What are Essence Baths:
Essence Blends help to heighten our personal vibration and allow Light to enter our cells. They encourage healing and wholeness through gentleness and awareness. By being aware of what is creating difficulties or challenges, we can choose a bath blend that has been created to address, support and assist us through these various challenges. Essence baths are not the same as essential oils or aromatherapy; they work on energetic and vibrational levels. They work differently with different people – for some people who are beginning they may work better when you work with them daily for 3 days or longer until you can feel a shift . Soaking in the bath allows time to absorb and receive the Blessings available but over the years I have found that while some people like to have big write – ups that they can read and work with the energy in the bath for several days others will shower daily with the same blend and others who work with only the energy use a different blend each day depending on what they feel they need. Many people use them in the hair as well. No hard fast rules except to tune in and find the way that they will serve you in the highest way.
The Alchemy of the Essence Blends:
Creating blends is not a process that can be pushed; however, if the need for a new blend is great, it cannot be stopped. The greatest challenge for me in this work has been, wanting to control the outcome and the experience for others. I discovered a way to work with the essences amidst a lot of personal crisis with the major focus of my work to assist people through their challenges and wanting them to experience immediate relief, bliss, and “ah-ha” moments… And while it is great when this happens, it isn’t necessarily how it always works…
The truth is, different people will respond to different vibrations at different times, and the key to having the best results with a blend is to have some kind of idea about what it is you are working on, or what it is you feel you want to get out of it. Many of the people using these products are aware of energy, some see it and others feel it. Others will make a connection through the written descriptions on the art cards. Then there are those who don’t really want to know anything except that it will make them feel better. Often times, someone will be drawn to how the bath feels but totally turned off by what I have written, or vice versa. The interesting part of this journey is that I will often think that a particular blend is made for one thing and someone may feel really drawn to it when none of what it was originally made for is apparent. Knowing how your intuition works will help here. Those who feel that one is right and don’t relate to what is written have reported back many times that it has really helped, and after that happens a few times they seldom question that feeling, they learn to trust it.
Many elements come together to create each essence blend. The journey begins in response to a personal issue or a request from a client, often in times of distress and crisis. Interestingly, these individual’s issues often reflect global issues as well.
When someone is in crisis I usually recommend a blend like Dove Song, Angel of Grace, Relaxation, Tread Softly…Something to calm and nurture.
However, the type of crisis and how you handle crisis would depend on the blend that would work best for you and you could very well end up with something like Butterflies, Gardens, and Frogs blend to ease stress in transition, or Egyptian Goddess for assertion and movement. I have learned to trust the work and it’s unfolding; yet, I am very aware of the challenge of describing its potential, for it seems that in many ways the entire process is so much greater than can be captured by my words.
