Many personal and societal patterns are born from the heart with a noble intent to love, comfort, protect... or some other good purpose. Over the years, much like playing telephone, the original message becomes distorted or misinterpreted, perhaps altered to suit the whims of a parent, leader or society. Reach back and find the original root source of these traditions and bring it forward to serve the highest and best good of all.

Firefly lights the path enabling you to maintain awareness of your connections without being attached to them. Keeps your spiritual path clear of unnecessary clutter.

Plant Kingdom

featherhawk Plant Kingdom Essences balance and harmonize the electrical network throughout the Whole of You. These divine frequencies are exquisitely expressed in these remedies from the many flowers, plants and trees of nature.

Energetic and Environmental Essences

These high vibrational essences help you explore your inner and outer environment. Drawn from energies and aspects of nature that are less concrete than plants, animals and minerals, they are every bit as much a part of our daily lives.

They call in energies from the surrounding outer environment (i.e. Niagara Falls, Full Moon, and Cloudbows), and the inner environment (i.e. Abandonment, Battle, and Vision).

They are co-created by attuning to places and situations, concepts, feelings, and the inner muse, inviting these aspects of Nature to share their power with you.

The Energetic and Environmental essences help you gain perspective and embrace todays rapid pace of change and transformation with clarity and joy.

The Essences

Abandonment When you feel abandoned by another, look within yourself. Know you are the only one who can abandon you. Return to yourself, reclaim your power, and ask for what you want. This is an excellent remedy for rescued, abused, neglected and abandoned animals, helping them restore a sense of self and remembering they are loved.

Anasazi Honor the mystery. Let go of your attachment to what you think you "know," allowing yourself the gift of new discovery.

Angelic Carekeeper Enfolding Angelic presence and support. For sheltering innocence. Facilitates the unfolding of soulular memory (life purpose), integrating it into your present life experience.

Autumnal Equinox Acknowledge the bountiful harvest of all you have achieved to date; for self-validation and new beginnings. Re-evaluate present circumstances and refocus your life purpose.

Battle Consciously embrace the battle within and without - the suffering, sorrow and struggle within yourself and out in the world. Allow the gathered energy to rest with you, to be noticed apart from feelings of conflict or chaos, and to become the soil in which new seeds of peace, patience and compassion are nourished. Recognize every battle as an opportunity for growth and sustenance. Be willing to step away and shift your perspective and actions when needed.

Boundaries Self identity; release what drains away your energy. Supports the shift from boundary as wall that keeps you in or others out, to boundary as flexible perimeter. For understanding yourself as part of the greater whole, while retaining individuality, claiming your space, and making your unique contribution.

Cloudbows Through joy, attract the highest Spiritual realms and grant them access to your Mind and Heart. Experience understanding and connection with All That Is aiding the cooperation of thinking and feeling and the integration of Ego and Soul for innovative service. (Cloudbows are the beautiful pastel rainbow colors that you may sometimes see in clouds, most often as the sun is setting in the late afternoon.)

Double Rainbow Shatters the illusion of separation. We live in a world of relationship to all of Life, seen and unseen: Human to Human, Human to Nature, Human to Spirit. There is no separation, just the kaleidoscope of connection and Love.

Things, places and people in your environment may appear the same as they were before, yet you are renewed and refreshed and see Life with new eyes and broadening perceptions.

Eye of the Storm "I of Thee Storm" (I AM You, Storm). Acknowledge your relationship to "the storm" around you, whether you are cause or effect, and recognize the greater order beyond what you are seeing. Honor your capacity to remain centered when surrounded by apparent disorder and chaos, and embrace the wisdom of surrendering to it. Become One with the Almighty, with All That Is.

Aids those who are affected by the cold and darkness of the Winter season, and other "winters" of life.

Love/Heart Transform cellular memory involving old beliefs and patterns held in your heart center and your body. Forgive yourself and others, let go of your attachment to outcomes, and allow Love to prevail.

Luminous Egg For consciously creating an omnidirectional shield around yourself. Those energies for your highest and best good are allowed in; discordant energies are encouraged to leave. If you need extra support, use this visualization: See or feel the spark of Divine Light within the center of your being. Allow that spark to expand outward, clearing distorted or unclear energies as it goes. When it reaches your personal boundary, ask all of the cleared energies to dissipate harmlessly. Then ask that this 'luminous egg' around you be filled with Love, Light, or something else positive of your choice. Now your shield is complete. Repetition builds the strength of your energy field. This is an excellent remedy and exercise for highly sensitive people, energy and body workers, counselors and healthcare practitioners... anyone who feels a need for improved boundaries.

Niagara Falls The leap of obedience. As personal will becomes aligned with Divine Will, daily difficulties lose their charge and become challenging adventures rather than impossible tasks. Emulate the joy and abandon with which water leaps over the abyss and tumbles freely onward, singing and splashing down the river or stream below. Acknowledge the importance of obedience to your unique inner purpose and guidance.

As the River flows freely past the banks leaving them behind, so you must be willing to release unhealthy attachments. Explore and embrace sorrow, power and perseverance and honor their role in your life.

Saturn Know you can break the rules... because you know them so well. Develop a profound respect for structure in your life and honor "the rules" and Universal Law. Then, learn to expand their application and implementation, and trust yourself to improvise. Be a stand for your life purpose and embrace your limitations AND your abilities.

Chestnut Bud The "Rake Theory" essence. Get your lessons the first time. You're walking across the lawn and step on the business end of a rake. The handle comes up and smacks you in the forehead. If you leave the rake where it is and continue to walk the same path, you'll keep getting smacked in the forehead. Stay present and watch where you're going. Then move the rake or take a different path---your choice.

Chicory If you find yourself overly concerned with others, being possessive or smothering, or ignoring the importance of their personal choices and actions, or if you feel you know what is best for them and offer unrequested advice, remember everyone must walk their own path and make their own choices. Step back and give your love and support selflessly while honoring their individuality.

Clematis You may be mentally "away" daydreaming about the future where you believe you will be happier, or perhaps you are simply avoiding the present moment because you feel unable to articulate your thoughts and feelings to yourself or others. Become fully present, focused and grounded in your body now and share your gifts powerfully and with confidence.

Crab Apple For cleansing on all levels, physical and ethereal, restoring harmony to body and soul, and remembering the flaws you resent are actually evidence of your earthly perfection.

Honeysuckle Sweet nurturing; for those who feel life is not sweet enough. Bring sweetness back into your life and give yourself permission to nurture yourself and meet your own needs. Learn from the past and release your longing for it; acknowledge the sweetness of the moment.

Hornbeam You may feel overburdened by life, tired, and unable to carry your load or face your responsibilities any longer. Reinvent your connection to everyday activities, tune in to the Earth for increased energy, and begin to enjoy life once again with enthusiasm and commitment. This can lead to a change of job, home or lifestyle - be willing to trust your heart's longing for fulfillment and take the leap.

Impatiens You know very few people who do things as well or as quickly as you do, so you'd rather take on a task and see it through by yourself because others are often SO S-L-O-W. Relax and align yourself with the natural rhythm and flow of people, projects, and activities, come into the present moment, and allow patience to guide you.

Mimulus You may be afraid of things, people or places that are familiar to you, or easily intimidated by people or situations. You may also be fearful of things you don't realize you know. If you experience a mystical encounter or spiritual expansion as frightening, understand you may be opening to a larger reality of who you are, becoming more fully yourself. At the deepest levels, you know what you are getting into, but consciously you may feel afraid and uncertain. Open up with others and speak about what is happening and ask for support.

Rediscover your deep and profound inner resources of stamina and vitality by seeking within for the highest sources available to you.

Pine You may believe everything that goes wrong in the world is your fault, even if you had nothing to do with it. Or perhaps you set standards so high you can't possibly live up to them, then feel like a failure when you miss the mark. Let go of your need to take responsibility for everything. Transform guilt and self-blame into forgiveness and self-acceptance and learn to regard your inherent imperfections as an acceptable condition of being human.

Red Chestnut Always anticipating disaster, you may have no concern for yourself but be perpetually worried about everyone else.

Star of Bethlehem For understanding "shock and trauma" in a new way. Because we are so human, change in our fundamental beliefs and behaviors often requires a physical or emotional trauma to shift our energy, causing us to let go of the old to make way for the new. Star of Bethlehem supports the body to let go of shock, then helps it gain insight from the event itself allowing the trauma to become a catalyst for transformation.

Sweet Chestnut While a "dark night of the soul" may be a time of deep despair and hopelessness that takes you to your limits emotionally, it is also an opening to new opportunity.

Walnut Helps you move gracefully through life transitions such as marriage or divorce, moving to a new home or job, passing through milestones in growth and development, losing or gaining family members and friends - any change that upsets your state of balance, whether expected or a complete surprise. Remain focused on your goals, move forward, and avoid the misguided influence of others.

Water Violet You want to be sociable and compassionate yet because you keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself and prefer your own company, you seem distant and aloof to others, perhaps even arrogant or superior.

White Chestnut Your mind plays the same tape over and over again - you argued with your spouse, your brother's kids just don't act right, your boss is nuts, or ________ (fill in the blank). Restore peace of mind and use your mental energy to resolve issues and make a real difference in your life.

Waiting Heart, The Allows your mind time and space to acknowledge, then release, fear and other related emotions that may be holding you back. Fear in particular is a very convincing invention of the mind. When you experience fear, your physical and subtle bodies contract around your Heart as if to protect it. In response, your Heart, which is much wiser and possess far greater courage than your mind, expands out to enfold and protect you. Then it waits, patiently, for the mind to restore peace within itself. As the mind and Heart become true partners, and as the mind comes to understand the Heart as the wiser and more capable leader, fear dissipates and confidence grows.
