Diomira, so good to read this post, and see you express what I have also found, over the decades, to be of so much importance when doing flower essence readings for clients, listening to the plants and flowers and their messages, and watching the clients’ journeys evolve.
Quoting you: “What the essences do is not make you ascend or suddenly gain faery sight…
What they do is help you LIVE better. …part of living better is connection with self and with the world around you. It’s about awakening your connection to the Living World and its mythic forces.… helping people feel safe, grounded, anchored in their body…”
When studying with my dearest friend Steve Johnson, founder of the Alaskan Essences, whom I strongly feel supporting our work from the dimension he has been in for a number of years now, we used to hear him assert, again and again, that the foundational level for our personal healing and evolution while here on Earth is to first fully arrive here.
In his courses, he would repeatedly show us the importance of bringing our souls into our bodies with the support of the essences, and from this place of embodied presence, open our perceptions in balanced and gradual ways.
And based on this foundation, he brought forth a most beautiful approach of focusing on the heart as the center point for of our awakened perceptions. And all the green flowers!!
So much more to exchange on this rich topic! I look forward to continue nurturing this conversation possibly through collaborative dialogues like this one we have just began.
Ruth, Thank you so much for sharing and enriching this conversation with your knowledge and experience. "Arriving here fully" as foundational for our personal healing and evolution. This teaching from Steve Johnson you've just shared is so integral. And then from there, yes, awakening the heart, the organ of perception and truly the center of soul intelligence.
I love all the work and research that Heart Math institute has done around heart consciousness in particular and find it scientifically validates what what the ancients and many indigenous cultures have stated about the important role the heart plays in our evolution and awakening.
I had no idea of these parallels that existed in our work. I'm overflowing with excitement to hear more and cannot wait to weave with you in conversation about these foundational elements of the healing journey and working with the essence medicines in this way.
