Hi Renee, Can you get to Austin? Just outside there is a botanical garden founded by Lady Bird Johnson. I visited when I was thinking of moving there. I'll bet they would love to have you make some essences of their plants. Then they could offer them in their gift shop! Blessings, PT

I will send a list of my essences and what they 'do', but I don't think attachments are allowed on this list? I can send it privately to anyone who wants it so they can see what essences do--just write me off list at [email protected] Most plants have more than one 'response', does more than just one thing, but one will be the main thrust and the others are side shoots, so to speak. You can look at the list and see what energetics you are interested in. Then you can cross reference my local plants with your local plants to see if they grow in your area. Some do, some do not. In fact, you have WAY more flowering plants in the northeast than we have here in south texas. Many places do. I went nuts when I visited Washington state to teach an essence class. My host took me to a huge botanical garden and we (the class) made essences there by pouring water over the flowers, since we were not allowed to pick flowers. Then every time she took me somewhere I was crazed watching the roadside flowers. I recognized many because I'm originally from Illinois and there are many more wildflowers there than here in south texas, but I didn't know about essences when I lived there. So I'd see their equivalent on the roadways in Washington, and want to stop and couldn't. Although I did get to walk along the streets that bordered woods by where my host lived, so made many there. It was a trip trying to get them home on the plane--finding room for all those bottles, wrapping them so they wouldn't break. And then all the plants that I didn't know from back home. They literally took my breath away! Here in south texas it is not a diverse plant area. Not so many herbs or wild foods as up north either. So you may find some of my texas plants (which are about the only ones in my catalog) where you are, but you will have a much greater opportunity to get to learn your local plants and what their essences will do. It's simply a matter of being with the plants. Get quiet and literally sit with them. Decide on a plant, sit down, ask the plant what it wants to do through you. Because--just because a goldenrod plant here does one thing through me, does NOT automatically mean it will do the same thing through you! You may ask that it will do the same, and expect it to do the same, and the plant will accommodate you and do just that. But it may have a totally different desire to express when working through YOU. I taught my students that my rosemary is for joy, but that there is a man in Scotland whose rosemary is for memory problems, and that there's one in Australia whose rosemary is for repelling negative energy. Now--if mine is for joy, does that make theirs invalid? Absolutely not. Even though they are the same plants, plants are working THROUGH the maker and want to do different things through each maker. Because as much as we try not to put ourselves into the energy of the essence, we ARE a part of each essence. And so the plant has the right to choose what it wishes to express THROUGH each maker. I told them that since ALL rosemary essences were valid, it was up to the end user to decide which essence they needed/wanted, and which seemed a better fit for them. Energy is an interactive process. It is the users job to get a feel for the essence, (meaning asking if they really need that essence at that time, and which company's essences works best for them) and it's the essence's job to to bring that energy into harmony with the user.
