Background for Butterflies of Japan Essences

These are all Research Essences that were produced in honor of Morningstar's distributor Shion in Japan and Lynx's friends Izumi and Kyoko and Fumika who have all worked so very hard to introduce Morningstar essences to the Japanese people.

In Lynx's words:

"I am very grateful as well as honoured to call them my friends! There is something truly special about these essences, they have a magical, mystical quality that is hard to define that brings such a sense of peace and joy. For me, Butterflies have always been ambassadors of goodwill and cheer as well as heralds of miracles and the strength to carry on no matter what trials one may be facing. I decided to explain here why I have produced so many Butterfly essences as I was able to share with Shion an experience I had as a child that I had never before shared with anyone else. I was going through a very difficult time in my life and was sitting in my "special place" where I could hide as I cried and asked Spirit why such terrible things were happening to me. Suddenly a beautiful, majestic Monarch Butterfly landed on my hand. At first it surprised me and I tried to shake it off but it refused to fly away. I heard a voice asking me what was wrong and would I share my pain with it! I poured out my tale of woe to this wonderful creature and as I did I could feel the pain I was experiencing being borne aloft as though it had suddenly grown wings. The Monarch told me that I too would one day grow my own wings and fly away, up into the realms of Spirit, and if I waited for that day then all would be healed and I would know life to be the wondrous adventure it can be. We sat there, he and I, for an hour, talking and sharing, then suddenly he spread his wings and flew away. The Monarch was right, my life has changed dramatically over the 34 years that were to follow, and I truly wonder if I would have made it through the times that were to come had it not been for this wonderful gift of friendship and caring from a butterfly. It shows that miracles and assistance can come in many forms and ways, there is always help if we are open to receiving it! Since that time, I have had many adventures with the Butterfly realms, always when I have needed extra guidance and support they have been there for me, and it is because of their willingness to be my friend I decided to honour them by producing as many Butterfly essences as I can. It is my way of saying "Thank you" to them and also to hopefully encourage others to learn more about them and how we can help protect their habitats so they may thrive and prosper for generations to come.
