WHAT ARE ESSENCES?

When you take an essence you are taking the bottled energetic imprint of the flower, gem, environment or astrological alignment from which it is made. They are called 'essences' because the liquid carrier you take as drops is literally imbued with an individual blueprint or life-force. They are often known as Vibrational Remedies - this is because they work by creating a resonance between the essence's energy field and our own, which helps to lift and refine our energy to a more harmonious and conscious level. Taken over a period of time, the effect is cumulative.

WHAT DO ESSENCES DO?

Essences help foster an internal space of clarity, awareness and congruence between the various levels of one's being. As healing tools they can offer profound support and insight - emotionally, mentally and spiritually:

1. On the emotional level, they can help to bring clarity and support to emotions so that we do not feel overwhelmed, or in chaos within. They do not suppress emotions or take them away, but they do provide the internal space and support for us to experience them in the way that is most gentle and healing. By enabling us to be centred inside, it becomes possible to journey through emotions with understanding and compassion, and with the potential to deepen our knowledge of our self and our emotional landscape as we do so.


2. On the level of our thoughts and beliefs, essences can help to make conscious the role our mind plays in our well-being and happiness. Each time we take them, just as each time a person meditates, we are effectively drawing within us the energy of harmony, clarity and light that pervades the natural object it is made from. It resonates with our own true nature, with ourselves when we are centred, calm and at one within. We begin to recognize those aspects of our thoughts and behaviour that are no longer congruent, becoming more open to those parts of our nature we may have found difficult or uncomfortable to accept. The essences provide us with both insight and internal support to do this.


3. On the spiritual level, essences can support us in trusting and resting in our inner space - an expanse of pure being found at the centre of all living things. Here it is we connect with limitless strength, guidance, compassion. In taking them, their presence is a constant and gentle reminder to keep returning here, to regain trust in our connection between self and spirit, and to have confidence in our unfolding. Here we find the vast creative life we think exists 'outside' us - the peaks and troughs, the shadows and visions, the harshness and the beauty. As we explore and accept this within ourselves, our journey in the 'outer' world becomes more congruent, fluent and conscious.

IN WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES DO I TAKE ESSENCES?

Because essences work by increasing our connection with our own light - our centre - there are many circumstances in which they can be helpful. The distinctly spiritual nature of the LightBringer Essences and their clarity and subtlety, fit them for situations where you need to feel more clear and clean within yourself, more connected with your truth and more consistent in the way in which you use your energy.

WHAT MIGHT I EXPERIENCE?

Taking essences is different for each person, but there are common experiences. Their action is gentle, subtle and deep. Whilst some people will feel this straight away, for others it can take a few days before they fully feel the effect. Some do not sense how the essences helped until they stopped taking them, realising their absence.

Generally essences help a person feel more balanced, peaceful, and centred. Strong emotional states may begin to harmonise, or a person has more insight into the causes behind their situation. For some the essences go straight to their emotions, for others to their mental process, and for others to their spiritual self. There is often a feeling of easing and relaxing in areas of one's being that have felt tense, unresolved and negative. You may find that naturally you have changed how you were viewing or behaving in areas of your life that caused you distress, thus enabling a more healing dynamic to occur.

Occasionally, essences bring up unresolved emotions for healing. This can feel uncomfortable for a day or two, but the essences are supportive during this process. If it feels too much, then it is possible to take them less frequently and with fewer drops until the right level and pace is found to suit you.

HOW LONG SHOULD I TAKE THEM?

Essences can be taken for as long as the situation you are in - or the healing issue you are facing - needs support. A dosage bottle of essences (see TAKING & SELECTING ESSENCES) usually lasts 3 to 5 weeks. It is advisable to continue the essences until you have finished the dosage bottle so that they are given time to fully work with your healing process. At this time, you may wish to take the same essences again if they feel appropriate or re-select some or all of them. In this way, you continue to move with the process you are in and the essences help you retain your equilibrium.

Some people take essences as a constant part of their healing journey. The regular re-selection of essences serves as a means of checking in with your internal process as you go through life, and gives specific support and insight into those areas that are most pertinent for you at any one time. The essences will continue to go deeper and deeper, helping your growing consciousness around your process and your purpose in being here.
