 I was intuitively guided three years ago to a holy centre in India to make essences from the trees, flowers and bushes, to assist humanity to transmute and transform on all levels of consciousness to where wonderful new vibrations of love, peace and harmony can be seeded within us. I have called these essences Light Spirit Essences, and I would like to share with you one of these essences that relate to our connection to our earth and our universe, and the love that runs through all.
The great banyan tree, from which the essence was made, was such a delight to stand under and feel its lovely shelter and wisdom, and it imparted to me some of the knowledge that it contains. It holds this knowledge because of the years that a spiritual master spent under it. I received the following information direct from the tree spirits, and it has proved to be one of our most powerful essences for expanding consciousness. The following is an excerpt from my book on these essences, Light Spirit Essences Reference Guide.
The Great and Holy Banyan Tree
 This is a huge and beautiful tree with a strong rooting system, and yet, it has a spirituality that embraces the universe. It is a working tree, and holds powerful energies that are able to assist those of us who want to expand our boundaries from our limited selves, to feel and stretch out, and link into the oneness of our creator. This banyan tree has tremendous light within it as well as great strength and is in complete harmony with the universe. It contains right knowledge, right action, right timing and is rhythmic and cyclic. This sacred banyan tree holds within it knowledge about the different ages and eons of time that have passed on earth, and is very steady and solid, holding its knowing in stillness and strength. Through this essence we are encouraged to stand strong, with feet on the ground, and to hold onto our convictions of truth, even when others are not in harmony with us. This tree passes some of its knowledge on to us through this essence: How to be on this earth and not to be 'blown' off course by those who are not ready to receive the truth within themselves: How to 'know' and also to keep silence when necessary. The seeds of new growth are planted within and need not be shared until they have rooted and grown strong shoots, and can withstand the criticism of others.
This particular banyan tree is so big, strong and protective with a massive rooting system. It lends its protective nature and strength to you when you are feeling vulnerable, doubting, and unsteady. There is another aspect of this particular banyan and that is its ability to convey Silence into our human consciousness. It is under this tree that a holy Master started his life of silence, and the tree itself carries within it a profound and deep presence of silence. Beneath all sound is a deep abiding silent stillness that gives a sense of belonging to something deeper than anything that we can see or hear. It is most healing and comforting.
This great banyan tree allows you to realise that your true essence is of the Oneness of our creator, and that you are not confined to your human body but are also connected on other levels to the universe itself. This is an essence to do away with limited small ways of thinking, and is of an expansive nature. It brings knowledge and understanding of who we are as human beings in this universe, and a realisation of the sanctity of our life and the life of all that lives.
A few drops of this essence given with love and placed in streams, rivers and near plants and trees will uplift their energetic frequencies.
 Quality:
Expands our consciousness to embrace the universe and our true connection to it.
Leads us into a deep and abiding sense of silence within ourselves.
With its strong rooting system this tree is a major grounding force.
Balancing, strengthening and uplifting. Joyfulness and openness. Protection and wisdom.
Conveys needed truth and knowledge into our systems.
Disharmony:
Being too earthly and closed to our connections to the universe. Relying too much on the outer world.
Viewpoints too narrow.
Feeling unsettled and not at home.
Requiring constant noise and entertainment. Too much stimulation.
Flitting through life like a butterfly.
Feeling of over-importance.
Feeling weak and unsteady.
Affirmation: I am a part of all that is. I am part of everything that lives.
Self process: When taking this essence, take some time to be in Nature and notice the many different forms that blend together in the scenes before you. They are all living, changing and growing as you are, and it is the same creative force that is moving through them that moves through you. Find places where you can look out at the night sky, and expand further as you look into it and feel your connection to it. Many understandings will come to you if you are open to them. Allow the feeling that there is one force in the whole universe and also within you. Practice a time of silence each day and notice how much more relaxed you feel as you touch deeper into your real self.
