If you missed the Great Lakes Sacred Essences open house Thursday night you missed one Hot event! With Ann Arbor Temps reaching 101°F and a neighborhood power surge 30 minutes before the actual event we were without lights or fans, but not without humor or excitement! The open house was attended by visitors from both coasts including guests from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Washington D.C. Oregon, and California; while we had emails from around the world from folks who would have liked to come and wished us well. What a blessing to have so many good friends and a hearty felt thank you to all! The garden walk was especially fun as I was able to show off my darling flower friends and talk about what it means to be a spiritual gardener highlighting each flower and its gifts while answering everyone’s flowing questions.

In the heat of July the spirals of the Wood Betony opens up a tranquil space helping us to slow down and breathe. Wood Betony is a flower essence I would just like you to experience. In a world that seems to be moving so fast the wood Betony essence supports me in finding the space for down time and then helps me to keep it sacred.

The Orange Daylilies are amazing right now. Everywhere I go they seem to shout “look at me!” They offer the eyes a simple pleasure in the heat of midsummer and speak to us about slowing down our hectic schedules and drinking in the fleeting pleasures offered by this beautiful season.

Summertime when the living is – Amazing! I love all the seasons but come on’ if you are not daily in total awe and gratefulness this summer you are not paying attention. The flowers, the blue skies, the cool nights and don’t miss the fireflies this week!
Is there anywhere cooler than Planet Earth? Take a little time to experience where you are. Breath deeply and just get quiet. It’s all here for us – the sentient beings. Enjoy!
We are putting up the writings for 4 more of the essences on our website this week. Look for Milkweed, Columbine, Beauty Bush and Bristlecone Pine. If you have not been to the website in awhile you will enjoy finding over 200 of the writings for the individual stock essences online. This has been an undertaking of great love and effort by the GLSE staff. The writings themselves are a direct transmission from the Spirit of the Nature that they are received from, I listen and write as the essence is being formed.

Dayflower essence is for those who present only the good aspects of themselves and are unable to acknowledge their darker side. They want to be seen by others as being good and doing the right thing, presenting the bright and shining aspects of themselves to parents, teachers, and friends.
Yet when one’s darkness and dark experiences have nowhere to be voiced or compassionately listened to, they can cause pain within, working deeper and deeper into the body, where they can manifest in conditions of chronic pain, inflammation, or tension.
Dayflower essence helps us unconditionally love and accept the essence of our being and assists us in releasing our fears of the darker or more mysterious parts of ourselves and of our culture.

A closer look at one of our essences.
September Strawberry flower essence blesses the heart and gives it courage. The blossoms of this strawberry plant usually served as harbingers of spring. But this time, it blossomed in late September, adding a bright white radiance to the reds, oranges, and yellows around it.
Our connection to our own inner knowing must flow and change, ready to break with the status quo, which is contrary to the emphasis on careful packaging and public image that surrounds us. If you are here to do new things, September Strawberry essence will give you the courage to stay in your heart. When you’re confronted or challenged, you’ll stay strong and grounded, and you’ll speak your truth clearly without apology.

A feature on one of our essences.
Lake Superior Sand essence helps with issues where you have been trying to make a change for a long time. Sand offers the gift of transformation. It teaches us about refinement as we are constantly asked to hone, to move, to give way to something greater.
