It's Scorpio Season: An Inside Look at Astrology & Essences

Brandy Oswald1 comment

scorpio flower essencesIt’s Scorpio season, which means it is a time of passion, intuition, and mystery. Our Scorpio friends, born approximately October 23 to November 22, are one of the three emotional, sensitive, intuitive water signs. Their passionate nature fosters both creativity and romance, while their intuitive personality makes them seem almost psychic in nature.

Though Scorpio is adaptable and known to embrace transformation and change, their passionate and intuitive nature can transform into obsession, jealousy, and resentfulness.

For both the highs and the lows, the good and the bad, there are flower and gemstone essences that are perfect for Scorpio. Every vibrational essence uniquely addresses particular emotional states or tendencies. It is for this reason that essences pair so well with the astrological world. Essences harness the relationship between the frequencies of the human body (emotions, thoughts, and spirit) and the frequencies, or vibrational energy, of the natural world. Similarly, astrology explores the relationship between the frequencies in our bodies and the frequencies of the planets. While it might seem that essences and astrology are unrelated, they both address the energetic relationship between nature and the human body. For this reason, vibrational essences offer powerful support for each of the zodiac signs.

Scorpio, let’s raise your frequency and get you vibrating at an all-time high!

Flower Essences - Where they come from & how they work

Brandy Oswald2 comments

 

making flower essence

New to the world of flower essences? Today, we’re answering the two most frequently asked questions from flower essence beginners. You’re not alone if you’ve been wondering Where the heck did flower essences come from. In our fast-paced world, it seems as though new health fads are constantly surfacing. The good news is that flower essences aren’t one of them.

In this post we’ll explore the ancient roots of flower essences and their powerful, natural healing properties. Let’s dig in!


History of flower essences

 

With their high harmonic frequencies, flower essences support change, growth, and heightened spirituality. It is often assumed that flower essence healing is a fairly young, new age practice because of the momentum that it is gaining in the mainstream media as an innovative, new approach to healing. The truth is that flower essences, in some form or another, have been used for centuries. In fact, evidence exists that flower essences were used by the aborigines of Australia and Peru, as well as by Native Americans.

In the 16th century Swiss physician Paracelsus studied the essential qualities of life, which moved him to work with the healing power of flowers. It is said that he is the first to articulate the Doctrine of Signatures theory, introducing the notion that the external appearance of a plant provides clues to its healing properties. He even had his patients drink the dew from flowers in order to access these healing properties.

Flower essences saw a modern revival in the early 1900’s with the help of renowned flower essence practitioner Dr. Edward Bach. Dr. Bach was an English pathologist and bacteriologist who gave birth to the revival of the ancient knowledge of flower essences. Inspired by 18th century German physician Samuel Hahnemann and his homeopathic principles, Dr. Bach recognized that nature provides more gentle, effective healing than many medical practices. And so, Dr. Bach went on to prepare 38 flower essences that have come to be known as the Bach Flower Essences. (Editor’s Note - Star Essences has our own line of Golden Bach Flower Essences, inspired by the very essences created by Dr. Bach!)

How do flower essences work?

Flower essences are crafted by imprinting the unique energetic signature of a flower into pure, clean water. This imprinted water is known as the mother essence. Flowers are the highest expression of a plant’s development. They are the soul of the plant. When placed in water and infused with the energy of sunlight, the flowers are able to charge the water with their energetic imprint. Being that everything that exists has a frequency, whether high or low, flower essences, and their high frequency, are able to raise the energetic frequency of users. Flower essences shift lower frequencies to higher frequencies, allowing users to operate on a higher energetic plane.

 

There you have it - a brief history of the ancient practice of flower essence healing and the powerful ways that flower essences offer their healing properties. We hope this helps spark a lifelong love of flower essences!

The third eye point is said to facilitate connection to high realms, serving as an energetic gateway to other dimensions.

Basking in Autumn Aromas

There are few things more enjoyable that the comforting aromas of hot apple pie, spiced orange tea, and the gentle burn of pine. For many folks Fall is defined by mom’s apple pie, spiced tea in the morning, and the soothing scent of pine trees. While flower essences do not carry the scent of the flowers, they do carry the powerful energy of the flowers. This fall try coupling autumn aromas with the energetic power of flowers. Head outside, gather some pine needles and make a few pine smudges for a natural pine-scent indoors. Simultaneously use our Pine essence to access the self-acceptance and self-love powers of the pine tree, while basking in the soothing aroma of your very own pine smudge.


Bonfires

Embrace the heat of fall bonfires by adding the Red Sardonyx gemstone essence to your wellness routine, allowing you to stoke your physical fire and feed emotional warmth.


Design Awesome Halloween Costumes

Another incredibly fun, fall activity is to design halloween costumes for yourself and your family.

Heal Your Chakras with Gemstone Essences

Heal Your Chakras with Gemstone Essences

Chakras are energetic centers in the body. There are seven main chakras in the body and many more secondary chakras that make up our bodies and energy systems. The chakras assist in moving prana, or the life force energy, throughout the body. Keeping the chakras clear and free from blockages allow for this vital energy to flow freely throughout the body. As the chakras become blocked the body has a harder time moving this energy, resulting in stagnation, dis-ease, and ailments.

Oftentimes, we require a bit of assistance to keep our chakras open, clear, and best able to move prana throughout the body. There are many forms of chakra support including: meditation, pranayama (breathing exercises), yoga postures, essential oils, and more. Of course, our favorite way to keep the chakras open is through the use of gemstone essences.

Today we’re bringing you the inside scoop on our Chakra Gem Collection, featuring gemstone essences for each of the seven main chakras and a few other important chakras, as well.

Let’s bust through those blockages and return our chakras to their full, glorious potential!

 

The 7 Main Chakras

Root (Muladhara) Chakra - Ruby

Intensifies Life Force Energy

The root chakra, located at the base of the spine, serves as the energetic foundation of the body. It is from this chakra that we develop a sense of groundedness and security. When this chakra becomes blocked, issues surrounding money, financial independence, and food tend to arise.

Being that the color associated with the root chakra is the color red, it comes as no surprise that the Ruby gemstone essence is the essence used to address imbalances at the root chakra. Ruby allows us to open to the infinite source of divine love, raising the vibration of the physical body and promoting the courage to express our highest potential. Ruby promotes an open root chakra so that energy can move up and throughout the body.


Sacral (Svadhisthana) Chakra - Carnelian

Associated with creativity, the female reproductive system, and the prostate

The sacral chakra, located in the lower abdomen, relates to our ability to form connections and accept others and new experiences. When experiencing a blockage of the sacral chakra one often struggles with finding a sense of abundance, well-being, pleasure, sexuality, creativity, and accepting change.

The color associated with the sacral chakra is orange, making the carnelian gemstone perfect for a sacral chakra essence. Carnelian increases access to prana by clearing energy paths and promoting motivation and vitality. This gemstone essence stimulates and awakens creativity, while cultivating harmonious thoughts. In fact, orange carnelian enhances attunement with the inner self, further supporting abundance, well-being, sexuality, and embracing change.


Solar (Manipura) Plexus - Citrine

Clears and expands; Promotes healthy kidney and digestion

The solar plexus chakra, located in the upper abdomen, is related to self-confidence and a sense of control over one’s life. As you might have guessed, when this chakra is out-of-whack one often struggles with self-worth, self-confidence, and self-esteem.

With the power of the yellow citrine essence, we can clear old thought patterns that lead to a lack of self-confidence. This gemstone essence serves as a bridge to the divine. Citrine is useful for intellectual communication and balancing the rational mind. It resonates with sovereignty, courage, confidence, and self esteem. The sunlight it represents is uplifting and helps us to recognize beauty and joy.

 

Heart (Anahata) Chakra - Emerald

Love, understanding, compassion, forgiveness

The heart chakra, located at the center of the chest, is associated with our ability to love. It is also the center from which we are able to extend compassion and forgiveness. When experiencing a blockage of the heart chakra one can often expect to feel as though they are lacking love, joy, or inner peace.

If this is the case, reach for the emerald gemstone essence to re-activate the heart chakra and explore empathy, unconditional love, and the expansions of universal love energy. Emerald supports all forms of communication through the heart, as well as healing with love.


Throat (Visuddha)- Blue Sapphire

Associated with communication, authenticity, and the thyroid gland

The throat chakra, you guessed it - located at the throat, is linked to communication and self-expression. Blockages of the throat chakra hinder communication, self-expression, and honesty.

To embrace authenticity and speak your truth, harness the power of the blue sapphire gemstone essence. This essence opens and heals the throat chakra by addressing issues with communication and self expression. It relates to listening as well as speaking, mental discrimination, enlightened intuition and language mastery. Blue sapphire aligns energy with purpose and assists one in staying on their spiritual path.


Third Eye (Ajna) Chakra - Transparent Indigo Sodalite

Big picture visioning, intuition, and decision making

The third eye chakra, located between the eyebrows, is associated with one’s ability to focus, embrace intuition and inspiration, and see the big picture. Those experiencing a lack of imagination and inspiration, or finding themselves indecisive and unable to harness their intuition may have a blockage at the third eye chakra.

The powerful indigo gemstone essence addresses big picture visioning.  It also enhances intent, focus, and clarity. Through the third eye chakra and the energy of the indigo essence, we receive intuitive commands to move forward, make decisions, and explore our visions.


Crown (Sahasrara) Chakra - Amethyst

Promotes serenity and spiritual connectedness

The crown chakra, located at the very top of the head, is associated with one’s ability to connect spiritually. As this chakra becomes blocked, it brings a lack of spiritual connectedness and pure bliss.

With the support of the amethyst gemstone essence, we are able to rid our lives of negative energy and cleanse our auras. This essence also opens the crown chakra to receive energy from higher chakras, spiritual insight, divine love, and mastery of thought and inspiration. As we regain clarity in the crown chakra, we begin to see the divine perfection in all things. The amethyst gemstone creates a truly visionary essence.


The Other Chakras

Thymus (Higher Heart) - Aquamarine

Shields and Protects; Promotes patience, compassion, and joy

Located between the heart and throat chakras, the thymus chakra promotes the processing of higher vibrational energies and helps with integrating prana into the physical and soul body systems. When this chakra is blocked, one often lacks the ability to experience higher spiritual connectedness and incorporation of higher vibrational energies.

The aquamarine essence opens the spiritual high heart, the thymus chakra, and quiets the mental body to become receptive to transmissions from higher realms. It has humanitarian qualities as well as serenity, peacefulness, balanced emotions and abounding patience.


Zeal Point (Ascension) Chakra- Rhodolite

Promotes peace and understanding; Linked to the heart, lungs, and Voice

The zeal point chakra, located at the back of the head at the base of the skull, is related to higher states of peace, compassion, and empathy, as well as supporting one’s authentic voice. As imbalances occur at the zeal point chakra, one often struggles with self-expression, inspiration, and experiencing peace.

The essence that addresses the zeal point chakra is Rhodolite, a variety of the garnet gemstone. Rhodolite is a stone of inspiration, encouraging contemplation and intuition in balance with action and intellect. Its gentle, supportive energy also assists with enhanced self-worth and can heal old wounds related to guilt or shame. With this essence you can own your gifts and share them with the world. 


Halo Chakra - Yellow Sapphire

Express Your Life Purpose; Activation at the solar plexus and pituitary gland

The halo chakra, present as an aura around the crown chakra, represents the highest activation of the crown chakra. The halo chakra is a result of an abundance of energy and brilliance from the crown chakra. When fully activated, the halo chakra represents and understanding of higher divinity and wisdom.

The yellow sapphire gemstone essence brings in the gold light from the halo above the head. It resonates with cosmic truth and love for others. It speaks of the wise counselor who brings warmth, nourishment, empathy and inspiration. Gold is a master teacher, teaching through grace, so that one can express the soul's beauty in words, thoughts and communications. The yellow sapphire essence has been infused with the frequencies of wisdom, exaltation, and illumination.


Light Body - White Topaz

Reverses Aging; Promote unity

The light body chakra exists as a gridwork of energy and sacred geometry that unites the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual beings. This is the chakra that unites your many beings with the infinite universe.

The white topaz gemstone essence feeds the light body, resonating with the source of universal energy. It rejuvenates the etheric body and aligns it with the physical body. White topaz essence also assists with travel to other realms. This gemstone essence is great for conscious connection and manifestation of wisdom.


All Chakras - Clear Quartz

Protects and Heals; Stomach, Pituitary Gland, Intestinal Tract

Simultaneously address imbalances within the entire chakra network using clear quartz gemstone essence. The rainbow essence of quartz brings in and radiates light. It attracts life force energy, while brightening and energizing the aura. It awakens the pure light of the soul, promotes mental balance, and facilitates positive thinking.

4 Truths About Flower Essences

Brandy Oswald

4 Truths About Flower Essences

New to flower essences? Wondering how flower essences differ from essential oils and aromatherapy? You’ve come to the right place. There are a few things you will need to know as you embark upon your love affair with flower essences.

Today, we’re bringing you 4 truths about flower essences to clear confusion and ignite your passion for the vibrational healing of flower essences!

 

4 Truths About Flower Essences

 

1.    Flower essences do not have a floral scent.

When most people think of flowers, they think of beautiful, breathtaking aromas. We can’t walk by a gorgeous flower without stopping to sneak a sniff of its scent. The truth is, however, that flower essences do not carry a scent. An essence in its pure form contains the powerful, vibrational signature of the flower without having a floral aroma. In fact, most flower essences have a faint smell of alcohol from the preservative used to guarantee quality and cleanliness. Some essence blends, like our Angel Spray, carry a scent because of the addition of essential oils. The essential oils on their own possess powerful healing properties, so when combined with the powerful, vibrational energy of flower essences we can create a transformative healing blend.

 

2.    Flower essences are different than essential oils and aromatherapy.

Quite frequently flower essences are confused with essential oils and aromatherapy. The truth is that they differ in a number of ways. As mentioned above, essential oils carry a strong aroma, while flower essences do not. Because the work of flower essences is performed on an energetic level, they do not need to carry the aroma of the flower in order to provide their healing benefits. Essential oils and flower essences also differ in that essential oils require a large amount of the plant to create an oil, while flower essences only require as little as one flower to craft an essence.

 

3.    There are no adverse side effects of taking flower essences.

Ever watch a prescription drug commercial and find yourself completely perplexed and utterly frightened by the never-ending list of negative side effects from a drug for relieving eczema? Is silky, smooth skin worth the risk of depression and blood clots? Luckily, with flower essence healing, you don’t have to make that choice.

With flower essences, users cannot overdose. They also are free from possible adverse side effects. When using flower essences, the worst that can happen is nothing. The best that can happen is a magical miracle. Now that’s a risk worth taking!

 
4.    Flower essences will transform your life from the inside out.

Flower essences carry the energetic signature of flowers, allowing them to perform their healing work, not on a the physical level, but on the energetic level. The energetic properties of the flowers interact with your body’s energetic system, enacting change from the inside out. When using flower essences, you begin to transform the energetics of your body, which in turn transforms the energetics of your life!
