Eating on a budget

Ironic you reply dealing with 'tea time' today...I had just purchased a tea set and tea, and had planned on starting the tea ritual today. Looking forward to it, save scrubbing it down(came from a thrift shop). I thought the ritual might calm my son down a bit...he's been extraordinarily hyper lately, and expressing it violently. Not good.
I find these rituals you've described very interesting; going to try giving them a shot...especially the 'face wash'. I get stressed easily, and I wear it on my face.
I'm finding nuts and seeds do go a long way...except me with almonds. I love them too much!
Thanks for all the advice! Going to share the Qigong and Tai Chi techniques with my husband as well. He'll find it interesting.

Good luck with the exercises and drinking the tea. Maybe you could slip a couple of drops of Rescue Remedy from Bach Flower Remedies in your son's water, that will have a calming effect

I'll look into that next time I'm at the natural foods store. We did find a natural children's vitamin that seems to be improving his mornings...shame he needs a whole new bottle if he's to take it to school and use it for the afternoon. Must be new and sealed or they won't accept it!
