Here’s a Fun One: Wild Oat Flower Essence
Are you fresh out of college and have no idea what you want to do with your life? What calls to you? What makes you passionate? What is your purpose here on earth in your lifetime? This is one of the biggest question for us as we begin to draw our life maps, redraw them, change direction, and navigate our future.
When you get lost along the way, Wild Oat helps steer your internal ship back to center, reminding you who you are and why you are here.
Wild Oat is also useful while we are on the journey and we sense a change in purpose coming. It will help us navigate this feeling of wanting to take a new direction in life as we reach goals and graduate through life.
I have seen “Wild Oat Stories” in the executives that left Microsoft to start a non-profit for a poor country. It can be seen in Dean Kamen, Obama, and also on smaller scales. And these essences work on a subtle level. As you are taking Wild Oat Flower Essence, simply observe your thinking. Talk to other people during this time and see what conversations arise. I once talked with someone taking a Wild Oat regimen and they simply would not stop talking about dogs! Dog breeds, dog shows, dogs, dogs, dogs! Of course her true calling was to be a dog trainer/breeder. Thats how it works, the soul begins to speak to us and we just have to listen.
We hope you’ve enjoyed this small conversation about Wild Oat Flower Essence, just one of the amazing flower helpers from our natural world.

How Can I NOT Take What She Did Personally? It Hurt So Much!
Here’s an Abraham Hicks quote I received this morning:
“What you want is freedom. That freedom you are seeking is freedom from resistance. You will never find the freedom that you seek by controlling the behavior of others.
You’ll only find it when the behavior of others becomes a non-issue. Because you are able to focus your mind in ways that allow your connection, and give you that feeling of well being.
We’re not giving you this guidance so that you can tune up your vibration to get your relatives to do what you want them to do and get what you want.
We’re trying to get you to tune up your vibration so that you can understand that the serenity you seek on the mountain is not about having it in the family, it’s about your vibrational alignment.
And there are hundreds of thousands of spots on this planet that would give you that feeling that you can go to any day and the Universe will orchestrate so you can go there when others are not there.
In other words, you are zigging and zagging in this world. You’ll get what you want whether you own the property or not, you see.
But the feeling of ownership, the feeling of guarding or protecting, the
feeling of making others come into agreement before I can get what I want, that will render you powerless every single time because you will never get them to agree.”

& The Astonishing Power of Your Emotions
A Great Abraham Hicks Quote on Relationships
“But we would like you to understand that moving from relationship to relationship to relationship is not the answer and that in fact the true relationship you seek is the relationship with Source if you will tend to that relationship, if you will care about how you feel, if you will care about seeing this relationship through the eyes of Source, every relationship could be the long term committed relationship you are talking to and the expansive, growth relationship you’re talking about.
It’s easy if you don’t like something to just throw it away and start over, but you take yourself with you. And whatever went wrong in your last relationship, we promise you will go wrong in this relationship unless you’ve done something about changing the vibration. And by changing the vibration, we don’t mean just go to another person! We mean do something about changing the vibration, and when you change the vibration you’ll evoke from this relationship something different just as you would evoke from a new relationship. So whether you stay or go is not the issue. The issue is – am I tending to the relationship between ME and me first? And once I do that, I will find joy wherever I stand.
You can get so good at your alignment that you could have a wonderful relationship with ANYBODY. With anybody! But you have of course, through your physical experience, given birth to all kinds of preferences and those preferences should be met. You should be able to live with the kind of person that you want to! They should look the way you want them to look, they should behave the way you want them to behave. We don’t want you to say: “You can behave in any way you want to behave and I’ll just joyously bip along and be your doormat and do whatever it is that you want me to do!” That’s not what we’re saying at all!
The Art of Allowing doesn’t mean let the other get away with things that bother you. The Art of Allowing means tuning myself to the point that I’m not bothered and then they CAN’T do things that bother you! Nobody can consistently give you something you do not want unless it is active in your vibration. And if it is active in your vibration you want to blame the other one because (you BELIEVE -sc) it wasn’t active in your vibration before you observed their behaviour. But we want you to take control of your own experience by saying “I’m in charge of the way I feel because I’m in charge of where I give my attention.” I can see through the eyes of Source or not. It’s that simple.”

The Subtleties of Living The Four Agreements
I was just making a salad for lunch. Fresh chives from the garden! And green leaf lettuce. I picked up a handful of green leaf lettuce and rather than cutting the lettuce with scissors as I had done with the long, straight chives – I put down the scissors and began to pull the lettuce apart with my hands.
I wondered why I just did what I did? It was harder to rip the lettuce apart with my hands, and it takes longer. It would be much easier with the scissors!
Thats when it hit me.
Somewhere along the line, someone had told me that lettuce must be torn apart and never cut. I made an agreement with this person (I can’t remember who it was) and for the rest of my life – have been pulling lettuce apart with my hands instead of easily cutting it with scissors.
This is how The Four Agreements book works over time. You suddenly realize how all of these side turns, extra steps, and “agreements” you have made with other people play a role in your life.
So today, I will enjoy my scissor cut lettuce and even moreso, will enjoy having recognized and removed another unnecessary agreement in my life that did not come from my authentic self.
This is a really simple example- but consider other agreements you may have accepted from parents or other good meaning people – try these on and see how they affect your life on a daily basis:
1. Don’t Talk to Strangers (as an adult ?! ?! ?!).
2. Germs live on toilet seats.
3. Ladies don’t sit like that.
4. Dirt is dirty.
5. We can’t afford that.
Do you get a reaction from these statements? How long have you been abiding by these statements and how are they affecting you? Daily? Ooh! Can’t say enough about this book, and how its’ effects over months and years continue to turn on the spiritual light bulb.
The Courage to Meet Tremendous Challenge; Good for 2009 and All of the Glorious Changes
I think most would agree, we can all say we are facing some kind of change in our lives. Obama’s campaign word was “Change”, and the state of the world is changing.
Rock Rose Flower Essence can help us get to the flip side of our change. As we go through change, we have to let go of old things, and grasp onto new ones. For instance, learning new trades because our old ones no longer serve (job loss). Letting old things wash away and learning to say goodbye to them and look forward to the new things that will replace it.
Rock Rose Flower Essence can help us to get to the “hindsight” side of change. To embrace the changes and recognize them as gifts instead of curses. To have the courage to face the changes and turn them from a negative into a positive.
* In the most extreme level of change, Rock Rose can also be indicated for the process of dying, when the ego is gripped by the fear that it will be utterly annihilated or destroyed.

Near-Death Experience Story of Mellen-Thomas Benedict
Mellen-Thomas Benedict speaks:
In 1982 I died from terminal cancer. The condition I had was inoperable, and any kind of chemotherapy they could give me would just have made me more of a vegetable. I was given six to eight months to live.
I had been an information freak in the 1970s, and I had become increasingly despondent over the nuclear crisis, the ecology crisis, and so forth. So, since I did not have a spiritual basis, I began to believe that nature had made a mistake and that we were probably a cancerous organism on the planet. I saw no way that we could get out from all the problems we had created for ourselves and the planet. I perceived all humans as cancer—and that is what I got.
That is what killed me. Be careful what your world view is. It can feed back on you, especially if it is a negative world view. I had a seriously negative one. That is what led me into my death. I tried all sorts of alternative healing methods, but nothing helped.
What Would You Say to the Little Ducky?
And what if this little ducky was you?
Just a little lesson in unconditional love and a nice break from the world of “seemingly” unending negative linear measurements. (fooey)

The Calm in the Eye of the Storm
If I had to pick a flower essence for themes of late, Indian Pink would be the one. Be the calm in the center of a storm of a changing world. We know the world needs to change, and we know the outcome will be positive. Stay the course and “be the Eye in the Center of the Storm.”
Let the negative things fall away from you, the winds blow all around you, but never through you. Find that calm stillness in the center of you, your place of power. Seek positive activities, positive people, and feel the light strong within you. Let Indian Pink help you achieve this. Don’t even SPEAK of any negatives, that is to stick your littlest pinky into the storm itself. And then you know what happens. Negativity breeds more negativity, and soon you are spinning like the rest of them.
Just LOOK at this beautiful Indian Pink. With all of this deep red movement and activity, the bright light stands tall in the center, unwavered by what happens around it. Unwavered by the contrast between yourself and whats going on around you. I can’t reiterate enough how important it is to stay positive at this time.
The Mayans predicted the collapse of our financial system as we know it, let the “Death and Taxes” of our current society fall away, and hold in your mind positive new thoughts that Anything is Possible, beyond your wildest imagination. You can watch the news and hear the futility of it all, and let it poison your own life – or you can get involved with positive enlightened people who are making positive changes and shifts. Many people are making huge positive shifts; career changes, new ideas, green ideas – as we shift and change. People are repairing instead of replacing which reduces landfills, farmers grow excited as people turn to local buying. People are planting and canning their own food. We are driving less. We are waking up, keeping our economies at a local level, supporting each other as a community.
Learn to be the Calm in the Eye of the Storm, a place of growth and enlightenment.
Keep it cool & positive kids and don’t get sucked into those whirling winds around you (which spurs me to canyon dudleya, my last post…).

Give the Gift of a Life Long Tool for a Child
I just finished reading this children’s book by Eckhart Tolle. Imagine if we had been taught to be “in the now” as children! Instead of being hurt about the past, or worrying about the future, we can teach our children to enjoy being in the present.
This story is about Milton, a happy young boy who is bullied by a 6th grader on the playground at school. Through the wise advice of his grandfather, and through his own intuition in the dreamtime, Milton learns a whole new way to look at life.
You can teach “The Now” to a child with this hearttouching bedtime story. Imagine! The ideal time to teach this wisdom to a person is when their minds are young, open and unhurt. A precious, precious gift.
The Era of Manifestation
With us passing through the heralded gate of 11/11/08 yesterday, it was perfect timing to premier this lovely new Abraham deck entitled The Law of Attraction Deck from Jerry and Esther Hicks.
Each day I am pulling these cards to keep myself in alignment with everything that I desire, keeping out any experience that I do not desire. And as my wise friend Annie would say, “Stay Peaceful”. This involves boundary setting too, saying no to the experiences that appear that I do not want, and focusing on drawing the experiences that I do want. We are in some pretty glorious times here and keeping it positive is the way to go! What do you intend to experience today?
