Cocoa Tree

Accepting that a spiritual path can be easy and joyful, that the Universe is always seeking to bestow blessings and gifts upon us, all we need do is to be open to receive. While first working with this essence I was given a technique to use that is very simple and a lot of fun. I think of something I desire and open my heart to flood it with love and then feel it moving out into the Universe. A more complex technique is to visualize a tunnel or cord of light going from your crown chakra up to Divine Mind while opening the heart and sending love to your wish/desire. It can take a bit of practice to feel in synch with this but this technique produces fabulous results! I feel that people who work with this essence may also find themselves developing many new techniques and concepts that will further the evolution and joy of the planet.

Forest Lilac

For many people, owning or being around numerous healing tools on a daily basis can bring up a variety of issues that the healing tools are attempting to clear and yet the person feeling subconsciously overwhelmed, may resist the healing and allow the issues to fester within where they send out toxic energy. I have seen and heard about many instances where healers or owners of new age type shops for example can be very difficult to work for and have a never ending stream of complaints and issues that drive both staff and customers/clients away. In most cases the person is unaware of the type of energy they are sending out and wonder why they never seem to move ahead in their life's work. This essence can be used to help streamline the healing process so instead of having many issues surface at once, each issue is given a space in the queue so to speak which makes the issues much easier to deal as each issue arises, it is dealt with more positive energy so it can be channeled constructively. For those who work with large numbers of essences this essence can also help shield them from feelings of overwhelm and clears the feeling that they must tackle all their problems at the same time.

Four-O-Clock

Timelessness, understanding the eternal validity of the soul;. Becoming consciously aware of one's natural cycles and rhythms, flowing with them rather than fighting them.

Golden Red Papaya

Helps a person to differentiate between what aspects of their psyche is most supportive and life enhancing for them to utilize and which are support players. For example, a person may feel that their greatest joy lies in teaching and yet they also have a talent for counseling others. The person may have taken on the role of counselor feeling they could do the greatest good for others in that profession and yet feel drained and exhausted as a result. Teaching as their primary means of financial support while integrating the counseling aspect as a secondary and as needed role, would be far more empowering and energizing for the person. This essence also links the three lower chakras and helps a person to feel that they are good, worthwhile and have much to contribute to life and others. It can help with relief of existential guilt, knowing that one deserves to be in the world and is lovable simply because one IS. Golden Red Papaya may increase and enhance sexual arousal and this energy can be used to stimulate sexual intimacy between couples or channeled into creative projects as one see fit.

Inspiration (Phal. Orchid)

Enhances artistic endeavors, drawing upon the energy of the muse. Also for living life creatively with joy and passion.

Excellent for meditation, insomnia, stress. Helps one to take time out for "down time." Very beneficial for those who tend to drive themselves too hard out of a sense of guilt or "no pain, no gain."

Joshua Tree

When I first began working with this essence, a customer called that day and said "what is needed is an essence for when you are dying to the old you but want to feel really good about it". This is definitely an essence for that!

Korean Licorice Mint

Boosts the immune system to increase health and vigor. Also very helpful for clarifying clairvoyant visions and dreams.

Lavender Phlox

This has been a very popular essence for many people, one person has dubbed it the Rescue Remedy for the New Millennium! It is highly protective and shielding, helps a person to move through large groups and crowds without taking on others negativity or issues. This is a fabulous essence for healers and lightworkers for that reason. It raises the vibration of everything it comes into contact with and can be used to smoothe out stressful situations or to be of support in releasing problems to the Universe to be resolved. Many people have begun combining this essence with the Akumon essences Sacred Well and Bridge of Light for an even greater influx of positive energy and experiences.

This has also become a much beloved essence by many people. It helps to connect us with the Higher Realms and Starry Beings who have only our highest good at heart. This essence, as the Lavender Phlox, was produced shortly before my first meeting with the Akumon and it certainly has been of major support for my connecting with them. Many people have reported feelings of bliss, being connected with the Universal flow, feeling such a strong connection and bond with Spirit that their faith has increased substantially and they expect the best to manifest in their lives which of course is precisely what occur, for what we focus on is what we receive. Sky Wings helps to lift us higher into the realms of joy and peace and to magnetize more of the same to us. It releases fear, negative beliefs, and thought patterns and replaces them with faith, trust, joy, and positive expectations. It is excellent for the third eye, throat, and crown chakras and helps to distribute higher energies more evenly down through the lower chakras as well. A truly beautiful essence!

For those who tend to attract large numbers of people who are seeking guidance and support. While the person desires to be of service, the sheer numbers or complexity of the issues being presented to them for resolution may leave them feeling overwhelmed and overextended. This essence helps to remind the person that it is Spirit that does the real work and to step back and allow the Universe to provide the needed words or counseling support through one's self. This essence is also very helpful for those who tend to set aside their own important projects and goals in an effort to serve all those who come to them for help.

Grounding scattered energy. Relaxes and cleanses the Solar Plexus chakra while linking it with the Crown chakra.  Assists one in acting upon the guidance of the Higher Self.

This essence helps to keep such people focused and on track without getting bogged down or feeling trapped.

White Flamboyant of Madagascar

For Spiritual Leaders/teachers who find themselves constantly belittling their own great talents and abilities. Many of those who for years have preferred to stay in the background to do their life's work are beginning to be pushed forward into the limelight so others may connect with them and benefit from what they have to offer. This can be quite alarming for these folks and this essence is to help them feel good about their new role and to be able to receive the recognition they really deserve.
