Active Serenity
Working primarily on the mental body centres, this combination is excellent for distress and fatigue. Tension held in the brain stem and alta major chakra (back of the head) is dissolved. One can experience relief in the frontal lobes, aiding critical thinking and decision making. The end result is that the crown chakra opens to a new clarity and mental energy which is calm yet energised. an excellent essence to use in times of major life transitions.

Being Present
Combining Walking to the Earth's Rhythm and Being in Time, this essence helps one to be present within one's surroundings. Very good to use after a long journey, to assist all the parts of one's body and mind to 'arrive'. Also helpful in facing difficult issues in conversation or in therapeutic circumstances.

Double Espresso
For those times when one needs an extra boost to one's energy. an essence equivalent to a cup of strong java, not an essence to take daily or frequently, but rather in critical instances when extra energy is urgently required.

Gentle Geisha
Energetically almost the opposite of Double Espresso (immediately above), this combination is excellent for unwinding at the end of the day. Helps to calm the overly-active mind, bringing one - very gently, graciously - back into one's body. Imagine sinking one's head down into a soft silk cushion, and knowing that there are times when it is entirely appropriate to set aside concern for the many responsibilities and cares that one has acquired. Allow the energies of these three beautiful orchids to soothe and nurture you, while you relax with a cup of tea.

Gentle Sleep
Gentle Sleep is an enhanced version of Gentle Geisha, with the addition of the essence of Rhododendron griffithianum, made by Don Dennis in Achamore Gardens. Rhod. griffithianum produced a deeply calming, relaxing and peaceful essence. Yes, this 4th component is not an orchid essence, but these days, especially in the UK, disturbed sleep has become a major issue for many, and so the importance of 'bending' our tradition in this one instance felt appropriate. Gentle Sleep helps one to achieve a deeper and more relaxed sleep.

Happy Relief
Brings a sense of happiness and gentle yet strong vitality. Has the surprising effect of making one feel quietly happy, and at the same time clearing mental/emotional tension and distress. The Baihui (the "place of a hundred gatherings") in Chinese medicine opens to give the head a sense of upward lift. The vaihui point is on the summit of the skull just two fingers width behind the crown chakra. In the Chinese tradition it governs the major acupuncture meridians. A good relief in challenging circumstances.

Healing the Hidden (Heyoka)
Heyoka is the Native American Contrary or in England the Shakespearean Fool. Real spiritual power is non-structured and can work in reverse or backwards motion taking things out of the aura. More inner space brings the causal body into place. Energetically works on the outer aura and then inwards to the inner core and then to the head. If you are in tears, Heyoka will bring relief; if you are hiding tears, Heyoka will remind you that you are carrying that pain and grief. Why hold on to it?

Party Time!
A celebration of the sensual dance of life. To everything there is a time and purpose, and with this essence we can remember the value of fun, and the enjoyment of the senses. Dance again, before you forget the joy it brings!

Positive Flow
This essence combines the positive mental attitude fostered by Positive Outcome, with the high reach and power of our essence Pushing Back the Night. This combination provides one with a shift in mental outlook combined with a strengthening of the solar plexus, and an intensification of the "ajana" centre between the eyebrows. This centre is at the heart of our mental body's ability to make things manifest. So with this essence one remembers how to 'make things happen,’ and one is energized to do so with immediate effect.

Shiva's Crown
Heightens and deepens the soul's understanding of its journey in this physical body. This essence goes into a part of the brain known as the limbic system and connects the causal body with the soul's journey and its divine contract, thus enhancing the process of spiritual healing. Assists in the therapeutic effects of other healing processes in the body as well. On a slightly technical note, Shiva's Crown connects the dreaming point on the top of the head with two points on the temporal axis the right and left, the left being the shadow side of the energy system.

Soul Shield
There are times when we need to protect ourselves, for a variety of reasons. People that work with light are highly likely to attract challenges from diverse and sometimes dark energies from time to time. As well there is the global situation, which is increasingly shrouded in threatening shadows. Soul Shield provides powerful protection at multiple levels, to help us bring that light we carry within safely through with strength and certainty.

Temple of Light
Temple of Light was created to meet the specific problem of an incongruity between The Bai-Hui point and the inner chamber of the heart, and the seventh chakra and the fourth chakra as well. Most authorities believe that there is not real healing when these four points are out of synchronisation or not connected. There are various ways that these points could be connected but nothing that acts quickly or permanently. To assist a rapid resolution of this problem, this essence was called into being.

Vital Lift
This combination is the same as Double Espresso, but with the aligning and calming addition of Core of Being. Vital Lift gives one a calm, centred 'in-the-body' boost of energy. Helpful when one is flagging, giving stamina for focused work.
