"The wild Luisa"
After your dear comments to my post about Iris Jerman's book, here are a few words about one of my favorite stories from it: It is about the wild
Luisa. The girl has often times quite annoying days, how many of us.
One of these days she is by her father after an argument early sent to bed, what you do not fit on a sunny fall day. In the dream she slides down the long slide in the garden at once infinite in deep burrows with shimmering walls, strange beings, surrounded by earthy odors. At the light at the end of many caves and passages, she meets the mother of all storms, the winds are their children. The north wind has overslept and Luisa will wake him up, otherwise there is no winter in the human world. With all her strength, courage and "fidgeting" she can make him awake, walk around with him and his snow clouds, the earth. She returns to our world with a snowflake obsidian, which they can not doubt their journey. The first snow day is here, with one, on this day especially balanced Luisa.
This fairy tale has something of the shamanic out in the middle, shows the focus on turn exuberant Energy to their positive experience. I was happy in my children's fragrance workshops the kids can join in as a spontaneous role play. Before I spray with the vanilla-white fir-myrtle room spray. With a few large organza scarves in earth tones will bring with Vetiver or Patchouli "musty" smell, bright colors and fresh scents of the winds, a large bowl with nuts, coconut and cranberries, rooibos tea as a tonic after work and a little treasure chest with semi-precious stones, which they can choose to go off. If enough time, I let her in the cave a desire light before it separates from the adopt "elders," the mother storm.

The Clause At The End Of Email
Just follow your nose ....
is the title of the now out of print book by Iris Jerman. The former special education teacher told us in a loving way of scent stories, child development, points to burn-out symptoms in children already. Her book is a treasure trove of wonderful fragrances in everyday life and in school. Mixtures that we have forgotten the "modern" aroma practitioners sometimes almost. The magic shampoo, massage the elephant ear on the learning of the ABC's with scents, the corn mother Luisa history and wild experiences they have noted. What I particularly like - it erninnert us that there is no single plan can not be absolutely right or wrong on our roads. One of my favorite fragrances is the result of their "magic fragrance."
A warm, special fragrance that creates not only during Advent atmosphere. The myrtle and white pine, the upper and lower airways are stimulated. Both have an antiseptic on the air through the limonene in the white fir, while stabilizing the wood oil, calming and clarifying with esters of myrtle, with the vanilla oil connection to the inner child, anxiolytic and warm.
