I first began to make essences in 2006. At the time it came as a surprise and definitely a learning curve, but as you progress through the Gaia Method Earthways, you reach a point where you will be called to make essences as sacred sites yourself.

I have been making these essences for nearly twenty years and have built up quite a stock. They are used to access the ancestral wisdom of a site, or for healing issues that get in the way of your becoming your true self. They can raise your vibration, connect you to healing energies or to different elemental gifts, they can also be used to bring in the energies of ancient cultures and their ways of sacred living. Their uses are many and varied.

All the essences are made at sacred sites around the British Isles, Ireland, Iceland and Egypt and are infused by the knowledge, wisdom and healing of the Elemental Guardians of those places. They gift these energies to us in return for the service we give them in. There is a faery rule that nothing is given without there being something given in return. In helping the elementals of nature, we are given in return, their gifts of energy and insight.

I always carry a bottle of water with me because I never know when I am going to be invited to make an essence. At a sacred site, usually while doing energy-work, the site guardian will prompt me to take out the water and place it, either in my hands with the lid open, or on the ground or in the crook of a tree. Then I watch as the spirit of the place puts energies into the water. These can be their nature wisdom, dragon energies, solar fertility, or other energies that bring healing and knowledge. Sometimes too, portions of elemental energies also place their energy in the water and I have come to know these essences as a Genie in a Bottle.

I have built up quite a significant collection of these essences, which, like wine, grow in potency over time. Use them for personal use, or during healing sessions. They are particularly effective in sound healing. When you use them in a healing, such as Reiki, or meditation practice, they bring up issues around the energies of the essences. I am often prompted to use one, or two, during a healing or crystal reading session.

Spray yourself before going to a sacred site. I often dowse to see what energies I need or sometimes I hear the name of an essence pop into my head and I know I need that one.

There are a number of ways you can buy the essences. You can buy a 10ml spray bottle of stock essence, which is the most cost effective way and is also much cheaper in postage. Buying a couple at a time is even cheaper as you are only paying once for postage. If you buy them this way, you can buy your own bottles on Amazon and make the essences yourself. All you have to do is add a few drops from the stock bottle to another spray bottle and then add filtered or distilled water and some floral water, or even no scent at all. The stock bottles can last for quite some time so if you work with other people as a healer, and you want to give them an essence to help their healing process, you can do this easily.

If you want one bottle of essence already made up then they come in 30ml bottles, either glass, or plastic for travelling. As much as I did not want to use plastic, I could not find any bottles light enough to have in your pocket. But, they are recyclable. You can also reuse these bottles because I do not put the name of the essence on the bottle itself, so you can use it for any essence you want once it is empty.

Each spray bottle costs £10.99 each. (Postage within UK included)

10ml stock bottles are £7.00 each.
