Dill Flower Essence: Anthenum graveolens

Donna is easily overwhelmed. She constantly feels bombarded by stimulus. Sometimes she can’t even distinguish between tastes and smells or sights and feelings. Donna’s mind races from all of the sensory input, especially when she is at work. She gets so overwhelmed that sometimes she starts to cry. Most evenings Donna has to sit in a darkened, quiet room just to be able to calm herself down.
Donna needs to find a way to slow down in this fast paced life. How can she calm her mind so she can relax? Even her dreams are hectic.

Heart and Mind Opener: Basil

History
In India basil is considered a sacred plant. It is known as the flower of Krishna, as he always wore garlands of basil around his neck. In his teachings he used basil to help with detachment, to strengthen faith, devotion, compassion and clarity. Wherever it is planted is considered a place of peace, piety and virtue. It was also traditional to lay a basil leaf on the chest of the dead to open the gates of heaven for them. In Egypt basil is scattered over the grave of the departed and used to embalm the mummies. The Greeks carry basil on journeys for safety, and use it as a symbol of mourning. In the Italian countryside it was worn by courting peasants as an emblem of love and fidelity. In England departing guests were given a small pot of miniature basil to aid them on their journey.
Self-Heal—Finding the Ability to Heal Yourself from Within

Self Heal, also known as ‘Heal-All’ or ‘Heart of the Earth’ by past herbalists, sums up its essence in its various names. As one of the most universal flower essence remedies, Self Heal flower essence is an excellent way to begin most healing programs. It helps the Self get involved in the healing process.
Many people feel overwhelmed when facing their own health issues. It is difficult for them to connect with their inner resources and stimulate the healing process. Modern society has encouraged this behavior; most people hand responsibility for their health completely over to the doctors and often a set of high tech machines.
All healing comes from within and Self Heal flower essence helps us find the source of that power. It is a great flower essence when a person has lost hope in their own healing abilities. It is equally useful for the hypochondriac that uses illness as a way to receive attention from others.
How We Came to Love Wild Oat for The Cardinal T-Square
Posted by admin on Mar 27, 2010
Editors’ Note: Following up on last week’s blogathon, we were discussing this topic amongst ourselves and some of our authors. After emailing one another, we realized that we had developed an interesting and hopefully helpful piece for this blog.
Auntie Moon/CJ Wright:
Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a Cardinal T-Square Blogathon essence and we could all be sipping it right now? Maybe we could just drink a bunch of “Drank” or “Mary Jane,” anti-energy drinks, until we find the right one:

Balancing on a Sunbeam: Sunflower Essence and Self-Confidence

One of the ways I came to know the essences in my collection in the early days was to meditate on one each night. I would put a dropperful of an essence into a glass of water, stir thoroughly, and sip it slowly while noting the thoughts or impressions that came into my mind. Read the rest of this entry »
Pussytoes Essence: Recover Surrender
Posted by admin on Jan 10, 2010
By Deborah Bier, PhD, maker of the Whole Energy Essences
I received an email recently from an essence customer who purchased a Whole Energy Essences Recovery Essence set and couldn’t find a description for Pussytoes in the book we sent along with it (an earlier edition of The Encyclopedia of Vibrational Essences). That was because Pussytoes was a late addition to complete this set, and I never got around to writing an entry!
But suddenly, I felt the urge to write it. Looking through my research notes, I could see why: it is actually a “fleur du jour” — a term used by my Vibration co-editor, Donna Cunningham. This expression refers to any essence that keeps being indicated again and again across many people because it is a reflection of a larger cosmic, impersonal need of the moment. (See her article about this concept here: http://www.essences.com/vibration/june98/fleurjour.html) Read the rest of this entry »
Untying Knots About an Essence’s Use
Posted by admin on Dec 13, 2009
Editors’ Note: The below is correspondence between Vibration editor Deborah Bier and Acey from Sparkling Lotus (http://www.sparklinglotusink.com/). This type of back-and-forth is typical when essence makers, practitioners or users are trying to build on one other’s impressions and experiences with an essence in order to understand its action better. The correspondence came from a search Deborah did for information about Thyme, both parties never having met or corresponded before. We are grateful that there are essence makers like Acey — who turned out to already be a Vibration fan — willing to so generously share their knowledge in this way. And thank goodness for the internet: what would we do without the contact and learning it facilitates!

Hi, Acey — I was looking online for some maker’s description of Thyme essence, and found your resonated the most of those I found. I’m thinking from the way you described it, that it maybe can be used as a “toner” essence — one that enhances the action of others. Does that seem to fit from your experience? I only have a not-much-used research Thyme essence I made some years ago. It was called for in a mixture I was making to help tend to tomato plants that have the late blight, and I was curious about its known action.
August 12:
Hi Deborah – So sorry for the delay in my response. It’s that drop-in summer guest time of year! I do very much think of Thyme as a toning agent and also a source of amplification pertaining to a group of essences to be used in combination. This trait seems especially prominent when thyme serves as a bridge for other essences that feel/seem disparate in their vibrational and healing signatures. Do you have experience with Lemon Verbena? I have found that it has similar properties.
In any event, I have worked with thyme most usually on behalf of clients who are very hypersensitive at a vibrational level. The remedy can be especially useful if they are suspicious of blends or synergies that contain more than three essences. The thyme signature seems to help them “sort” the various inclusions in a way that leaves them feeling more knowledgeable and confident rather than anxious or preoccupied by the possibility of energetic bombardment.
August 12:
Acey, thanks for the reply. Peach is also a toner, as are a few others. You might have caught Vibration’s article on the topic.
Good to have the info about the sensitive folks — they certainly do have suspicions for good reasons, though some take it to the level of never taking anything at all. Yes, this mixture I made that called for it had two separate threads running through it, so sorting might have been called for! Thanks.
An Essence Boosts a Reiki Attunement

Reiki is a strong form of energy work for healing, and, as a Reiki Master, I find that Reiki and flower essences complement each other well. Reiki provides a deep and gently relaxing experience during which the client’s own healing mechanisms are activated.
If taken for a period of time after a Reiki session, the essences can continue to facilitate the ongoing release of blockages and imbalances. Read the rest of this entry »
