Types of dissociation

1.
Amnesia –
this is when you can’t remember incidents or experiences that
happened at a particular time, or when you can’t remember personal
information.

2. Depersonalisation – a feeling that your body is unreal, changing
or dissolving. It also involves out of body experiences, such as seeing
yourself as if watching a movie or floating above.

3. Derealisation – the world around you seems unreal. You may see
objects changing in shape, size or colour, or you may feel that other
people are robots or generally unreal.

4. Identity confusion – feeling uncertain about who you are. You may feel as if there is a struggle within to define yourself.

5. Identity alteration – this is when there is a shift in your role
or identity that changes your behaviour in ways that others would
notice.

How to Render Beeswax

Cover your counters and floors around where you will be working to ensure a quick and easy clean up in case of any wax spill.

Create a double boiler by filling a pot with water and nestling a second pot inside the first. heat the water to a calm boil.

Empty your ‘dirty’ honeycomb from your honey harvest into the
second pot and allow it to melt completely, keeping an eye that the wax
itself does not begin to boil.

When the wax is completely melted, remove it from the heat and pour
it through a cheesecloth into a cardboard milk carton that you have cut
the top off of.

Allow the wax to harden, then rip the carton away from the wax.

Honey will have settled around the wax. save some for your tea and rinse the rest off with cool water in the sink.

Your wax is now clean and ready to be used however you desire! time to make some balms or candles!

“Severe separations in early life leave
emotional scars on the brain because they assault the essential human
connection: The [parent-child] bond which teaches us that we are
lovable. The [parent-child] bond which teaches us how to love. We cannot
be whole human beings- indeed, we may find it hard to be human- without
the sustenance of this first attachment.”
