Beyond Aromatherapy: Essences of a Different Nature
By Rene Votta
Now that you are use to working with flower essences, how about experimenting
with other essences? Like essences of nature, animals, birds, butterflies,
stones, shells, etc? Many companies are making true vibrational medicine with
these other essences and elixirs because they are not actually using any of the
"product" in the essence, just the VIBRATION of the product".
Meaning that no butterfly or bird or mammal was hurt in the process. And they
were not immersed in water as flowers are when making flower essences. Some
companies do not reveal how they get the vibrations into the liquid of the
essence, but many are put in through the use of music color, intention and/or
light. These other essences have the same healing abilities as flower essences
though, along with the same variations of usage
At www.spiritofnature.org Dancing Dolphin Essences are made with the element of
dolphin sounds. These healing frequencies impart the qualities of joy,
spontaneity, creativity, sensuality and Divine Love of the dolphins into the
essences. They are said to assist in transmuting the imbalance of the emotional
and spiritual problems they are used for, rather than just bringing these
problems to the surface as when flower essences are used alone.
This company also makes Bud Essences which are made from flower buds instead of
full blooms. They were originally developed for infants and children but have
been found to have great success for adults as well.
The Morning Star Company, owned by Lynx Graywolf, (www.morningstar.netfirms.com
) is the maker of many different types of essences. Their Animal Essence
sections include such essences as Australian, Pacific Northwest, India and South
American Bird Essences, Japan and Pleiadian Butterfly Essences, Hummingbird
Essences and Dolphin Essences. They have many other sections
including Gems, Shells, channeled Essences of the Ascended Masters; Astrological
Essences that even include Retrograde Essences for those interested in
Astrology. There is a whole set of Shamanic Essences, Mythological Essences,
Feng Shui and Angel Essences. You will find hundredsof butterfly essences at
this site because Ms. Graywolf had a moving experience with a Monarch butterfly
when she was a child that helped her cope with a very difficult situation. This
story can be found on her website
At www.rainbowcrystal.com you will find the normal flower essences such as
Bach�s and FES (mentioned in previous articles) along with a full range of
Animal Essence. They are listed alphabetically, so if you have a favorite
animal, or totem animal, you might want to check to see if they have an matching
essence. These essences include animals from all over the world. Although not
stated on the site, I believe these essences are connected to attributes we have
traditionally given to animals. Such as their Eagle Essence is for soaring
spirit, Hummingbird is for joy, Cheetah is for speed and focus, etc. So if you
feel a certain type of connection with any of these animals you might want to
check this site out.
The Pacific Sea Essences are made in British Columbia, Canada. The site, www
pacific.livingenergy.ca does not mention what these essences are used for. It
only gives the names of the essences which include such things as Sea Horse,
Coral, Barnacle, etc. Apparently you need to be drawn to these essences and
discover for yourself what they are good for. They also carry gem essences and
traditional flower essences.
