What is Archetypal Aromatherapy?
The term archetype is coming more into focus in the main stream and I have long been fascinated with this concept. It came into focus for me in my early 30's when I started seeing a Jungian Analyst to explore my rich dream life. From there I was hooked and fell in love with and dedicated my work to exploring my twin loves: archetypes and the plant kingdom

"Archetypes shape the manifestation of form and behavior, we can look to archetypal manifestations as models of forms and/or behaviors that we wish to embody ourselves ... [archetypes] manifest universal patterns of form and behavior arising from the collective unconscious in a manner that we, as natural born storytellers, can access and understand .... they are the epitome of Source, God, Mother Goddess, the universe - of creation and the power that drives it." - Candice Covington

Aromatherapy is the skillful utilization of essential oils which are: plants that are distilled and during this process the active chemicals are separated from the body of the plant. Since we have evolved with the plant kingdom we have receptors that are unlocked by the key of essential oils to bring about specific conditions on all level of being.

Archetypal aromatherapy falls firmly into the realm of energetic or subtle aromatherapy. If this is of interest to you please check out my latest article in The Echo World magazine exploring Archetypal Aromatherapy and the subtle use of essential oils

Valentines day often brings up mixed emotions but irrefutably it's roots are in a juicy bit of history in a Bacchanalia sort of way

From Feb. 13 to 15, the Romans celebrated the feast of Lupercalia, in a well, very Roman way! Noel Lenski, a historian at the University of Colorado at Boulder says The Roman romantics "were drunk. They were naked" and they expressed their affection by engaging in soft S & M by whipping the object of their affection with the pelts of a dog and a goat - the fascinating history of this holiday continues and you can read more about it here
Albeit what we are offering is tame in comparison, we do think it is a wonderful way to show your affection, and let another know they mean something to you outside of the ordinary

I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections and the truth of imagination - what the imagination seizes as beauty must be truth - whether it existed before or not. - John Keats

Vibrational Essence of Green Beans
Green beans: One of the more fascinating aspects of this slender green vegetable is it teaches natural magic that allows us to tap into our deepest gifts and dance with them in ecstasy--until what ever that gift is blooms-- into the fullest expression of itself.
[image error]
This plant fosters creativity and the fulfillment of desire from a source that is pure and cleansing. Also, fosters being patient and love given selflessly, true emotional freedom, and the ability give and receive with ease.
Green Bean teaches perseverance in the face of obstacles and learning the lesson(s) with as much ease as possible from your struggles and helps you see the value while in process. Allows you stop and take a breath and face your own fears, especially the vulnerable aspects that are intensely personal.
........
Our vibrational essences are lovingly hand made (you can "visit" our farm here) and are stabilized in elder flower and taste like sunshine, happiness and positive expectations!
