Testimonial
I first
came across Nanci's wonderful essences through a reference from
Bobbi Brooks. I then directly ordered more of the same before
requesting an individual consultation.
At regular
intervals last Spring, Nanci would give me one or 2 hours of
essence "readings" where she would describe to me each
essence as she found it for me. Over time there were particular
ones that stood out. However, I would wait and be surprised by
the essence that she would mail me to carry on the effects of
the consult until I phoned again about 3 weeks later.
I loved
the journey, as I would find different patterns in the essences
matching or encouraging me on an unfolding in my life and in
my art work in particular. I was at a stuck point when I phoned
the first time - doing very tight and traditional watercolors.
I had wanted to learn certain skills and then gotten mired. Over
the Spring, I left watercolors and turned to batik and silk painting.
It was a gradual process and took some time to really discover
that I was "home" with the drape of fabric, the intensity
of dye color and the unpredictability of wax. Even though I am
just a beginner, there is a sense that I am in the right "community,"
that the people, this work - from the traditional Japanese art
to the new discoveries - are what I love doing and learning.
In terms
of the essences. there was a hiatus in late Spring. I was busy
and traveling. However, at one point, I entered a time of such
emotional confusion that a friend recommended flower essences.
She gave me the name of a man who makes his essences from plants
in southern Appalachia, many of which were like those I knew
from growing up on a farm in Virginia. From that set of essences
I learned to "test" myself for what I needed. I would
allow my hand to move above the bottles (sometimes close, other
times a little further away) sensing for some interruption in
the energy. That would direct me to the essence I needed.
After
a couple of months of working with these essences, I remembered
the range that Nanci offered, and the energies that her essences
offered that were not obvious to me in the essences I already
had. I looked through her list and ordered what stood out for
me in my memory and in what I knew about myself. As soon as I
opened her essences and ran my hand over them, there was so much
energy coming form them to me, it felt like heat radiating. I
knew I was on the right path.
Now I
check in usually 2 times a day - first thing in the AM and again
in the mid or late afternoon - my lull time. I find what is "up"
for me- I take several drops of what I need and put several drops
of that essence into water that I will drink over the next while.
Sometimes I need many essences, sometimes nothing. If I find
that I need nothing, I check to feel if I'm actually centered
- which can make a profound difference. When I travel, I ask
ahead of time what I will need and put that in a small bottle
to add to my water during the time I'm away. Obviously, I find
the essences deeply intriguing.
So, thank
you! Nanci.
