Greetings! It gives me great pleasure to share my experience and love of the Canadian Forest Tree Essences with you.
I have been a natural health practitioner since the early 1990’s working with herbs, whole food nutrition, different energy modalities and iridology. Intuitively, I knew that my clients could experience a greater depth of healing if I had something to open up the emotional body.
My first experience was with flower essences, and I was thrilled to see my clients unfold and their healing encompass their emotional well being. I became aware of the Tree Essences thru a conversation with a fellow practitioner, I enrolled in a class and the rest is history as they say!
The vibrational resonance of these essences is so different from that of flower essences, as one of my clients said “You can step on a flower and not know it, but you walk into a tree and you certainly feel it!!!”
That was the immediate difference that I observed working with the Canadian Forest Tree Essences, a deep and profound shift occurred with most of the clients that I had use the essences. I also noticed that clients repeatedly came back for more of the essences. As a practitioner, I only had to sell one bottle, after the client experienced the essence, they sold themselves.
I always considered myself to be an herbalist, and I love my herbs and how they work energetically in the body, however, once I saw what the Tree Essences did, I started experimenting with the programs that I was doing for my clients. I started including one essence into every program that I did. The results were so amazing that I included two essences in every program and decreased the number of herbs that I would put a client on.
I witnessed a greater satisfaction within my clients. Changes were occurring, that were very subtle yet very profound. Not all, but most of my clients were aware of the essences and the healing that they were facilitating. Life Embrace is one essence whose vibrational qualities are so amazing that everyone who takes this essence just loves it, and knows that the positive shift in mood and mental well being is from the essence.
We all have clients that are “skeptics” and inevitably, they always become the most committed essence users. Calling me at home, asking me to ship them more, not wanting to run out of their essence, and I just smile and nod my head, knowing that once again these essences have worked their magic.
The Canadian Forest Tree Essences are so easy to use, I enjoy the fact that they are user ready for consumption, there is no mixing needed to be done by me or my staff. No longer do I have to stock empty bottles, sterile water, worry about contamination of my stock bottles, nor take the time between appointments to mix another remedy. With the use of the guide book, my administrator was fully capable of suggesting the appropriate essence. The brochures would often be sent home with clients who expressed curiosity about the essences, and within a couple of days they would return to the center with certain essences highlighted.
The brochures are titled Tree Speaks, and the essences certainly do that. Time and time again I have witnessed someone reading the brochure or guide book, and just with the definition of the essence they relate to the essence and immediately it SPEAKS to them, and the process has begun before the first administration of the essence.
I have developed such a love and respect for these essences that I share them with every client that I work with. And I really love that we have a line for our four legged as well, as I also have worked in a holistic vet clinic. The animals just love the essences, and since the animals do not have the judgment that us humans do, they work beautifully to restore the animal to it natural state of emotional well being!
Sheeba, my cat was always very distant and aloof with me and everyone else. Since I have been putting the CAT essence
in her water, she is more vocal and so much more playful!!! Now she plays with her toys instead of curling her lip at them!!! I have an office in my home and with every client, she now comes in and meows to them and rubs herself on them. It is like she is becoming a healing cat.
The complete line encompasses so many emotional needs that it is hard to say which is my favourite essence because they all work so differently.
#11, Skin essence is one of my personal favourites. I take it every day and probably will for months to come. It is one of my “CORE” essences in my program as it helps me with my vulnerabilities. I am a procrastinator, and after doing Ponderosa Pine for months, I realized that I was no longer stuck, but that it was my insecurity that kept me procrastinating and avoiding change. The skin essence promotes self assurance and clarity of action. It also helps me to establish boundaries, as it should, as the skin works as a boundary for our body and our organs.
#9, Bones is also pretty amazing. When I first started with the essences, it was obvious to me that clients that complained of arthritis and RA I would put them on this essence. But then through muscle testing, I had several women that were divorcing their husbands, and every one of them tested for Bones. So I called Daniel, which I did frequently in the beginning!, and he explained to me that with divorce, or any major change, our sense of foundation is greatly altered, and hence the Bones essence was appropriate.
Canadian Forest Tree Essences work outside of the box!!!! Slowly, I was beginning to realize that I was evolving into an “ESSENCE PRACTITIONER”, wow, what a concept that was!!!
Millenium Journey is the rescue remedy of the line and it works miracles bringing poise, perspective and balance to the moment!, as taken straight from the guide book.
One essence that I have had a personal experience with is Yellow Birch.
While hiking in the Gatineau forest with Daniel, the co-creator of the essences, he showed me a yellow birch tree.
Never have I been so drawn to a tree as I was to this, the golden hue of the birch bark was unlike anything that I had ever seen. I hugged the tree and this deep serene calm came up from inside of me, and I never wanted to let go of that tree. I could have stood holding that tree for the rest of my life, time seemed to stand still in those moments. It was in those moments that my understanding of the Yellow Birch essence touched my soul, and in general, my understanding of tree essences and the gift they offer to us deeply resonated with me.
Trees have that gift, they touch our soul deeply, gently yet profoundly, as do the Canadian Forest Tree Essences.
They help us to become firmly grounded into Mother Earth while at the same time reaching for the stars with our crown chakra. They can facilitate a firmness of the spirit, yet yield gently to the wind and to playfulness and flow like the pussy willow.
They can nurture the inner child within or help the elderly come to terms with their transition. The essences can helps us melt our anger into acceptance and joy, and help sadness filter through our lungs.
I truly believe that these blessed essences are one of the greatest gifts that I can share with my clients.
