Beyond Aromatherapy -continued
The Australian Native Tree Essences at http://web.archive.org/web/20030816093348/http://www.adweb.com.au/sabian/flower
htm consist of the healing vibrations of 13 native trees. There is a chart that
gives the basic healing quality of each tree along with its color, spirit and
Overseeing Deva. They are also related to the moon cycles and human chakras.
Collectively they are called the Self-Growth Essences.
The Environmental Essences from http://web.archive.org/web/20030816093348/http://www.earthspirit.com.au/usingthe.htm
contain unique vibrational healing qualities that are imprinted from a powerful
sacred site or during a unique earth, celestial or elemental event. By attuning
to the energies within the environment and working in co-operation with the
devas and elementals, these energetic patterns are imprinted on water. No
physical properties are used in preparation of these essences. Natural spring
water or water collected from the source acts as a conductor of the energy, and
a small amount of alcohol is added as a vibrational preservative. Some of the
essences are winter solstice, spring
equinox, storm, lunar and solar eclipse and even one made at the stadium during
the Olympic games called Olympiad.
Pegasus Products (http://web.archive.org/web/20030816093348/http://www.pegasusproducts.com/)
have some very unique essence made from the energy of shapes! These include the
cube, dodecahedron icosahedrons, octahedron and tetrahedron. They also have
essences made with the vibrations of different gasses! Some of these are argon,
carbon dioxide, helium, neon, etc. Then there are those with the essences of
stars and planets. Gurudas (the maker) was a pioneer of essence making, having
written many books on the subject. This is a huge site, well worth spending some
time at as there are well over a thousand essences.
Water Song Essences at http://web.archive.org/web/20030816093348/http://www.watersongsanctuary.com/come
from a 7 acre sanctuary by Boulder, Colorado. The essences here are based on
earth and animal energies. There is a good selection of insect essences, animal,
tree and plant (flower) essences, mineral, bird, earth locations and energy
essences. This maker was influenced by Machaelle Small Wright, the woman who
pioneered working with nature spirits.
You can see by this short list that there are now many essences besides flowers
that can help you in your quest for health and happiness. These essences are
just as powerful as flower essences. There are so many different types of these
essences that I would suggest that you start out the same way you did with
flower essences. Choose something that calls to you, or that you feel
comfortable with. For example: take your favorite wild animal, like the
wolf. Go to the companies that have animal essences and read the
descriptions of their wolf essence. Then experiment with that energy for a
while.
From there you might want to try more animal essences, or move on to something else familiar like butterflies or hummingbirds. There are many essence companies to choose from that carry these. After this you may want to venture out and explore the other new realms of essences. I am particularly drawn to gas essences! Perhaps you’d prefer to try a shape (cube, etc.) essence or location essence. Maybe a weather essence would be more healing to you.
These essences open up new worlds of
possibilities. It should be telling you that ANY type of object that you are
drawn to can contain a vibrational energy that is there to help you, to be of
service to you in some way. You could sit with your favorite object, become
still inside, and see what vibration or message comes to you from the object.
This is the pure vibrational, spiritual "medicine" that Shamans all
over the world have practiced since time began. Open your beliefs, develop your
intuition and start experimenting on your own.
