Welcome to Essences for the Inner Journey

Crystal Herbs - Flower Essences & More - January 2024

Dear Friends,

With a new year comes change and we thought we would start 2024 by refreshing the name of our ‘Essences for Sharing’ newsletter to ‘Essences for the Inner Journey’. We feel that it better expresses what the newsletter is all about - we hope that you like it!

Personal Power & Sovereignty: this month we’re exploring the Solar Plexus Chakra Essence from the Chakra Essences. The Solar Plexus Chakra Essence is all about self-definition, personal power, will and positive emotional expression. It's very useful if you feel oversensitive or too open to others, have a sense of vulnerability, lack of self worth or difficulties with personal boundaries or emotional neediness. You can find out more below!

You can also find our ‘tips for working consciously with essences’ and special offers for January.

All of the Flower, Gem & Crystal Essences and special offers mentioned in this newsletter can be found at: www.crystalherbs.com

Essence Review…

Personal Power & Sovereignty - Solar Plexus Chakra Essence

So our Essence Review this month focusses on the Solar Plexus Chakra combination from our Chakra Essences range. This is a deep acting mix of flower, gem & crystal essences designed to help you work with all the patterns that relate to this energy centre as well as balancing and harmonising the chakra point itself so that it functions more optimally.

Patterns that relate to the solar plexus chakra are coming into prominence for a lot of people right now as we move through this accelerated period of change and transformation. Being able to work consciously with these often challenging patterns can really help you to expand your awareness and to see new pathways forward from a higher perspective.

Old Patterns of the Solar Plexus Chakra

Many of us are still carrying imprinted old patterns that relate to polarity consciousness, and these will continue to unconsciously influence our way of being until we make a choice to act differently.

The solar plexus chakra relates to your personal power and individual sovereignty as a being, yet so many of the old patterns prevent us from fully embodying this. You may well be feeling this strongly in your life right now as a desire to break free from the restriction of conditional love or co-dependency in some form, a need to stand more fully in your own power and truth, a recognition that you can no longer continually over step your boundaries to please others or a strong resistance to being manipulated by individuals or by societal norms.

You may also be familiar with the experience of feeling these and other issues and doing your best to make a new choice, only to find yourself frustratingly hooked back into the old pattern again.

What holds us into the old patterns?

It is worth remembering that these are often not things that we can access with our logical mind because they were imprinted into our unconscious long before our mind had developed enough to function as a conscious filter.

With the solar plexus chakra one of the big unconscious imprinted patterns that many people have, in one form or another, is a version of the story that goes; in order to get my needs met or to be loved, I must make sure that everyone around me is OK. In this situation no one around us is modelling self-empowerment, rather they are playing out the game of co-dependency.

If your birth family was dysfunctional enough to leave you feeling unsafe then this is often the coping strategy that you employ to deal with that situation. We then carry this on in later life becoming a fixer of other people’s problems often to the detriment of ourselves.

In this situation we can be very reluctant to step into our own power because unconsciously we feel we will not be safe, loved or acknowledged for who we are if we do. You might now be finding yourself feeling increasingly disempowered, unloved, angry, frustrated and/or afraid. These hidden beliefs and emotions are like glue when it comes to trying to step out of a pattern until we can see them for what they are – just something from the past that is no longer useful.

Unhealthy power dynamics operate as a polarity where at one end we have the possibility of being a persecutor and at the other extreme a victim. Without doubt we have all had experiences in which we have acted out both ends of this polarity.

Fear of abusing our power can be a compelling but hidden reason we might now be struggling to step into the full potential of the solar plexus chakra. It is also easy to get stuck on the victim end of this polarity and fail to see that blaming others for our situation simply holds the old pattern in place until we make new choices.

Taking flower, gem & crystal essences is a powerful way to help ourselves unlock and transform the hidden belief patterns and related emotional issues that make it difficult for us to fully move out of an old redundant pattern.

Indications that it might be particularly helpful include:

• Feelings of oversensitivity and vulnerability

• Easily invaded by thoughts, feelings or negative psychic impressions in your environment.

• Feelings of unease and discomfort in the solar plexus chakra area

• Often feel exhausted when in crowded places.

• Difficulty maintaining positive personal boundaries

• Lack of self-value

• Power & control issues

• Emotional neediness

• Overly active mental body

It will promote:

• Balanced personal power and use of will

• Self-definition

• Strong, positive personal boundaries

• Positive emotional expression

• The ability to stay centred in your own energetic space

• The awareness that you can choose which vibrations you entertain in your personal space

• Greater self-awareness and mastery of self

How to Use

An effective dose for most adults is four drops on the tongue 3 or 4 x a day, straight from the stock bottle. For best results take consistently for a period of two to four weeks.

Tips for Consciously Working With Essences…

Tips for Working With your Solar Plexus Chakra

When you work with essences consciously, it helps to facilitate deeper inner transformation. Here’s our tips for getting the most out of your essence-taking journey with the Solar Plexus Chakra Essence.

• Give yourself time every day to connect with how you are thinking and feeling. Particularly notice what situations in life cause you to feel disempowered or trigger off an old control pattern.

• Pay attention to any situations that trigger off feelings of oversensitivity and vulnerability and be conscious about how you respond to those feelings. If things feel difficult, take some time to breathe and centre yourself in your heart to deepen your connection with yourself and how you are feeling.

• Prioritise taking caring of your own needs if you’re usually focused on other people, and allow your emotions, thoughts and feelings to come more into your conscious awareness so that they can release and clear through.

• Reflect on the messages you received about boundaries and personal power in childhood and see what patterns, beliefs and coping mechanisms you picked up or chose to take on to help you deal with the situations you faced.

• Be very mindful of whether you are reacting or consciously choosing your response as you interact with the people and situations in your life.

• Be kind, gentle and patient with yourself – unconscious childhood beliefs about getting your needs met or receiving love could come to the surface in your close relationships which can feel vulnerable or uncomfortable at times. Simply notice that these are childlike feelings being released so that you can step into your sovereignty as an empowered adult.
