Kauai Essences Blog

For me, taking the Essences is a continuation in the further eradication of triggered emotional responses (due in large part to past pain/past conditioning). It’s excess baggage my body doesn’t need and I’ve been in this process of peeling ‘layers’ of the self, for almost two years now, diving headfirst into the pain in order to eradicate it. Taking the Essences has really provided a sense of renewal and courage to take another leap into the ‘unknown’ and go further because “I” thought I was ‘done’ and that I could just ‘sit on the couch’ for the rest of my days (many mahalos to you, KC .
From the first reading, it’s felt like a progression, in the body. With regard to the body’s centers, it feels more like an awakening, an expansion. And then at times, it might even be described as pressure or like there is a weight on my chest, pushing upward toward the throat. It feels as if I am relearning how to speak, but from the body, instead of the mind. For an emotional being with the power to create, there is also the power to unleash fury and destroy. This was by far, the most humbling part to experience in this ‘process’ of annihilation, and still is. It’s knowing when to ‘shut up’ when in the midst of an emotional reactive mood, because that’s all it is…a mood…a reaction chemically, or a reaction to a conditioned thought (mostly negative). The mind has been my deepest conditioning to overcome.
Truly does feel like an accelerated process at the moment in taking the Essences because the hand picks up the bottle whenever it reaches for it and the body is more than happy to oblige and ‘see what happens next’. It’s been a joy to discover how my body has responded after each reading. Feels like the right direction to me. Feels like the real me is coming through more, becoming more alive. Lately, the way in which I express myself has changed and these expressions are much more truthful and correct, rather than just mind babble fueled by erratic and chaotic emotions.
Simply Being is what saved me from my own mind’s worldly hell and it also killed me too. I went completely mad. Snapped. And now, less is more. You know, come to ‘think’ of it, it’s good for the mind to take a backseat in this process of ‘stripping down to nothing’.
I just took the Essences about 15 minutes ago, and a thought of ‘correctness’ came through…real quick and nothing dramatic. Just what the eyes ‘see’ and have ‘seen’ and immediately there was a flutter, deep inside the G…and a few seconds later another, with it going up to the throat. “Wake up, wake up. You have something to say do you?”
