Dear Essence Beings
The Brazilians were amazing!! I am always in awe of their deep connection to the Nature Spirits and their understanding of how to use essences when I travel to Brazil to teach. But the Brazilians in Port Renfrew were truly something to behold!! They walked our land with such reverence and respect and at the same time with such passion and curiosity. I am truly grateful for this experience with them. And in this lovely group energy we co-created I know we all learned and received healing.
This month we finally have some words for 3 of the new good vibrations – New Attitudes, Detox and Shielding. Although not totally complete I am including it in this newsletter so that all of you can begin to understand how to use them. We will also offer them on special this month to encourage you to experiment with them. I gave a bottle of Shielding to a friend a couple of weeks ago. She was complaining about how depleted she felt sitting in front of a computer and within a day noticed the difference when using the Shielding essence. I feel certain that it is useful for shielding against harmful electrical emissions from cellphones and computers as well as shielding against radiation.
Another interesting Balancer story emerged this month. I ran into a friend who was working in the bookstore I frequent and she said: "I'm so glad you're here. My cat is dying and I really need an essence for the grief." I told her that I would get her some Purple Crocus but in the meantime gave her my own bottle of Balancer essence out of my purse. Next time I went into the store I had forgotten the Purple Crocus and asked how she was doing and she said: "I was going to send you an email I was really glad you gave me the Balancer. My mother died and I was able to give it to her when she was dying and use it myself. It was a godsend."
Balancer keeps showing me that the idea I had when it was our first combination in 1985 - that one day there should be a bottle of Balancer in everyone's medicine cupboard for all kinds of physical and emotional traumas. We are getting amazing reports from Japan about its effectiveness for post traumatic stress.
This month Jamie focuses on taking care of yourself even when you’re not feeling very abundant and provides some insight into how the Empress archetype in the tarot cards can assist with that. And check out our specials this month - 25% off Balancer, New Attitudes, Detox and Shielding ... they have the power to transform your life!
With much love and many blessings
Detox and New Attitudes were designed by a French Canadian naturopath who is not allowed to make individual blends for his patients so needs to be able to give them ready made formulas. A great addition to our Good Vibrations!!!!!
New Attitudes
The formula is designed to assist people with long standing patterns, like excess weight, addictions and other habits which are not beneficial for us.
Three of the individual essences in the formula are :
- Forsythia, which provides motivation to transform old useless behaviour patterns and the first sea essence,
- Sand Dollar, which helps us to become aware of the roots of our dis-ease – i.e. bringing to awareness the stories we tell ourselves to keep us stuck in non life supporting behaviour. Another essence,
- Chickweed, helps in resolving weight related problems but also can apply to other repetitive useless behaviours, obsessions, addictions.
This combination is:
- a formula to remove difficulties and to allow one to 'switch on' commitment to transformation;
- to do whatever is necessary to let go of the past and to move towards who you want to be without doubts, questions or obstacles.
Detox
A subtle way to cleanse old energies which are preventing optimal functioning of each cell. Especially good for people who may be unable to use herbal detox programs due to chronic liver or colon weakness but still need to wash away old debris whether it is physical, mental, emotional or spiritual.
- Sea Lettuce is a powerful cleanser for the large and small intestines.
- Plantain is and unsurpassed mental cleanser and detoxifier.
- Green Tourmaline is a spiritual cleanser
This combinations works to:
- gently cleanse and revitalize all aspects of the Body/Mind
- should be used at least once a year especially in the spring
Shielding
This formula came about very specifically in response to the fear around radiation resulting from the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. Our Japanese customers were asking for essences which could assist them in this crisis and once we learned that there were actually a number of essences in our repertory which addressed toxic levels of radiation we were asked to create a ready to use formula specifically for this huge challenge.
- Brown Kelp energetically provides the iodine necessary to be shielded agains the harmful effects of radiation
- Malachite protects against radiation and also balances and regulates RNA/DNA structures, and cleanses cellular structure
- Tourmaline (Black) is an energy deflector for all kinds of radiation and other negative energies
This combination will have many uses beyond the current situation ...
- it will assist with deflecting all kinds of radiation and electrical environmental toxins
- it will assist the user to feel safe and protected so that no energy is wasted in fear and worry states
Greetings, Abundant Friends,
Today, I am The Empress! You might not recognize me with my radiant crown of stars and my Venus-inscribed shield, lounging on my comfy throne out here in the garden, but really, it's me!
You see, every morning, I draw a tarot card, seeking insight or guidance or just a pat on the back. Most days, it's easy for me to understand the card I pick. For example, two days ago, just after my business partner and I unknotted and nicely resolved a difficult issue between us, I drew the Eight of Cups, signifying organized, harmonious emotions between two people.
Nice affirmation, right?
And a few weeks ago, right before I received a crushing (but ultimately helpful) blow to my ego, my morning tarot card revealed The Tower, which warns of an impending, yet unexpected, smashing of a false or out-grown structure that the personality hides behind. (Sure, it was still painful, but with The Tower card's input in mind, I was more easily able to use the difficult incident as a life lesson, rather than just feel victimized by it.)
As I said, in most cases, it's pretty easy for me to interpret the meaning of the card I draw each morning, gain a little insight, and go on with my day.
But not today. Today, I drew the golden-haired, sensuous, full-bellied Empress, who sits on a cushioned throne set in a wonderfully lush and verdant garden. "The Empress?" I asked myself. "What on earth does this well-nourished, nurturing, nature-woman have to do with me?"
So out of sync was I with the attributes The Empress exemplifies--wealth, health, indulgence, nourishment, fecundity, fertility, creativity--that staring at her, I found myself starting to cry! Not a good beginning to my day--and yet, certainly, there was something to be gained from noticing the dis-ease I felt when confronted with the warm, mothering archetype The Empress represents.
To try to discover the message the beautiful Empress had delivered, I decided to spend my day emulating her qualities as best I could, both by offering my nurturing out into the world and by making sure to nurture myself as well. Then, I thought, I'll observe the results.
Since the Empress is a true Nature Girl, I began my Empress activities in my tiny back yard. We're in the middle of a drought here in Central Florida, and all of the shrubs around my patio looked dry and desperate. Embodying the Empress's nurturing role, I grabbed a hose and gave each thirsty plant a lovely, long drink. While they were soaking, I snipped and trimmed and clipped and swept--and within just a couple of hours, the yard looked well-tended, and well-loved. And I felt renewed, too, because as the plants had been absorbing the water, I'd been absorbing their vibrant green energies.
Aaaah. It seemed The Empress's wisdom was already beginning to have an effect.
But there was still the self-nurturing part of my Empress day to be created. For that, I headed off to a community-owned, vegetarian restaurant, Dandelion Communi-Tea, located not too far from my house. At Dandelion, they purchase produce from local farms and serve food that is delicious, organic, healthy, and created with a wonderful attitude of gratitude and awareness--all of which makes Dandelion perfect Empress territory! But since their menu is just a bit on the pricey side, it's a treat I rarely allow myself. But today, I needed to feel the nutrients that both their goodwill and their good ingredients supply. So, with The Empress card backing me, I headed to Dandy.
After placing my order at the front counter (black bean burrito, cucumber gazpacho, and strawberry iced tea), I tucked myself into my favorite corner at Dandelion--on the gold-upholstered couch in the very back room. That's the room that looks out onto the community garden. It's also the room with the bookcase full of magazines and paperback books. And the piano. And the artwork on the walls.
Over the three hours I spent on my Empress-gold couch, several other diners came and went. With them, I shared brief, pleasant conversation. From the kitchen just across the hall, I was bathed in the classical music the cooks were dicing, slicing, and baking to. Out of the well-stocked community bookcase, I rummaged a number of art magazines to enjoy. And in the warm sunlight that fell across its pages, I scribbled in my journal, recording all my Empress-y blessings.
Oh, yeah. And I ate the best black bean burrito in the whole, wide world!
By the time I wandered back out into the world, I felt truly renewed. Finally, I'd had an entire day in which I had chosen to nurture and be nurtured in equal measure. I'd experienced hour upon hour without worry about money or the future or what I should be doing that I wasn't. I'd reveled in the green of leaves and the gold of sunlight. I'd enjoyed my long draughts of comfort and community.
Today was a day built upon this realization: Without the giving and receiving of true nourishment, a spiritual drought can creep unnoticed into every aspect of my life causing my own leaves to wilt and my creative self to crack and dry. Thank heavens, The Empress stepped in just in time, reminding me to drink deep from the well of goodness that surrounds me every day!
Abundance 101: It's your turn. You be The Empress, and impress us with tales of your nurturing ways. How can you nourish yourself and others? What simple steps can you take to keep your own life creative, green, and alive?
