The Big Carrot Dispensary in Toronto

The Big Carrot Dispensary in Toronto: Offering Canadian Forest Tree Essences For Over 10 Years!

The Big Carrot Dispensary has been selling Canadian Forest Tree Essences for over 10 years.  We love your essences!!

As more and more people recognize the primary role of the Mind, Emotions, and Spirit in overall health, there will be an increasing trend toward Vibrational/Energy Medicine—such as these wonderful Tree essences.  And the shift is happening now.  People (and animals!) feel a difference, and truly feel the subtle, yet profound support that your tree essences provide.

The Dispensary is located on the Danforth in Toronto.  We are one of Toronto’s most well-known health food stores, and carry a wide selection of products—supplements, herbs, homeopathics and vibrational essences, including Canadian Forest Tree Essences.

Our team of consultants is comprised of health professionals from many different disciplines—naturopathic, homeopathic, nutritional, herbal, etc…  Many of our practitioners use and recommend your essences to their clients with great success.  They are nice because they can be used on their own or in combination with other health protocols.

In addition, lots of customers come into the store and find their own essences by reading through your guidebook and/or using such things as pendulums to guide them to what they need.  By way of these tools, the essences become much more accessible to the general public.

We have also been noticing a big interest in medicine for animals.  The Animal Rescue and others have become very popular as pet-owners seek out support for their furry friends.  I recently used Animal Rescue, Animal Restore and Animal Whisper at various stages of my dog’s journey.  I know she was helped and lifted by what she was given.  That is the miracle of energy medicine.

Thank you Canadian Forest Tree Essences!  We are so grateful for your wise tree creations!!! And thank you to all trees everywhere….for being what you are….for teaching us so much.

I am So Emotional…

“When emotions arise such as sadness or anger, I feel stuck for quite a while. Sometimes I feel out of control and cannot get out of it, no matter what.”

Emotions come and go and one cannot dismiss them nor control their creation. The same way one cannot control the wind from blowing or the clouds moving in the sky. They just are.

When you experience pleasant circumstances, happy feelings usually arise. At these times, you do not question or wonder about it because all is well.

On the other hand, when more challenging events occur or something triggers a difficult memory or yet, someone pushes your buttons, other types of emotions such as anger, intolerance, sadness etc. may arise. These feelings create a total different experience which may become uncomfortable not to say unbearable. You wish for those to vanish, to leave you alone.

So, you may either try to convince yourself there is no reason for that. Or you may find very good justifications for what happened or try to understand why. If you are not successful, you may try to change your mind by starting an activity, turn the television on or use any other devices to ease that discomfort. Still, it does not work and you start even feeling anxious about what goes on.

So what to do?

From my own experience and the sharing of some other people who have tried it, a very effective way to handle these emotions before they cause too much upset, is to ALLOW them, STAY with them and GIVE them the inner space required, LONG ENOUGH, so they can eventually dissolve.

HOW TO DO THAT?

FIRST, by acknowledging to yourself what you are truly feeling (instead of denying, justifying, ignoring or blaming).

SECOND, by localizing in the body where you feel it (neck, shoulders, stomach, etc.)

THIRD, by stepping back from yourself and from these experiences and giving space and permission for this experience to occur (instead of trying to push it away, change it, judging etc.)

FINALLY, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT……and wait some more and as long as necessary.

This process may be temporarily uncomfortable but so what? So is going to the dentist for some people. And this too shall pass, as a Buddha use to say.

Do not run away from it, do not use your old tricks. Live up to it! Someone said “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

By doing so, you will magically feel the hold and discomfort being released and dissolved. And what a relief! Just like a tight fist held so tight, you feel the circulation stopping…and then, the fist opens up and you feel life running through your hand.

And you did nothing, except being the witness of this experience.

Try it! It works! Then you may go on and enjoy your day and people around you!

Let me know how you do…

My Heart to Heart session is partly focused on learning this process. One needs to practice.

In my Heart to Heart sessions I may also recommend essences such as YELLOW BIRCH to support consciousness and meditation. (Read more about the qualities of Yellow Birch in the article: Insight into essences

By adding qualities via the resonance and strength of trees, you support the process of emotions, awareness and inner growth.

Spirit of the Forest Spa Session In The News

Carol Perehudoff, a Toronto-based writer, visited the Ottawa region at the end of May. Her article on her spa visits appeared this weekend in the Toronto Star:

http://thestar.ca/travel/ontariooutings/article/693096

In the article, she describes a powerful Spirit of the Forest session with Christine at Holtz Spa.

Thoughts from Terri Songbird

The Solitude of Yellow Birch

When Gulabo  told me that she was writing this month about what to do when emotions arise, immediately I thought of Yellow Birch.

In my practice as a Life Coach and a wellness therapist, I often find myself holding space for my client’s emotional pain body.  What I witness is often the urge to run, or get busy and numb ourselves from our pain or discomfort, after all, marketing through TV, radio and newsprint all tell us subliminally that we are never enough, we are never thin enough, pretty enough, handsome enough, rich enough, smart enough, etc., etc., and that is why we need to buy more.  Seldom are we taught to stand in our emotional discomfort, and just to be with it….to stop the mental chatter long enough to feel our emotional truth….  to BE instead of to DO, to slow down and breathe and become present…

Yellow Birch creates a space within to find the quietude and the solace of our own being.  It quiets the monkey mind and puts out all of the white noise that is so distracting.

This is a beautiful essence to use before going into prayer or meditation. It is also very effective for people who are having difficulty sleeping because it is hard to turn their brains off.  I often encourage clients that suffer insomnia to keep a bottle of Yellow Birch at their bedside, and to take a dropperful at bedtime and anytime during the night for wakefulness. People are so surprised that a dropperful of essence can replace their sleeping pills and sedatives, no risk of becoming dependant on your Yellow Birch!!!!

Yellow Birch and Forest Secrets together make a wonderful combination to silence the mental chatter, and increase one’s ability to focus, as Forest Secrets is the grounding essence.  People with busyness syndrome are seldom grounded, how can you be, running from one thing to the next, mentally or physically?

Yellow Birch and Millenium Journey are another beautiful combination, Yellow Birch quietens the mind, and Millenium Journey gives you poise and balance in the moment….this recipe is wonderful for anxiety and compulsive thinking.  This help those people that chronically put their energy into the “what if’s”, those that are constantly living in the future and filled with anxiety over the what will happen when.

Once, while walking the Gatineau Forest with Daniel, the co-creator of the CFTE, I experienced the beauty of the Yellow Birch Tree.  To say the tree is majestic is an understatement; the colour of the bark radiates a golden pewter colour that only nature can create.  While standing and hugging the tree, I swear time stood still for me, and in that moment I experienced an inner peace that I crave to this day.

Yellow Birch is an essence that can benefit all, as we all can benefit from connecting with the solitude and beauty of our own inner truth.

Tree Meditation 1 – The Fundamental Connection

This is a transcript of an actual Guided Meditation done with myself and Gulabo as meditator on September 5, 2009, in a woods at the edge of a very beautiful and pristine lake near Ompah, Ontario, Canada. The meditation was on a beautiful Eastern Hemlock near the edge of the water. It lasted about 45 minutes, but you can adapt the transcript for a shorter or longer meditation just by decreasing or increasing the periods of silence.

This is a profound meditation based on a 5,000 year old tantra text described by Osho in “The Book of the Secrets,” sutra #106.

The sutra reads: “Feel the consciousness of each person as your own consciousness. So, leaving aside concern for self, become each being.”

Osho suggests first trying this technique with trees or other forms because with people fear may arise in the beginning.

Osho says: “You will be less afraid of a tree so it will be easier. Sitting near a tree, just feel the tree and feel that you have become one with it, that there is a flow within you, a communication, a dialogue, a melting…”

This meditation is about feeling the consciousness of the tree simply and directly in a state of silence and receptivity. So this meditation is not about channelling, receiving messages, but something more direct and profound.

You may sit or lie down for this meditation. Allow yourself to be in as state of relaxed awareness.

So, here is the transcript, please use it freely and let us know about your experience.

“Be in a protected energy field with the tree.

Allow all noises, sounds or sights to be distant and to fade to the periphery of your consciousness.

Begin to feel the consciousness of the tree.

Feel the consciousness of the tree…

Feel its physical presence, its form, its roots, its trunk, its bark, its branches, its leaves…

Feel the tree’s roots reaching into the earth, holding the tree steady and also absorbing nourishment from the earth, taking in water and minerals…

Feel its trunk, the tree standing…

Feel the branches reaching into the sky…

Feel the air surrounding the tree and the light upon the tree…

Begin to go deeper…

Become conscious of the life energy and consciousness of the tree.

Feel the tree’s aliveness

Feel the tree’s consciousness…

The tree’s consciousness is not a human consciousness, but its own consciousness…

It is the consciousness and presence of the tree…

Feel your consciousness opening, expanding to include the consciousness of the tree…

Welcome the tree’s consciousness, find your own consciousness is expanding into the tree’s consciousness…

For the time being put aside your human mind and simply feel the consciousness of the tree…

Feel the tree’s consciousness in you.

Put aside your own consciousness, that is put aside for now any personal thoughts, emotions, feelings or sensations…

Let your mind and thought processes be silent and fade into the background…

And allow the consciousness of the tree with its feelings and awareness to arise in you…

Experience the tree…

Merge with the tree…

(period of silence)

Avoid thinking, any interpretations or judgements, rather let your experience of the tree be pure and direct…

Be open and available to experience what ever the tree is experiencing in its consciousness…

(period of silence)

Allow this presence of the tree to be even deeper…

Allow the full feeling and experience of the tree’s consciousness…

Remain with the tree in very close contact…

(period of silence)

You might notice how this awareness of the pure presence and feelings of the tree creates a circle with you and the tree…

You might notice that the tree also feels your presence in its consciousness…

You might feel that the tree also welcomes your consciousness and presence…

You may feel in this circle of energy that you are being showered with energy from the sky…

You may feel the strength of the earth, feeling deeply rooted…

(period of silence)

There is a circle of energy, the consciousness of the tree and you merging, you and the tree are one…

(period of silence)

Remain in silent communion with the tree…

(period of silence)

Remain here and now with no thoughts or projections…

(period of silence)

Remain present and see how the tree also rejoices in your presence. Feel the tree’s presence in your expanded consciousness…

(period of silence)

Remain present to all that is happening in this expanded consciousness, the merging of you and the tree…

(period of silence)

Continue to feel the tree’s consciousness…

(period of silence)

Experience in consciousness the life consciousness of the tree experiencing form, feelings and sensations…

(period of silence)

Now notice all that is happening within awareness…

(period of silence)

And slowly, very slowly, you begin to come back, remaining in communion with the tree and its consciousness…

Perhaps there are feelings of tenderness, love, appreciation or thankfulness that arise…

And you may want to express to the tree any of these feelings of love or appreciation…

(a few minutes of silence)

You may express in any way that feels right and appropriate now your feelings of gratitude…

You allow your self to say adieu, goodbye for now and at the same time to accept any gifts from the tree…

(a few minutes of silence)

As you come back more and more now to your human consciousness, you know that your experience with the tree is complete in itself…

(a few moments to assimilate your experience, then coming back to a more active, awakened state, or, if you chose, to rest or even sleep)

Allow your self to come back, feeling your body, aware of your breathing, aware of any sensations in your human body… Be present to your own human form. And you may then open your eyes and come back…

Or, if you wish to rest, to absorb this experience, you may also relax and rest now…

Thank you…
