Alpine Aster - Inner Space. Helps us connect with our inner haven, the place of our hidden self where we have complete privacy and space to dream, grow,renew ourselves. Enables us to contact our inner dreaming/spiritual blueprint.

This essence supports us in connecting more deeply with our inner haven - that part of us which is known only to self and spirit. Here is the space within where we are growing and incubating along the lines of our spiritual blueprint. It is a place of incredible intimacy and privacy—the store house of our own unique energy.
Alpine Aster strengthens our connection with this place that is reserved for us to be with our self and our God. It is an essence which invites us to come here to renew and revitalise our senses, our direction, our core. It is like going on a retreat to a beautiful pristine environment in nature, where there is no one else to be found, no distractions, only the potential for a deep communion with one’s self. The essence offers space to simply be — to bathe in the waters of our own spirituality and uniqueness, reconnecting with our dreams and plans, and looking deeply at where we are going.

Alpine Willowherb - Heart Balm. For touching, tending, releasing deeply held wounds in the heart. Brings intimate and poignant connection with long held wounds so that healing may gently flow.

Alpine Willowherb is an essence for tending to sadness, pain, and feelings of being wounded in the heart. For grief, loss, separation, betrayal, neglect, resentment, or for feeling unable to forgive—it goes gently and deeply into the heart’s pain, helping us to bring attention to areas where we have been unable to heal, helping us fully to tend to them.
Alpine Willow-herb is a pertinent and poignant essence - it touches the heart's pain with infinite care and exquisite gentleness. But it is also very direct, going straight to the site of old hurts within our energy, inviting us to feel this pain in a new way—this time with greater compassion, acceptance and calm. As we learn tenderness for our selves as individuals, it is not unusual to experience a blossoming of tenderness for others, in our heart. The essence encourages us to open doors long closed, letting the heart’s radiant energy softly reach out to touch those around us. Alpine Willowherb is deeply supportive in any situation where we feel grief (acute or chronic) and/or where we feel the heart is closed. It brings lightness and acceptance, and helps one uncover gifts of insight often at the centre of such wounds.

£8.95

Angel Star—Guiding Light. For remaining clear, defined and aligned with Spirit and True Self during dark and difficult times. Knowing one’s own path and voice as distinct from the energy of others.

Angel Star is the essence for staying clear, defined, and centred in one’s own truth, no matter what the circumstances. It facilitates knowing our own light and ‘shape’ in times when our clarity is threatened by circumstances or energies which confuse us. Like a clear and slender thread of gold in a very dark maze, it helps us to find our way through.
This essence brings definition to Who We Are when we are in a situation where this feels shaken. Often such situations are alchemical fires in which there is potential for a deeper knowledge of Self to be forged. It supports us in retaining our own voice when the voices of others (including voices from the past which echo in one’s head) confuse and undermine our confidence and our ability to respond from a simple, gentle and empowered place within. It invites us to step away from entanglement with the energy of the situation or the people in it, remaining clear within one’s self. Such situations can feel incredibly dark and frightening, but this essence helps to shed a gentle light into the shadows and illuminate the simple reality. It invites us courageously to walk forward, following that light.

£8.95

Aragonite—Relationship to the Physical. Feeling warm and secure in one’s own body; releasing areas of tension and resistance. Knowing one’s physical body as home. Teaches respect and honouring of the physical body and the body Earth.

Aragonite is one of the most physical of the essences, supporting us in being embodied in a way which feels safe. It helps us contact places within us from which energy has withdrawn—from trauma, fear, old memories, etc. It makes it safe to come back by inviting us to gently soften and release these areas so that the energy can flow here once again. Areas in the body which are tensed and clenched are often indicative of aspects of our being we are not inhabiting - here energy is not moving either because there is a vacuum or because it is blocked. Aragonite helps to soothe the body by restoring to consciousness the knowledge that it is safe to inhabit this gift of physicality we have been given. It gently skims off old memories that come up to be released, allowing us to relax and become more fully embodied, feeling the body's warmth and welcome.
As we heal the pain around our own physicality, our own share of the Body Earth, we each contribute to a greater level of healing on a planetary level. It helps us move beyond the belief that either of these hold unlimited physical resources. It invites us to re-learn our role as that of a guardian - one who tends and nurtures this physicality that it may thrive.

£8.95

Balnakeil Bay—Self-realisation. Activation of your True Self; alignment; alchemy. Coming into the fullness of you own true nature. Realising your potential in this world as a unique individual.

Balnakeil Bay is for self-realisation: the essence helps us come to a place of greater consciousness regarding the totality of who we are and what we have come here to do. The essence helps activate a deep and full awareness of the unique role we have to play in life, and supports us in living this potential. In both senses of the word, it helps us ‘realise’ our true self. It restores us to a sense of our entelechy — our essential nature, our guiding principle.
In becoming more deeply aware of our individual nature, we face the reality of our wholeness — our flaws, our beauty, our darkness and our light, our individual challenges and our gifts. Balnakeil Bay helps us comprehend more of Who We Are and all that this entails, and supports us in embracing and accepting this in its entirety.

£8.95

Bee Orchid—Individual Path. For those who are creating something exquisite, unique, true, in their life and work. Brings inspiration, confidence, and support on all levels, of incredible depth and delicacy. Holds one to this path even when it is solitary and hard. Holds the template for what is being created in order that it may be made manifest through you.

Bee Orchid is an essence that supports the manifesting of one's life’s work. It reminds you to believe in the miracles you are capable of creating, in that it supports you in keeping going against impossible odds, against profound inner doubts, and when it feels like there is no external support or interest. It helps you to birth, nourish and bring forth something that you and you alone can create and contribute to the world, to feel its spiritual blueprint within you and remain connected with the vision of it.
This path can at times be extremely difficult, solitary and unrewarding. But it is the path of individuality—what is being created is unique and you are being asked to do that alone so that the energy of it is not diluted or derailed through contact with others. Sometimes it is the very adversity we suffer that gives us the determination to complete. Bee Orchid helps keep the beauty, the spiritual significance and the depth of what is being produced uppermost.

£8.95

Bird’s Eye Primrose—Vision. Fosters strong and vital inner vision. Clarity to see all perspectives, to look round and take in fully and clearly the truth of your circumstances and to select the way accordingly, in line with your highest vision.

This essence strengthens our awareness of what it is to See. It fosters inner vision and insight around the deeper currents that run through life, and the ability to notice, to be awake, alert, and open to sensing in ordinary day-to-day living. In this way it helps us to see how the ordinary is extraordinary and it rekindles our visionary abilities. The essence facilitates the ability to observe at many different levels at once, to see beyond the material, to discern and sense more than is immediately visible. And it assists in harmonising and integrating what is seen. For those who are developing or who work with a more spiritual or Shamanic way of perceiving the world — who ‘walk between two worlds’, who may be termed ‘seers’ - it supports them in integrating and grounding the perception of other worlds with this reality. Bird's Eye Primrose helps us to look in all directions and with greater depth, clarity, insight, and vision.

£8.95

Bluebell—Trust in Love. Restores us to our purest faith in love and our trust in the love of those around us. Helps us release and move past suspicion and resentment from past mistreatment, to know love again.

Bluebell is a beautiful essence for helping to heal the residues of past hurts and disappointments. It supports us in returning to an innocent belief in love once more—not from a place of naivety or gullibility — but from innocence tempered with wisdom. It helps us to learn the lessons of past mistakes and rather than becoming hardened by them, remain open and accepting of their teachings.
It is an essence which supports us in our vulnerability (note the gentle weeping head of the bluebell, its modest and pervasive colour, scent and beauty) and profoundly reminds us of our own beauty and that of other people, when we come from and engage with love.
The essence assists in moving beyond grudges, suspicion, resentment, the inability to forgive. It brings that profound trust that one can feel on falling in love - the ability to see all the good in a person - and tempers this with the wisdom that requires us to accept and communicate with the shadow in ourselves and another in order that a relationship may grow and deepen. It calls on us to be more mature in our love—to move beyond idealism to the expansiveness and compassion of communion.

£8.95

Chickweed Wintergreen—Compassion and forgiveness. Absolves and purifies. For when we have learnt things the hard way, through difficult experiences; where there is shame and guilt. Clears the heart of negative residue, brings tolerance and healthy remorse.

Chickweed Wintergreen is an essence for wiping the slate clean: it absolves and purifies feelings of guilt and shame.
This is an essence which touches places within us which we are least comfortable revealing to others — places where we hold old pains regarding transgressions we or other people have made which have left us scarred in some way. Regardless of the extent of these experiences and memories in reality, it is the hold they evince over us now which makes them significant. Such memories and experiences take energy from us, undermining that deeper sense of our and other people’s innocence. We lose something of our trust in our personal humanity and humanity at large, so that our fundamental ease and composure is damaged.
Chickweed Wintergreen works with incredible gentleness, respect and tenderness to help us release and heal these areas of our psyche and being. When we stay locked in a pattern of guilt and denial, shunning our shadow self and our shadow experiences, we do not reach the next part of the cycle — to feel remorse and grief, and to learn the healing lessons of the situation. The essence helps us complete the cycle, and come to a place of truly tolerating and forgiving ourselves and others.

£8.95

Cobweb Houseleek—Harnessing Strength. Connection with deeper levels of inner resources and endurance during lean times. Breaking through to new levels of maturity, strength and vitality. Finding within ourselves unplumbed depths of richness and resourcefulness.

This essence helps us to find deep sources of strength, endurance, vitality and resourcefulness within ourselves. Cobweb Houseleek invites us to know and harness our own stamina. It is particularly useful for times when support from others may be lacking and we may feel as if we have to endure a great deal without much respite. Rather than be defeated by the situation, Cobweb Houseleek helps us to go more deeply within to find resources we do not even know we have, to uncover new levels of strength, and to come through with greater levels of clarity and brightness.
As a plant, Cobweb Houseleek grows on rocky outcrops and its roots are shallow — it sits lightly on hard ground and thrives there, a strong sturdy little plant with a bright red flaming star flower. It reminds us of this quality in ourselves — to hold the situation lightly, to dance through, to feel our energy and vitality increased by it rather than depleted, to comprehend its gift of healing and health and let go of the fears and difficulties that would block this. And it helps us open to the possibility that we may come out of challenging situations, stronger than we went in.

£8.95

Dark Red Helleborine— Lost Information. Helps reveal and restore information and knowledge within us / our life that we need to remember at this time in order to move forward. Uncovering deep knowledge, hidden abilities. Engaging with the mysterious and sacred. Key to release.

Dark Red Helleborine draws us towards and evokes in us an awareness of the mystical and sacred in life. It encourages us to explore these energies, in a way we may not have done before, in order to find answers we need at this time in our life. Its energy is feminine, potent and rich, inviting us to delve in to this same energy in us: to enter and explore the deeper mysteries of life and uncover new and wondrous ways of looking at, being with, and comprehending it.
The essence helps us gain insight into how we might best reach for and remember hidden skills and knowledge that we need to access now, in order to move forward. Where one feels lacking in the skills, ability, knowledge to meet the challenges one faces; where there is a sense of being unable to access the deeper mystery and sacredness of an area of one’s life; or where one feels stuck and unable to find the keys that are needed to bring release from a particular situation—it supports one in uncovering and learning to ‘read’ the answers that are already there in your life. At a deeper level, the essence helps us to come to knowledge that is normally reached through profound spiritual practice and experiences. It stirs deep waters within us - resonating with our sexual kundalini energy; our capacity to engage with and co-create with life; and our awareness of how the mystical and sacred directly pertains to us.

£8.95

Globeflower—Inter-relating. Lifts us beyond a limited world view. For seeing the bigger picture, understanding how everything inter-relates with everything else. True ‘global consciousness’. Responsibility for our place and part in the whole—the whole Self, the whole of life.

This essence helps us to see the whole picture - to see and comprehend wholeness in all things. It reminds us that nothing is separate, nothing is simply an identity or thing in and of itself that bears no relation to anything else. All is joined, all is connected and nothing can be done in isolation without affecting everything else, without sending ripples.
Globeflower teaches us something germane to our times - the remembrance that we are all in the same dream and all aspects of the same living organism. We are reliant on each other and we are responsible for each other. The essence helps us with this concept: it enables us to feel at ease in our own being, at the centre of the whole, rather than feeling overwhelmed or despairing at this level of responsibility. The journey begins with one's self - with responsibility for one's world and microcosm, with an understanding of how our every decision affects our life, and with an awareness of how to make choices from a place of wholeness.
With continuing levels of maturity Globeflower can then assist us in going further: it teaches us to apply this beyond ourselves, to think holistically about the macrocosm, the people and planet, understanding our potential to support the earth we inhabit from a place of strength, ease and wholeness within.

£8.95

Golden Light - Dancing Forward. Reconnects us with our playfulness and with our dreams, for manifesting ‘what happens next’ in the life we are creating. Keeping hold of our dreams, looking forward to the future. Clarity, abundance, play. Helps us to keep imagining a rich and beautiful life into fruition.

Golden Light essence enables us to align with the spiritual connection that brings appropriate abundance into our future. It is an essence of intense and invigorating clarity and play. It was made late one afternoon in the mountains of Cumbria when the land was covered in snow, the low winter sun had turned the white valley golden and a polar maritime wind danced and stirred through the environment.
This essence calls on us to play and dream, to dare and imagine. It reminds us to laugh, to open to light and happiness, to experience, to delight and to revel in life. It is from this place that we are most able to create - spontaneously, abundantly, and fruitfully. It helps us to shed our heaviness and our sorrow, our caution and our fearfulness. And it lets us dance into transition without being aware that we are doing it.
Golden Light encourages us to let go and return to a place of childlike trust where we can dream a good dream for our futures and hold it in our mind like stars in the night sky - magical, sacred and blessed.
