Kauai Essences Blog

Naoka, a Japanese women who moved to Kauai 20 years ago, is my friend and interpreter. She and I have shared several paths since that time; breath work, Advaita and Human Design.

She has participated in hundreds of my essence readings and has an impressive understanding of the flower essences I work with. She also has an ability to make everyone feel happy and light.

Recently, we hosted a Japanese couple who were strongly impacted by their readings. More than that, they didn’t want to leave because the positive energy in the room was so infectious.

It really makes me happy to see what progress Naoka and I have made in our readings. We see amazing changes and hear follow up about the shifts so many make in their life.

I just returned from a trip to watch my daughter graduate from college. It was a great time, and I my airport experience is worth repeating.

With a wait for a flight, comes the need to do something other than just sit. I decided to do laps around the terminal area and stop each time around in a relatively deserted area to do some stretches and a light isometric work out. It helped pass the time, but more importantly it provided my body with a good work out. It was the best antidote for 5 -6 hours of sitting, and it was so easy to do. I rarely see anyone else stretching or exercising in the terminal, and I think it would be a good idea for every body.  If the body is loose and relaxed, life is so much easier.

It has been a good deal of time since I last added to this blog. I continue to be amazed at the experience of life. Revolutions and extreme weather have amped up, just like they were predicted. There is the opportunity to be anxious about our future, or to relax and watch the unfoldment as it happens. I recommend relaxing. All of my life experience confirms that. If you are having difficulty relaxing, consider calling me for a flower essence reading. Your body, mind and spirit will thank you.

Another year of hope and fear. My hope, and my greatest fear, is that I will loose myself. Do you know what I mean?

Thanks you to those who were concerned for my health after my last blog. I am in excellent health again deeply engaged in moment by moment discoveries. My family is with me, the garden is getting a make over and I am thankful for it all.

May the knowledge of your own true nature fill you and yours this holiday season.

I have passed through over two weeks of intense illness. Many sleepless nights passed amid the tortuous upheavals of childhood fears, all about death. I had asthma as a child and lived through many almost dying experiences. The programming that was associated with death was not fun, and I have not wanted to replay it. But, the replay button was pushed and it was stuck.

The fears were many: ceasing existence, total blackness, stopping of consciousness, painful suffocation, burning in hell. I remember one night as a young boy when I called my father into my room because I was so scared. I asked him to tell me about heaven. He responded by explaining it was a place with golden streets and more lovely things. That was heaven.

The alternative, the house of horror, HELL, was described by my catholic mother’s church, in which I began my religious programming. The baptists, my father’s church, which I was moved to at about age 6, were equally clear about motivating christian behavior in order to avoid burning eternally. Both had little doubt about the fact that if you weren’t a member of their church, you were going to hell.

So there is a bit of a start on the information that was loaded into the software package labeled the youngster Ken. That was enough to motivate an entire life as a seeker. I had to figure it out. Who is going to hell, and what about this benevolent God? Is there a right way? What was the truth?

The search has led through so much information and experience. Each chapter had a new title, and I embraced each type and kind of programming as completely I as I could. One truth rose and then it died. Another swept in, only to end in bewilderment. Most recently, I have embraced  Advaita and Human Design. During my recent illness I started exposing myself to Richard Rudd’s Gene Keys. Lovely stuff.

My present awareness has been altered by the considerations of the last few weeks. It seems clearer to me now that I don’t know. Life is an amazing and unfathomable mystery.

The fear of the child is so strong, until it is allowed to release, that we are willing to believe the craziest shit. Even die for it. It was too scary for me not to know. Now I know that I just don’t know. Unlimited expansion is possible. The end of consciousness that I feared, is more like the end of the complete identification with this one called Ken. It is consciousness that I am.

It has been 15 years since I began commercially producing flower essences. I am holding an open house on October 3rd, from 1 – 4 pm to celebrate the occasion. There will be substantial discounts on two items, the new Love Essence and the new Star Mana, and a 10% discount on everything else. If on island, drop by and say hi.

A new version of the Love Essence was created in September, 2010. It has been several years since the last time I made the Love essence.  I have changed considerably since then and the frequency that people can handle has expanded as well.  I believe that this essence is the highest work I have ever done in making essences.

The base is made from roses. I have grown and nurtured one variety of rose for many years. It is particularly fragrant and was originally a pink Tea rose.

An amazing energy came through me that day while focusing my awareness on the rose blossoms, as they had their day in the sun, nudged against the central crystal in my circle.  The experience shocked and delighted me. From my perspective, the light that I am, magnified and intensified from my core out and into the bowl, making the roses dance and spin.

People are ready for this now. It will profoundly restore the sense of self-love and consciousness in a person.

I was just reviewing some of the blog entries for the last year. It was a good year. A lot of good stuff spewed forth. My favorite wanted to have another round. So, here it is.

The mind is like a toilet. Every time you use it, you have to flush it. Otherwise you know what happens.

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. “Certainly not something one would want to ‘flush’ as a general rule,” the mind argues. “The very idea of it smacks of escapism or some other neurosis.”

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 the only problem.

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.

I want to share some perspective on an important aspect of making flower essences. That is, the connection with the flower. I can direct my attention towards the flower and think that I feel it, but I don’t really feel it. I have only referenced my memory of it. If I can remain present with the flower and not refer to past memory, the flower can appear as much more than I have stored in my memory. It can surpass my expectation, appearing in fullness before my innocent eyes. Only then can I begin to experience the flower or its meaning.
