Earth is gracious
in her bounty and has given us all the tools
we could ever need to live a happy, productive
life filled with beauty and service to others
and ourselves. Whatever we have around us
in our immediate environment can be used
to help us evolve; the plants in our gardens,
the trees in our forests, the wind, the sun,
the stars . . . All of Creation.
Everything in existence is energy, and its
form is created by a series of overlapping
energy patterns that define its characteristics.
Each overall pattern is unique unto itself
and that individual. Every experience that
we have creates a pattern in our energy field
and that pattern either helps energy move
through our bodies and lives, or it inhibits
the movement. As we shift and change our
thoughts and beliefs about the world and
ourselves, often the old patterns will no
longer work for us.
Flower/Vibrational Essences are unscented
infusions of the spiritual or energetic qualities
or attributes of a particular flower, crystal,
color, symbol, seed, metal, fruit (or combination
of these and other organic elements) in water
with a preservative. They are designed to
create a level of consciousness that helps
us to rapidly change, alter, remove and improve
our beliefs about ourselves. Essences release
our unconscious mental and emotional patterns
that keep us repeating behaviors we know
are unproductive for us. Each Essence has
a pattern to it, which fits into the patterning
we carry in our energy field. The Essences
either complete a part of our aura that allows
us to grow or they act like a key in the
lock of a door and open us to new aspects
of ourselves. This allows us to accept ourselves,
move through transitions, accelerate our
growth and helps all things around and involved
with us to grow too.
Because Essences are energy, they are Creation
and have their own intelligence. They know
where to go in your system to bring your
body, mind, emotions and spirit into balance
with each other and your world. They are "programmed" --
intended to release energy blockages (core
issues) at the root or causal level. We may
feel we have an emotional block in our consciousness,
yet that blockage might actually be held
in an unconscious mental belief we have about
ourselves. We could work for a long time
on the emotional aspects of the issue and
not be able to resolve it because it is the
symptom rather than the root. Essences deal
with the root.
Sometimes when you release the root of a
pattern, the change is so profound that you
can't even remember the way you used to do
things. Usually, the core parts of our patterns
reside in our collective beliefs in unworthiness
and lack of self-love. We, in the United
States, have been raised in a Christian culture,
whether we were raised Christian or not.
Because of that, our collective belief or
illusion is that we have been born with original
sin, so we are unworthy from our very beginnings
on this planet.
Changes can run the gamut from very subtle to quite dramatic. Here is an example:
Lisa had an eating disorder for 26 years.
She exhibited both anorexic and bulimic behavior.
She would have panic attacks when she would
do her grocery shopping, always wondering
if she was going to be good or bad, if she
was going to hurt herself. She was actively
looking for solutions, fearing her young
sons would catch her purging. She was in
a store when an Essence caught her attention.
She was attracted to it before she read the
description and after reading what its purpose
was, she bought it. On her way home she needed
to go shopping. She sat in the parking lot
and thought to herself, "what do I have
to lose?" and took the Essence. When
she went into the store, this is what she
experienced:
Everything was different - the
light seemed different and I had no anxiety,
no emotion at all. I did my shopping, paid
and left the store. When I got back in my
car I burst into tears. I knew I would never
hurt myself again.
Lisa has maintained herself without manifesting
her old behaviors for the last five years
since taking the Essence. She also found
the root of the behavior through taking Essences.
When she was 5 and getting ready to have
an eye operation, her uncle, who was like
a parent to her, said, "Lisa, you'll
never be beautiful but I'll always love you." That
comment, made with all good intention, began
the creation of a pattern that four years
later manifested as anorexia and bulimia.
How to use them . . .
how to choose them
Essences are Earth, people, children, plant
and animal friendly. They are traditionally
taken internally under the tongue or in a
small glass of water. You can use them in
food, put them in your personal products
(shampoos, lotions, etc.), use them in the
bath, use in rituals, use with children,
plants and animals. They are used to focus
your intention.
With Essences, much like homeopathy, less
is more. One drop of an Essence is more potent
than three drops. Many practitioners will
give you a protocol for taking your Essences.
So many drops, so many times a day for a
certain number of days. I suggest using 1-3
drops first thing in the morning to set your
energy frequency for the day. As you start
using Essences and feel the differences when
you take them you will start to know when
you need them.
You can choose Essences many different ways:
Read the names and descriptions and note
which one sounds or feels "right." Use
Kinesiology (muscle testing), intuition,
guidance, and instinct. Check the energy
of the Essence for you or another by holding
the Essence to your heart or passing your
hand over it to sense the vibration. There
truly is no right or wrong way to choose.
Simply pick and use the Essence(s) with which
you feel most comfortable.
Kinesiology is a way of testing the electrical
system of the body to determine what maintains
or increases its ability to channel and direct
energy for positive, life-enhancing results.
I also recommend a form of Kinesiology that
you can do yourself: its purpose is to teach
us to trust what we already known to be true:
-
Stand holding the bottle or a piece
of paper with the name of the Essence written
on it with both hands. (Multiple pieces
of paper chosen at random and tested individually
can get your intellect out of the process,
or having someone else hand you the bottles
when your eyes are closed). This creates
a circuit and balances the masculine and
feminine aspects of our nature.
-
Hold the bottle at the heart or solar
plexus. Close your eyes, making sure your
knees aren't locked.
-
Settle and center
yourself and ask a yes/no question,
making it as specific
as you can. "Is this good for me?" is
usually too general. The more specific
you can be, the clearer your answer.
Look at the recurring patterns in
your life
and see how they connect. That's
where the root of the patterns exists
and
locks up your ability to make changes.
Therefore,
questions that are more specific
will help you to get the clearest
response.
Examples:
Would this Essence assist me to my
next level of spiritual growth? Would
this help
me to release the emotional trauma
of my childhood? Will this help me
to know and
express my authentic self in the
world?
-
If the answer is "yes," your
whole body will move forward. If it is
a "no," your whole body will
move back. Sometimes you will do the "hula" -
a back and forth movement that indicates
possible benefit, or you will stay
still (neutral). You are using your
body like
a pendulum and matching the energy
patterns or sine wave signature in
your auric field
to the energy patterns found in the
essence, to neutralize or change
behaviors.
This testing experience can be subtle or
quite dramatic. This is about your getting
in touch with you. Ultimately,
you are the only one who can know what is
right for your system. Most people have that
level of self-knowing in a dormant or sleeping
state. These techniques, and the Essences
themselves, are designed to awaken, enhance,
nurture and empower your own innate abilities.
Utilize the Gifts of the Goddess, connect
with Flower/Vibrational Essence. They will
lead you to your own true Essence.
