Can You Manifest Anything You Desire?

August 26th, 2009 | 1 Comment | Posted in Articles About Tree Essences

Do you believe it is possible to create or attract what ever you wish?

Much in recent years has been written about the subject of manifestation, especially techniques on how to manifest or attract what you want. Do they work? Can people who really learn techniques to manifest things, events or people get what they want? Is there a secret knowledge or are there techniques that would truly empower us to get what we wish for?

Is the secret to manifestation in learning positive affirmations, visualizations or having clear thoughts? Is it in learning to pray? Or, is it in feeling what you wish for through your entire being and celebrating it as if already here in its totality?

With all these approaches and ardent efforts to manifest, how many people claim success? For example, you asked for a job and it is still not here, and yet, you vividly imagined yourself sitting at a fine desk with your name plate written in gold letters, the windows with a beautiful view, a large pay check, fine clothes, prestige and so on…

Is it because we lack power that we seem to fail or is life somehow compassionate to us? Perhaps life protects us, for as W.W. Jacobs warned us in his 1902 short story ‘The Monkey’s Paw,’ “Be careful what you wish for, you may receive it.”

Is our apparent inability to manifest what we desire caused because the words we use carry a double meaning? If words are important for manifestation, then when you say “I need a wonderful and well paid job,” are you really not also saying to the universe that you have no job and little money? Perhaps, unconsciously, you are asking for more of the same.

So now, let’s look at manifestation from another angle.

Perhaps the answer lies in another approach that recognizes the power of the unconscious mind: Manifestation as the outcome of our hidden wishes, deepest desires or thoughts. If so, it is essential to look at unconscious patterns, ingrained values and ways of functioning in daily life for clues. Otherwise, these hidden and largely negative beliefs overpower any positive message we wish to manifest.

For example, you want to be wealthier but all your life you heard that money is hard to get. Or you wish for a healthy and loving relationship but unconsciously, you believe that relationships never work…and so forth.

Well, finally, you have tried all the techniques and yet still nothing has changed. Ok, then what?

Le Petit Larousse definition of the verb to manifest is “To declare, express, demonstrate, reveal…” As to ourselves as individuals the definition given is “To reveal ourselves clearly in our existence, or our nature.”

Perhaps manifestation then is about looking at what already is.

Perhaps the real thing is saying thank you and feeling grateful for the endless abundance surrounding us.

It is so easy to look at what is missing and to wish for something different. When do we really stop and acknowledge the beauty, the wealth, and the endless treasures within and without? When will we stop criticizing and judging ourselves and others? What vibrations does this send out into the world? On one hand we criticize and on the other hand we wish for gold.

When are we going to start loving for the love of loving, sharing for the love of sharing, giving for the love of giving and truly seeing that manifesting might simply be about embracing all that is including ourselves?

I understand that many times we feel stuck by circumstances or incapable of reaching simple goals or life seems just so difficult. Many find life so arduous and no matter how hard they try, it leads to failure. They feel the rare successes they might have is due to chance and not that they necessarily deserve it.

Our tendency is to bring our attention to what is thought to be missing instead of what is, guaranteeing we see failure instead of what is good and harmonious in life.

Manifestation Essence

Manifestation Essence for Web

To help awakening our natural state of gratefulness, and clarity and encouraging the manifestation of our true nature in this world, we created Manifestation Essence.

Acer macrophyllum v37, f2 - 05

This wonderful essences is about being conscious of how and what we manifest.

It is also about discovering, manifesting the hidden treasures within such as inner abundance and joy. By becoming sensitive to our inner being we start developing a vision of our path and by doing so, we start manifesting what our heart really desires as suppose to what our mind would prefer. We find the courage to act according to who we are, and what truly resonate within us as suppose to what we learned or have been told. Saying thank you becomes a natural reflex. We recognize the power of the words we use and so we use words in a cautious way. Our actions are filled with generosity and integrity. We appreciate our own qualities and those of others. The Manifestation Essence opens doors to infinite possibilities. Old limits are transcended.

This is an essence for all that desire to manifest their own truth and to realize their own self.

The Manifestation Essence is for those who wish to perceive and manifest their own truth.

When I photograph, I am trying to capture both the energy and beauty of a tree. In effect, photography is also a manifestation of what we perceive and feel.






5 Tree Essences make up the Manifestation Essence:

Red Maple (Acer rubra) brings passion and compassion to our manifestation.

Acer Rubrum (Red Maple) S18

Bigleaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum) is from Vancouver Island. The original mother tincture was made with the leaf buds, which speaks of potential. When the leaf unfolds it may measure more than two large hands in size.

Japanese Walnut (Juglans ailantifolia) is about being conscious of our words. What we speak is a mirror of what we end up manifesting.

White Elm (Ulmus americana) helps us manifest with confidence and overcome feelings of inadequacy.

Subalpine Fir (Abies lasiocarpa) brings us to the mountains. We see from afar. Our manifestation has the purity of clean mountain air and we see as if from a mountain top.

When my cat, Snuggles, was in the process of dying, I put all of us (my 2 cats, my 2 dogs and myself) on Animal Whisper. When I had to have Snuggles put to sleep, he was ready. The vet even commented on how ready he seemed to be. The other animals dealt with it more easily too. They didn’t seem lost or stressed like when these things have happened before, I was also able to deal with it more easily.

Manifestation Essence

pi_16182

This amazing essence has completely changed my life and I’m so grateful to Daniel and Celine  for making such an essence.

I attended a class with Daniel to learn more about the essences to share and help heal my clients’ emotions and especially my own emotions. Daniel had us close our eyes and go deep inside to find our underlying emotional state at that present time. We were then to find a word or statement that would relate to that emotion. Example: sadness, anger, anxiety, etc. Mine was “difficulty in letting go.” Using the Tree Essence Guidebook, we were then to find the statement and read about the corresponding tree essences.

At that time, I had been through so much trauma and a separation. The statement “difficulty letting go” brought me to the Manifestation Essence.  There were many other statements as well about the Manifestation Essence that related to me, so I started taking the essences right away with a dosage of 1 full dropper 3x a day. If any of those emotions came up and I had already taken my dosage of 3 droppers for the day I took more drops as needed.

I have been on the Manifestation Essence now for many months and have had many positive things change in my life and I’m so grateful for this essence. I have let go and I’m moving on, as well as I have found confidence in myself. Life has changed dramatically.  My friends have made many statements like “you have been through so much and you are so strong and positive.”

When I find myself replaying emotions of the past or encountering blocks I now allow myself to see this as a good sign. I know when I take Manifestation it will help me to clear these blocks.

I use Manifestation as my core essence and add other essences as needed:

Using the the Guilt and Forgiveness EssenceGuilt Foregiveness Essence Bottle for Web

along with the Manifestation Essence allowed me to move on and forgive my Ex. Being a single mom, I have to play the role of both mother and father to my son. The essence called Being a Man Being a Manhelped me with that situation. One of the traumas I had to deal with was a car accident. I used both the Muscles Essence 10 - Muscles for web and the Bones Essence 9 - Bones for webto help me deal with the emotions associated with my outer pain as well as my inner pain. So adding other essences to your core essence helps the individual move through their emotions and to clear the blocks.

Manifestation has opened many new doors for me that I thought were closed for life. I now have a booming business and feel like a new whole person. I no longer criticize life, but look at all the emotional issues as a learning curve.

I’m a practioner in Mississauga, Ontario. Every client I see has 1 to 4 essences added to their program. To see the changes in their life is a major boost in my self confidence as well as the success of my practice.

I also wish to thank Terri Phillips for her great support and knowledge so that I can heal myself as well as my clients.

If you haven’t tried a tree essence I encourage you to do so and see the changes that result when you release your own core blockages, are able to move on and feel strong and confident!

Alicia Rocco Tree Essence Therapist on Tree Essences for Heart and Soul

August 26th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Featured Tree Essence Therapists

Over 20 years ago, I had been a certified Essence practitioner for Bach and North American Flower Essences. I was mixing and diluting for each of my clients from the stock bottles. After a number or years, I realized that it had been very time consuming and I felt like there was something missing.

I entered a meditation and asked my Grandmother Spirit (a native elder) to guide me. Alicia V15, f2 - 5 for August Newsletter She walked me through the most beautiful field of flowers and up a small hill to the top where one of the most beautiful trees stood. I was in awe of it.  I realized my Grandmother spirit had left me there to be with the tree. I had never ever seen one like it before. After a while, I lay down under the tree and asked the tree what it wanted me to know. It never spoke but as I was getting ready to leave, it said “I have come to be of service, let me be used as you see fit.” My first thought as I came out of that mediation was to find that tree.  I looked and looked- no such tree, so since I had asked the question about the essences I Goggled the internet, tree essences and found Canadian Forest Tree Essences. I immediately bought the entire line and began to work with the Daniel and Celine (aka Gulabo).

It has been a long journey and I know we are not done.

Alicia & Gulabo1

I became a USA distributor.

I also teach, and train Practitioners and stores in the use of essences 12synergygroup2-grayscale for printing. I love the trees and the ease of having already made dosage bottles of single and combination essences. As my business continued, I let go of all my flower essences and just use the tree essences.











On one trip to visit Daniel and Celine Alicia & Gulabo4 for a little rest and relaxation, Grandmother Spirit showed up and said “time to work” As the three of us sat and meditated together she laid out my next journey. I began my own line of essences using the mother tinctures from Canadian Forest Tree Essences. Heart and Soul Essences was birthed. The first kit consists of 4 essences for Soul Detoxification. She took me on the Shamanic journey and as I spoke Celine chose the essences and Daniel recorded it all. It was such a profound day. Then I buried them for 2 years as I was told to do. When it was time for them to be put on the market, it happened in 3 weeks. I never had anything happen that fast in my life when working on natural health projects. Grandmother Spirit woke me one night and had me go to the computer and we wrote the booklet in 20 minutes that is included with the kit.

With my love of the tree essences and the help of my Grandmother Spirit, I know there is more to come. I love the trees Ohio trees in woods f15 - 3 and as I watch what they do for the people I serve whether they are a client or student, it always brings tears of joy to my eyes. Speaking of eyes, I created an Emotional Iridology course because I have been an Iridologist for over 30 years and I use the Body Synergy line of essences to help people understand the connection between the body and the emotions.




I remember when Daniel, Celine, and I went to Lily Dale, NY

Butternut in Lily Dale

and started the process of putting together that line. I remember how excited I was because I was hoping that tree would show up that I saw the first time. It did not but a wonderful line that is so easy to use for anyone did.

I am still looking for that tree. I do not believe it is of this world yet, only because I have not found it but in time, it will come just as the Heart and Soul line came. I believe Grandmother Spirit and that tree are not done with me yet. Just maybe that tree is only of the Spirit World! I hope not. I would love to have you see it.

As I sit and write this article, I feel Grandmother Spirit with me and she says, “I am on the right path and to continue moving in the direction she has shown me for if I help one person and that person helps one person and that person helps one person you can see what happens. It multiplies itself out and finally we will understand how we are all one. The essences will continue to help us grow in that direction and with the most profound healing, we could ever imagine. So use essences, continue your soul’s evolution, and watch what happens. Blessing will abound to you, my friend.

Tree Essences For Cats And Squirrels

August 25th, 2009 | 1 Comment | Posted in Tree Essences for Animal Care

Dedicated to Peewee, a beloved cat

Peewee S4a

Gulabo & Peewee V22, f1 - 7

When Peewee at the age of 17 lost his lifelong companion a few years ago, we gave him lots of TLC, and for extra emotional and energetic support we added ‘vibrational’ essences we had made from trees found in North American forests and parklands.

English Cat for web
Not long after, Peewee was again fully in his stride, but then Gulabo, Jason and I, came to a new decision. We thought a few young kittens might provide Peewee companionship in his remaining years, perhaps even keep him young in spirit. One-day Gulabo brought home two fluffy little Tammies “as cute as buttons.”

Champagne S1

Peewee was a truly noble, gentle and even wise cat, even so he was put out by these newcomers. He’d hiss his disapproval and leave the room, especially when either Champagne or Mitten attempted to jump on his tail. We gave him another mixture of tree essences, designed to assuage feelings of jealousy and irritation, and each day we could see him become more accepting of their presence. Some older animals never really adjust to other animals joining the family, but within a week Peewee began to take care of his new sisters. Cats R4, F4 - 1

What are these vibrational tree essences that seem to have an affinity for animals? Not to be confused with highly concentrated and perfumed extracts from plants known as essential oils, tree essences are subtle dilutions, like homeopathic preparations, safe for people of all ages and animals to consume orally. Their purpose is to foster emotional and spiritual well-being and enhance mind/body health. That animals respond particularly well to essences made from trees is perhaps a reflection of the millions of years in which the lives of trees and animals have been deeply interwoven. Trees provide food and shelter for animals, while animals help trees to propagate. An acorn left buried by a squirrel may one day grow into a beautiful tree.

Red Oak acorn B2, f10 - 5

The development of vibrational essences owes much to the pioneering work begun in the 1920’s by the English physician Edward Bach. The essences he created, known as Bach Flower Remedies, are still highly valued. We began experimenting with tree essences more than 20 years ago. Our decision to focus on trees as the source of our essences grew naturally with our sense of their beauty, majesty and power.

Potential use of trees essences with animals is far ranging.

They may, for example, act gently yet effectively to lessen stress and sooth an animal’s nerves in cases of trauma. But equally they may help resolve key emotional issues, restore the spirit of animals that have been abandoned, abused or neglected, or bring serenity and palliative support for animals that are fragile or entering the phase of death and dying. Sometimes their action is of a more general nature.

One summer afternoon the sweetest looking little gray squirrel began following me across our yard in Western Quebec.

Squirrel Founder 2

I was so completely startled that I initially tried to run from her, but soon realizing she was only a tiny baby I picked her up. Gulabo and I contacted the Ottawa Carlton Wildlife Center, a wonderful organization dedicated to helping wildlife in our area. They have developed programs to care for baby animals that have lost their mothers and to return them to their natural milieu. After a few days in the center’s care, we left not with one squirrel but with three: Founder because she found us, Sneeze because she always sneezed at feeding and Shy who always tried to hide under the blankets of the cage. We fed them a special formula via syringe, cleaned them and of course gave them tree essences.

Squirrel & Gulabo S1c for labels

It is said that animals are our teachers. More then just enjoying them, we felt something of an of “aha,” a mixture of insight and wonder as we experienced each squirrel as a unique individual, just in the way we have come to see each tree as a unique individual.

Squirrel  S3

The story came to an end after 6 weeks when we successfully released them. By that time, they were revved up with energy and they darted off when we opened their enclosure’s door by the trunk of a lovely and mature Black Maple. We have spotted them a number of times since, but after a few winters, we wonder where they are and how they have faired.

One proviso is in order when speaking of the use of vibrational tree essences. They are not meant to treat any specific disease or disorder. That is best left to the capable hands of a vet or other caregiver. One of the beauties of tree essences is that they can be used to support the well being of animals we love without concern for adverse effects.  Their use is simple, yet as vets are beginning to discover, tree and other essences can be a valuable adjunct to their practice.

Who is the Master?

“It seems like the more I am present and conscious and the more I work on myself, the more life sends me difficult challenges? It is so hard sometimes, Gulabo. Why is that?”


photograph by Jason Treherne

This question was asked recently by a woman who has been on a self discovery journey for several years.

Yes, there are moments when we feel the universe challenges us quite hard and we do not know where it comes from or why. You may feel you have stepped backwards and wonder why you should even bother. At moments you are even surprised by your own reactions towards a situation or people.

On the other hand, as one stays on the path of consciousness, awareness and meditation, one may experience intensely blissful moments, where you lose yourself in the moment. This is a taste of truth and a confirmation that all is within and available.

So why does it seem to get harder anyway?

The mind is a great tool and it is also quite witty. Our work is to eventually use it to our service and not being used by it; otherwise we suffer because it keeps creating thoughts of fear, anxiety, desires, worries, etc.

But as we become more aware of the games of the mind, more watchful when the mind carries us to different places creating all sorts of scenarios, well guess what? The mind will also have to work harder to find ways to get our attention because you are not as easy to distract as before.

You see, since our youth, all that we learned, heard, saw, touched, felt, even tasted, left imprints and shaped who we think we are. As we grew, the mind understood that it was in charge and became a master at keeping control of the situation. We gradually lost our spontaneous ways of living in the moment as children do.

It seems to get more difficult as we work on ourselves because the mind does not want to let go. Our goal is to become master and use this mind as needed and put it to rest when unnecessary.

There is a constant fight between mind and our self, but when the mind is at rest and hence we feel peaceful, we have access to endless possibilities, since there are no longer interferences. Therein is the freedom to act according to our truth. Our own being connects to the whole. Isn’t that what manifestation is about?

To stand in your truth and manifesting your true nature each moment, this is what I wish for all!

Namasté,

Gulabo
