			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think I have taken for granted that every body knows the answer.  I wanted to make a few comments that would help with the answering. </p>
<p>The geographic area a plant grows and flowers in has a lot to do with what it will offer as a flower essence.  Along with climate, the background energy of an area heavily influences the plants.  The human population does it&#8217;s share to influence plants.  We know that population density can overwhelm an area.  The actions of people over time leave long term effects on the land, water, air and energy frequency.  The plant kingdom suffers disease, mutation and weaker life force as a result. </p>
<p>Kauai is one of the northern islands of Hawaii, 2500 miles from the nearest land mass.  The population is relatively small and the plant kingdom thrives.  The climate ranges from desert to the dampest place on earth, with summer almost all year.  It does not suffer from the negative energetic influences of billions of people in America, the East or Europe.</p>
<p>Kauai is called the Garden Island.  Plants grow well in the 4 million year old soil.  The island has been connected with Lemuria as the northern most point of the sunken continent.  This ancient quality of energy is felt by visitors to the island as well as the plant kingdom on Kauai.  That refined, natural, supportive, nurturing energy is the background energy that the plants and flowers grow in here.</p>
<p>A flower essence is created to actualize a transfer of the plant and flower&#8217;s energy signature and frequency into water.  That signature is presented in full glory, not suffering the negative influences of population density.  The steady gently rains, mixed with sun shine provide a perfect environment so the plants are not stressed.</p>
<p>These are some starting points for a discussion about the relative value of flower essences from different locations.  I present the position of a producer of flower essences on Kauai.  I recognize, as an essence practitioner, that flower essences from stressed areas and climates are also wonderful.  I observe that each of us is uniquely designed and each of us have unique upbringings.  I use flower essences produced by others from as many unique areas as I reasonably can so I can best treat the patterns and results of our upbringing and uniqueness. </p>
<p>I believe that Kauai flower essences should be among the ones a person tries.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After many years of producing flower essences and doing essence readings, it seems a bit clearer as to why I&#8217;m doing it at all.   I am impacting others in a positive way.   Also, when I am with someone in a reading, it is a time when I am clear of my personal mind burden, and I get to meet the person at the highest level we are both capable of.   From my perspective, I am helping the person clear the persistent patterns of dysfunctional behavior that interfere with the experience of their real self.   That process may take a life time.   The programing we are all subject to from birth to the moment you are reading these words is overwhelming.   So much so that we feel lost, afraid and fearful from our hypnotized condition.   Flower essences do the final healing after the understanding has happened in the mind, but the cells and energy field are still stuck from the years of programing and reinforcement.   Then there can be a more complete release of the old.     That leads to the awakening to reality.  What is. . . . . At this point in this experience I call my life, it seems that is why I do what I do.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Its been an abundant fall here.  We are bottling mangos, juicing and drying star fruit, and drying and freezing bananas and papayas.Instead of putting the garden to sleep for the winter, here in Hawaii our best gardening season is just beginning.  The harsh sun diminishes, and the rains get more regular. Result?  Happy little vegetables that need little help from the gardener.  So, the beds are full, and the seed trays are pumping out little starts.There is something so deeply comforting about gardening and harvesting abundance.  I am grateful.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What a great night I had last night.  A dozen or so individuals gathered in my circle for close to an all night meditation.  I had an opportunity to listen to many peoples process as we periodically shared together.  I was struck with how different we all seem to be in the way we approach our own personal silent continuous perceptions.</p>
<p>Some conjured images and healing settings.  Others worked with their imaginary world of spirits and helpers.  One man spent the night trying to contact his long deceased mother, with no avail.  </p>
<p>At one point, I was sitting considering the various strategies being employed around me by my companions.  The thought came to me, &#8220;do I dare address the tense and anxious tightness in my belly.&#8221;  I did dare, and I approached it in my own way.  I had the courage to let everything be the way that it was, without trying to manipulate it.  The sounds of the insects, the ocean waves and the wind became intensely beautiful.  The feeling of the air and the slight mist were added to the mix.  Hours passed with nothing but a quiet appreciation of all of the sounds, smells and feelings.  It occurred to me that that was the peace that passeth all understanding.  I had a real experience of the metaphor of sitting in the back seat and enjoying the ride.  Nothing to do with the driving.  Just busy taking in as much of the view as I could manage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gardening has evolved here over the summer.  I discovered actively aerated compost tea(AACT).  This is a method of taking my own compost and aerating it in a 55 gallon drum for 1 - 2 days.  Just add a little molasses to feed the bacteria and off it goes into brewing a frothing liquid that goes right on the ground and on the leaves as soon as it is made.  Basically, it is expanding the colonies of bacteria and some fungus into numbers that will increase diversity of the microbial population in the soil.  This in turn adjusts the nutrient level available for the plants.  Simple.  No fertilizers needed.  Everything seems to love it and it is free.  All you need is a plastic drum, an aquarium pump and stone and your own freshly made compost.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The next step for me is to invite others to spend more time with me in the intention of moving whatever is holding a person back from their blossoming.  So far, I have limited myself to relatively short sessions, choosing the appropriate flower essences and giving a little reflection.  It is time I offered more.</p>
<p>I will work with people one on one over a 5 day period.  Our private bluff guest cottage would be home for 5 days, surrounded by the supportive  energy of this amazing place.  I will spend time listening and sharing every day and do a daily essence reading to provide a unique personal set of essences supporting the journey.  The rest of each day will be filled with life changing experiences with other amazing people who are working with me.  That will include a 2 hour unwinding message, a hike into one of the sacred spots of the island with a life coach, a morning  experiential journey on Secret Beach with a Human Design guide and an additional Human Design reading with a different guide.  The final day, several of the guides will join us to field questions and offer their clarity.</p>
<p>The cost of this 5 day Kauai adventure in blossoming is $2500. Email me if your interested in checking dates.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oh boy.  Here I go again.  I heard that awful song on the radio again and I could not let it be.  God is watching you from a distance, the song goes.  That may be the most powerful idea, . . .  for the dark side.  What can I say?   The idea that I am separate and apart from God and he or she is watching me from a distance is the problem.</p>
<p>I confess.  I am that one of which you speak.  I am as much God as any one else.  The idea that I am less than that or other than that is the problem.  There is no apart.  There is only the mind and its refusal to let go and allow.  And it cries and sings, God is watching you.  Diry little trick it is.  Pretending to be so nice nice.  This is the core of the problem, and it is like a virus invading everything.  Pretending to be God like, Christian, holy or whatever.  It is all the world of the mind.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The mind is like a toilet.  Every time you use it, you have to flush it.  Otherwise you know what happens.</p>
<p>The problem is, the mind has successfully disguised itself as me and you.  So, what ever it thinks seems important and even worth getting pretty angry over. &#8220;Certainly not something one would want to &#8216;flush&#8217; as a general rule,&#8221;  the mind argues. &#8220;The very idea of it smacks of escapism or some other neurosis.&#8221;</p>
<p>There is our dilema.  The worldly mind, in support of our mind, refuses to be shut up, and our only hope for getting in tune with our unique frequency or being requires not listening to our minds.  A real authentic expereince of self is within every one.  It requires no support from the mind.   It is always present.  The mind is <em>the only problem.  </em></p>
<p>It may seem hard, but I am advising flushing after every use.  There is not one use of the mind superior to another.  All are equally distracting from the essential nature of each of us, that waits to be remembered.</p>
