Tower of Power

lifekeyessencesLeave a comment

Yesterday was the first cool day we’ve had in ages so I invited some friends around to help to install my Tower of Power. “Towers of Power are paramagnetic antennas which collect and focus beneficial cosmic energies and direct them into the surrounding soil. The circular paramagnetic energy field around them stimulates biological processes in the vicinity, enhancing the health, vitality and well-being of plants and animals. Topsoil production is accelerated and bumper crops are the result. Plants have increased sugar levels, which makes them taste sweeter, whilst they become more resilient, and less pest and frost prone. ” (Alanna Moore, https://britishdowsing.net/towers-of-power/)

I built two small towers at my old house and I found that the garden grew much better. I’m hoping for the same in my new house. The climate in Central Victoria makes gardening quite a challenge and I need all the help I can get to grow a productive garden. Here I’ve put in one single tower, I’ll be interested to watch the garden and monitor any changes. I’ve built my tower using PVC pipe filled with crushed basalt, topped with a terracotta pot with a crystal on top.

The ground in Central Victoria is very hard after having a Summer with virtually no rain. Luckily someone brought a post hole digger and there were a few people with muscles who put it to work. Having a group of helpers made the job much easier and brought in a lovely energy and helped to focus my intention for the tower. We shared a meal afterwards in the spirit of abundance.

Mallow

A short workshop to help in the identification and use of edible weeds. The plants I will speak about have been used in herbal medicine for hundreds and sometimes thousands of years. They are nutrient rich and can support us in our health. They are also free and often more abundant than the plants we are growing in our vegie patch.

The next workshop will be held on Sunday 13.10.24

Please arrive at 10.30 for an 11am start. Bring some food to share for lunch. I will provide some weedy food.

Cost is $40 payable via paypal or select the COD option at checkout to pay on the day. To book please follow the link below

Working with Life Key Essences

lifekeyessencesLeave a comment

I started making my essences in 1999. I thought that I would only make seven – one for each of the seven major chakras. However, the essences kept coming and I now have 33 for the front of the major and minor chakras and a tincture that sits at the rear of most chakras.

Often when I’m working a single essence will come up for people, relating to the issues of that particular chakra. It is possible to get more specific with the location of the issue when necessary, so sometimes the etheric level within the chakra will also come up.

For example, at the moment I have an issue with my mouth chakra. This chakra is about Expansion into a freer version of self. “The mouth Chakra operates at the level of expression but this does not mean only verbal expression, it refers to the broader expression of our deeper selves.” It’s about freeing ourselves to follow the life that we really want.

At this time, the issue in the mouth chakra is sitting at level 16 (Honesty essence). “Balance on Level 16 results in an ability to calmly and easily express our true nature and live according to our soul values. When we have found balance here life begins to flow on many levels as never before. Finally our inner voice is in sync with our outer lives. Here lies true freedom – the ability to truly be ourselves. We no longer shy away from expressing our deeper nature, it just emerges naturally in our every action. The conflict between inner and outer expression is overcome and our lives expand accordingly.”

For me, at this time, I need to overcome my reluctance to dive more deeply into my essence work and share this more openly in the world. And seeing the photos of the flowers just makes me sooo happy.

Colour Mandalas

Mandala # 23 The Sky Blue Scope relates to the sound chord of F#, the stone of Sodalite and the animal Superb Blue (Fairy) Wren

In my work I often use colour mandalas to support clients through the changes they may experience after a session. Each mandala relates to an acupuncture point on the body, so they complement my kinesiology practice. The following is an excerpt from the Peace Space Colour Deck describing how the mandalas work.

While I look at the points from a Traditional Chinese Medicine approach to the physical and psycho-spiritual perspective, the use of the mandalas can extend our understanding further. The mandalas bring in the frequencies of colour and shape, and offer a different insight into the psycho-spiritual aspects of the points. Each mandala also has a sound, stone and an animal associated with it, so, many vibrations can be drawn in as supports for healing. A client can then work with the aspect that resonates with them best.

Workshops 2024

In February I will be holding workshops again.

Saturday February 3 – making herbal creams, infusions and tinctures.  A morning making herbal products and learning about the properties of a selection of herbs. This is a very practical, hands on workshop that will give you the confidence to make your own herbal remedies. All materials provided, other times can be arranged if you can’t make this one. Arrive at 9.00am for a 9.30 start, bring lunch to share if you would like to.

Tuesday February 6 – chakra group – a seven week journey through the major chakras.  We will look at one chakra a week and the Life Key Essence related to that chakra.  I found this to be a very healing process after the stress of the last few years. This group can take place online or face to face, 10am to 11am  or a mutually agreed time.

“Thank you for your diverse knowledge and gentle soulful guidance as we explored the many aspects of the seven chakras. A wonderfully relaxed and enriching course…”(Lisa)

You can register for these workshops with me or book and pay here.

Some of the plant workshops can only be run in Spring. I’m still working on the timetable for the year, I will post the dates when I’ve finalised them.

Welcome to 2024

2023 was a year of workshops for Life Key Essences. The workshops started with Edible Weeds and from that grew the Making Herbal Creams, Infusions and Tinctures workshop – a deeper dive into the properties of the plants and their uses. Below are images of my messy garden, bugle and mullein.

Some people expressed an interest in learning to make Green Oil, this involved looking at 16 weeds/herbs, some of which we’d looked at in previous workshops. From these plants our Green Oil concoction grew, it is a wonderful healing oil with a broad range of applications.

I finished the year with a chakra workshop, here we looked at the seven major chakras and the Life Key Essence that relates to each one. I found this to be very healing after the stress of the last few years. It was interesting to work through the chakra issues and reflect on how our survival, tribe, expression and other areas had been impacted by the extreme restrictions that were placed on us in Victoria.

I’m currently working on a timetable for workshops in 2024 and will put out a newsletter shortly.

I hope that 2024 brings you much joy, abundance and love.

Green oil workshop

Our green oil workshop has been running for a number of weeks now and everyone’s bottle of oil is looking great. Today we went on a road trip to gather white willow to add to our green oil. White willow was the herb that aspirin is based on, however it doesn’t cause some of the issues that the synthetic version does.

Working with Life Key Essences

A weekly group looking at the seven major chakras and the essence associated with each one.

We will take a journey through one chakra each week, looking at the issues located in each chakra and taking note of any challenges, blocks or joy and positivity in each one.

In the weekly sessions we will look at how we can move through any issues with the assistance of the essences and other practical activities.

I would like to be able to start this next Tuesday, the 7th of November, 7.30-8.30 pm, so that we can complete before Christmas. Please contact me asap if you are interested.

Cost is $10 for each session and essences will be available for purchase at the discounted price of $10.
