Introduction to Living Tree Orchid Essences

The essences have been carefully co-created in their initial years (starting in 1998) at our earlier base The Living Tree in the Milland valley in West Sussex. Their home is now on the Isle of Gigha in Scotland, which is also where the bottling and distribution is carried out. Made with orchids grown in greenhouses, and using a non-cutting method for the essence making, these essences depart from some aspects of traditional essence making.

Once one encounters the profound beauty and depth of being found in these orchids, a non-cutting approach feels compelling. And the fact that the orchids are in an artificial environment may seem at first impression rather odd; but one may also see that these plants are volunteering to work directly with us, and have entered into interaction with us very consciously.

Made primarily by Don Dennis and Heather Decam, with Natalie Shaw and Dominic Jones also participating, nearly all of the essences were made by a male & female team. Peter Tadd and Heather DeCam provided the major share of the information on each essence, along with feedback over the years from our friends and customers around the world.

One distinguishing feature of orchid essences in general is their ability to act upon the chakras which exist above our body. This combines with their action in the body to create very powerful shifts in our energy fields, often with very immediate effect. They also have an overall strong focus on helping us directly in relation to our spiritual path.

Removes negative energies, and may also serve as an enhancer for some of the orchid essences. Amethyst is both clarifying and calming, and helps focus the mind. Helps bring the energy one needs to accomplish goals, especially goals of a spiritual or caring nature.

 

Phragmipedium Andean Fire

Andean Fire

Add to Shopping Cart

One name for this essence could have been "Resurrecting Courage and Purpose," even when overwhelmed by the suffering all around, even in the face of absolute physical challenge. Would help those who have been victims of torture or major disasters in this or a past life. This is a major essence to address the horrors of human suffering and a way to experience what is meant by The Compassion of Christ.

Laeliocattleya Angel Love

Angelic Canopy

Angelic Canopy brings nurturing to those who are in grief, despair or who have lost hope. Releases the tension from the flight vs. fight response, thus helping to increase one's sense of security by realigning to the values of life. "All things can be done in Grace."

Bulbophyllum gracillimum

Base Regulator

Add to Shopping Cart

Base Regulator is a very powerful essence with several layers of activity. There is a profound effect on the pelvic centres as well as on the crown chakra. It establishes a countercurrent in the pelvis, reining in excess sexual energies. Base Regulator also has a powerful effect on the liver in reducing heat in the organ.

 

Comparetia macroplectron (Colombia)

Behold the Silence

Add to Shopping Cart

This essence provides a pathway to enter into the profound silence of universal being and invites us into a new relationship with the future. As the future becomes more and more present in the depth of our inner silence, the past goes back into itself so that we no longer hold the past in the present. In this way our former actions or karmas dissolve. What remains is unobstructed action. Place 4 drops in a small amount of water, and hold in the mouth for 15 seconds to enable the energy to be absorbed through the roof of the mouth and enter the crown chakra. Good for meditation, vision quests, as a preparation for various rituals, and for becoming aware of the sacredness of Nature.

Combos: Gentle Geisha, Gentle Sleep, Sleep of Peace, and Coming Home

Ascocenda Princess Mikasa

Being in Grace

Add to Shopping Cart

A large and vibrantly purple vandaceous orchid, the colour of the blooms is central to the action of this essence. This essence is in part a cleansing of one's old emotional pain that can appear as physical distress or energetic blocks. Its healing process goes deeply into the emotional centre of the brain; it also releases tension from the kidney meridian.

Phragmipedium Ainsworthii

Being in Time

Add to Shopping Cart

Get the body into 3-D time. Very important to enable therapists to bring the client into contact with and stay in the lower half of the body. Helps those who are reluctant to incarnate fully into "the here and now". It does so by harmonising the body's etheric cycles with those same cycles in Nature. This is a calibration to a flow which helps one to manage one's time better, especially when there is the sense of having too much to do and too little time to do it in. GREAT FOR JET LAG. The body can immediately harmonise and integrate with the time zone of the local area no matter what the distance or direction of travel.

Combos: Being Present

Blue Angel

Add to Shopping Cart

This beautiful essence helps us reconnect with the soul’s blueprint, and the origins of our soul. Blue Angel is a very reflective essence: it is akin to looking up from the bottom of a clear blue lake and seeing the light percolating into the depths of the water, as we look up to our origin.

Blue Angel clears unwanted negative imprints in the lower chakras, enabling channels to open in the psyche, drawing our attention to aspects of the soul that we have forgotten. This process can stir into consciousness elements of the subconscious mind. Occasionally the essence can give rise to an intense anger at being reminded of our soul’s obligations on the journey, which we may have conveniently forgotten or resisted. This anger is a necessary response and is best not interfered with. It will usually pass within a few days, bringing in its place a profound longing to draw closer to our origins, and to fulfil our soul’s purpose in this incarnation.

Anguloa virginalis (Peru)

Boundless Peace

Add to Shopping Cart

Imagine a translucent jellyfish pulsing or champagne bubbles streaming to the surface. Experience a sense of buoyancy, floating freedom, and ease. Great for relieving tension in the frontal lobes of the brain due to too much mental work. Opens up our consciousness to active and productive dreaming. Space takes on a gentle shape with delicate edges. Great for men who need to balance their overly masculine temperament.

Combos: Gentle Geisha, Gentle Sleep, Sleep of Peace, and Coming Home

Laelia crispa (Brazil)

Carnival

Add to Shopping Cart

Rhythmic and passionately sensual. Very large blooms. Very good for those who are overly intellectual and live at some distance from their body. So instead, distance from the stress of a busy day when you arrive home and remember to enjoy a little, more and more.

Combos: Party Time!

Paph. sanderianum

Celebration

Add to Shopping Cart

After we have healed the primary traumas which the psyche is inclined to hold, once we have addressed the dead-pelvis syndrome, and the ancient and recent heartaches; once the powerful traumas of the past have been healed, what then? In effect all essences that address remedial conditions ('negative' states) are concerned with our Becoming healthier, more whole. But once those conditions are healed, then we move beyond the need for an essence of Becoming, and into the qualities of Being. Celebration appears to have almost no concern with remedial conditions, but instead invites you to experience deep and powerful Being. Celebration will be of 'benefit' primarily with people who have engaged in the healing of their various traumas already, in one way or another. For the orchids it represents a culmination of 14 years of essence-making (as well as 14 years of orchid-growing!). It is a powerful and beautiful essence, inviting us to experience the depths of our spirit.

Combos: Karmic Calm

Dendrobium lawesii

Celestial Siren

Add to Shopping Cart

The growth habit of this orchid species from SE Asia is remarkable: the long thin pseudobulb hangs down from a branch, held by its roots, and the blooms grow facing down to the earth. Yet the thin tube with nectar at its tip (the "nectary") grows back up towards the sky. And so when we take this essence, there is almost always a pronounced postural change noted: the head tilts forward, and yet there comes a sense of energy moving back up through the head, arcing from the face through the brain and back up out the rear top of the head. This is then followed by a deep, lasting stillness of being. Negative flames of thought are snuffed out like little candles with a snuffer. There is a sense of the Higher Self calling one's soul to remember its deepest and highest potential, to reach towards the inner beauty of enlightenment, yet remaining calm, rooted and centered.

Combos: Celestial Defender

Scaphosepalum bicristatum

Celestial Triangle

Add to Shopping Cart

Geometry has perhaps never been as delightful as with this essence. Triangles are formed by the blooms on each of the multiple spikes of the plant, and energetically a series of triangles are acted upon in the energy body from the pelvis up through the head and above. Calm serenity and gentle clearing are accompanied by lightness of heart with this orchid, and as the action moves to the head and above, another geometrical form develops, that of a torus. This is the fundamental shape of the healthy human aura, and also of each of the chakras as well. (The torus is the mathematical name for the donut-shape.) Celestial Triangle helps develop the torus of the aura as it moves above the head, but only after it has first lightened the heart. One of our early "provers" saw Kuan Yin appear to her when she meditated on this essence, who told her this essence was about bringing in "new consciousness". The prover asked Kuan Yin how she should deal with people stuck in the older consciousness, she was simply told, "Send Love. The new consciousness and mind create a new air, which goes into people. Spread Love."

Celestial Triangle is the 2nd of an essence trilogy, which begins with Crown of Serenity. True Connections is the 3rd essence in the trilogy. There is significant benefit to be found in experiencing each of the three in turn, as follows: take Crown of Serenity on one day, then Celestial Triangle the next day, followed by True Connections the day after that. On each day take the essence drops from the stock bottle once, either before bedtime or before meditation. Repeat this sequence for a total of 21 days.

Bulbophyllum carunculatum

Centre Renewal

Add to Shopping Cart

Renew the Dance of Life, the movement of joy within. This essence acts at several levels: energetically supports the digestive process; heals and develops the energetic structure of the 3rd chakra; and helps connect one with the Universe via the abdomenal chakras.

Aeranthes grandiflora (Madagascar) & aquamarine gemstone

Clear Mind

Add to Shopping Cart

Clears and calms the mind offering clarity of perception and reflection. Eases mental tension from the mid-brain, "The Mental Break" essence. Think of the clarity of a pale and clear gemstone; the calm of a cool, cloudless, still winter's night. A full moon reflected on a quiet lake.

Combos: Sleep of Peace

Phrag. Don Winbur

Clearing the Way / Self Belief

Add to Shopping Cart

Serves to strengthen one's belief in one's own inner and outer spiritual resources, and one's ability to move forward with projects and goals. A wonderful "can do" essence. This essence helps relax tension in the 8th chakra, a result of trying too hard to be perfect and stay in control of everything in our lives

Combos: Active Serenity, Double Espresso, Happy Relief, True Beauty, Vital Lift

Nanodes medusae (Ecuador)

Core of Being

Add to Shopping Cart

A very important essence to realign to our spiritual axis. This essence enters into one's causal body, which is the "Spiritual White Light". It appears as the central axis, a small-diameter shaft of light running parallel to and just in front of the spine. It is the origin of the chakra system. In a gentle yet profound movement, the essence helps us to align to the higher chakras that compose and create the causal body light shaft and surrounding causal and celestial auric fields. In doing so, the etheric, astral and mental bodies harmonise very well.

Combos: Active Serenity, Happy Relief, Temple of Light, Temple of Light (5), Vital Lift

Bulbophyllum gracillimum

Core Release

Add to Shopping Cart

This orchid is one of the few in our range which gave rise to two essences, related yet quite distinct in their actions. Base Regulator was made when the sexual parts of the blooms (the white & yellow elements seen in the photos) were still concealed within the dark red forms of the petals. Core Release was made some 18 hours later in the bloom cycle.

The energetic differences are substantial. As with Base Regulator, Core Release has a major impact on the pulsation points of the pelvic region, but without the damping impact on the libido. Core Release enhances the sexual centre's sensitivity, and at the same time brings an element of protection to the entire pelvic area. This is a highly unusual feature of this essence, which we have not encountered with any other essence. Core Release also brings an impetus to get on with things one needs to do, through its action on both the 3rd chakra and the Ajana centre. Moreover one's intuitive abilities are hightened. As it is a very new essence, our understanding of it will be developing further in the months ahead.

Combos: Energy Matrix Protection, Sacral Regulator

Masdevallia reginae (Ecuador)

Crown of Consciousness

Add to Shopping Cart

A complete experience of the entire crown chakra. THIS IS A BIG ESSENCE. This essence wishes to welcome you home to the Hall of Records, a space within, where you might find the Living Word of God, the Wisdom of Creation. Surrender to the Beyond that is within and without. Patience. Learn adaptability in approaching the Heart of Mystery, the Light of Consciousness, the Shrine of Shrines

Combos: Shiva's Crown

Bulbophyllum eberhardtii

Crown of Serenity

Add to Shopping Cart

Calming, and clarifying of one's Intention. This essence invites one in to a high inner alignment of one's energies. Eases tensions held in the 8th chakra, freeing mental energies for more focused attention. This essence will be of greatest benefit to those who have already worked with a number of the other orchid essences in the range, as it builds energetically upon the foundations they have helped to create.

A significant impact is felt initially in sleep after taking this essence, with tensions eased by the deeper dream-state and the dreamless sleep which Crown of Serenity helps bring about. On a practical level this essence will be a useful aid to studying. At its more profound level it is assisting us with our spiritual evolution, shifting the energetic forms of the subtle body to enable higher energies to be incarnate.

Pleurothallis phalangifera

Defender from the Dark

Add to Shopping Cart

In response to a perceived global energetic challenge, this orchid called out to be made into an essence in early October 2010. The second part of the botanical name Pleurothallis phalangifera translates as "phalanx-bearing" meaning the orchid spike looks like it is carrying a small phalanx of soldiers. A dream-time image which came to Don repeatedly one night about this essence was of hundreds of elves with their bows on their shoulders, marshalling their forces, preparing for battle. And indeed the orchid looks reminiscent of that Tolkien-like image. There is a sense with this orchid that, while it knows the dark, it is not of the dark. Embodying deep goodness of being, it is nevertheless not naive about the threat posed at times by dark forces. There is an old adage in American football, that the "best defense is a good offense"; this essence provides both clearing of and protection from high levels of dark energies through its determined opposition to their intentions.

An exceptional aspect of this essence is the fact that immediately upon making, it made clear to us that it wanted to be combined with several other essences. Rather than the one-size-fits-all approach, this essence wanted a mini-series of Defender combinations to come into being, to enable people to fine-tune the best type of protection they or a client might need.

Combos: Celestial Defender, Defend and Protect, Defender of the Light, Defender of the Source, Defend Protect & Purify,Shadow Defense, Soul Shield+, Vital Defense

Paphiopedilum liemianum (Java)

Direct Vision

Add to Shopping Cart

Potentially a powerful experience of the 3rd eye, so can be useful for vision quests. This is the same orchid that made the essence New Vitality, but six months earlier when the blooms were in full alignment of direction, giving an intensity of energy to this essence. Use with care. Useful for meditation practices.

 

Emerald

Add to Shopping Cart

This emerald gemstone began a new area of essence-making for us. While a few of the orchid essences have been made with gemstones accompanying the orchid, we had nevertheless never made a gemstone essence by itself. But this emerald had such clear and wonderful energy that we decided in this instance it would be appropriate.

Awakening, brightening, and clarifying of the mind. Opens one to higher energies & clears the brow & crown chakras. Stimulates the mind & develops discernment. Awakens yet also calms the heart chakra. Harmony and mental awareness are fostered by this essence.

Scaphosepalum anchoriferum

Eye of the Tiger

Add to Shopping Cart

Strongly energising and yang, this essence is likely to be experienced in one of two ways. It will either bring strength and almost fierce focus to the solar plexus and heart chakras, as well as the ajana centre; or will be experienced as bringing joy and optimism. In either case it brings a strength of heart and a renewal of purpose to one’s day.

Eye of the Tiger motivates one to confront hidden issues of the central body chakras, as well as confronting the same challenges externally. Its action then moves into the higher chakra domain.

Masdevallia ignea (Peru/Ecuador)

Fire of Life

Add to Shopping Cart

The Fire of Life is the masculine complement to Furnace of Life. Its yang energy helps the highest of universal energies to incarnate into consciousness, and sets this energy flowing into the centre of one's being.

Fire of Life gives courage and purpose to the journey of the soul. It is the Yang energy to the yin energy of Furnace of Life. In observing the bloom of this orchid, it is remarkable how attractive it is to those who feel oppressed, suppressed or unable to express themselves.

Fire of Life will breathe new life into the (dwindling) flames of the Ming Men point, thereby strengthening the will of the individual to make choices more in line with highest universal intentions, providing a revitalised opportunity to fulfil ones deepest spiritual destiny.

Dendrobium alexandrae

Fruits of Love

Add to Shopping Cart

This orchid has an unusual characteristic when the bud is developing. The buds seem to become fully grown, but then remain closed for several weeks, before finally opening. There is an air of expectancy, akin to that of a pregnant woman. The blooms open facing the earth, offering a gentle and exquisite fragrance. Dendrobium alexandrae grows in the highest branches in lowland forest in Papua New Guinea, often exposed to much more sunlight than most orchids would tolerate.

The essence has a strong impact on the root and sacral (2nd) chakras, as well as the heart chakra; there is also a reach into the Crown chakra and above. It is an essence of conception, and of nurturing the state of pregnancy, as well as overlighting the birth process. It acts in complimentary ways to the action of Purity of Soul in helping to clear further energetic pathways in the 2nd chakra relating to birth. It is also about bringing in our highest light, found in the top branches of our soul, so that we may fully incarnate our highest potential.

Combos: Fruits of Courage

Masdevallia veitchiana (Peru/Ecuador)

Furnace of Life

Add to Shopping Cart

In Chinese Medicine there is a point situated between the Kidneys called Ming Men (translated as 'The Gate of Destiny'). This key point is the major 'gateway' for the infusion of all physiological dualities in a way that supports life and fuels the process of evolution.

If we fail to accept life as an opportunity to cultivate virtue, or attribute disempowering meanings to challenging or painful circumstances, then the fires of Ming Men will be severely diminished and life will be governed not by highest universal intentions, but by self generated belief systems.

This smothering of the Ming Men point leads to further polarised dualities within one's subtle energy system, which in turn will create further painful challenges within the body and psyche. Furnace of Life helps to clear the mist from the lens of perception of the observer, enabling the truth of any given situation to reveal itself effortlessly.

Furnace of Life is the female principle, the intention of which is to incarnate our own divine light into consciousness, and to enable us to feel our cosmic purpose. For those whose feminine aspect has been threatened or suppressed, it is best to take Necklace of Beauty first for a few days. Then Furnace of Life will far more readily be able to enter one's chakra system.

24 Karat Gold

Add to Shopping Cart

Gold symbolises the purity of the spiritual aspect of all that is. It represents communion with the source of all being; its energy prompts one to allow beauty to come forth from our inner being, as we travel our inner path.

This essence was made with 24 karat gold formed into the ancient Egyptian symbol of Life called the Ankh. The male, female and divine are one within this form. Balancing our energy fields, this essence has a strong affinity with the Heart chakra.

Drops of this essence have been added as an enhancer to a number of the orchid essences.

Phragmipedium St. Ouen

Golden Radiance

Add to Shopping Cart

To bring one into awareness of the radiance of one's Inner Light, the "Ground of Being." Golden Radiance honours the spiritual path above all else. This essence opens the throat chakra and connects to a source of inner wisdom which appears as golden light within the inner chamber of the heart chakra. When the inner chamber opens, its "light" can ascend into the throat chakra. Fundamentally not a remedy, but rather an essence for developing a spiritual perspective of everyday life. Probably our most universal essence.

 

Paphiopedilum Helvetia

Guardian of the Inner Journey

Add to Shopping Cart

Brings the courage to look at the shadows and fears that inhibit one’s progress on one’s spiritual journey. A deeply serious essence, take it to enhance one’s meditation practice. Paired energetically with Walking to the Earth’s Rhythm, which is best taken at the end of meditating with Paph. Helvetia.

 

Bulbophyllum lobbii

(S.E. Asia)

Hara to Heart

Add to Shopping Cart

Very good for people who are reluctant to incarnate. This essence brings energy down to the 2nd chakra (Hara), then up through the solar plexus and into the heart chakra. Helps eliminate conflicting emotions. Helps one to be incarnate with a sense of purpose. This essence infuses the halo with a diamond-like appearance, indicating higher chakra activity. NB: Take this essence 2 or 3 times within a 10-minute period for best effect and wait for one to three days before repeating or use it as a one off.

Healing the Higher Heart

Add to Shopping Cart

The one orchid produced two forms, two essences: one by itself (Spirit of the Higher Heart) and this one, which has essence of 24 karat gold added, which enhances the orchid’s energetic action. The higher heart chakra is a light turquoise color and is responsible for releasing the heart chakra from emotional blocks (either karmic or current). This essence centers itself in the spiritual chamber of the heart and sends it roots into the 3rd & root chakras. It then enters and heals the higher heart chakra .

 

Phragmipedium Grouville

Heart of Light

Add to Shopping Cart

Heart of Light provides a liberating feeling as it launches our emotional body out of old patterns of defensiveness into Universal Connectedness to be experienced an on-going pattern of endless flow. Rapidly releases emotional armouring of the heart, expanding the chest, allowing the heart chakra to extend back and re-connect to the central axis of the aura. The 12th chakra then awakens our memory of our unique spiritual inception into the Time/Space continuum. The 15th chakra opens as well to the residence of "Universal Order," the home of sacred geometry.

 

Brassia Rex

Heaven's Gate

Add to Shopping Cart

Protects & enables the communion of Love, as we journey to find the gates to the mystic castle within. The only essence in the range to act in all 6 primary categories (see the “higher alignment” star): physical; sexual; heart; mental; protective; and spiritual. When mastery of each area is achieved, the inner temple is complete, and our soul moves in Love towards our ultimate spiritual union.

Combos: Sympathetic, and Sympathetic (P)

Bulbophyllum saltatorium

Hive of Heaven

Add to Shopping Cart

The blooms of this very small orchid Bulbophyllum saltatorium from central Africa resemble bees getting into a hive. This is a decidedly yang essence, the action of which begins in the head, as light enters and expands into different areas of the brain, expanding and clearing as they move. It then goes down the neck (bypassing the throat chakra) extending into the chest cavity and the heart chakra, clearing both somewhat like the action of a bottle brush. The heart chakra opens with a sense of renewal. This can also bring a sense of heart-felt longing, as the essence then moves further down, to the 1st and 2nd chakras. The libido is stirred awake, connecting inextricably with the heart's longing.

Combo: Sympathetic (P)

Dendrobium eximium

Inner Peace

Add to Shopping Cart

Prepares one to experience true peace, as known by those who have reached the highest levels of their spiritual journey. "That Peace which surpasses all Understanding." This orchid's extraordinary gift to us can be seen as a new energetic constellation, which is perhaps the ultimate gift of the orchids.

Bulbophyllum echinolabium (Borneo)

Internal Cleansing

Add to Shopping Cart

This essence is all about the internal cleansing of the body. Working away without fanfare, it helps to clear up our etheric body's 'residuals' - little packets of leftovers. Acts on the energetic pathways of the throat, stomach, large intestines and liver, assisting with detoxification. We used to use cobalt blue bottles, and when that was the case, we wrapped this in foil. Now that we use the Miron glass, which is about 10x more protective than the cobalt blue glass, the foil is no longer needed for Internal Cleansing.

 

Jumellea major (Madagascar)

Joyous Purification

Add to Shopping Cart

Purifying the root chakra for both men and women. For men it can initiate them into the feminine understanding of purity and innocence. Whereas we often think of purification as a painful or arduous process, the action of this essence results in an experience of joy. For women it will help with certain sexual abuse issues by re-establishing the natural innocence of the root chakra in a natural rise of white etheric light. This light moves very efficiently and effectively, allowing one to work therapeutically with the issues that have been held subconsciously in the root chakra.

In dark times it may well be prudent to cloak one's light to enable one to carry the knowledge of inner truth without risk of drawing the attention of negative forces. This essence provides protection to help one to remain concealed from those who may threaten, bringing a sense of both invisibility and invincibility

Kuan Yin Fluorite

Add to Shopping Cart

Acts from the 3rd chakra up through the heart and head, and further up as high as the 21st chakra. It is cleansing, revitalising and helps to balance the male and female energies. This essence has the healing characteristics of fluorite, but also the compassion and connection with the Divine feminine as invoked by Kuan Yin.

This carving has sat near the orchid essences for many years, but only recently was called upon to make an essence, as this truly exquisite energy of Kuan Yin was needed to complete the essence Vital Light.

This essence is very playful, very forgiving, a large belly laugh from the happy Buddha. Leave your troubles behind, effortlessly and smoothly swirling away. Excellent for anyone who is prone to take themselves too seriously or for those who feel emotionally stuck. Laughing butterflies enters into the solar plexus like two people dancing together in perfect harmony. Think of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire spiralling across the floor in each other's arms. Affects the brow and throat chakras, as well as the eyes.

Liberation/Deception

Add to Shopping Cart

How do we fool ourselves by projecting what we desire and not truly need? When is the "light" just a diversion? What is true liberation? Even on the inner path, how can we fool ourselves in the quest for freedom? Where do we find the Buddha sitting? This essence operates at two main levels. At the more obvious level, it provides endurance and 'upward' strength, as well as helping to cleanse, strengthen and protect the aura. It would help with any new venture as well. At a more inward or subtle level, this essence is about both recognising and accepting inner beauty, as well as developing the discernment needed to discover the ways in which we deceive ourselves in the name of liberation.

Picture the drawing of a bowstring to establish the direction of an arrow's flight. So it is in our lives that our goals and our life’s direction is best achieved by stepping back deeply within ourselves. The hand pulls back and we make contact with the centre of the chest, the heart. Being centered in this way guarantees our best shot. Activates the heart and throat chakras. Works well with the Dancing Light Orchid Essence, "Purpose Flows."

Light of My Eye

Add to Shopping Cart

Frog looks up to the stars and Great Spirit replies showering light from the heavens. Frogs are literally able to see starlight and register this light one photon at a time on the retina. In a similar fashion, this essence wants to help us 'see beyond the veil.' Helps bring light into one's eyes even in dark times, such as in winter. In native cultures the eagle represents the power of, Great Spirit. It is swift and sure in its flight and the model of spiritual power. Full of starlight, froggy jumps off of his pad and plunges into life and the world of water. This essence was made in participation with our friend David Carson and his daughter Greta. David is Native American and co-author of the Animal Medicine Cards.

Once the heart has learned the lesson of the essence Unconditional Love, it is then ready to open itself to an exquisitely high vibration of Love. What is sought by most people in churches, temples and mosques is a direct connection of the heart with the Divine. This essence enables that connection, if one can give the time in the bustle of our lives to meditate deeply upon its gift.

Neomoorea irrorata

Love's Secret

Add to Shopping Cart

Love's Secret is an essence derived from an orchid that is the sole specie of a monotypic genus, which means there is no orchid like this one. Such genera are generally reckoned to be remnants of a larger genus that was (nearly) killed off via various geological & meteorological events. As such this is likely to be a very ancient 'being', which is indeed what Don heard about this orchid in the night after the essence was made. It is from the lowland forests of Panama and Colombia. The orchid has a pungent smell akin to a female in sexual 'heat'.

We gain many subtle and not so subtle energetic imprints during our 9 months in the womb, and Moon Child appears to be able to help remove those imprints which hinder our health and well-being, and our spiritual journey.

Bulbophyllum longiflorum (Borneo)

Necklace of Beauty

Add to Shopping Cart

Necklace of Beauty essence has been made with a beautiful orchid from SE Asia called Bulbophyllum longiflorum (also called Cirrhopetalum longiflorum, or Cirrhopetalum umbellatum*; this particular form is found in Borneo). Necklace of Beauty brings an exquisite, beautiful and loving energy to the area above the higher heart chakra but below the throat chakra, enabling one to feel uplifted, loved and at peace. This essence honours one's inner beauty, and the light of one's true being.

This essence also prepares one for further important steps of one's inner journey, by enabling the ego or shadow side to relinquish its hold in one, so the soul can continue its journey into light. Necklace of Beauty appears to 'open the gate' for one to experience more fully the high consciousness of the new combination Spirit of Life (or its two components Fire of Life and Furnace of Life).

* There are differences of opinion regarding the correct nomenclature in the orchid-growing world. 'Cirrhopetalum' is a name for either a section of the Bulbophyllum genus, or a genus in its own right, depending on one's point of view.

The plant from which this essence was made very clearly indicates its gift of stamina in that the blooms come in succession on each 'spike', and each given spike of the plant can be in bloom for a year or more. Provides vitality under circumstances of long-standing tiredness and exhaustion. This essence can give an energy boost to see one through these difficult periods.

A powerful essence to help in the darkest of times, or to help heal from the darkest experiences of the soul. When one experiences inner or outer devastation, deep imprints are left at profound levels of the psyche. Night Soul is a commanding spirit, healing these deep wounds to help make one whole again. Remember that you are the captain of your soul, no matter the challenges that experience in this world may bring.

Phantom Quartz

Add to Shopping Cart

Quartz is a master healer (as is Gold) and can be used for any condition. It is very good for use in meditation and enhances our inner being. It also clarifies and stimulates the thinking process and so is helpful if we are feeling stagnant.

A phantom quartz contains within it a structure formed over eons in earlier times. Each such quartz has its own character, and this one we have used is a dream catcher. Especially via the dream state, this essence will help one gain a perspective on the past, as an aid to seeing the way forward.

Protective Presence

Add to Shopping Cart

This essence is good for people who are travelling to places where personal safety is challenged. Useful in times of major change (such as moving house or career changes) to provide continuity and protection. It helps one to re-connect with inner strength. This orchid bears a resemblance to the protective "wrathful deities" of Tibetan Buddhism with the sense that a spiritual presence says "I go before you." Can aid in discovering that actual protection comes from realising the true nature of Being, which we find deep within.

 Bulbophyllum tingabarinum

Pure Innocence

This essence embodies a profound consciousness of primordial innocence. In the soul's long journey, the grace of this innocence is akin to a link back to our ultimate Source, and is also a quality of being which is easily lost. It utimately is the ground from which Joy can flow, as well as the basis of all ethics. Without this quality of mind and heart, the path becomes one of travail. The gift of this essence is astonishing, and indeed we regard it now as the energetic keystone of the entire range of the LTOE. Pure Innocence is properly seen as a 'restorative' essence, in that it helps restore to both the heart and mind this quality it once knew, but which the realm of experience tends to cause us to lose.

In practical terms it helps with addictive behaviour and other situations that cause pain. It enables the easy letting go of these negative habits. We need the courage to acknowledge, and then take note of these patterns of behaviour, to then be free of them. Pure Innocence enables the return of joy, and allows the soul to open up to new possibilities, as one's connection to Source is recollected.

Purity of Heart

Useful for the stress of feeling there is not enough time. Like the slow, clear, well-spaced tones of a sitar, this essence conveys the understanding that there is "enough time to do anything". Epitomises the Kaffa type of the Indian Ayurvedic system, which is slow and unhurried, never compelled to rush. Brings white light to the upper heart chakra, the brow and sacral chakras and into the blood.

Purity of Soul acts like a gentle yet profoundly purifying rain for the soul, an ablution to cleanse us of the negative accumulated baggage of the ego. Helps clear negative ancestral patterns held subconsciously in the psyche. This essence is lovely, calming, gently grounding and quietening; it brings an attentive yet deep stillness of mind. Good to take before meditation, or prayer, or before any sacred ceremony; it would be especially appropriate to take before the wedding ceremony.

The essence has a gentle dreamlike quality, yet also a firmness of purpose. One feels a call for atonement, and an awakening of a lost understanding of spiritual realms which have been forgotten.

Pushing Back the Night

Add to Shopping Cart

Produces a state of mind where vision and light become inseparable. Helps elevate our thoughts to the point where we can see the Sacred in life. An essence to help heal the destiny of humanity. Not only does it aid our own personal growth, but also invites the Light of the Future to Take Back the Night. Blockages in the bahui centre, the Chinese Crown Chakra point, (on the top of the head) are pushed out of the auricle field; and in doing so, this enables us to extend an awareness vertically into a temple within a celestial domain. In this way the microcosm affects the macrocosm. In this time when many negative karmas are being released upon the world, this essence is especially important for helping people not be distracted from a spiritual purpose and light.

Redemption Dream

Add to Shopping Cart

Redemption Dream helps the psyche to address deep layers of guilt or shame, through bringing a shift to our dreams, enabling the mind to either consciously or unconsciously to resolve these issues. Guilt and shame are likely to cause a kind of compression (or suppression) of the heart chakra, particularly by means of blocking the higher heart chakra's ability to cleanse and heal the heart chakra. Through this blocking of the heart's energy, we lose the ability to love unconditionally, and thereby also lose inner peace. In this way one can see how guilt or shame can be major hindrances of our spiritual path. Redemption Dream helps us to remove these hindrances of the heart, specifically through vivifying and re-integrating our dreams at night, to allow ancient and deeply held issues to be aired as it were in the Theatre of the Psyche. In general, most people will benefit from taking Redemption Dream in the days before taking Necklace of Beauty; or at the very least, the exquisite energy of the latter will be more readily accessed and fully felt if Redemption Dream has been worked with first.

Releases karmic patterns that are held in the eighth chakra. The eighth chakra indicates how spiritual knowledge and power have been misused in the past. This essence can make us feel like we are spiralling out into the cosmos, thus it can feel intimidating due to the feeling of being taken up and away. Helps free up rigid belief patterns or merely parroted ideas held in the eighth chakra. Helps up use and choose words wisely when we speak.

A very gentle, quiet essence, yet profound in its ability to reach many levels at once. Clears ancient negative energetic patterns at the cellular level via the 1st, 8th, 10th and 12th chakras, renewing one's inherent health. The root chakra governs cellular patterning and when combined with the higher chakra action of the 10th chakra (the Source of White Light) and the 12th chakra (the wholeness of the universe), it makes this essence a strong candidate for healing at that level. Very helpful when added to skin creams.

Rising to the Call of Beauty

Add to Shopping Cart

This essence is about aligning and identifying with beauty. As modern societies have distanced themselves from natural beauty and inner beauty, dissonance, distortion and self-degradation have followed. This has influenced us in ways that distract us from the simple beauty in nature and in ourselves. What are the innate properties of beauty? Proportion, integrity, harmony, and respect for the forces and mathematical dimensions found in sacred geometry. When beauty is a guide, the results of our actions naturally and harmoniously follow Universal Principles. Beauty's strength will banish evil and ugliness from her presence. Helpful in relieving shoulder tension at the end of a working day.

From here a vision arises, the embodiment of serenity and silence which activates the chakras in the head, and then directly awakens the 11th chakra. This transcendental chakra offers us the perception based on compassion and wisdom that honours "self as other and others as self" and that "life is essentially a mirror of our own thoughts and actions."

An extraordinary orchid, this essence was brought into being to assist the integration of one’s shadow side with the onward journey of the soul into the light. It stops the shadow from interacting negatively with challenging archetypes, and enables grounding of primitive fears. Enters the base of the skull and goes down the causal body to the root chakra and below, connecting the soul to the root of the soul's journey. This essence clears one’s inner vision causing a change in perception, a deeper reality, and enhances clairaudience. Shadow Warrior is a very ‘yang’ essence, and the effect is sustained with a minimum dose.

Shungite - mother

Add to Shopping Cart

Shungite is an extraordinary mineral, found in only a few locations; the first being the Russian village of Shunga.  It is about 98% carbon, and includes some carbon “fullerenes” in its structure. It is said to be very helpful in relation to EMF radiation, and we have now added it to the Energy Matrix Protection formula.

Its characteristic is to open up the deeper levels of the shadow and also acts as a very strong enhancer to homoeopathic remedies and essences. It is frequently used with Amethyst to improve the clarity of the opening in a pure fashion (see Clarifying the Shadow on the Combinations page; shungite and amethyst were made together in the same bowl so the combination is also mother tincture).

Shungite is the stone for those who wish to feel more balance in their masculine and feminine energies, in case one is overcompensating for the other. It can ground your energy and help keep it focused towards your goal, so that your energy doesn’t go ‘astray’. Amongst other effects, it has a dramatic impact of improving one’s sleep, despite not being at all soporific. (In fact it brings mental clarity and vibrancy, I would say.) It seems to help the body to sleep as though we are not surrounded and bombarded by EMF these days. No essence we have has helped my sleep to this degree.

Sorcerer's Apprentice

Add to Shopping Cart

Acts in part as an emotional & energetic spam filter, enabling one to disregard some of the myriad demands on one's attention, to create a self-protective space around one, through which the choice of energetic entries is under direct control. Sorcerer's Apprentice also acts as an energy regulator, to help adjust the body's energy reserves so that we avoid becoming drained.

This essence was originally made by Don about 14 years ago, in his first year of essence-making. It never became a part of the LTOE range, as he gave the mother tincture to Shabd-Sangeet Khalsa, and she then sold it under the name "Sacred Sphere" as part of her Dancing Light Orchid Essences range. Don has always felt a special connection with this phragmipedium hybrid, and this summer one of two fine plants in the greenhouse called out to make an essence again.

Soul's Grief Release

Add 15ml to Shopping Cart

Add 5ml to Shopping Cart

MOTHER TINCTURE both sizes

This is a profound and very significant essence to heal and release deeply-held sorrow of the soul. Many people carry a sense of abiding sadness in their heart through their lives, a sorrow that has no clear source. This is sorrow that has most likely accumulated over many lifetimes, and is difficult to release. It can carry in itself a sense that this sadness is the hidden reality of the soul and of Being in general. If someone holds this deep sorrow, then Soul's Grief Release will first bring that sadness to be far more fully present for some hours, or even a day or two. Gradually the sorrow is dissolved and released, and as the days pass the heart opens to a new possibility, a deeper reality in which it may be open to receive the joy of Angelic song.

Please note that we are now only selling this as undiluted mother tincture, due to the fact that at stock strength the action of this essence stretches out over several days. Taken as mother tincture, the healing is basically achieved within 30 minutes or so. Take the drops orally and sit quietly with your eyes closed for at least 20 minutes. Repeat just once, a few days later. Then please share the bottle with a friend. A 15ml bottle contains enough mother tincture to help at least 15 people.

It should be noted by contrast that Healing the Higher Heart and Spirit of the Higher Heart are essences that help to heal grief brought on by known causes, e.g., the death or loss of a loved one.

Cochlioda beyrodtiana

Source of Life

Add to Shopping Cart

Made February 2010, this had a very interesting genesis. Adrian had been hoping we would find the final energetic elements for his Therapeutic Energy Kinesiology kit when I made Base Regulator in early February, but wonderful as Base Regulator is, there was a need for a further orchid essence to be made to create the necessary energetic composition. Walking into the greenhouse, Adrian felt this delightful and delicate species from Peru calling out to him. We brought the orchid out of the greenhouse, and set it up in a room in the house, with the bowl of water placed under the blooms.

It is best to take this essence in the morning, as it has a strong awakening quality. This is not to say it is at all like coffee! The effect is more subtle, and comes about slowly. A gentle yet insistent alertness persisted with both of us for many hours that night after we had sipped the mother tincture. The most noticeable, even palpable effect of sipping the mother tincture was what felt like a fine and cool spray starting from area of the perinium, felt very clearly for several inches down the insides of the thighs. Adrian was delighted, as he could sense that this essence completed the search he had been on for his TEK kit. When combined with Base Regulator and one other essence, it created a powerful composition we have called Sacral Regulator.

Adrian in his notes said: the essence is unique in being the only orchid essence which has an obvious selective target of the sexual aspect of the Dan Tien point and part of the 2nd chakra. It seems to enhance the sensitivity of the skin on the inside of the thighs' "sex skin". It realigns the energy systems in the pelvis, it rejuvenates the feeling of being alive in the pelvis, and 're-lights' the sexual centres to be aware of the deeper nature of ones sexuality.

Spectrolite

Spectrolite radiates a predominantly blue crystal energy that stimulates the Throat Chakra, the voice of the body. It is, in essence, a pressure valve that allows the energy from the other chakras to be expressed. If it is blocked, or out of balance, it can affect the health of the other chakras. When the throat chakra is in balance and open, it allows for the expression of what we think and what we feel. We can communicate our ideas, beliefs, and emotions, bringing our personal truth out into the world.

This essence is the same as that of Healing the Higher Heart, but without the essence of Gold. Spirit of the Higher Heart enables a gentle fusion of the energy of the higher heart chakra with the spiritual chamber of the heart.

True Connections

Add to Shopping Cart

This is a unique essence. It was made with three different but closely related orchids, each set up with its own bowl of water, and with the bowls forming an equilateral triangle. These orchid hybrids are all part of the Zygopetalum group: Zygonisia Blue Angel; Zygolum Louisendorf 'Rhein Moonlight'; and Zygolum Rhein Harlequin. It is neither a single essence nor a combination in the traditional sense, as the 3 distinct essences were all blended in a 4th bowl as soon as they were finished. This particular manner of the making of True Connections has given it some very unusual and extraordinary properties.

Crown of Serenity creates the energetic foundation needed to fully benefit from True Connections, and also Celestial Triangle builds upon that structure further. As we build the vitality of the higher chakras (the ones above the head) there are also further refinements and interconnections which are able to form or be brought into activity. True Connections has little impact in the body, reserving its action for the higher chakras. In so doing it helps us to connection to the "spiritual internet" of humanity, that area wherein we are all able to connect with one another at whatever distance we may be. This is not some airy-fairy notion. True Connections helps one to link with those people whom we need to connect with at this point, regardless of time and space. It enables us to know that there is a greater connection in humanity than we have been prepared to admit, and that at a higher spiritual level we are all a part of the greater universal consciousness of all beings.

There is a yearning in the soul to re-connect with our ultimate source, with Being which is beyond our understanding. A key step on that journey towards what some call the Divine, is to drop any pattern we may have of only conditionally opening our hearts to others. This essence helps us to dissolve the defensive emotional barriers we have constructed, and invites the heart to be open with love unconditionally. Only when the heart has re-learnt this way of being, are we then able to move forward on the next step, which is described with the essence Love’s Gift.

Phragmipedium besseae

Vital Core

Add to Shopping Cart

Vital Core is strongly energizing of the Root and 2nd chakras, as well as the gall bladder meridian. While having some activity on the Crown, Throat and Heart chakras, its action is primarily in the two lower chakras whereby it provides a strong 'get up & go' effect. The effect on the 2nd chakra is intriguing: though energizing, it is not a sexual energizing. It helps to release stored / blocked energies, including stored negative energies, and thereby helps to resolve shadow aspects of the Sacral chakra. In this way, it seeks to restore the natural sacredness of the 2nd chakra.

Vital Core works at levels beyond that of Sacral Release; it can be a good idea to work with the latter first, and then to follow up with some days of Vital Core. In some respects Vital Core can be seen and used as a potent yang counterpoint to the yin qualities of Celestial Siren, which was made the same week in November 2009.

Phragmipedium besseae is a species of slipper orchid which was discovered in Peru in 1981. In our process of making this essence, the orchid requested to have the process take place largely in the evening and into the dark of the night. A full moon on that clear night shone through the partially curtained window, its beam upon the orchid and the bowl of water. This not only brought out the yang qualities of the orchid, but also enabled it to better access the shadow aspects of our lower chakras. (This also accounts for Vital Core having some very different qualities to the essence Radiant Strength of the Dancing Light Orchid Essences of the USA, which was made with the same species of slipper orchid.)

A major essence for healing deep levels of the solar plexus (3rd chakra), as well as energizing the throat chakra.

The solar plexus is likely to take many 'hits' in the course of our life, and these minor and major impacts on the 3rd chakra can often remain buried deep within. Voice of Courage brings healing to the solar plexus at these deep levels, and by so doing, and despite being a very 'yang' essence, it also helps one's sleep to be deeper and longer. Made on the 4th/5th of July 2010, we will have more to say by way of its action in due course.

Winged Messenger

Add to Shopping Cart

A very good essence to help you manifest your goals, and which brings joy to the heart yet is also grounding. Helps you to be awake and in the present moment with a sense of cheer and lightness. This essence wants you to straighten the spine, and not slouch, thus enabling the heart to be both strong and open. Feel the delight and excitement that you felt as a child once more, despite the trials and troubles the years may have brought your way. Having faced the challenges life brings, let us not be weighed down by their memory. Slip on these fairy-shoes, and step out with assurance into a brand new day, on to a path which is either new or at least renewed.

To some degree this essence presents a type of ‘litmus test’, relating to our inner journey and its expression in life. If we are on our deeper spiritual path, and living in accordance with that, one will feel joy when taking this essence. If there is any lack of harmony between the path and its outer manifestation, then the emotional response will be subdued, as the orchid helps one to realign within.

Bulbophyllum frostii is a specie found at about 1400 meters in evergreen forests in Vietnam, and was first described in 1926. It grows in the warm section of our greenhouse.

This orchid called out gently and clearly for an essence to be made, with its message of compassion for all beings. Made on the full moon anniversary of the Buddha's enlightenment. The need for this energy is fully apparent in the world at this time. The path of this essence may follow this sequence: It enters the ajana centre, a small but intense point between the brows, a major point of spiritual manifestation. then it begins encircling the head with a protective energy to finally enter the crown chakra. Once the "palace" of the crown is secure, this particular essence enters the heart chakra, evoking the Light of a Golden Lotus in full bloom. In meditation this essence is able to reach deeply into the portal of the heart chakra. Its transformative effect brings to the heart feelings of joy and eternal optimism, and compassion for all beings.

Follow up after a few weeks with the non-gold form of Wisdom of Compassion.

For therapists, it can be useful to know that Wisdom of Compassion (without the gold essence added) acts primarily on the Heart chakra, Inner Chamber of the Heart Chakra, and the Crown Chakra.

Wisdom of Compassion with Gold acts primarily on the Heart Chakra, the Ajana Centre between the eyebrows, and the Dreamtime Point at the back of the head.
