail,
The eighth form I call it "Wang-shape" it is flat like a horizontal line, it is symmetrical on both sides, usually about 9 inches per side or 11 inches
We can use Cordyline Terminali, Lutescens or Leaves of Little Bird as shaped foliages
We usually put a leaf in the left and right side, about 11 inches or 13 inches, this can cause Wang-shape form
The ninth section is called "Pai-shape", which is more special, composed of two straight lines, it also belongs to a parallel insertion of flowers
It is better to use a higher branch on one side while some high flowers on the other side. They are stretched upward, and maintain a balance
When we do this style,try using the branches on one side and flowers on the other side.
The tenth form I call it a "Che-shape", it is like a tilted Wang-shape, belonging to the diagonal, it is about 30 degrees oblique
Often we use the high bottle to do this work, the whole primary course, we have two to three styles need to use high bottles, such as "Che-shaped", "Lau-shape" and " Ying-Shape
Doing this style, try to maintain the angle of 30 degrees, for example, we placed in the east 2 o'clock a rose, you can put the rose stem at 9 o'clock
We have two main branches caused by 30 degrees oblique form, I call it Che-shape
The eleventh is the Lap-shape, which consists of a straight line and a horizontal line, like an inverted T shape. I call it an inverted T
This style usually has a ratio, the ratio of straight lines to horizontal lines is about two to one, for example, straight lines are 20 inches, the side is about 10 inches
To maintain the 2: 1 ratio of gold, Forget-me-not or Contorted Willow are all suitable as a companion
The last style is the Kok-shape, it is an L-type, it feels it is a straight line and a horizontal line
But we should note that we will put the horizontal line on the side 4 o'clock or 8 o'clock, I call it "gold position" , to keep the horizontal line is oblique forward, resulting in a layer and three dimensional
And the ratio of straight lines and horizontal lines is also two to one, do this work, we can use Typha, Contorted Willow, Salix, horse tail etc.
And in the side position, we can place Little Bird leaves or Cordyline Terminali
This is caused by a straight line plus a short horizontal line caused by the form, I call it Kok-shape
In this session, I have reviewed the basic 12 models, including six kinds of curved lines and six straight lines
It is not difficult to remember the names of these 12 styles, as long as the 12 words to remember ,the way to remember tongue triwster, it will be much easier
When you design a work, try to remember what shape each form should be and with what kind of companied foliage, it will help when we will do more large and complex works in future

12 Simple Steps For Guiding Our Children Into Their Highest Expressions - Duration: 23:15.
12 Simple Steps For Guiding Our Children Into Their Highest Expressions
by Jessie Klassen,
A follow up to my article, �5 Important Lessons for Raising Children in these New
Energies�
As parents during this intense and exciting time on Earth, we accepted and/or chose an
extremely important job. We are guiding the next caretakers of the Earth and evolution
of humanity.
Our children are growing up in a world where they are faced with challenges unlike those
we have ever seen. The world is literally at their fingertips, and although this has
great opportunity when applied correctly, it also brings constant distraction and stimulation,
therefore pulling them away from connecting with Nature and looking inward and knowing
who they are.
Not only this, but with climate change, a contaminated food chain, toxic water, questionable
vaccines and out dated school programs, it has never been more important for us as parents
to be �awake.�
Because the truth is, we can thrive here if we are living our lives by heart-centered
decisions that are led by our intuition, and not by the lies and propaganda that we have
been told.
And yes, it may seem impossible to not get caught in the traps, but when we teach our
children awareness, and allow their �awakened selves� to shine through, they will be aware
of the traps and will be able to see them for what they are. When we are aware, we are
impossible to trap.
And essentially, we will be creating the peaceful, joyous Earth that we all came here to create.
A misconception that I have noticed around our children commonly known as the Indigos,
starseeds, etc., is that they are automatically �tuned in� and kind or that they would
never do or say something rude or questionable.
But what I have experienced with my oldest son, Shep, is that, yes, he is incredibly
sensitive, and he is �tuned in�, but he is also clearing SO much old karma and rebalancing
back to his Highest Expression of himself in this lifetime, that he has been susceptible
to all kinds of interference and questionable behavior.
Shep is, in his Divine Nature, a sweetie. He loves to hug and snuggle, but he also would
experience intense and erratic mood swings. You never knew what kind of day you were going
to have with him. His highs were high � loving, jokey, and creative. And his lows were low
� brooding, angry, sulky, withdrawn. Never mean but constantly unpredictable.
As a parent, it can be heartbreaking to see your child in this unhappy little body and
know that they are in there, but how do you get to them?
It was also heartbreaking and disappointing when we would hear of something completely
out of character that he had done, because you just knew that that wasn�t really him.
And afterwards, he always felt awful, but he could barely remember doing it. It was
as if he had no control over himself. He struggled to communicate or give any explanation, as
there really wasn�t one that he knew of.
Because he really didn�t know, because it wasn�t really the �true� Shep. His energy
body was so influenced by energetic cords from past lives and outer stimulations (and
we live on a secluded farm), that the real Shep was unable to shine through and be in
control all of the time.
So how do we guide our children into the Highest expressions of themselves?
Energetic Cord Clearing
This simple practice has worked wonders for my older kids as they seem to have come into
this life with a lot of old baggage to clear out. My article �An Empowering Cord Cutting
Exercise for Children� gives an easy technique for doing so, or you can visit an energy worker/healer
who can help.
I have found with my kids that explaining how energy works has been extremely empowering
for them because understanding how energy works is understanding how EVERYTHING works.
That essentially, everything you �put out there� will come back to you, and that everything
you do to others you are doing to yourself.
That energy always attracts energy of the same frequency or vibration, and when we have
a �high� vibration, we attract other people and experiences with a high vibration as well.
These include love and joy, kindness, compassion, and vitality.
I often ask my kids, �what are you feeding?� Which energy pathway are you focusing on and
giving energy to? What we focus on, we strengthen.
Simply knowing how energy works awakens our children to the truth that we are powerful
beings, and that they always have control over their own energy.
And when things don�t always go their way?
�It�s all for you.�
These four little words relieve a whole lot of pressure. Because no matter what, the experience
was meant to teach you something and help you grow into who you are meant to become.
I often ask my kids after something happened, such as, �what did you learn?�
The importance of looking for the lesson is life-altering. We begin to trust Life, because
we know that it is always looking out for our best interest. And when we acknowledge
and look for the lesson, Life will not have to repeat it.
�You are already good�
Not long ago, when we were going through a major shift and purging, Shep�s behavior
was hitting an all time unpredictability.
Whoever he happened to be around at the time, he become. He always joined in and seemed
to have no self control.
After a certain incident at school, he came home crying, �help me be good! I want to
be good! I don�t know how!�
I hugged him, and the only words that I could think to tell him were, �You are already
good. You have always been good. You just have to believe it. I will help you, but I
can�t do it for you. You have to believe it yourself.�
Shep made a decision that day to be true to himself, and his willpower shifted his entire
energy field. Although we had been clearing constantly, he had to reach a level of maturity
and awareness where he could let it go and stand strong in himself.
He changed who he was hanging around with at school as he could recognize their influence.
I told him, �You can still play with them as long as they are behaving in a way that
is true to you. And when they are not, walk away. You do not have to join in.�
I have to say, Shep�s older sister, Summer, has been a wonderful teacher of this lesson.
At ten years old, she has an ability of always being aligned with who she is. She can simply
observe from a neutral standpoint and never get carried away and join in.
Affirmations
We did a lot of them. We fine tuned them to project what Shep was wanting most of all;
to trust himself, and for his family to be able to trust him as well.
Shep wrote them out and we placed them where he could see them everyday as a reminder to
help solidify new beliefs into his being.
They were, �I am good. I am strong. I love myself. I can trust myself to always do what
is true for me. My family can trust me too.�
I did constant reminders to him when he would step out the door for school, �be strong
in who you are�, or �you will remember who you are�.
Eating clean, high vibration food
What we take into our bodies has to match the vibration that we are encouraging. Therefore,
as little processed food as possible, lots of organic fruits and veggies, if possible,
and lots of water. My kids have always been exceptionally thirsty during these shifts,
as we are moving a lot of energy and as we are mostly made of water, keeping hydrated
is essential. Shep still occasionally craves meat, but I always tell my kids, �listen
to your bodies�, so we ensure that the meat that is eaten has been ethically raised, which
for Shep, happens to be right here on our farm.
Connect with the Earth
Plant a garden or a planter box with your child. Develop a relationship with Nature.
Mother Earth is here for us as we are here for her. We form a connection and an interaction
by showing respect and kindness to all beings. Set an example by stepping around the bugs,
hugging the trees, and giving thanks to Mother Earth for the food that you eat or the home
that you live in.
I like to ask, �What does Nature have to teach me today?�
You will soon find Nature responding to you and �seeking you out.� Because as we change
the way we look at things, the things we look at will change.
One of the greatest gifts that we can teach our children is that magic is real and is
around us at all times. Encourage your child to help Nature with something as simple as
setting up a colorful bowl of water with stones for the bees and butterflies to land on while
they drink.
My children and I do regular garbage pick ups when we are out and about. I always tell
them, �Don�t expect somebody else to do it. If everybody picked up garbage every time
they seen it, what a different world this would be. Be kind to Mother Earth. She feels
everything you do and she�ll thank you in many ways.� This simple lesson will instill
responsibility for the world around them and hopefully a proactive approach to Life as
they grow up.
So many have the attitude, �it�s not my garbage, why should I pick it up?�
Well it�s not Mother Earth�s either, so pick it up! Your fellow species dumped it
there, so take responsibility for it.
Make self-love a daily routine.
Our children need to feel love for themselves if they are to heal and shine in their Highest
Expression. Every night at bed, and every morning when they wake up, I have my kids
look into a mirror and say �I love you.� Have them look straight into their own eyes.
Encourage them to go farther and give themselves compliments such as , �I love how unique
you are�, or �You are so kind to others, you really are making this world a better
place� or �You are important and are bringing light to this world.�
Lets face it, the days will go by regardless, so we may as well love ourselves and make
the choice to be happy with who we are.
Gratitude
By far, one of the fastest emotions to shift energy to a higher vibration. In the morning,
they can thank their bed for a good night sleep or they can thank a pet for their love
and comfort. There are literally opportunities for gratitude everywhere we look. And when
we are appreciative for what we have, we open our energy pathways to more things to be grateful
for. These are the basics that will spark an awakening and cultivate fulfillment and
contentment.
�Own your Weirdness�
Afraid of getting picked on, Shep was hiding his interests and his unique qualities that
make him special. I told him, �the things that make you weird are your gifts to the
world. These are the things that you need to be most proud of.�
We come into this world with gifts, and we are meant to share them. But this can be hard
when we are living in a world of conformity and judgement where just being yourself takes
great courage.
This hits a personal cord with me, as I have just been recently learning and owning this
lesson myself. I can now speak from experience that everything that I was hiding because
I was scared of not being accepted, were actually my most special, helpful gifts to the world
Encourage your child daily, and let them know that all amazing things in this world were,
at one time, weird.
Forgiveness
Is Shep still getting teased? Of course, as he goes to a public school. Shep is learning
that people will always have something to say to those who stand out. But he now knows
that he has the choice to let it bother him. He also knows that it is the most insecure
children that tease and bully others, so he actually feels compassion in knowing that
these children need love the most and are not feeling it. And it�s not that all of
these kids come from �troubled� homes either. It�s just that they simply do not
understand the basics of energy, because if they knew better, they would do better. When
we are truly loving and kind with ourselves, we cannot hurt others, as it simply will not
match our vibration. If they understood what they are feeding and bringing back upon themselves,
as energy always attracts energy of the same vibration, they would behave quite differently.
I also have Shep do cord cutting with anyone who upsets him, as well as a forgiveness exercise.
I have him imagine that person standing in front of him. Then I have him tell that person
everything that he would like to say to them. Let the person really have it, get it out.
Then he forgives them and thanks them for the lesson. Then we ask a Spirit guide to
cut any energetic cords that may be left. This way there is no �charge� left between
them, and Shep feels strong.
Shep looked at me like I was crazy the first time that I told him to thank a particular
someone who had been rude to him. But then we discussed how he had now learned what it
feels like to be judged, and that he would be more compassionate to others because he
knows how it feels.
Bullies are teachers. �Bad� experiences are teachers. Have your child ask, �What
am I supposed to learn from this?�
It is important to point out that we do not have to agree with what someone did to forgive
them. We are actually helping ourselves and taking back our power when we forgive.
Our children need to remember their power and their strength. And again, when things
don�t go the way we thought they should, we have a choice to learn something from it
and move on.
If your child is unhappy with their own previous behavior, have them do the forgiveness exercise
with themselves. They can also place anyone in front of themselves that they would like
to apologize to. This will clear and shift energy and allow your child to move forward
stronger in their own being.
Binaural Beats
With the advice from a wise, psychic friend of mine, I also had Shep listening to Binaural
beats, which help to develop pathways in the brain and balance energy. There are lots to
choose from on YouTube, and I let Shep listen to them and choose which ones he liked. For
about a month straight, he fell asleep to them and he would listen to them as soon as
he got home from school. His �beats� he called them, helped him feel calm and �happy�.
They were also a catalyst for clearing, and Shep did reach an all time high of dreams
during this time. A lot of his dreams were past life memories coming up to clear, and
they were not always pleasant. But after going through it, he is much lighter now. Comfort
your child through these times, listen to them, and don�t tell them it is just their
imagination, but let them know that they don�t have to be afraid and that it can�t hurt
them.
I have always been very honest with my kids about what is going on, and to them, it�s
not really a surprise. Actually, it makes perfect sense. They know that they don�t
have to attach to what is clearing, they can just watch it go. It isn�t always pretty,
but it is leaving them.
It was during this time that Shep was also having lots of pain in his third eye and crown
chakra areas. With the advice from my same friend, a dab of Vetiver essential oil was
really helpful when placed on these areas. But other grounding, earthy essential oils
would help as well, and there are many to choose from, so go with what feels best for
you. Some include frankincense, patchouli, sandalwood, lavender, to name a few.
A different friend was having the same issues with her children, and she found that a glass
of water with a teaspoon of Himalayan salt and a splash of lemon juice was helpful for
easing the pain as well. (this is also a great detox recipe)
Limit the Gadgets
While it is necessary for our children to know technology and be able to use it, it
does have to be limited. I can just �feel� their energy become imbalanced when they have
been in front of a screen for too long.
Remind your children that the world around them is real. Nature, people, animals, their
family. Make them aware that they are being sucked into something that isn�t real. Encourage
them to engage with the world around them. Play a game. Go for a walk. Notice what you
see/hear/smell around you. Engage their senses. Invite them into the kitchen and cook a healthy
meal together. Discuss the ingredients that you are using.
Limit your social media time when you are around them. Be comfortable in just sitting
in stillness while you are waiting. We do not always need to check our phones.
Encourage conversation with strangers instead while you are in a waiting room or at a check
out line.
This is your life. Be engaged. Accept it. Show up for it.
I have one last story that I would like to share that will display the growth and progress
that Shep has undergone, as well as the effectiveness of these exercises.
Last year, Shep took to wearing fake glasses, not because he needed them to see, but because
he liked the way he felt in them. They were a heavy, black framed �Clark Kent� style
of glasses that he would wear when reading, drawing, and writing stories. They seemed
to allow him to feel his creativity, and essentially, his �true� self.
We let him wear them, but I did warn him, �if you truly want glasses and keep saying
that you do, you will end up needing to wear them.�
One year later, we are at the eye doctor because Shep has difficulty reading and comes home
from school with sore eyes and a headache.
Yep. Shep needs glasses, for real, not pretend anymore.
As he was quite happily searching the wall of frames, a pair gabbed his attention. They
of course have thick frames and a �Clark Kentness� quality.
He excitedly tried them on and exclaimed, �I want these ones!�
The �helpful� lady working there smiled at me, and said �oh, but there are so many
to choose from, why don�t you try these ones on?� as she handed a very modern, thin
framed pair to Shep.
Shep looked at the glasses in her hand with disappointment, but politely he accepted them
and tried them on.
�Well those look nice on you�, the lady encouraged.
I could see Shep�s deflation from the excited little boy he was a moment earlier.
Looking in Shep�s eyes I said, �Shep, you are the one who is going to be wearing
these glasses, so it only matters that you are happy with them. Tell me, what does your
heart tell you?�
Shep�s eyes lit up and a smile flashed across his face. He swiped the modern frames off
his face and replaced them with the Clark Kent�s.
�These ones!�
Relieved to see his spark returned, I said, �Great. Then those are the ones. Don�t
even bother looking at the rest, they�ll only confuse you.�
Shocked, but not rude, the helpful lady measured up the Clark Kent frames and assured Shep
that they would work just fine.
The lesson for me?
To trust my child in making his own decisions.
Glasses are personal and for Shep, a creative way of expressing himself.
How could I interfere with that?
We are here to guide and protect, not control our children.
We went to the grocery store afterwards, and Shep noticed an elderly lady in the line up
behind us at the check out purchasing a couple big bags of cat food.
He whispered to me, �Mom, I�m going to help her lift those into her car.�
�That�s a wonderful idea, Shep. Go for it.�
So Shep and Summer offered their help and the lady, also shocked, but pleasantly surprised,
gladly accepted.
When Shep returned, he was beaming, �That felt so good! I love helping people!�
I was beaming as well, but not out of pride or ego, but out of joy for Shep. For he was
feeling who he truly is, the Shep that I would always catch glimpses of before he disappeared.
This is who we all are, and this is how we will create a peaceful world.
Shep told me not long ago, �Mom, I finally feel like people can see me. Before this,
I always felt like I was �behind the scenes�, and who everyone could see wasn�t really
me.�
You can imagine my relief and happiness as a mother to hear him say that.
Although Shep has had his �dark� times, he has emerged true to who he is. He had to
learn that happiness comes from within, and that it is not something external that happens
to us. It is a choice that we make every moment of every day. He had to learn to trust Life
so that he can trust himself. He is learning that our greatest challenges are our greatest
teachers.
We all emerge and grow more into ourselves everyday.
Everyday I ask, �Help me guide my children to their Highest Expressions of themselves.�
I have written many affirmations as well, stating that my children are strong in their
own beings and are aligning with the vibration of their soul purpose.
I realize that there will always be new challenges, but I have witnessed enough growth to know
that there are always tools and answers available to us, if we are open to them.
I have realized, as a parent, that my children are my greatest teachers and have helped me
emerge into my Highest Expression of myself.
(oh, and I have also mentioned to Shep that once he has grown tired of wearing glasses,
he can decide that he doesn�t want to wear them anymore)
I sincerely hope that you have found this helpful and I wish you joy on the journey.

Can Trey Gowdy and Elijah Cummings lead a probe together for the House Oversight Committee? - Duration: 8:00.
Can Trey Gowdy and Elijah Cummings lead a probe together for the House Oversight Committee?
The last time Trey Gowdy and Elijah Cummings oversaw a politically explosive investigation,
the two congressmen ripped into each other on national TV, as a grimacing Hillary Clinton
looked on.
With Washington in the grip of a new scandal over President Donald Trump and his team's
possible ties to Russia, Gowdy and Cummings appear set for a reunion that would test a
deeply divided Congress' ability to hold the White House to account.
Gowdy, a South Carolina Republican and former prosecutor, is the likeliest choice to succeed
outgoing Rep. Jason Chaffetz as chairman of the House Oversight Committee, which has broad
discretion to probe allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow.
The Baltimore-bred Cummings is the longtime top Democrat on the panel.
The Gowdy-Cummings relationship, forged over two years as the leaders of the House Select
Committee on Benghazi, is as complicated as it will be critical.
It's often harder for the executive branch to ignore bipartisan requests, which was a
difficult hurdle during the Benghazi probe.
The two men have squabbled publicly, but when the cameras are off, both profess respect
for each other and an ability to work together, however haltingly.
"They do have a good relationship, and I don't think Mr. Gowdy has any doubt that they
could work well together in a bipartisan fashion on the Oversight Committee," said Gowdy
spokeswoman Amanda Gonzalez.
Meanwhile, when Cummings was asked about the prospect of Gowdy getting the gavel, he responded:
"Whoever they send, I'm gonna be me."
So far, the Maryland congressman has managed to use his committee perch to unearth several
new revelations about former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, sometimes
working with Chaffetz and sometimes striking out on his own.
Gowdy has been less vocal on the issue of Russia's election meddling but was recently
given a leading role in the House Intelligence Committee's Russia probe.
Privately, aides to several Democratic committee members grumble that Gowdy could use his gavel
to protect Trump or lead the committee down tangents that divert focus from holding the
White House accountable.
"The main knock on Gowdy is he seems to be an advocate for one side or another rather
than an independent seeker of facts," said a Democratic aide who took part in the Benghazi
probe, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
The investigation into the 2012 attacks on U.S. facilities in Libya was "really a prosecution,"
said the aide.
Gowdy "was doing whatever he could to exclude what he called the other side, which was the
Democrats."
But Gowdy was also squeezed on the right, with some conservative lawmakers accusing
him of not being harsh enough on Clinton.
Some Democrats also worry that Gowdy would come with a bias toward investigating leaks
of classified information at the expense of a broader look at allegations of collusion
between Moscow and the Trump campaign.
"If Trey Gowdy is the best hope," said Jaime Harrison, former chairman of the South
Carolina Democratic Party, "then there's no hope at all."
Still, Democrats on the panel are reserving judgment and describe a pleasant rapport with
Gowdy.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, a liberal freshman lawmaker from Maryland and member of the Oversight
Committee, said in his few conversations with Gowdy, he discerned the South Carolinian's
"amiable and convivial spirit."
"That Southern charm goes a long way with fellow politicians," he said.
"As long as Democrats get the sense that he's interested in true investigation and
analysis rather than partisan collaboration with the administration, then we have a good
pathway forward."
Raksin noted that one prominent GOP Trump critic, Sen. Lindsey Graham, is also from
South Carolina, and that perhaps that showed Gowdy his constituents value an independent
streak.
Republicans regard Gowdy as a top-notch investigator and insist he will exercise independent judgment
if he becomes head of the committee.
And South Carolina Republicans say Gowdy may have conservative convictions, but he's not
beholden to the politics of Trumpism.
His district is primarily made up of mainstream, business-minded Republicans, and Gowdy endorsed
Sen. Marco Rubio in the 2016 Republican primary — a move that drew sharp condemnation from
Trump and his allies at the time.
In fact, at the time of the endorsement, Trump himself retweeted several followers who slammed
Gowdy, including one who said he "failed miserably" as chairman of the Benghazi panel
and that the endorsement would "finish Gowdy."
Gowdy was a member of the Trump transition executive committee, but he has taken pains
to shield himself from the appearance of being too close to the president.
The Trump-supporting Great America PAC plowed $5,000 into Gowdy's campaign account in March,
according to FEC records, but Gowdy returned the donation within days, according to Gonzalez,
his spokeswoman.
Gowdy "has never met Mr. Trump," Gonzalez added.
"He has never been to the White House.
He has no relationship with the president, nor has he ever spoken directly to the president."
This independence has not been lost on the White House, which is tracking the congressional
Russia investigations closely.
One administration official told POLITICO he worries that Gowdy could turn into a headache
for Trump since he is not driven by loyalty to the president and knows how to run a thorough
investigation that could take months if not years.
Gowdy also appears sensitive to the charge that he's too focused on leaks.
During a House Intelligence Committee hearing last week, as he grilled former CIA director
John Brennan, Gowdy intentionally saved his questions about leaks of classified intelligence
for the end, telling Brennan, with a sly smile, that he didn't want to be accused of concentrating
too much on the issue.
Former South Carolina GOP chairman Matt Moore said Gowdy was wary of appearing too partisan
while he was overseeing the Benghazi probe.
Moore said the party turned down "literally dozens of requests" for Gowdy to speak to
out-of-state fundraisers because Gowdy didn't want his oversight efforts to seem politicized.
"Trey Gowdy ... will put the country over politics," Moore added.
"He's done that throughout his career in lower-level offices.
He'll be less concerned about reelection than doing what's right for the country."
The steps Gowdy has taken haven't shielded him from complaints by Democrats who view
him as overtly partisan.
And Gowdy's Democratic critics — including those on the Benghazi panel — have a laundry
list of complaints about him, many of them documented in the report released by Democrats
at the conclusion of the Benghazi panel's work.
The probe led by Gowdy was "a case study in how not to conduct a credible, legitimate
investigation," the Democratic report said.
Democrats were excluded from some witness interviews, they wrote, calling the investigation
a "one-sided process in which Republicans selectively informed Democrats of witness
interviews only after-the-fact."
Democrats also noted that information from the investigation was selectively leaked to
the news media during the 2016 campaign, often leading to inaccurate stories that reflected
poorly on Clinton and her associates, and that when Democrats raised the issue with
Gowdy, he "refused to investigate or condemn" the leaks.
At least one other man may be wondering whether Gowdy and Cummings can forge a strong partnership:
Trump.
"Mr. Gowdy's a former prosecutor and he can certainly recognize the abuse of power
when he sees it," Raskin said.
"And whether it's him or someone else who takes the gavel, we hope that the new chair
will be guided by questions of public integrity and accountability rather than partisanship."
