Review: Chakra Balance - Healing Music for Meditaion & Yoga

Chakra Balance: Healing Music for Meditation & Yoga Another gem from Sequoia, Chakra Balance - Healing Music for Meditaion & Yoga by David & Steve Gordon, contains 14-tracks that resonate with the chakras.  Harmonizing celestial sounds take you to your deepest truth, aligning one by one your chakras ... healing, connecting you to an authenticity that resides within.  Stregthening to the core, Chakra Balance is an invitation to healing.  Soothing and messaging the most sensitive and sacred parts of my spirit, when listening I feel lifted to a higher realm, where I am certainly not alone.

The album was specially composed with brain tones and frequencies that dissolve vibrational blocks and areas of resistance.  A difference you can feel.

Safari Ltd. - Education Toys For All Ages

I am a home schooling mommy!  Having the right tools has been my secret for many many years.  Safari Ltd. has been a treasure of find in the education development of my children.  Headquartered in Florida, Safari Ltd is an American manufacturer of educational animal and human replicas.  Their principle market is the United States where they sell mainly to museums, aquariums, zoos, arts and crafts stores, and educational stores. Safari Ltd. has exclusive license agreements with Pittsburg's Carnegie Museum of Natural History to produce one of the largest scale model dinosaur collections in the world and with the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California to produce a collection of scale model sea life replicas.  Born in 1982, Safari Ltd® has been making quality replicas and toys for over thirty years.  They support many global non-profit efforts in the fields of conservation, animal protection and ecologically sound business practices.  Green, sustainable, and thoroughly safety tested, Safari Ltd, is a name you can trust.  All of their products are phthalate-free and lead-free.

When looking at the wonderful selection Safari Ltd. has my creative juices started to flow and I was able to really utilize their replicas into my homeschooling lesson plans.  The website itself has lots of education material and it has become a great reference guide to the natural world. 

Here are a few ways we studied together, as a family, incorporating Safari Ltd. products into the lesson.  I am especially fond of family lessons because it helps us all bond ... and honesty how much do you really remember from school??? 



Lesson 1:  The Ocean

For this lesson, the focus was more on basics of the ocean beach, such as sand, shells and animals.  For this lesson, the husband, my self and the children took a trip to the ocean ... so much fun.  For this lesson I used several Safari Ltd. products: the Hermit Crab (pictured to the left - cute isn't it?), the Life Cycle of a Green Sea Turtle, Sealife Megatube and the Seashells tube.  On our way to the ocean, in the motorhome, we played some games, discussing all of these products and rewarding points for the correct answers.  Then points were rewarded to anyone who saw any sealife, a crab (any crab was okay in our game), a turtle or any stages of a turtle (which got extra points) and any of the shells.  The shells in the tube are so life like ... gorgeous!!!  When we got to the beach we began to explore.  Any questions the children had I wrote down, if I did not know the answers, and I looked them up later.  Having the replicas was wonderful because it gave the children something to identify with and look for when we were at the beach.  This was the funnest beach trip we ever took.


 Lesson 2: The Peacock

For this lesson, we planned an outing to the local zoo.  I had all sorts of great information on some print outs available in my bag, as well as this cute peacock replica from Safari Ltd.  The detail of this piece is incredible.  My girls love this Safari Ltd. Peacock and they play with it all the time.  I also studied up on the symbol of the peacock and shared this with my husband.  I love learning together as a family ...


Lesson 3: The Dragon

The dragon has such rich symbolism throughout literature.  For the little ones, I shared some basic stories that included a dragon and we discussed the dragons' role in books and movies, as well as described the characters of each dragon. Having the dragon figure for the children helped tremendously.  I asked them whether on not they should make friends with the dragon or not.  A good question ... What do you think?








Lesson 4: Electricity and Conductivity

This energy ball helps to teach the principles of electricity and conductivity.  It made teaching a difficult subject for me much easier.  It sure helped me learn.

Safari Ltd. is awesome.  I cannot recommend them enough.  They have great prices too!!!

Review: Jade Balsa Superlight Yoga Block

The first thing my husband said when we received this balsa block in the mail was, "This is what they make pipes out of" and he is right.  Balsa, a rapidly renewable resource is harvested from the balsa tree, just outside of rainforest areas.  

Made from100% balsa wood, this jade yoga black is light and soft, perfect for asanas that require a block.  a rapidly renewable resource, harvested from the balsa trees outside of rainforest areas. There is no scent, that I can detect anyway and the block is a nice neutral, tan, woodsy color.  If you love natural products as much as I do, this block is a must-have.  These blocks are especially nice for the traveling yogi.

Through its partnership with Trees for the Future, Jade preserves 100 square feet of rainforest for each block sold.  slightly in weight and appearance. Through its partnership with Trees for the Future, Jade preserves 100 square feet of rainforest for each block sold.

Review: Lenormand Cartomancy

Lenormand Cartomancy
This deck was created in the Lenormand tradition.  Marie-Anne Lenormand was the greatest celebrity fortune teller of the Napoleonic Era.  Illustrated in vibrant, semi-abstract color, by Christopher Butler, this deck is interesting and unique.  I learned a lot simply using the deck.

For more information, please visit Schiffer Books.

Review: The Stone Circle Oracle: Transformation Through Meditation

The Stone Circle Oracle: Transformation Through Meditation deck is simply lovely ... colorful, with gorgeous images and truly inspirational messages.  The Stone Circle, located in the Allegheny Mountains of south-central Pennsylvania, serves as the backdrop for this unique and lavishly illustrated oracle and meditation deck of 45 cards and book, together in a magnetic closure box.

Stunning ... 

 




Review: Tree of Life Oracle

The Tree of Life Oracle is a beautiful deck of cards, that connects you to nature and of course ... the blessed and magical trees.  If you have ever found solace, safety and intuitive wisdom through the trees, this deck is for you.  The Tree of Life Oracle contains 30 beautiful image cards and an accompanying booklet.

I am extremely fond of this deck.

Review: Chris P. Bacon's My Life So Far...

Chris P. Bacon is an adorable baby pig, who was born without the use of this back legs.  His adopted dad, veterinarian Len Lucero, posted a video online of tiny Chris learning how to use a cart made out of toys and Chris went viral.  


My Life So Far is an inspiring story, told by Chris P. about his life. The story is filled with positive and uplifting messages, especially for those who are considered "different".  Chris is showing the world how great being unique and different really is.



The children really love this book and enjoyed finding Chris getting around on the videos that are posted on youtube.



I received this book for free from Hay House Publishing for review purposes. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience


Review: Baby Spa

BabySpa is a great line of all-natural, eco-friendly baby and toddler products.  They are all 98% to 100% natural, free of parabens, phthalates,sls, pegs, and mineral oil. BabySpa has a large selection of products, including milk baths, shampoos, creams, oils, lotions, body washes and more.  BabySpa has different products, depending on what stage of growth a child is in, a unique system - I really like it! 

BabySpa holds the belief that the special connection between mother and child begins with the power of touch.

I was recently contacted to do a review for Baby Spa and received some samples of their products: moisturizing body lotion and 3-in-1 tearless shampoo.  The first thing that I notices about both of these is the scent of the products, which is clean and refreshing.  They do not have the traditional added perfume scent that most baby products contain.

The tearless shampoo (stage 2) works ... no tears, just squeaky clean.  The lotion is rich and creamy, working well especially in the colder and dryer winter months.

Exceptional Quality, Reasonable priced, Safe, Green ... What's not to love!!!

5 Stars!
