Essence Descriptions

Abundance Essence

Do you long for richer relationships, greater happiness or a healthier bank balance? We all have blockages in place on unconscious levels which prevent us from accepting greater abundance into our lives. Life works on the principle of attraction. Your level of resonance dictates the people, wealth, opportunities and situations you attract to you. Change your resonance and you change your life. Abundance Essence is an alchemical combination which lifts your energy to a different level where wonderful changes can happen. It works to shift poverty consciousness and deeply ingrained beliefs of victimhood, bringing a sense of self-worth, deservability and a willingness to receive. It also helps you focus your intent and enhances your creativity and courage. Use it consistently. With its support, allow yourself to make the shifts and see the difference in your life.

Ingredients: Agapanthus, Borage, Giant Protea, Hibiscus, Loquat, Plum, Plumbago

Adolescent Essence

Adolescence is a difficult time. Torn between the push into being grown-up, independent and responsible and the pull to remain little and be nurtured and cared for, it is small wonder that problems arise. To further complicate matters, we all have within us an inner adolescent, (as well as an inner child), a part of us that has crystalised in that phase and which can be most disruptive as he, or she, makes their presence felt in our daily lives. This aspect of ourselves needs to be met loved and accepted. Adolescent Essence supports and harmonises the passage through adolescence and also enables us to nurture the adolescent within us.

Ingredients: Cape Almond, Dune Calendula, Loquat, Maple, Mountain Cabbage Tree, Plumbago, Wild Pear

Auric Protection Essence

At times when we are exposed to negativity, of whatever nature, whether it be to bad vibes at the office, a family upset, or whether we just want to protect ourselves or our offspring at a club or a rave, Auric Protection Essence will be of assistance. It lifts the resonance of the aura and to a level where negativity cannot enter. It can also be useful if we are exposed to radiation of any kind.

Ingredients: Bluebell, Frangipani, Orange, Wild Garlic, Wild Jasmine, Wild Sage, Yarrow

Balancing Essence

To restore you to your natural state of equilibrium amid the conflicting demands of daily life, use this essence. It harmonises the yin/yang energy, grounding and centring you, bringing you into balance with your world. Balancing Essence is very useful for aligning the chakras and stimulating the flow of energy in the meridians. In addition to taking it internally, apply it externally to chakras and acupuncture points. It works very well in combination with Stress Essence and Harmony Essence, allowing you to focus and bring inner peace and tranquillity into your life.

Ingredients: African Banana, Fuchsia, Hyacinth, Oreganum, Rosemary, Strelitzia, Tomato

Birth Essence

This essence works to create harmony and inner peace for both mother and baby as you undertake the major transition of the birth process. It brings a sense of beingness, allaying fears and providing a protective shield at this important time. For the baby, the transition from being cocooned in the womb to facing life as a separate entity is enormous. Similarly, for the recuperating mother, a huge readjustment is required to handle the reponsibility of a helpless infant’s demands. Birth Essence works to ease this passage for all concerned. For best results take it through the last trimester of pregnancy and for 10 -12 weeks after birth. Put one drop, diluted with water, in the baby’s mouth or it can also be applied externally to the soles of the feet or to pulse points. This essence is also applicable for less literal periods of birth, when we are starting afresh or embarking on a new phase of life.

Ingredients: Cauliflower, Coral Tree, Dune Calendula, Flowering Cherry, Orange Pincushion, Oreganum, Yarrow

Creativity Essence

We are all creative even though many of us no longer believe it. With every thought we think, we create – creativity is an inherent part of our birthright as human beings. Creativity Essence enables us to access and express our creativity in every aspect of our lives, from the most mundane to the most spiritual.

Ingredients: Chestnut, Giant Protea, Hibiscus, Lotus, Petunia, Strelitzia, Wild Iris

Crisis Remedy

This essence is an invaluable companion in any crisis situation. Use it in times of shock, panic, anxiety, fear, agitation, illness or dread. Whether for people, animals or plants, the relief is immediate. Remember that if it is difficult to give the essence internally, applying it on wrists, behind the ears or on the soles of the feet can be very effective.

Ingredients: Baeometra, Disa, Felicia, Flowering Quince, Orange Pincushion, Red Camellia, Strelitzia

Harmony Essence

When emotional tension, frustration and the demands of daily life become overwhelming; when tempers flare or we find ourselves in situations of discord, thrown off centre and unable to maintain balance and harmony in our lives, this is the essence to use. Harmony Essence stills the mind, calms, bringing emotional clarity and serenity. It lifts us to a level where we have a different perspective and can become aware of the wonder and beauty of people and of life itself, attuning to nature as a source of peace, inspiration and creativity. In order to live our lives in harmonious balance, we need to cultivate an awareness of who we really are, holding sacred a place of stillness within us on which we can draw for renewal. When we can live in a state of grace, connected to the wholeness of all that is, conscious of our own power to create the life we want, harmony is a natural consequence. Use this essence to help you.

Ingredients: Aristea, Hyacinth, Orange, Oreganum, Petunia, Wild Iris, Zinnia

Inner Child Essence

An important aspect of psychology today is the awareness of the child within each of us. Frozen in time, this inner child we once were is encapsulated in the emotions and experiences of our childhood. The child will often take the centre stage in our adult lives, needing attention and expressing the anger, pain and fear which is the result of lack of love, neglect, shock, betrayal, abuse, demands for perfection or other circumstances to which we were subjected. This essence facilitates access to this child to ease the pain and trauma and to learn to love and accept this aspect of ourselves.

Ingredients: Cape Almond, Fuchsia, Keurtjie, Red Camellia, Sugar Bush Protea, Warratah, Zinnia

Inner Female Essence

The inner female and inner male aspects of ourselves are also well known components of psychology. Symbolised by yin/yang energy, this inner relationship is reflected in our interaction with the men and women in our lives. In order for us to be whole, it is important that these two aspects which exist within all of us, men and women alike, support and harmoniously balance each other. The Inner Female Essence works to strengthen our ability to conceive new ideas and to be, rather than to do, as well as our intuitive, receptive and nurturing qualities. The Inner Male Essence facilitates our ability to create, to concretise things in the outer world, to bring ideas into form, to initiate, act, protect and lead.

Menopause Essence

With the emphasis today on the perpetual pursuit of youth, the value and importance of maturity, experience and the wisdom that is garnered with time, is often overlooked. The belief that age brings redundancy can be changed as we recognise the valuable contribution we can make, as older members of the community. As we battle with physical change, Menopause Essence can play a vital role in strengthening our sense of self esteem and self worth, allowing the passage into this new phase of life to be accomplished with dignity and grace. It enables us to perceive the beauty that accompanies maturity, to move confidently into our full power and to play a part as wise elders in our community.

Parenting Essence

This essence assists us in meeting the challenges that parenting presents. To parent successfully, without demanding that our children live up to our expectations or fulfil our own frustrated desires, requires understanding and a wider perspective. Parenting Essence enables us to bring wisdom to the experience, to honour our offspring for the individuals they are and to support them in their growth, while simultaneously respecting our own needs. It also enables us to parent the inner child within us.

Ingredients: Azalea, Clivia, Evening Primrose, Fig, Keurtjie, Pomegranate, Sunflower

Separation Essence

We live in a world where separation is rife, where families are frequently torn apart and where many children are shuffled between parents. Whenever you, or those you care about, are split from loved ones, whether the separation is short or long term,be it by divorce, death, emigration, break-up or even boarding school, use this essence. It will bring courage and the ability to cope, to deal with the pain or grief, to focus in the present with optimism, to take hold of life and live it fully. We may need to learn to allow others to follow their own path in life, to relinquish control or to become whole within ourselves. Separation Essence will provide vital support.

Stress Essence

When the demands of daily life overwhelm us, when stress, nervousness, anxiety, fatigue or overwork deplete us, this essence is of great assistance.

Study Essence

This essence is a must for exam time! Whenever you or your offspring want to focus your minds, whether it be for examinations, tests or simply assimilating knowledge, use Study Essence. It works to harmonise and calm the mind, integrating right and left brain lobe functions and improving your concentration.

Substance Abuse Essence

This essence works to activate the forces of the will and to break addictive or destructive patterns of behaviour whether they be drug, alcohol or nicotine abuse or an addiction to adrenaline. These are often a response to a sense of emptiness or a desire to escape pressures, pain, fear or anxiety that is too intense to bear. Working vibrationally, Substance Abuse Essence introduces new perspectives which bring about a strengthening of character and self respect. While a flower essence cannot interfere with our free will, from these new perspectives we can make different choices and direct our lives into more positive channels, supported by a new pattern of resonance.

Ingredients: Chinkerinchee, Dune Calendula, Flowering Quince, Morning Glory, Nicotiana, Wild Coffee, Wild Dagga

Travel Essence

Tired of arriving weary and stressed? Travel Essence is an invaluable aid in combating the fatigue and disorientation associated with travel. Today, with the ever increasing tempo of life, we spend more and more time dashing from A to B in fast vehicles or hopping on and off aeroplanes, often with less forethought than our grandparents gave to preparing for a weekend at the seaside! We have all suffered the detrimental effects of overcrowded aircraft and the resultant invasion of our personal space. The exposure to electromagnetic energy generated by sophisticated vehicles, the adaptation to time zone changes and to different polarity fields is also not without its cost. They all take a heavy toll on us physically, emotionally and mentally and can leave us dazed and ungrounded. Travel Essence protects you and your loved ones, allowing your auric field to adjust to the changes. It assists you in resetting your time clock, ensuring that you can undertake what lies ahead, refreshed and centred. For long distance travel, take it for a few days before departure, as well as en route and after arrival. For short journeys, use it three or four times daily. It is a must for every traveller’s pocket!

Ingredients: Hyacinth, Morning Glory, Rhododendron, Sweetpea, Thyme, Warratah, Wild Sage
