Thoughts from Terri Songbird

Essences, hmmm, just what makes them work anyways???

I often wish I could have a loonie for every time that question is asked of me!!

When I hear this question, I instinctively go to my place of knowingness and answer that question to the best of my ability, not truly knowing if my answer is right or wrong, but knowing that it is right in my knowingness. Sometimes things get lost in translation, and that is how I experience my knowingness with the essences, what I know I may not have the words for.

This weekend, I was blessed to be able to take a didgeridoo class from a true master.  http://www.philjonesmusic.com/ In his explanation about how the didgeridoo is medicinal, we started talking about sound waves.  One participant in the class shared some information that her chiropractor came across in his research for healing.  What “science has recently discovered, is that emotions and memory are relayed throughout the body at a cellular level by SOUND, not by neuro-peptides as previously thought.”

Sound therapy, in my opinion, is vibrational, and everything has a vibrational frequency, from you, the person reading this, to the chair you are sitting on, to the computer screen you are reading this newsletter on.

Everything has an essence, everything from stones to trees to flowers to birds to humans to the wind, the sun the moon and the stars. We all vibrate differently, but we all have an essence, our own unique vibrational signature.

Acer rubrum (Red Maple) 4

To me, the essences capture the song and beauty of the trees. What does their vibrational frequency represents?  Stand and look at trees in nature and ask yourself to be open to receive their strength and purpose. You will receive a knowingness from the tree what it offers you, movement, strength, calming…etc, etc.

The essence of the tree is lovingly surrendered as the tree donates its leaves, seeds, flowers or roots for the mother tincture of the essence. The essence of the tree is infused into the spring water and we have our mother tincture.

Mother Tincture Dogwood

When consumed as the Canadian Forest Tree Essence, in my opinion what happens is vibrational. The resonance of the tree stirs cellular memory within our cells, creating movement, awareness of something long buried, or stored, or detached from our consciousness.

From the depths of the unconscious or subconcious mind, the essence facilitates awareness of the pattern of emotions transferred into behaviour to a state of subtle awareness {sometimes not so subtle!}.

In my life coaching sessions, I teach all of my clients that in order to change ourselves, we must first see that which we desire to release. Essences facilitate seeing/experiencing that shift.

I also sense, feel and believe in a duality with the essences, not only do they facilitate a release but they help one to embrace a higher vibrational frequency of that emotional behaviour, transforming anxiety to confidence, procrastination to movement and flow, anger to resolution, despondence and depression to hope.

As they support release, they also nurture one to embrace more of themselves.

Essence, we all have one, everything does, and everything vibrates. Consider putting the vibrational frequency of something as strong and long lasting as trees into your vibrational being, do you not think you will harmonize at a different pitch????

The Power Of Our Changing Times

June 28th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Insights Into Essences

By Terri Songbird
Terri with drum

As I sit at my computer,, waiting for Divine Inspiration as to what to write about this month, I have Hay House Radio on in the background,,, and I hear the radio personality coaching his call in listener to commit to enjoying her life…Wow, what a simple yet profound idea.

In the last couple of weeks, I have been exposed to so much information that at times I feel like I am on sensory overload.

The continued news about the raging oil well in the ocean, and the implications of that in the future, I have been told if I enjoy fish and sea food to get my fill of it as eventually this oil spill is so devastating that all food supply from the ocean will be contaminated, causes me much grief and sadness.

The knowledge that this summer solstice is one of the powerful events to occur in years, and the many changes that our Earth Mother is evolving through can be experienced by us humans as anxiety and a sense of being overwhelmed helps me to understand some of my own personal emotional roller coaster.

And I turn on my radio and hear, Commit to enjoying my life, and my voice says “ahhh yes, Life Embrace Essence, how perfect, to embrace all that is good, to commit to joy,
to embrace all that is good, and to allow myself to receive the love and sense of nurturing that this essence offers me!

Life Embrace for Web

Life Embrace has the essence of the Giant Sequoia in its recipe. I close my eyes and visualize the strength and magnitude of this tree, and I know that this essence will help me stand strong in the face of change.

Sequoiadendron giganteum (Giant Sequoia) S32 B

Western Hemlock for Web

My intuition also speaks to me of Western Hemlock, and invites me to focus on the good not the negative in the world….as this essence is for those who typically see the glass half empty versus half full. Even though I consider myself an optimist, and I do the see the glass as full, my knowingness tells me this is a wonderful essence to energetically compliment my prayer work and my vision for healing the world. I as most, am bombarded with negative news, the media leads with what bleeds, in fact there is a saying in media,, if it bleeds it leads.

Tsuga heterophylla v41, f4-02

I choose to put my thoughts and attention on the positive, to believe that my prayer and visualizations make an difference in our world and healing Mother Earth.

Life Embrace and Western Hemlock are a wonderful combination to support me in my daily commitment to enjoy my life!!

I invite you to share in this powerful affirmation

Today is _{day of the week}_________ and I am committed to enjoying my life!!!

May you all be blessed with Joy!

About Being A Man

Recently, I have worked quite a bit with Being A Man essence, and consistently I have received resistance to the essence because of its name. One person even went so far as to suggest we change the name to Clarity of Actions or Chivalry, anything but being a  man. This reminds me of Johnny Cash and his song A Boy Named Sue…

Being a Man

About Being a Man, the title was inspired from the famous poem “If” from Kipling:

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream–and not make dreams your master,
If you can think–and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:

Acer Rubrum (Red Maple) S18 A

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings–nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And–which is more–you’ll be a Man, my son!

–Rudyard Kipling

So the name may be a challenge, but it is true to the essence and all the challenges of being a man at this time. I hope to envision a time when the name Being a Man inspires, when that name is felt as something noble and with honour and integrity… in the same way the Woman’s Own inspires…

WOVE for Web

To note, the Being a Man Essence can be used by men for extended periods of time with much benefit, as it brings awareness and insight into many aspects of being a man. But, this is also an essence for women to balance, heal and understand their male side.

Best Wishes,

Daniel Tigner

The 12 Body Synergy Essences

May 20th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Insights Into Essences, Testimonials

The 12 Body Synergy Essences

The 12 Body Synergies were created to bring about the connection of mind and body for healing. Each of the 12 Body Synergy essences is designed to resonate with a particular body system, to help release and heal associated emotional & energetic patterns.

12 Synergy French Display

The creation of the 12 Body Synergy Essences was a collaborative effort between Alicia Rocco, our distributor in Minerva, Ohio, USA and both Céline Cloutier and myself (Daniel Tigner) at Canadian Forest Tree Essences.

Alicia shared her vision with us for the 12 essences, which we then formulated according to the framework and key characteristics she outlined. These essences have proven to be a powerful healing force and easily accessible to both practitioners and those choosing essences for personal use.

Here is Alicia’s speaking about healing and the 12 Body Synergies.

Alicia’s Talk

My great grandmother was Iroquois Indian and she taught us about herbs and spiritual healing. I worked for many years with herbs: I found that they tie over to some of the emotions, but they do not quite get to everything needed. So when I discovered essences, I realized that illness and health began in the soul, then manifest in the mind and emotions, then the physical body.

I have been doing iridology for 30 years. One of the things I discovered through iridology was that the eyes are indeed the windows to the soul. I kept studying the eyes and learning how I could read not only the body but the emotions and thought processes as well. This developed into a system of Emotional Iridology, which I have taught for many years.

I had studied emotional iridology and then all of a sudden I was stuck. I had herbs, but I didn’t have an answer to help folks emotionally. I was becoming fully aware that whatever emotion they felt or came with was actually contributing to their physical illness. Then I remembered about essences. I did flowers for a number of years, then gems, then one day I was in my own spiritual meditation, sacred place, and I awoke to a tree. And I thought, “Trees, whoa, I wonder if there’s such a thing as tree essences?”

I was so excited to discover Canadian Forest Tree Essences because I was being led to do tree essences. Why trees, not flowers, gems, or other kind of essences? I think it probably had to do with my Iroquois Indian heritage, because trees were an aspect of the spiritual things that we did in healing. Flowers were not always available, but trees were.  Indians lived in the woods, they hunted in the woods, and they were a part of them, so trees really connected to me. I also found when I started to use the tree essences with my clients that trees really connected to them.

Woman in Forest Looking up for Holtz March 2009 8 x 12 300 dpi

Flowers are wonderful, but they come quickly and they go quickly. Trees stay and ground us.

Trees hold us to our sacred space. They allow us to be all that we can be in that place. This is a wonderful thing. We can feel sacred, secure and safe.

Ask a child, what do they want to do when they go out and play? “Grandma may I go out and play by the tree?”

They do not ask if they can go out and play in my flower garden. I have a beautiful rose garden. They do not want to play in my rose garden. They say, “Grandma, can I go out and climb the tree? Grandma, can I go out and swing in the tree? Trees connect with children and children love to hug trees. Have you ever hugged a tree? Can you feel the vibration of a tree? It is wonderful.

The 12 Body Synergies were created to connect the healing of body, mind and emotions. That is why they are called the Digestive, Intestinal and Glandular essences, etc. Each of the 12 essences is designed to resonate with a particular body system, to help release and heal associated emotional & energetic patterns.

Using these essences we learn to look for the root emotional cause of health problems.Sonam & Jason in Tree

We look at what we think, because what we think is what we are. What we believe is what we become.

When you go to the doctor and the doctor says you have this illness, what is the first thing you do?  You own the illness.

“I have cancer, I have heart trouble, I am a diabetic, I have arthritis…”

The “I’s” get in the way of the “we’s,” because in truth your whole entire body is sick: in other words, you cannot have diabetes in just the pancreas, the sickness includes the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

When someone comes to you and says, “I’m a diabetic,” no longer think, “diabetes.  I have to use this herb, this essence.” No, you will think in terms of a “we.” You will understand that the whole, entire body is affected. Diabetes is the result but you need to work on the root emotional cause; which may have started, for example, in an emotion associated with the digestive or intestinal system.

Acer Sacsharum (Sugar Maple) profile MedFormat10

Working with the 12 Body Synergy Essences either by themselves, with emotional iridology or another modality, you start making the physical, emotional and spiritual connections that will be helpful for your client. You will see how this all has a very beautiful flow. Your understanding as to how the person functions on each level of these levels just comes totally together. You will see with clients that the 12 Body Synergies will allow them to know and understand their emotions and choose to change, to evolve. Tree essences work on their energetic field and affect their nervous or electrical system. They can change their cellular memory, and help them reprogram their DNA, amplifying the effectiveness of other therapies and techniques.

Another advantage of these 12-Body Synergies is that they will help you describe essences to your clients so much easier then you ever did before. I often find I use the Body Synergies as the first line of essences with my very new clients, and then slowly a wider range of the trees essences may be used.

Heart to Heart: Are you Protecting Yourself?

Gulabo Yes1 cropped for email

Are you a practitioner or do you work with the public?

Do you feel vulnerable, drained, tired, irritated or impatient after working with people?

I am a practitioner and I think all of us are vulnerable at times.

It is an ongoing challenge for practitioners to open themselves, to remain sensitive and feel empathy, at the same time to let go and not to accumulate energies not belonging to us.

Meditation, taking a walk, exercise, wearing protective jewellery and taking a bath or shower after work are all part of my re-centering rituals, but a really big help and one I totally recommend is for you to take our Therapist & Healer.

thumbnail_Therapists_and_Healers2

This essence helps clear unwanted energies we may pick up in our work.

Gulabo in meditation 3 cropped background1 small

More about the Therapist and Healer Essence

The Therapist & Healer Essence is formulated especially for those who work with people and tend to take on or absorb their emotions and energetic states. This essence protects and helps in clearing energies not belonging to us.

It is a valuable aid for anyone who work with people including sales people, teachers, nurses, bus drivers….anyone who feels vulnerable to outside influences,

including those of the general environment.

Tilia americana (American Basswood)B1 S18 B

The Therapist & Healer Essence may be taken orally as needed and in addition added to baths, creams and sprays.

How does it work?

The trees in the essence work in together to create a matrix of protective resonance that helps filter energies and keep our inner space clear.

Sweet Buckeye  flowers 2 adjusted small

In addition to people who work with other people, the essence helps us better filter the negative impact of news reports, films, magazines, TV, etc.

For inner, intuitive or creative work the essence helps us maintain a clear and open personal space around us.

When we have been vulnerable due to a crisis situation, the Therapist & Healer Essence helps us return to balance and to act with composure while others around us may be distressed or panicky.

This essence brings an overall strengthening of our personal energy field so that we can maintain the integrity of our personal space. It is therefore an ideal essence for practitioners as it helps us in healing work or other close work with people, to remain open and available while allowing feelings and energies to pass through us.

Overtime, with regular use of the Therapist & Healer Vibrational Essence, we will experience a growing sense of our own strength and of being shielded from destabilizing energies of the collective consciousness and our immediate environment.

Namasté,

MAN’S FOLLY

These are the gifts I ask

Of thee, spirit serene:

Shelter of forests, comfort of the grass,

Music of birds, murmur of little rills,

Shadows of cloud that swiftly pass,

And after showers,

The smell of flowers,

And of the good brown earth,

And best of all, along the way, friendship and mirth.

BY TERRI SONGBIRD

Every month, I await for Divine Inspiration to guide me about what I should write about for my contribution to the newsletter.

Judith Beam, our featured essence therapist for this newsletter, is a client of mine and has become a cherished friend.  As I read her article and her experience with the Synergy Essence #6 Urinary.

6 - Urinary for web

I am moved to share with you a wonderful testimony that happened in my wellness center with this essence.

A woman asked for my help with her 14 year old foster daughter, she was a chronic bedwetter. This was not only embarrassing, but also prohibitive to her developing socially, as she could not do sleepovers and be included in the weekend functions of a lot of her piers. My first response was to put her on the herb cornsilk, but being a capsule, the foster Mom was reluctant, as she was accountable to Family and Children’s Services, so I suggested the Urinary Essence, telling her that no one would object to the simple administration of drops under her tongue or in her water bottles.

Euononymus Bungeanus S3 C

She was much more comfortable with the idea of an essence, and bought one bottle of urinary. The next week, the Mom came back into my center and was amazed,pleased and shocked as her foster daughter stopped bedwetting!!!!

Gulabo sitting beneath Eunonymus taking notes on the qualities of the tree, which is used in the Urinary Essence

Gulabo sitting beneath Eunonymus taking notes on the qualities of the tree, which is used in the Urinary Essence

Time passed and one day while doing weekly inventory in my center, I noted that all of Urinary essences had been sold out in a week. I commented on this to my administrator, and she told me that a woman from Burlington had driven down to our center to pick up these drops as they were the only thing that stopped her foster child from bedwetting. Hmmm, I thought, could that be the foster child from Ridgeway that I started on this essence a while ago???

More time passed, and one day my administrator commented to me, that another foster Mom came from even a greater distance and bought all of our stock of Urinary essence, as she had a new 15yr old foster daughter in her care and she was a bed wetter. She had done these drops from some trees in the past and it was the only thing that helped her bedwetting!

Bitternut Hichory B1-S1 A

Eventually, I crossed paths with the original foster Mom, and she confirmed that the placement of this young girl did not work out and that she had been placed in several different homes. My heart ached for her, not having a home to call her own, and knowing that much of her behavioural challenges were a result of her emotional pain, and knowing that I had a tool that help her heal.

To this day I remain thankful that her life was touched by the essences, I am thankful to the foster Moms that took the time to drive to my center and keep her supplied with the Urinary Essence. If for only a short period in her life, she was touched by the healing energy of these blessed essences, was able to be free of bed wetting and enjoy the sleep overs that most teenage girls engage in!!

Urinary essence addresses deep seated shame within us, as well as the energy of anger that is best described as being Pissed Off!

Prunus Virginiana V8, f2 - 8

Often these emotions manifest in the physical body as urinary infections,

the heat, the inflamed part of the anger, or it could be dribbling or

painful urination…

As with all of the synergies, any challenge with that particular body system, apply the corresponding body system essence, and you will notice that it will hasten the herbal program, and if using essences as a stand alone treatment, you will see positive change and profound healing at the emotional level.

And the nicest thing about our essences, is the worst thing that can

happen in nothing, there is nothing to fear, no side effects, no contraindications with meds, just use them and watch the unfoldment!!

Many Blessings,
Terri Songbird

Intestinal Essence

April 22nd, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Insights Into Essences

Alicia for web 2The last thing people want to talk about is their bowel movements. However, I want to share a story that was so interesting, I feel it is very valuable for all of you who tend to not rock the boat, hold things inside and become a sounding board for others.

I had a client come and tell me how awful she felt and how she just continued to put weight on until she weighed over 300 lbs. She had been to a number of doctors and found her to be very healthy. One of the questions I always discuss with my clients is their bowel movements, how often, what do they look like, etc. Now that may sound gross to some people but we need to realize this is a part of life and a big part of our health.

She proceeded to tell me that her stool was very large and many times she would strain and it would tear the opening. Because she had done the whole medicine, laxative, and herbs I choose to do an essence with her. It was Body Synergy 2 – Intestinal Essence.

2 - Intestinal for web

Intestinal is about:

Can’t let go

Holding onto negative feelings

Need to release

Self-disgust

Yellow Cedar 2

Now for the best part of this lesson. After an hour of discussion about what she did on a daily pattern I discovered she was very involved with her friends and she was the one person everyone came to when they needed to share things. People felt she kept their confidentiality and therefore felt safe in telling her things. When we discussed some of the problems they would tell her she felt she needed to keep things to herself so as not to cause or create disharmony with anyone. Therefore, she carried the burden for all her friends. She realized in the discussion that she started gaining a lot of her weight when she took this responsibility on. Now I would like to say here that there are many reasons we gain weight, this was hers, and yours may be different. Therefore, this essence would not work the same.

Yellow Cedar 1

After using the essence for 2 weeks, she began to have normal bowel movements and was so pleased. When I spoke with her about changing her life pattern with these people, she chose not to do that and stopped the essence. Her problem returned. Her first question was will I have to take this the rest of my life. When I explained she would need to do so until she chose to change her life patterns and it may take other essences to help her do so. She felt she could not let her friends down and continued in her pattern.

Monkey Puzzle5

This is a sad story. Nevertheless, if you have learned to understand your pattern of behavior or feelings by using the essences and wish to evolve pass the continued emotions then the power is in you and the essences will help you.

The essences graciously give of them selves but we must be willing to accept their help.

The What If’s…Another Perspective

March 21st, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Insights Into Essences

Terri straight 5I have often wished to be knowledgeable in astrology. Before I ever learned of retrogrades, rising signs and astrological signs, I certainly felt the effect that a full moon had on me. Over the course of my nursing career, I worked in trauma units and labour and delivery, without looking at the calendar, we knew when the moon was full. I have come to have a deep respect for the science of astrology and the effect that I feel as a result of what the planets are up too. I have often found comfort in knowing that I maybe experiencing something of an astrology event, versus my own stuff. Since the essences have come into my life, I now have something else to comfort me.

So much is changing on our Earth. We are surviving what may be looked back upon as monumental historical events, melting of polar ice caps,, changing weather patterns all over the globe, deep shifts within the Earth plate’s resulting in catastrophic events like that in Haiti and Chile…and there is a knowingness that there is more to come.

Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) 67v1, F7 - 6

I have witnessed in many of the clients that I work with in Life Coaching what I call free floating anxiety. Fear that something bad is going to happen, people telling me their sleeping patterns are no longer as restful, just a sense of dread, fear, anxiety, however it is explained, for no known or apparent reason. For many, this is experienced as a tension in the diaphragm, or a cramping which causes a lot of epigastric pain and digestive problems.

EARTH CHANGES is an appropriate essence to consider for your client for this free floating anxiety. Often when I am releasing the diaphragm, I will apply the essence of Earth Changes directly on the 3rd chakra.

Earth_Changes

I find the release that I do to be more effective and permanent when I use the essence as well as the technique. I then suggest the client take the essence internally until the bottle is gone,,, using a dropperful 3 times per day,,, and massaging the 3rd chakra every evening before sleep with 4-6 drops of essence mixed with some lotion, or massage oil.

Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum( 20091011_0005

SELF AWARENESS GOOD VIBE SPRAY may also be helpful.

SelfAwareness_Spray

The essential oil of sandalwood is very grounding, and the spray itself is designed to help one become more aware of the changes and our own response to them. Many sources I have read even claim that our DNA is being recoded, which is a lot of change to be going through… no wonder life feels like a roller coaster!!

AURA PROTECTION GOOD VIBE SPRAY is a wonderful tool to use to protect yourself from out side energies!!!

Aura_Cleansing

Spray yourself before going into meetings, public transit, or any place where you are exposed to a lot of different energies and auras of others. The essential oil of black pepper will certainly repel any untoward energy coming your way!! This spray can become part of your morning routine, spraying and protecting your aura daily before you leave the comfort of your own nest. I have a bottle right on my bathroom counter top beside my tooth brush and I spritz my aura every morning.

In summary, all of the changes that our Mother Earth is enduring is truly affecting us on the cellular level, you do not have to endure the changes alone, essences facilitate a change at the core of our being.

Family Relations During The Holidays

December 15th, 2009 | 1 Comment | Posted in Insights Into Essences

Gulabo by Jason_09-08-14_016

With the Holidays just around the corner, family relations come into focus as we plan visits from across the country or the ocean. Just the thought of coming home may bring memories of the wonderful smell of cooking, the joy of seeing the traditional decorations, the warm feeling of endless talks around the kitchen table with siblings, and the comfort of the hugs and laughter.
Jason and Gulabo April 11 side

Or, it may bring more anxious feelings when conflicts and tension between family members is present.

Does it look like a Christmas card to you? Or does the reality seem more mixed and challenging.

I am blessed because holidays have been a great occasion for coming all together for most years. Coming home has brought such a feeling of comfort. Family relations are sacred for me and it is the same for my siblings and parents. During the holidays we have also been able to rise above any stress between us, to put aside our egos and limitations. There reigns the great gift of unconditional love and respect.

Celine and Chloe 9

My mom always said we four kids that got along, expect of course for occasions where my big brother enjoyed teasing his sister. We are all very different but there is such a connection between us and I cherish that very much. I thank God for having them in my life.

But in many families there are wounds, scars or ruptures, unpleasant memories and family relations are not so easy. The strain of it all can affect how we are when we get together for holidays. When a family member is sick or someone has died that year our conflicts may be amplified. It may be so unbearable to face our feelings, to put aside hurtful events or our discomforts that we may even chose to not show up at all. These conflicts may be with parents, siblings, cousins or even our own children. And yet, in our heart we know that family is of such importance. They are our roots and they are part of who we are.

Hafiz & Jason V28, f1 - 26

Knowing our difficulties with family relations, we may have worked hard to resolve issues, to forgive, to detach ourselves, to live OUR lives and feel our freedom. But when we meet we may realize that attachments run very deep and no matter what, the connection remains.

I have known several women and men that were not in contact with their family, thinking there was no need or connection anymore and one day, life brought them back together. There is a program on Quebec French TV where a team is in charge of finding lost family members. People send letters with information they know about the person they have lost. On every show, they bring those people together and it is so amazing to see and feel these beings finding each other again. It is a coming home.

We all have different upbringings: some with many hurdles, ups and downs, and others easily riding the waves of growing up together, but no matter what, families give us our first impression of the world. The family is central to our world and how we relate to everyone and everything around us.

So we still have unfinished business with parents, even those who passed away, brothers, sisters, and children, I encourage you to take time and look at all these important people in your life and gradually learn what is needed to heal. Otherwise, no matter where we move, the family conflicts move with us.

Sometimes, only time will heal, especially when there is a rupture and we do not understand the events. We may carry anger and are incapable of resolving problems. But the only place to be is in our Heart, keeping it wide open, since it is as big as the Universe, and filled with love since there is enough in one heart for 6 billion people. Do not doubt the magic of love. It is the most powerful force.

Such is the great importance to deal with our fears of encountering family members and of resolving unfinished hurts and conflicts, we have developed an essence called FAMILY RELATIONS to help those wishing to reopen conversation with a family member. This essence is of great support during those times. And the amazing thing about it is YOU may be the only person using the essence and the world starts changing around you.

Often we think, “if only he or she would change, things would be so easier.’’ But the power lies within each and every one of us and as we begin transforming our self, people around start acting differently around us. Using the FAMILY RELATIONS essence works within your resonance to heal wounds and scars within yourself but also within those you are close to because we are all SO connected and powerfully to our family and friends.

Just watch what will happens when you use the Family Relations Essence.

I wish you and your family much love and blessings during the holiday and New Year.

To your family,
