Good VibrationsWritten by Sam Stevens
Esoteric vibrational remedies are really hot right now, especally in Hollywood -- next step beyond aromatherapy. I Natural Health magazine says that even Julia Roberts is spraying herself with a Petaltone product to "clear her aura." of ancient negative ties and resentments(Jason Patric and Kiefer Sutherland by any chance?) Even Julia Roberts knows that essences is one of few ways she can protect herself from all of transference, projection and other negative thought forms hurled at her etheric force field every day."If you still think this is a lot of nonsense, it is -- only try spelling it non -scents. Vibrational remedies, contain plant essence but not its smell. All you're bound to smell like is grain alcohol or organic brandy. The idea is that plant essence itself, either ingested or applied to body, acts within subtle body of aura to correct or balance negative thought forms and energy. The idea was pioneered in 1920s by Edward Bach, a trance channeller who went out in wilderness and ate 38 different wild-flowers. He then noted which plant caused which miserable psychological state. True to homeopathic principle of "like repels like", each flower than became a remedy for such complex states as "failing to learn from past experiences" and "for struggling on ceaselessly despite hardships and great odds, never giving up when overwhelmed." Eighty years later, Bach's original idea has exploded to include lines of esoteric remedies made from everything from tropical plants, famous roses, shells, ice, moonbeams, plants and gemstones. Being somewhat of a spiritual thrill seeker, who is always looking for ways to alter her consciousness without getting a hangover, my hobby lately is surfing internet and looking for most exotic esoteric remedies that I can find...(I know, I should get a life!) When I go shopping for essences, I look for something like Ancient Forest Flower Essences' Norwegian Fjord Waterfall -- a remedy made in clear waters of a towering fjord waterfall -- and rumoured to fill one with empowerment. I want to "connect with my higher self" by sipping Healing Antartic Pack Ice which was made on Half Moon Island in Antartic Penisinsula during an afternoon of rare sunshine. Why have a beer when you can have a glass of water with a couple of drops of Southern Ocean Seaspray in it --"made with Antartic waters during a stormy evening in Great Southern Ocean at latitude 5905.8 which willl help me to "learn to let go" at same time.

Whenever I'm feeling stuck in a rut, I go out and buy myself a new houseplant. I usually do this when I get sense that I am surrounded by stale energy. Most people can easily pick up on this kind of vibe -- emotionally you might be feeling stuck, bored, frustrated, or discouraged. This stale energy also often manifests itself on physical plane -- phone never rings, your loved ones and pets seem irritable, and bills arrive long before you collect money to pay them. When you find yourself stuck in a chronic pattern, it usually means that your personality has somehow temporarily disconnected from your higher self. The traditional quick fix for reconnecting to your higher self would be to spend some time in nature. It is my personal opinion, that a half an hour spent in nature by a stream or pool can do more for a your body or soul than hundreds of dollars worth of self-help books, years of psychotherapy, or a prescription for Prozac. However, once you come back home, you might find yourself drawn emotionally and spiritually down again by dull and oppressive vibes hanging around in your environment. The spiritual remedy for this is to bring a little bit of nature back inside to try and raise vibrations in your home. Plants naturally have a connection to higher realms that you can access just by having them in your energy field. Different houseplants have specific influences and powers. For instance, if you feel that you are in need of some protection, try placing aloe vera, cactus, fern, ivy or a Venus Fly trap near your entrances and exits. If it's money you're seeking, you might try buying an African Violet and placing a coin beneath pot. (A word of warning to those of you who are brown thumbed though. African violets are very high maintenance and there's nothing worse than watching one die and wondering whether or not that means your potential prosperity is dying along with flower.) I suggest you pick something low maintenance, like a palm tree or an ivy plant, which is also thought to attract prosperity. If you want to feel more beautiful, try placing a crocus by your bed, which will also bring you pleasant dreams.
