On my recent teaching trip to Japan I was delighted to learn that Pacific Essences’ Abundance™ essence and Heart Spirit™ essence are still number one selling essences there.
 
Why are essences so popular in Japan??  Because people understand that transformation is an inside job and that the only thing I have any power to change is myself. If I am living in a vibration of peace, harmony, abundance, good will, prosperity and love, then those are the qualities that I am broadcasting into the environment.
 
People are choosing Heart Spirit™ because at a fundamental level of their being they know that they are attracting every experience that comes to them. So why not consciously choose to attract energies that are from the heart and which enhance the heart?
 
People choose Abundance™ essence because they know that through the ‘power of intention’ we can change anything.
 
So how do essences really work? Well first of all as a Doctor of traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) I work with the energy anatomy of human beings. Dis-ease whether it is physical, emotional or mental is a direct result of imbalance and discord in the energy landscape. This energy landscape is made up of the chakras - energy centres as defined by the ancient healing tradition of Ayurveda, and meridians – the energy pathways that circulate the life sustaining energy as defined by traditional Chinese medicine. The goal of every healing session I do – whether it is acupuncture treatments or flower essence readings – is to balance energy and to restore equilibrium to the energy anatomy. Health and well being always come from a place of balance. It’s that simple. 
 
An essence by its very nature is the perfect, balanced, coherent vibration of the flower, sea creature, or mineral/gem from which it was sourced. And when a harmonious, life supporting energy is introduced into our energy field our Body/Mind recognizes and welcomes it wholeheartedly.
 
It is the innate preference of every cell in our Body/Mind to be balanced.
When a frequency or vibratory message that will restore harmony and balance is introduced our Body/Mind recognizes it and utilizes it immediately. At a completely subconscious level our cells know what is good for us.
 
When I read my first physiology book I awoke to the fact that our bodies are the manifestation of the greatest miracle in the world. The quote below from Deepak Chopra about our cells is the most elegant description I have encountered to date.

If only I could be like my cells...

In our fragmentation and confusion, we have been ignoring the very model of a perfect spiritual life inside ourselves, says Deepak Chopra

What does it mean to live a spiritual life? Who can teach me the core principles of spirituality? Strangely enough, my own body can teach me everything I need to know. The cells of my body are already doing what I want to learn. My body does everything better than me. The cells in my body have no problem fully participating in life.

A hundred thousand billion of them signed on to the same silent agreement, which can be described through qualities that the most spiritual person would envy — but, at the same time, the most practical person would envy them too. These shared qualities speak eloquently for what a cell agrees not to do as much as for what it does.

Higher purpose: A cell agrees to work for the welfare of the whole body first and its individual welfare second. If necessary, it will die to protect the body. Skin cells perish by the thousands every hour, as do immune cells fighting off invading microbes. Selfishness is not an option, even when it comes down to a cell's survival.

Communion: A cell keeps in touch with every other cell. Messenger molecules race everywhere to notify the farthest outposts of any desire or intention, however slight. Withdrawing or refusing to communicate is not an option.

Awareness: Cells adapt from moment to moment. They remain flexible in order to respond to immediate situations. Getting caught up in rigid habits is not an option.

Acceptance: Cells recognise each other as equally important. Every function in the body is interdependent on every other. Doing it alone is not an option.

Creativity: Although every cell has a set of unique functions, these combine in creative ways. A person can digest food never eaten before, think thoughts never thought before, dance in a way never seen before. Clinging to old behaviour is not an option.

Being: Cells obey the universal cycle of rest and activity. Although this cycle expresses itself in many ways, such as fluctuating hormone levels, blood pressure and digestive rhythms, the most obvious expression is sleep. Why we need to sleep remains a medical mystery, yet complete dysfunction develops if we don't. In the silence of inactivity, the future of the body is incubating. Being obsessively active is not an option.

Efficiency: Cells function with the least expenditure of energy. Typically, a cell only stores three seconds of food and oxygen inside the cell wall. It trusts totally on being provided for. Excessive consumption of food, air, or water is not an option.

Bonding: Due to their common genetic inheritance, cells know that they are fundamentally the same. The fact that liver cells are different from heart cells, and muscle cells different from brain cells does not negate their common identity, which is unchanging. In the laboratory, a muscle cell can be genetically transformed into a heart cell by going back to their common source. Cells remain tied to their source no matter how many times they divide. Being an outcast is not an option.

Giving: The primary activity of cells is giving, which maintains the integrity of all other cells. Total commitment to giving makes receiving automatic — it is the other half of a natural cycle. Hoarding is not an option.

Immortality: Cells reproduce in order to pass on knowledge, experience, and talents, withholding nothing from their offspring. This is a kind of practical immortality, submitting to death on the physical plane, but defeating it on the non-physical. A generation gap is not an option.
We are selfish and greedy. As they evolved, cells learned what really works for survival. Your body can't afford to pay lip service to leading a spiritual life unless it wants to throw away aeons of wisdom. Yet, the vast majority of suffering in our personal lives comes about because we consciously choose to behave contrary to the soul bargain that keeps our bodies alive.
