Why are dates such as 08 08 08 significant?

 7th August , 2008

These are powerful dates because they form a part of the pathway of alignments and energy gateways that are being used to promote a huge expansion of consciousness both within Mother Earth, and her inhabitants in the years leading up to 2012. Each one represents a moment in time when everything is in alignment to facilitate the download of new energetic patterns into the energy grids of Mother Earth that will replace the old misaligned energy patterns from which we have all created our current reality. These new energy patterns come from the blueprint of Divine Perfection held by the Spiritual Hierarchy of Earth and are released back onto the Earth as the collective consciousness of humanity is ready to receive them.

Of course outside of the illusion of the everyday world in which we appear to be separate from each other, the Earth, our brothers and sisters of Light and our Source we are all connected and very much a part of this plan for raising the collective human consciousness back to a level where we again have the choice to live in peace and love with each other. Our part of the plan as humans in incarnation is to be open to receive and anchor each download of new energy so that it can become a part of our collective reality. This happens through the collective focus of awakened individuals on dates such as 08 08 08 amplified by the positive collective focus on events such as the opening of the Olympic Games which this year of course coincides with the 08 08 08 alignment.

The energy that we will receive through this window of opportunity on the 8th August will reset the Earths energy grids to the patterning of Divine Abundance & Prosperity. As we anchor this incredible gift of energy into our collective reality it will create immense positive change in our world over the next months and years. The huge pattern of poverty consciousness that has so dominated our world will no longer have any substance and can at last become a part of our history. Take a moment to imagine what this will mean for us both collectively and individually and with gratitude in your heart listen to your own Soul as it guides you how to celebrate and align with the energy of 08 08 08.

Prosperity, Abundance & the 8 8 8 Alignment

 7th August , 2008

888August can be a month in which we get the opportunity to relax and recuperate before the energy picks up again in the autumn. However this year August has a different feel to it energetically and has the promise of being a full on month in many ways. Beginning with a solar eclipse that is at the peak of its totality over Russia and China we then have the attention of the world focussed on the Olympic Games in China. It is not a coincidence that the opening ceremony for this long awaited event takes place on the 08 08 08 ( 8th August 2008 ) alignment. This is in effect an energetic gateway, which will be used by the Spiritual Hierarchy to seed new patterns of Abundance and Prosperity into the energy grids of Mother Earth and the collective human consciousness. At a soul level each of us is involved with this process since it is we who must be open to receive and anchor this energy at an earthly level for the process to be complete. The positive collective energetic focus that is created by events like the Olympic Games and other groups focussing on the 8 8 8 alignment can be used with great effect for this purpose.

Much has been written about this alignment and we have included a couple of links to some of this information at the end of this newsletter for any of you who have not already received it in other ways.

As the new energetic patterning of Abundance and Prosperity gradually replaces our collective manifestation of poverty consciousness we will experience enormous changes that will effectively reorganise our lives and our world completely. It is clear that we are being provided with incredible help and support from our brothers and sisters in the realms of light to enable this to happen. However it is also clear that we are each and every one of us a part of this reorganisation and that we can no longer afford to resist or deny our responsibility to contribute to the choices now being made about our collective future. Whether we like it or not we are each a part of this process because our own level of consciousness either adds to, or detracts from, the level of collective human consciousness in each moment.

Within us and within many that we know there is an inner knowing that this is the time that we have been waiting for and working towards for many lifetimes; the time when we will be able to make a real difference to the future of life on earth. So how will we do this? Simply by being ourselves – standing firm in our own truth and light and acknowledging our connection with each other and our Source. Most importantly we will do it through refusing to be pulled into fear and focussing on our choice for truth to prevail. Our challenge will be to remember that love & light are the true power in any situation and that fear is an illusion, albeit a powerful one, that can be dispelled by illuminating it with enough light.  For each of us this means being vigilant in sustaining our own level of consciousness by staying in our hearts and maintaining the personal bridge of light to our higher being that will provide us with an anchor point through times of change. 

Reflecting on this we are very aware that each of us in our own ways has been challenged recently to stand in our own truth and light and to look deeply at any parts of ourselves that we have so far refused to accept as part of our light and love. Any parts of ourselves that we refuse to accept or acknowledge make us vulnerable to being pulled into fear in times of challenge. However, choosing to illuminate those parts with love & light makes us so much stronger and allows us to hold greater quantities of light. We have the sense that August will provide us all with more opportunities to release fear and to choose light, love & life.

With this in mind here are some invaluable vibrational essences to help and support you through the coming waves of change:-

A good starting place might be that old favourite; Inner Calm (Combinations for Self Treatment) to help you transform your fears. Pink Rose (Karmic Essences) and Courage (Inner Child Essences) would also help with this. The more we can face and dissolve our fears the stronger we will be.
Next on the list is our most popular Angel Essence; the Angel of Abundance. Taking this essence will help you to release old poverty consciousness patterning and help you open to your true abundance. Open to Receive (Combinations for Self Treatment) will also help with this.
Many of us need extra help to stay grounded and focused in times of change, so if this is the case for you a Base Chakra Combination (Chakra Essences) could prove an invaluable support.
For all of us the ability to stay in a heart centred space is vital – a Heart Chakra Combination (Chakra Essences) can be a great support to help with this. Last but by no means least why not try one of the new Light Body Essences; I Am Presence to help you create a strong and vibrant connection with your higher being.

Harmony, Balance & Wellbeing using the Gifts of Nature.

 11th July , 2008

Snapdragon

As we pass the mid point in the year and move fully into summer we enter a period of time in which traditionally many people take a break from the everyday routine of daily life. This rather more relaxed time of the year provides us with an opportunity for inner reflection; a time in which to relax, unwind and perhaps to take stock of what we have achieved since the beginning of the year.

We were contemplating recently just how important it really is for all of us to take the opportunity to relax and unwind every now and again so that we can reconnect with ourselves. When we do allow ourselves this space we can sometimes be surprised by the person we find there awaiting our attention. As we turn our focus inwards the parts of ourselves that we have been denying, because they do not appear to fit with our everyday world of outward striving and achievement, come forward to meet us. Very often these aspects of ourselves represent our forgotten dreams and aspirations or our most cherished unfulfilled desires. Sometimes the emotions surrounding these inner parts can feel uncomfortable as we recognise in them the niggling feelings of discontent that we have been trying to put off dealing with because we have been too busy in the outer world.

Listening to the messages that these parts of ourselves bring forward can feel challenging but also very rewarding as it will take us into a place of equilibrium within ourselves that in turn will create greater harmony, balance and well being in our lives. As we honour all parts of ourselves with loving acceptance, new direction and inspiration can be given to us from our Soul. This is so very important right now as we are at that critical time on Earth when each of us is needed to hold the light steady and fully bring forth our unique gifts and talents to support the unprecedented unfolding of light and love on our planet.

So as you take the opportunity to unwind and relax in the sun this summer give yourself the time and space to listen to your heart and the messages from your inner being possibly calling you into a greater alignment with your true purpose.

For each of us the energetic help and support that we need to step forward into a new space will vary. However whatever your need Mother Nature will be able to supply you with exactly the right vibrational frequency to help, from her wonderfully abundant resources. As you are out and about this summer take time to really connect with the flowers that you find around you in your garden, countryside, local park or holiday location. When you listen with your heart each one will have a message for you, however there will be a few that will really call to you and it is the energy of these that will be able to provide you with the vibrational support that you need.

Sometimes it can be enough to simply sit with a flower or to visualise it in meditation, allowing yourself to soak up its vibration to help you come into greater alignment. However, if you feel that you would like a more long-term focus then taking an essence made from that particular flower will be a very helpful resource.

Osteospernum

Exploring Natures Gifts
At Crystal Herbs we have a huge selection of essences made from individual flowers and we invite you to explore this resource in more depth this summer. To wet your appetites here are just a few essence suggestions from among the many possibilities in our collection that you might well come across growing as flowers on your summer travels over the next month or so.

Firstly lets start with some of the gifts of nature that are often over looked because we think of them as weeds. From a gardeners perspective Convolvulus or bindweed is one of the most pernicious of weeds, however its energetic support is exactly what many of us need right now. All through July and August you will find its trailing vines bringing forth huge white trumpet shaped flowers in hedgerows and untended gardens, reminding us to reach up through the tangle of our everyday lives and open up to our higher awareness. Then there is the humble Daisy, which offers us the energy of clarity and focus. Cleaver, that wonderfully sticky weed that can provide us with just the help we need to untangle our unhealthy emotional attachments. St John’s Wort which is invaluable to help us release and clear our fears and last but not least, those yellow spires of Agrimony that can help us to express how we truly feel All of these and more will be found in the hedgerows over the next month or so.

Moving on to other perhaps more exotic flowers that might catch your eye over the next month or so, we could pick out the beautiful daisy like Osteospernum that reminds us of the importance of being open to receive in all ways, and the tall spires of Purple Loosestrife that can provide the energetic support that so many of us need to be fully grounded. Those of us in need of a greater spiritual connection might find ourselves joining the flocks of butterflies that are attracted to the energy of the flowering Buddleia’s that are everywhere at this time of the year. While yet others might be attracted to the energetic properties of the Sunflower, with its ability to cleanse the heart chakra and help us to balance our inner male and female aspects. Have fun discovering more possibilities for yourselves!

Using the Essences You Feel Drawn To
We will leave you with the reminder that any of our Individual Flower Essences can be helpful when taken simply as a single essence on its own. Alternatively you could choose to Mix Your Own Combination to create a blend of essences to help you with the issues that are important for you now.

We wish you a wonderful sun filled month of fun & exploration and send you all much love with the reminder to contact us if you need further help or support on your journey.

Hearts and Roses

 12th June , 2008

It seems hard to believe that we are already in the beautiful month of June and that we will shortly be celebrating the summer solstice along with reaching the longest day of the year. Every month of the year brings it’s own unique gifts and opportunities and June is certainly no exception. This month we are especially blessed with the opportunity to enjoy the glorious and abundant gifts offered to us by the rose family, beginning with the appearance of the humble wild rose in our hedge rows as May turns into June and following on with the veritable cascade of more complex varieties that come fully into their glory in our gardens and parks as June progresses.

Roses hold the vibration of Love; in their delicate beauty they remind us of the need to unfold the petals of our own hearts to discover the love deep within that is our own true essence. They gently remind us that love is not simply an emotion that we feel but is the basis of our very being, present in every atom and molecule of our body. We are all familiar with the fantastic sense of aliveness and connection that we feel when we are first ‘in love’. All too often we associate this feeling exclusively with another person separate from ourselves and forget that they are simply reflecting the love in our own hearts back to us, feeling sad and alone when for some reason the reflection is no longer available.

Roses invite us to tap into the vibrancy and aliveness of our own love and to know the joy and harmony of living from the heart. In our busy outwardly seeking lives it can be all too easy to forget that everything we experience is a product of our inner thoughts, beliefs and emotions. Taking a few moments everyday to align with the wisdom of the heart and allow it to calm our turbulent emotions and expand our beliefs can make an enormous difference to our everyday lives.

So this month we invite you to revitalise your heart and your life by attuning to the vibration of love with the help of the abundant gifts of the rose family. Seek out a favourite rose or allow one to beckon you with its pristine beauty. Take time to invite its vibration into your heart and mind allowing it to show you the places in yourself that need to be re-aligned with love.

The beautiful essences in our Rose Collection set will help you to focus on this healing in more depth. You might find that one of our four Rose Combinations will provide exactly the support you need, or check out our selection of individual Rose Essences to find those that particularly resonate with you. You can then either take them as a single essence or order them mixed into a combination of your choice.

Our own particular favourites from this collection are the beautiful Compassion Rose essence that is a constant source of inspiration to remember that life is easier when we allow our hearts to rule our heads, Peace Rose essence that is so helpful when we need to release the vibrations of anger or fear from our hearts and the creative inspiration offered by the enormous soft orange blooms of Just Joey. We could go on but instead will leave you to discover your own favourites for yourselves from within our Rose Collection Essences.

The Magic of May

 12th May , 2008

PhiladelphusMay is always a special and magical month of the year, and this year is certainly no exception. Always at this time of the year the veils between the Earth and the Spiritual Realms are thinner and we can receive greater clarity and inspiration from our own Higher Selves and the Beings of Light if we are open to it. The full moons in Aries, Taurus and Gemini mark the days of celebration for the three great spiritual festivals of the year; the Easter Festival (full moon when the sun is in Aries), the Wesak Festival (full moon when the sun is in Taurus) and the Christ Festival (full moon when the sun is in Gemini). This year we have the unusual gift of two powerful Wesak full moons; the first was on April 20th and the second will be on May 19th/20th making it a time particularly potent with opportunity for new growth and higher inspiration.

Natures Mirror
We were reflecting on this over the May holiday weekend and recognising just how beautifully nature mirrors the amazing potential for new growth on all levels that this time offers. Everywhere around us life is bursting forth in all its glorious summer colours almost as you watch, and the feeling of love, life and oneness are in every breath that you take and in every direction that you look. It is humbling to recognise how everything in nature works together to support the common environment and also to see how every aspect of nature inherently knows its own Divinity and contributes its unique gifts to the whole without second thought.

This seemed such an important message for us all that we thought we would invite you to contemplate it over the coming weeks. So as you enjoy the beauties of nature this May remember to connect with the beauty within your own heart and to connect deeply with the unfolding beauty that is your true self – the part of you that is unchallenged by the beliefs of the ego. Allow yourself to honour and nurture the same life, love & beauty that you see in nature, within your own heart centre. Be open to the feeling of oneness with all life and the joy of giving and receiving that this opens up. As you observe the gifts of nature unfolding around you with wonder, take a few moments each day to look with new eyes within yourself at your own gifts and talents and look for ways that you can contribute these as your way of sharing your unique beauty with those around you.

Simply knowing that you are Love deep within your heart changes everything from the inside out.

Angel Inspiration
If you would like some help and support to go deeper within yourself this month, then why not call on the inspiration and help of the Angels by taking one of our Angel Essences. We would particularly recommend the Angel of Beauty who will be glad to help you to see your own inherent beauty more clearly or the Angel of Glory who offers help in remembering your Divinity. The Angel of Love and the Angel of Abundance will both help you to open up your heart to Love, while the Angels of Transmutation and Purification will be only too happy to assist you in releasing old patterns that are blocking your ability to see your true self.
You can find out more about these beautiful essences and how they can help you here - Angel Essences.

We wish you a wondrous & joyful month and send you all much love with the reminder to contact us if you need further help or support on your journey.

Challenging Times

 8th April , 2008

CentauryWe were reflecting the other day on just how relentless the energetic push for transformation has seemed over the last twelve months and particularly since the beginning of this year. There was a time, not so long ago, when we experienced waves of transformational energy coming into our planet with calmer periods in between, allowing us space to integrate and adjust to new levels of light within our energetic systems.

Currently it seems that we do not have the luxury of this integration space, as we are sure that you will all have noticed. This is because Earth is now completely within the photon belt and we are therefore feeling its influence consistently rather than sporadically. Photons are high frequency light particles and you will remember that the photon belt was much talked about a few years back and that there were many predictions about what would happen when it finally reached earth. Well now we know!

Of course its purpose is to help us to increase our ability to hold high frequency light at both an energetic and physical level. The photon light is literally challenging everything that does not resonate with its level of vibration to change now! We are all feeling the effect of this as a constant and relentless pressure to align and integrate with the higher levels of ourselves. We can also see its effect in the world around us as everything that is based on lower frequency energies is beginning to crumble and drop away, leaving space for us to create something new in their place.

Getting Some Help…
While we all understand the importance of this process of change we can sometimes find ourselves needing some extra help to stay balanced and connected as we endeavour to anchor this high frequency light fully and to accommodate the personal changes that this process inevitably requires.

To this end we thought we would remind you all of the invaluable help that a well-chosen combination of Bach Flower Remedies can provide. These simple yet powerful remedies are a wonderful resource to help us maintain emotional and mental balance in our daily lives. We find that if we are going through an especially ‘wobbly’ time, making up a combination of appropriate Bach Flower Remedies and taking them often – sometimes as often as every 30 minutes – will soon have us back on course and able to see the higher perspective of what caused the wobbly moment.

For each of us the ‘appropriate combination’ will depend on how we respond to the challenges of life. Some might be prone to feel fear or worry while others experience doubt and uncertainty. Then there will be those who respond by becoming withdrawn, needy, ungrounded, angry or resentful. Most people find that at times of difficulty and challenge in their lives they experience a mixture of several of these states. Whatever is in your particular repertoire of thoughts and feelings you will find exactly the right remedies from Dr Bach’s wonderful ‘38’ Flower Remedies to help you return quickly to balance and harmony.

Mix Your Own Bach Flower Remedy Combination
So if you are feeling ‘energetically challenged’ and could use a little extra help right now why not check out our new Choose Your Own Bach Flower Combination page. Here you will find a brief description of each Bach Flower Remedy and the opportunity to order the combination of your choice. Please do contact us if you need help making your choices – we will be happy to offer you the benefit of our experience.

We wish you a calm and balanced month full of insights and inspiration and send you all much love with the reminder to contact us if you need further help or support on your journey.

A thought for April…

 3rd April , 2008

Its important to remember that when things in life feel difficult, we can always find the answers and solutions within. This extract from an article by Shala on the energies of April seems to sum it up nicely….
“Nothing is outside of us, Nothing. Every thought, every word spoken, every pulse of life, every note in every song, every code, and every thread of frequency is within us. This is not news by any means – but the energy in April will allow this understanding to be felt deeply and with enlightened awareness.”
Taken from Shala’s Take by Shala Mata

Re-Connecting with Love

 11th March , 2008

Although this year March blew in like the proverbial lion it also brought with it some wonderful warm sunshine full of the promise of the spring to come. The spring equinox, which will be on March 20th (05.48 GMT) this year, is the gateway that ushers in the energy of Aries and opens the floodgates to the powerfully regenerative energy of spring. Each year this miracle of springtime rebirth and regeneration provides us all with a window of fertile opportunity, ripe with possibilities. At this time the forward moving energy of Aries provides exactly the energetic kick-start that we need to initiate the new projects and ideas that we have been contemplating in the quiet winter months.

As you watch the loving energy of Mother Nature working the miracle of rebirth in the plant and animal kingdoms this spring remember that the same loving universal energy is available to each one of us if only we would allowRose ourselves to simply receive its bounty in the same way that the plants and animals unconsciously do. Recently we were reflecting on how the simple act of receiving love seems to be such a difficult issue for so many of us. Sadly it seems that we are often like people slowly dying of thirst in a loveless desert of our own making because we have forgotten how to tap into the life saving oasis of love that is within ourselves.

Love
Love is the very essence of what we are, it makes up every cell & molecule of our bodies and is similarly present in everything around us, yet so often we refuse ourselves its nourishment. At the core of this issue is our belief that love is something that we receive from outside of ourselves rather than a fundamental part of our existence. Duality thinking has created ‘good’ & ‘bad’ and the completely erroneous idea that we are only deserving of love when we have met our limited perception of ‘good’.

In reality, love is an unlimited resource that we can tap into at any time in the deepest recesses of our own hearts. Coming fully into resonance with the vibration of love connects us consciously with all living beings in the universe and ensures that the projects and ideas that we initiate are in alignment with the highest good of the collective group of humanity.

With this in mind this month, we have decided to focus on four deep acting Rose Combinations that can help us all to unlock and transform the old beliefs that surround our ability to completely surrender to the vibration of love.

Rose Collection Combinations
Through the ages roses have been associated with the heart and have traditionally been given as a symbol of love. As Essences, Roses offer us the gift of their perfection in the form of gentle healing energies which can help us all to awaken to the unconditional love deep within our own hearts, reminding us of our Divinity and connection to the Whole.

Awakening
This combination will help to gently release and dissolve barriers erected unconsciously around our hearts as a defence against pain and sorrow. Of course these defences also prevent us from giving and receiving love fully so as they are gently dissolved with the help of this combination, we are able to awaken the innate Love and Joy hidden within our hearts.
Combination of:- Rosa Deep Secret, Rosa Blue Moon, Iceberg Rose & Sweetheart Rose.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness, either for self or others, is one of the most important issues we must address if we are to fully open our hearts to the vibration of love. Until we can accept all events and circumstances in our lives with love and forgiveness we are unable to move forward. This combination is for all of us who need help to restore the vibration of forgiveness deep within our hearts.
Combination of:- Ruby Red Rose, Rosa de la Hay, Rosa Deep Secret & Peace Rose.

Purity
This combination is for people who need to release and transmute deep feelings of unworthiness, shame, fear and anger in order to fully open their hearts. It is particularly helpful for those who have suffered abuse either now or in the past, as it helps to restore the vibrations of purity and peace within the heart.
Combination of:- Roses: Irene of Denmark, Perdita, Peace & Handel.

Unconditional Love
The Divine spark of unconditional love held deep within our hearts is the doorway through which we must pass on our journey back Home to Mother/Father God. This combination will help us all to move deeper into the beautiful vibrations of unconditional love.
Combination of:- Roses: Compassion, Perdita, Sweetheart & Ruby Red.

You can find all of the Rose Essences including the Rose Combinations here.

Emotional Gardening

 7th February , 2008

BeechEven though the weather may still be somewhat wintry as January gives way to February, the daylight hours are perceptibly longer and the first spring flowers are shyly coming forth in our gardens. Everywhere we look there are signs that nature is beginning to awake from its winter slumber. During the coming month we will no doubt find ourselves out in the garden clearing away the remnants of last years plantings and removing those persistent weeds that seem to be able to grow no matter what the season or weather conditions, in order to prepare the ground for planting our seeds later in the spring. A few hours spent in the garden amongst the peace and tranquillity of nature in this way can be very cathartic for our own inner process as well as beneficial for our gardens! It can be a helpful space in which to contemplate what still needs weeding out at an emotional level to allow the seeds that you planted at New Year to grow into healthy plants. Often what causes our carefully planted seeds of manifestation to wither and die before they can flower in all their glory, are old buried emotions and related mental patterns that sit beneath the level of our every day consciousness and subtly undermine our best endeavours at manifestation, in exactly the same way that seeds planted in the garden cannot flourish if they are planted in soil that is full of old buried rubbish.

Weeding your emotional garden

So February is an ideal month to spend time in your own emotional garden carefully selecting those emotions that are worth cultivating and gently exploring and transforming those that no longer serve you. Each time we make a choice to weed out an old emotional response and chose a new one we confirm our choice of aligning with our higher self and strengthen our connection to our own inner light, creating that all important stability in our core emotions.

Perhaps one of the most insidious weeds that we can unearth in our emotional garden is that thorny and often carefully concealed issue of our own self-value. If we do not believe that we are worthy enough to receive the fruit from our carefully planted seeds then it will be very difficult for it to fully materialise. However, so many of us carry scars from previous lifetimes where we have judged ourselves as lacking in some way or perhaps believed that it is unspiritual to have worldly possessions that this is an issue that now needs careful review if we are to fully manifest our potential. Sometimes this emotional belief in our own lack of value is so cunningly concealed behind a front of false bravado that it is difficult to spot. Other emotional issues often closely connected to this one are feelings of despair and lack of tolerance.

Essences to help

So to help with your emotional weeding this month we have chosen to highlight the three deep acting Combinations for Self Treatment that will help with the transformation of these three specific Core Emotions beginning with the issue of self value.

Self Esteem
Transforming Unworthiness

If we do not receive enough nurturing and a positive image of ourselves from our parents in childhood it can be difficult to recognize our own innate value and self worth for ourselves when we grow up. This leads to feelings of ‘never being good enough’, or not being OK in some way. The personality can develop defense mechanisms such as a need to be right or a need to feel ‘better than’ others in order to feel comfortable.

When to use - Where there is a problem with self-nurturing, or deep feelings that they are not as good as others. People who easily feel inferior or are very sensitive to criticism would also find this combination helpful. Other indications might be an unexplainable sense of incompleteness.

Inner Joy
Transforming Despair

Despair and despondency are emotions that can be created when the personality has closed itself away from the light of the Soul. Deeply traumatic experiences that overwhelm the personality can sometimes result in the choice to close parts of ourselves away, which we are then reluctant to open up again in later incarnations. To reconnect with our own innate inner joy we must first release those feelings of despair and despondency that we carry at a deep unconscious level. These feelings can cover many states of mind & emotion ranging from a mild flat feeling to a big black hole of despair from which there seems no way out. This combination will help you to unravel and release the deep-seated patterns that contribute to these feelings.

When to use - This combination will help and support anyone who has forgotten how to access their own inner joy and light. It will help to dissolve lower emotions like despair and hopelessness releasing the block to the natural flow of higher emotions like joy and happiness.

Tolerance
Transforming Intolerance

The energy of tolerance in its unbalanced form carries the potential for us to be both judgmental and critical either of others or ourselves. Intolerance is another very common emotion since we live in a society that strongly identifies with the polarities of ‘right’ & ‘wrong’. For most of us this patterning was reinforced by our upbringing in childhood. However seen from a higher perspective judgment simply holds us in polarity consciousness and stifles our spiritual growth. Extending tolerance to ourselves by opening our hearts allows us to recognize that there is no right or wrong way to do things but simply a choice in each moment of how we express our own uniqueness. As we allow this freedom of expression within ourselves it becomes easier to extend it to others.

When to use - This would be a very good combination for those who wish to transform a strong ‘inner critic’ or who find themselves easily getting caught up in situations of judgment or criticism. Anyone who fears the judgment of others or feels easily criticised would also find this combination helpful. The energy of intolerance creates inflexibility both mentally and physically so difficulties in either of these areas would indicate a need for this combination.

We wish you all every success with your emotional gardening and remind you to contact us if need further help or support on your journey!
