Hi Everyone,
It is so very exciting that we are all experiencing more joy and delighted states. We are being transported to elysian and empyrean bliss. These are more heavenly spheres of fire and light, and they require a certain kind of flow. Think of a flowing river of light. There is no need to ignite this river of infinite light anymore! It is flowing beautifully on its own. As we refine our path to expanded states of being, and sleuth out ways to enhance our journey, some of you have noticed that caffeine may be hindering our experience.
“This Thursday I decided to stop drinking green tea, and I definitely am noticing the impact on me…my sleep has frequent wake ups about every two hours…I wonder about this..my son says he can notice a difference already, I’m less chatty and more even keel!!….Haha” (my note- with the healing program {sign up below}, you should be experiencing much longer periods of deep sleep, anywhere from 6 to 8 hours – caffeine can definitely interfere!)
If you are feeling scattered, out of focus, have interrupted sleep, (like the client above) experience brain fog, anxiousness, irritability, swings in energy levels and moods, or anxiety, it may be coming from caffeine.
My own experiences and experiments with caffeine confirm to me that we want to proceed cautiously with this kind of stimulant. Coffee, tea, and chocolate were known by ancient yogis and gurus to be too “rajasic” for optimum spiritual growth. Rajasic foods interfere with inner quietness, and interrupt healthy sleep patterns. It seems that as our light voltage increases and flows throughout our energetic totality in greater and greater increments, we no longer need caffeine to jump-start our systems.
One analogy that might explain this a little better is that stimulating drinks with caffeine create a sudden, abrupt “firework” to our voltage that creates a chaotic energy counterproductive to our finely tuned rhythms, flow (so important!) inner peace, and serenity. It’s kind of like a fuse is suddenly blown and it takes extra energy to get back that serene way of being again.
This all doesn’t mean that we can’t have a little bit caffeine now and then, it just means that we want to experiment with how much we can handle to maintain our greater and greater states of consciousness.
All of us know how green tea has one of the highest antioxidant activity levels of any substance, but it also contains quite a bit of caffeine and I personally cannot tolerate even a little cup of it. But did you know that hibiscus tea is even higher in antioxidants? AND the caffeine level of hibiscus is zero!
AND it’s delicious!!
Here is a quick little recipe I make many a morning:
Winter Red Hibiscus (see image above) Tea
2 TBS Dried Organic Hibiscus Flowers
6 or 7 Whole Organic Cloves
4 or 5 Dried Organic Red or Pink Rose Buds
(1 serving makes 8 oz.)
Place all of the items in a tea infuser basket or ball and place in a mug with 8 oz. of boiling water. Wait 7 – 10 minutes. Squeeze as much of the herb material into the liquid. I add a few drops of liquid stevia before I indulge in this wonderful morning treat. BTW Hibiscus Flower essence is known for releasing trauma!
If you have challenges reducing your intake of caffeine, or have other habits you would love to let go of, you might like to know about one of our very popular essence combinations called RELEASE HABITS. (Know that as you remove caffeine from your diet, your caffeine symptoms may take about a week to disappear. This is because many types of coffee are quite toxic and the liver may be behind on processing and detoxifying your system from the coffee.)
Flower Essences For Releasing Habits
RELEASE HABITS
“I am the complete release of all old conditioning and programming in all levels of my energetic totality.”
We all have habits, unconstructive patterns of thinking and behaving, and addictions. Habits can include holding on to things we no longer need, living in clutter and disorganization, avoiding responsibilities around our financial situation, being a “doormat” to our family, thoughts that we may not even notice, addictions to foods, drinks, and drugs, and even habits related to the behavior of being in pain. Some of our habits are easy to identify and some are much less obvious.
I think that the majority of therapists and spiritual teachers with an approach that includes energetic concepts, would agree that many of our less constructive patterns begin at the heart chakra. Instead of being unconditionally loving to ourselves, we have twisted ourselves around and instead have found ways to not love ourselves or to be conditionally loving to ourselves in one way or another.
For eons, our bodies, on the earth plane, have been pulled one way and our souls in another direction. This polarity has led the heart to a place of being/feeling abandoned on a physical, mental, emotional or spiritual level. My sense is that the more amplified the feeling of separation, the more amplified the pattern of behavior that does not serve us will be.
Divine guidance has suggested a flower essence combination that will give us great support as we strive to let go of those habits that no longer serve us.
You will see that this divinely guided formula includes flower essences from plants that may have, at another level, created a tendency towards an addiction. For example, you will see that RELEASE HABIT includes California Poppy, Coffee Flower, Grape, and White Nicotiana. What I have come to be guided to know from non-physical realms of love and light is that an authentic experience of being and healing through a plant can be taken too far and instead of healing, can create real struggles and mind-numbing diversions that we initially interpret as movement towards healing.
The gifts of these plants are huge, but when used at the wrong octave, without ritual and ceremony, can create real havoc. We are attracted to these plants, because we intuitively “know” that their gifts will expand us beyond our perceived boundaries and limitations and ultimately- this is what we want for ourselves.
Over and over again , I have been witness to the most miraculous but amazingly simple gifts that the flowers have to offer – if coffee, for example, on the physical level can cause an addiction to caffeine, then the coffee, offered at the octave of an “essence,” will also have the gift of clearing that addiction.
This is a breakthrough essence; we are proud to offer it. RELEASE HABIT contains:
Bleeding Heart (image below) – suffuses anything that you do with the quality of love in an amplified way.
California Poppy – helps us to anchor ourselves in our hearts and also motivates us.
Chicory – increase momentum in our healing process, helps us to leave behind our selfish characteristics.
Coffee – support for clearing ourselves of unconstructive patterns of behavior and thought, freedom to be true to ourselves.
Coastal Sea Rocket – lay a more secure foundation for the development of your energetic potentials and attainments, being true to the path that you are asked to walk each day, climb the stairs energetically when they appear.
Comfrey (image below) – brings contentment as the soul and heart unify as one powerful force – “I am the meeting and union of soul and heart.”
Grape – helps us to know at the most subtle level, our essential self, a strong tangible feeling of our own divinity. (Makes sense to be helpful for alcohol addiction)
Lemon – clarity for the mental body, for confused or veiled thinking, decisiveness where there is indecisiveness.
Painkiller Plant – assists in helping us to transcend painful experiences.
Painted Leaf – “I am the painted “sign” that shows you the path to take.”
Pink Water Lily – unburdens our hearts of their deepest aches and sorrows.
Pumpkin – excellent for those who procrastinate, gives momentum and follow through.
Queen Palm – refines nervous systems that have been numbed, often extremely sensitive individuals finding themselves in a collective consciousness that they cannot adapt to.
Sage – way shower, oversees the four directions, the gift of Sage is that even if it is dark, Sage shows the way to light, internal GPS.
Strawberry – clearly a heart essence.
White Nicotiana – most likely assists with overcoming nicotine addiction (calibrates at 1000 on a scale from 1-1000 in the calibration system developed by David Hawkins – see Power vs. Force).
