Child Harmony Blend by Essential three for Children with Autism/Aspergers




Most of my readers know that I have a child with Aspergers.  It is very hard to deal with sometimes.  Do not get me wrong most times he is the most loving, empathic child I ever met.  He does have a few meltdowns.  They are rare now but now I know I can head them off. 

I have heard tons of great things with essential oils.  How they can heal, calm and do so much more.  It is a fact for me because I have used lavender on me for a while.  I have awful tremors that require all the help I can get.  My arms and legs shake bad.  Mostly I use Chamomile and lavender for me to calm my herbs. They really help me and I know they do work.  I would love to try the adrenal blend by Essential Three for me sometime. 

Here are a few sites on the health benefits of essential oils:
  1. http://www.care2.com/greenliving/9-essential-oils-with-huge-health-benefits.html
  2. https://www.organicfacts.net/organic-oils/natural-essential-oils/list-of-essential-oils.html 

 Here is what Essential three site:
  1. Child Harmony Spray
  2. Child Harmony Oil Blend

Recently I got a chance to try Essential three's Child Harmony Blend which is great for children with Autism, ADHD and many others.  My son uses the spray or roll on when he starts feeling the slightest bit upset as it begins and it works like magic!  He even notices himself calming down within minutes of using the oil.  He likes them and carries them in his tote along with his Nintendo DS so he can use them at any time.  He needs it the most when we are out at the store because he really hates stores.  He rubs it on and boom he is fine and starts playing his game system while I shop.  It does not get easier....

My son has improved on this product and actually likes to use it!

I highly recommend this for any family but especially for the ones dealing with things such as Autism and or Aspergers.

Feeling Inadequate

Really, I am so out of it I had to spell check the word.  I know I am just overwhelmed.  Life is Life different for all and overwhelming for me.  Like the title of this post I am feeling inadequate.  Admitting life is overwhelming does not make you a weaker person.  It makes you human.  That is what we are and all we can be.  Yes, I still strive to be perfect but I know there is a limit I have.  I homeschool, blog, I try to cook and clean but my body is falling apart so I detest I can only do so much.  I have many hobbies but never have the time to do them.  Yes, Yes, I know all this but I still feel Inadequate to be the perfect mom I want to be.  My son and husband are physically and mentally handicapped and I am physically disabled.

Being disabled... Is so frustrating excepting limits.  I always compare myself to a normal person.  I feel like my own body is against me.  You think of yourself as normal and then your body works against you and it humiliating.   Sometimes life is too much.  What could be worse than your own body working against you? Lots I guess.  I was the person that cleaned to the t.  I was very anal about cleaning.  I cooked, walked, cleaned and worked several jobs and now I am very limited to what I can do.  It is like your own body is betraying you. 

Autism, My son has Asperger's Autism.  Yes, I feel blessed having a special child.  God gives special kids to special people, I been told and I try to remember that every day. God thinks a lot of me because he does not give you more than you can handle.  Wow, I been through hell and back with life. 

Victim.  I refuse to be.  This world is full of victims or people playing the victim.  Enough is enough.  I had a bad childhood and it was not my parents fault it was because I was molested for years yet the person who did it refuses to admit it and turned the family against me.  My parents were the best they could be when I was growing up and could not of asked of more from them.   No one is perfect with the first child.  To the man that did this to me.  . I Forgive him.  Even when he makes me out to be a liar.  I would take a lie detector in a heart beat.  Would he?   I will not be a victim. You do not know how hard that is but I need to so I can heal and not be a victim.

I truly forgive everyone.  Hate is not a way to live.  It may get you through things but it changes you and makes you into a dark and lonely person.   It turns you from wine to vinegar.  Life is too hard.. Why make it harder? 

Life is crazy, I just need my peace to make it through.  My peace.. What is that?  My faith is part of it.  My love for my child, knowing life has a purpose,  feeling accomplished and know that since I am worried about what kind of mother I am lets me know I am a good mom because I care about messing up. 

Thanks for reading and being here through my Journey of life.
