As I prepared it, I felt a phenomenal energy in my root chakra. This is amazing for grounding! It would also be good for someone who may have holes or tears in their aura, leaving them susceptible to negative entities.

It will help remove blockages that keep us stuck in our current situation, sweeping away fears and judgments. This is what is necessary for new beginnings or a “clean slate.” The heather flower symbolizes admiration and good luck, and it is also believed to have protective powers. Ancient Celts recognized that the heather flower served as a great cleansing agent and assisted in breaking up blockages. They made brooms with heather – another symbol of clearing, cleansing and manifesting purity and a fresh start. Celtic brides carried heather in their bouquets or as an adornment in their joining (wedding) ceremonies as a symbol of promise and good fortune. Heather tea has a strong cleansing effect on the body and can assist with the removal of toxins. This heather essence was made from a plant that called to me as I passed it at Trader Joe's last month. I let it “rest” on my kitchen windowsill for several weeks until it indicated that one of its blossoms was ready to become an essence.

This flower remedy addresses a natural distillation process which occurs as the healthy person ages.

If one is unable to experience this graceful maturation process, life events seem ill-fated and undeserved, without higher purpose or meaning. The Sage flower essence can be helpful during various life phases and transitions, when one needs to step back and consider the unfolding events of life. However, it is particularly indicated for advanced stages of the life biography, when the Self must learn to survey life experience, and to glean wisdom and insight. Through Sage, the soul comes more in touch with its own spiritual meaning and purpose, and thus acquires profound wisdom to heal and counsel others.

TOBACCO (Kentucky Burley, Nicotiana Tabacum):

Tobacco flower essence is an amazing essence for grounding. It is particularly useful in strengthening the root chakra. Additionally, tobacco is a conduit for prayer and is a vehicle through which intentions can more effectively travel to the realm of the spirit world. Tobacco has been used for thousands of years for spiritual, healing and medicinal purposes. It is only in present-day society that tobacco has earned a reputation as a health risk, largely because the US industry starts with genetically modified tobacco and then adds over 600 intentional chemical additives to blended cigarettes. The beautiful pink flower used in this essence came from a plant which I grew organically from seed. I started it indoors last spring, and I had to move it in before first frost in October, as it was nowhere near ready to bloom. The first flower opened the day before the full moon of December 6, and the essence itself was made during the night of the full moon and completed the next day in the full sun. Thus, it contains sacred full moon properties in addition to its already powerful spiritual connection. Tobacco flower essence promotes physical and emotional well-being and can help you to connect with the rhythm of the earth. It is also useful for full moon manifestation ceremonies.

TULIP - RED: Red Tulip is used to provide grounding and centering to those who are too intensely seeking their spiritual path. Brings us out of our head and helps us to enjoy the journey rather than solely focusing on the end result. That calmness and joy allows us to more easily communicate with our spirit guides. Once we make contact, red tulip enables us to focus on the message(s) more easily, without worrying about a specific outcome.

TUMBLEWEED: The beautiful little flower of the otherwise prickly tumbleweed symbolizes that beauty can be found in even the harshest of surroundings. Tumbleweed can thrive nearly anywhere. Someone who is constantly on the move, especially if against his or her will, may feel displaced or ungrounded. Tumbleweed helps us to see that even though life may be sweeping us along, we can grow and thrive wherever we may land. Paradoxically, tumbleweed may be helpful for someone who has trouble leaving his or her home due to fear or agoraphobia. Tumbleweed allows one to appreciate the beauty outside one's own walls. Good for shyness and introversion. Helpful for breaking out of 'stuck' cycles and routines.

VETCH – BLUE, COW, OR TUFTED: To develop independence and self-confidence. This essence can stimulate many changes. It helps you to become your own person, to believe in yourself, your abilities and to love yourself and look after yourself. Instead of clinging to others it will help you to have more self-confidence. Your need to be protected by others will be shifted; it helps you think for yourself, make your own decisions, and become your own person.

Helps with spiritual independence and to let go of the need for a guru.

YARROW, RED (PAPRIKA): Paprika yarrow is a purifying remedy and an especially potent blood purifier. It helps blood circulation and can spark activity in anyone experiencing lethargic tendencies. Immune booster. This essence is brilliant for the Root Chakra, helping to dissolve survival related issues as well as fears that one is "unworthy" of being on the planet unless one acts as a martyr for others to continually take advantage of. Also wonderful for those who fear their anger may be hurtful to others and so tend to suppress it. Can help stop your life force from being drained away or sucked up by "energy vampires" and helps to shield you from being "drenched" by energies that are not for your higher good.

Helpful to enhance the intuitive understanding of one's life direction.

YELLOW SWEET CLOVER: Good for nervousness, stress and tension/aggression. Sunny, carefree, helps one to feel like “Pollyanna” and see the glass half full instead of half empty. Helps you to look for the silver lining in every cloud, and if you can't find one, it's only temporary anyway. Sense of sweetness and peace.

YUCCA (Yucca glaura): For cleansing hatred from the body and soul. An excellent essence to help us when we experience indecisiveness, hesitation or fear in facing challenges. It provokes a unification of our will with our intention.

Testimonials:

"Jan let me try spraying two of my dogs that have "issues" at our agility trial here in Boise this weekend. I was amazed!!!! Pixel, my little Corgi mix, that is usually stressed about meeting people and after a traumatic experience several years ago at a trial, was sitting calmly near the gate and interacting very nicely with people. Jazz, my wild child Aussie, was actually paying attention to me and not focusing on all the excitement around her." From Janet in Idaho
