Balanced Brain ~ Thriving Child

Kim Lowack

Smell-Based Brain Activation

Equipment: Essential Oils

(I prefer Young Living Oils and I have a seller's account where you can get 10% OFF with code SHAREYL -  but please feel free to buy them anywhere you would like.)

How to achieve maximum benefit of Smell Activation

  1. Use in conjunction with one or more other brain activations (sound, light, color)
  2. Use before focused attention is needed for an activity
  3. Use to assist in calming anxiety - great before bed or after a full day at school or overstimulation
  4. Use before exercise sessions for maximum brain activation and balancing.

Frequency:

  • As desired
  • Place oil on the SAME SIDE of hemisphere weakness -  it can be placed on the nostril directly, or on the collarbone or collar of the shirt on the same side

R Hemisphere weakness = Right side using PEPPERMINT, FRANKINCENSE, LEMON

L Hemisphere weakness = Left side using LAVENDER, STRAWBERRY, APPLE, ORANGE

**SMELL IS UNIQUE AND WE WILL SEE A DIMINISHED ABILITY TO SMELL IN THE SAME SIDE NOSTRIL AS HEMISPHERE WEAKNESS**

We will use the smell that is assigned above to the nostril/shirt - YOUR CHILD DOES NOT GET TO CHOOSE/VOTE on THIS ONE =-)
