Introduction: how I became an essence maker
As I opened my eyes, the sun was just hovering over the horizon, a giant apricot ball. Golden rays fanned out into a new blue sky washed clean by overnight rain and everything smelt fresh and clean.
I stretched and gazed out of the window. Blanch our pet hen, clucked around the garden, busily looked for her breakfast. Birds sung with such purity, their songs seemed to echo in the stillness. I sighed contently. I never take natures beauty for granted. Here on our farm in Australia, this land seems to call me, and each day I feel as if I walk in a sacred space, The light seems brighter, the colours stronger, the fragrances sweeter.
As I rose to dress, I felt a calling :It is time to make another essence
The garden gleamed before me, colours seeming more intense, and fragrances clearer and closer to me. I smiled to myself and reached for my essence bowl, added water and headed for the garden
. It was warm and seemed hushed as if time has stopped. I stood there, my feet sinking into the soft grass. As I breathed gently, I allowed myself to merge with the garden. I closed my eyes for a minute, offering my love . All earthly sounds faded away and when I opened my eyes it was as if I was in another place. The colours were richer, the garden somehow more real as if light surrounded everything. The sun had risen higher and it seemed that each plant was spun with gold, their colours rich and yet soft too. I opened my heart wider and asked to be shown what I was to collect this day—this moment.
As I walked around the garden, certain plants stood out and others seemed to disappear as if they were not there. Tiny buds called to be picked for new life. Old seeds asked to be collected to release the old, pink roses called, for their own hearts were new love, deep purple pansies called for they spoke to my ajna, bark sung to me, it caressed the earth where it had fallen, and asked to be included as a grounding. A tiny pink Weigelia plant whispered shyly to be picked as she represented love.
I wandered, allowing my heart to guide me, out of time, in this world of light-- collecting the gifts my garden offered until I knew I had finished and then breathing deeply, I allowed my heart to seek a place of rest for the bowl as the essence hatched. A place amongst flowers bathed by sun seemed to call me, and I placed the bowl there with a prayer of thanks, left it to unfold in its own time and later, maybe in a day or two, or even a month I knew it would be ready to be made up. Then I would hear its calling me back, the Mother would be standing with it, and together we would make up an essence out of the new life that had been created in the bowl. Sun, moon, rain, Wind—all the elements of nature offering their bounty as a gift to the blessed one unfolding.
I gather the bowl to me with joy and humility and make up the essence.
My heart is full with the love it gives me. As I write the messages it shares, I understand what its purpose is, and feel deep gratitude for this gift of new life.
This is how I make up an essence Come- walk with me, let me take you by the hand as the mother took mine years ago when I made my first essence. Let me guide you as she guided me, and as you follow the simple instruction offered below, you too will learn how to make an essence as you touch the heart of nature. This journey also opens you to trust , wonder and joy. You too will feel the love of all life—and in this you will see how easy it is to let old energy go as you welcome the new.
My pathway to making essences is an interesting one. It begun long ago, perhaps when I was a child, picking flowers and adding them to water, it seemed the most natural thing in the world, and as an adult I thought nothing of creating herbal teas and steeping flowers in bowls, it was as natural as breathing.
As I grew older, I became aware that others did not see as I saw or do as I did and so I began to explore who I was. Whatever question I had would be answered by meeting the right person, or finding a book, and so I was lead along my sacred path as I begun to understand my true nature. Every day offered new lessons, it still does - and each day gifted me more than I can say. Good and bad— light and dark, polarities of the same frequency, each became my teachers. Underlying all things was a sense of deep connection, and one of joy and gratitude for life.
I studied, then taught yoga, a crystal found me, followed by many and I begun to explore them. I studied Reiki and learnt about the sacred healing. I married a farmer whose land seemed sacred like a temple as it wrapped around me like a blessing each time I walked on it. In time, I began to work as a healer and trance channel and offer workshops using all my experiences to help others.
One day Jenna phoned and asked for a healing. She explained that she needed to release someone she loved very much, her son who had suicided years back as she felt she could never let him go. My heart went out to her, she felt so sad, and so we arranged a time for the following weekend.
I could feel her needed healing deeply, and as I prepared my room before she arrived, I reached for the aromatherapy oils I was going to use, but I got such a strong message to go and wash the burner until it was clean and then I was asked to walk around the garden, picking certain flowers. I was asked to place these in water and to burn them instead of oils for the healing. They filled the room with wonderful fragrances and I felt this also helped Jenna release her grief as well. After the healing, I was told that we were to drink a little of this liquid like tea, and that the following day I was to continue to drink small amounts.
Jenna and I both felt lighter as we drank this tea, it was like a shift, as if someone had taken off a heavy coat for her. I felt it was the healing but since I felt it too and I pondered on the nature of the tea I had made.
The following day, I woke to a strong message once more. I was asked to get a bowl and fill it with water, then to gather the same plants and place the bowl in the sun for a day and a night.
I did as I was asked and then I was given more instructions on how to make it up as an essence. At that stage I knew nothing about making essences and so after this experience, I read everything I could find. I sourced some workshops and sought people who made them. Nature still called me and I made more essences and each one was profound to me. I felt like I was being gifted deep love and that the essence when I had made it, held liquid light. Spirit explained to me that essences as this were physical manifestations of creation’s love, a way people could hold it on the physical plane and that its light was as true in this form.
My first essence was called Divinity, others that followed reflected other aspects of our divine natures and each one I took, seemed to work deeply healing me and helping me release old energies and thoughts. I felt truly blessed for nature had taught me how to walk with the divine song of life, the true nature of creation. It taught me about love, compassion, wonder - about the need for silence at times, the need to trust my hearts feelings and to listen to them too. I was born psychic, but as I grew, I used to question everything and wonder how much I imagined. In the end I knew it was not imagination. I felt lonely though as no one understood this aspect of me and I learnt to keep it to myself, never really being able to express my whole self. true self.
The essences came and taught me more about myself than any other teacher I had. I gradually opened fully to their gifts of love and wisdom and learnt to listen to their sacred messages and record them. I had the greatest of teachers at my fingertips and I felt blessed. I had sought truth all my life and it was as simple as learning to listen to my essences, for their unfolding was one of love, joy and deep wisdom. I had come home to an aspect of myself, and I changed in the deepest possible ways.
I came to understand that making essences was a deeply sacred task and needed to be approached this way. That all nature was a true temple of light and that all that we did was to honour this. As I made the essences, I learn more about this need to surrender to this sacred light. I learnt to merge fully with it in time and it became my greatest teacher.
Many asked me to teach them and so as I begun sharing this knowledge, I watched in wonder as I found everyone could tune in to nature as I did. My students could all hear the voice of the mother in their essences as they unfolded and they all felt a sense of deep peace, joy and healing. This feeling had continued to grow in me over the many years I have been making these essences. Each essence is like a small miracle and each time I feel wonder and joy at its unfolding. Watching others making essences fills me with love and joy for them as I watch their own relationship form with their unfolding essence. I had one student who insisted on carrying his around with him for a few days as if it was his baby, I found it beautiful.
One day I was gifted with the vision of a little South American Indian running through the forest. As his feet touched the earth- ‘The great mother’s belly’ he called it—‘pregnant with life’-- I felt his connection with her. As his fingers brushed past plants, he united with them and became one with them. As I ran with him, I felt his love and union and I understood that he and all life lived as one being. I came out of the vision, tears rolling down my cheeks, grieving that we as human had lost that contact, yet I understood it was still there, waiting for us. I knew that my work with essences helped us all reclaim that union and that when we found it, much that caused fear and unhappiness would be healed.
One day I had another vision. Sandalphon, the mother of earth’s goddesses and the fame aspect of AAMetatron came to me and embraced me. She came to ask me to share with others what she had taught me. Her message is this part of this introduction. Together we will reclaim this pathway and together find more joy than you thought possible, for you will walk with the Mother and find her love is an aspect of yourself. You too will know you are also an essence of divinity and as you walk that path, you will become your true divine self.
Come join me and let us share this adventure together.
I have included my student workshop notes below which will guide you into making your own essences. Please add any comments of questions you have here.
