Lichen

Lichen helps an individual to be aware of, look for and go to the Light at the moment of physical death. The alternative to the soul going through to the Light is to stay earth bound in the astral plane — what we commonly refer to as ‘a ghost’. There is a great deal of darkness operating on the astral plane and it is certainly a level that the soul would be well

Green Essence

The Green Essence is made, not from the flowers, but rather the stems and leaves of traditional, fresh, green herbs, using the same method we use to make our Flower Essences. It is used to harmonize any internal yeast, mold and parasites to the same vibration as one’s body. It should be taken orally for a minimum two week period,

Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leaves allows one to hear, see and feel communication from the other side and be open to that guidance and communication. It also further emphasizes the sense of letting go and moving on in a very profound way. The leaves themselves were collected from a sacred area, in autumn,

Yellow Cowslip Orchid

Yellow is the color that symbolizes the intellect and the element of Air. This orchid has a very social and gregarious nature and is commonly found growing in clusters. The element of Air is very concerned with social order, group activity, and harmony. When out of balance there is excessive judgment and criticism.

Wisteria

This Essence is for women who are uncomfortable with their sexuality. They may be unable to relax and enjoy sex, or afraid of physical intimacy and/or sensuality. Wisteria is included in the Sexuality Essence Combination for it is especially beneficial for those who have had traumatic sexual experiences.

Wild Potato Bush

An excellent remedy for anyone feeling burdened or frustrated by any physical restriction or limitation with their body. This Essence brings about a sense of renewed enthusiasm, freedom and the ability to move on in life. It is especially for those who feel heavy and need to step out of the old self, but who feel it is difficult to do so.

Wedding Bush

This Essence is excellent for commitment, whether in relationships, employment, the family or personal goals. It can be of great benefit for a relationship when one or both individuals are uncertain if they wish to work through the issues their partner is bringing up in them.

Waratah

Waratah is for the person who is going through the ‘black night of the soul’ and is in utter despair. It gives them the strength and courage to cope with their crisis and will bring their survival skills to the fore. This remedy will also enhance and amplify those skills. It is for emergencies and great challenges.

Turkey Bush

Made this Essence in Katherine Gorge, at the top end of Australia. This region contains the world’s oldest known continuous artwork in the form of Aboriginal rock paintings. It is appropriate that the Essence was made here as it is for creativity. It is for both the beginner and the artist.

Tall Yellow Top

Tall Mulla Mulla

Sydney Rose

The first aspect of the rare Sydney Rose to strike you is its intense, beautiful pink fragrant flower (about 2cms across) which does not fully open. Sydney Rose can grow up to a meter in height. Pink is symbolic of the love vibration and the healing quality of this remarkable Essence is to realize and know — on a deep heart level not

Sunshine Wattle

For people who have had a difficult time in the past and who are stuck there. They bring their negative experiences of the past into the present. Life is seen as being grim and full of struggle. When they look at life they only see bleakness, hard times and disappointment

Sundew

This Essence is for people who are vague and indecisive and do not pay attention to detail. For those who tend to ‘split off’ easily, especially when there is work to be done. This Essence will keep them focused on the present and reduces procrastination.

Sturt Desert Pea

Sturt Desert Pea is the floral emblem of South Australia. It is for deep hurts and sorrows. I have come across at least three Aboriginal legends connecting this flower to grief and sadness. This is one of the most powerful of all the Essences and, like so many of the Bush Essences, it can help the person bring about amazing changes in their life.

Spinifex

Spinifex is a native grass which prefers the arid and semi-arid areas of inland Australia. This was the first Essence made from a grass species. It is for those who have a sense of being a victim and having no control over illnesses, especially those with persistent and recurring symptoms.

Southern Cross

This is another Essence made in the Stirling Ranges of Western Australia. It is for those people who have a tendency to feel that they are a victim, that life has been hard on them or that they have been hard done by. This Essence helps people to understand that they create all the situations that

Slender Rice Flower

Slender Rice Flower is for people who are racist, narrow-minded and lack humility. Humanity has, through its many wars, seen the grim ramifications of these attitudes. This Essence can be used for group harmony and conflict resolution when individual egos get in the way. It allows for greater co-

Silver Princess

This is another rare Eucalypt. Although widely cultivated there is only one remaining natural stand of this beautiful tree on a granite outcrop known as Boyagin Rock in the south-west of Western Australia. Of all the Eucalypts, there is none more attractive than the Silver Princess.

She Oak

An Essence which is very beneficial in overcoming imbalances in and bringing about a sense of wellbeing in females. It will benefit women who feel distressed about infertility. It removes those personal blocks that prevent conception.

Rough Bluebell

Philotheca

Red Suva Frangipani

The Essence of this deep blood red Frangipani was made on the coast near Darwin in the Northern Territory. It is unusual in that it does not have the sweet aromatic quality of other Frangipanis but rather a very heavy, musky odor.

Red Helmet Orchid

This Essence was made up under unique circumstances on Toolbrunup Peak, the second highest peak in the Stirling Ranges. Red Helmet Orchid helps a man bond with his child or children. It helps men to be aware to allocate quality family time.

Red Grevillea

This Essence is for people who feel stuck. It acts as a catalyst for those who know what they want to achieve but do not know how to go about it. It is for people who are too reliant on others. It promotes independence and boldness.

Pink Mulla Mulla

This annual is found in the stony country of the outback and has a striking, pinky-purple conical flower head. The Pink Mulla Mulla is for those who have suffered a deep spiritual wound long ago, often in their first incarnation, where they felt abandoned by Spirit which has led to a deep scar on the soul and psyche.

Pink Flannel Flower

Pink Flannel Flower, a very rare plant belonging to the Apiaceae family, is of the same genus as two other of our Bush Essences, Flannel Flower, and Little Flannel Flower. The Pink Flannel Flower is found only in the upper Blue Mountains where it is known to grow in a few isolated locations and even then its flowering is very spasmodic and unpredictable.

Peach-flowered Tea-tree

Peach-flowered Tea-tree is an Essence for people with extreme mood swings, hypochondriacal people and those who have a fear of getting old. It can also be used for people who get enthusiastic and then, for no apparent reason, lose that enthusiasm. It is for those who do not ‘follow through’ on their goals and convictions.

Paw Paw

For the assimilation and integration of new ideas and information, especially where there is a tendency to feel overwhelmed by the quality and quantity of that information. A feature of this plant is its very narrow stem which, at the top, branches into a mass of foliage to bear large and ponderous fruits.

Old Man Banksia

For people who are weary, frustrated and disheartened by setbacks. This Essence helps to bring a spark into those people’s lives who are heavy and slow moving. They tend to be reliable, dependable people who steadily plod on, often hiding their weariness while battling on with unceasing effort.

Mulla Mulla

Mulla Mulla is for the personal recovery from the shattering experience of burns from heat or fire. This Essence reduces the negative effects of fire and the sun’s rays. It is for those with a fear of fire or flames (often from a past life). If this fear is unconscious it will often manifest in a lack of vitality,

Mountain Devil

This Essence helps one deal with feelings of hatred, anger, jealousy and the major blocks to expressing love. It is for people who tend to be suspicious of others. Mountain Devil helps to develop unconditional love and acceptance. It helps one express anger in a healthy way and so develop sound boundaries. This may open the way to forgiveness.

Monga Waratah

Monga Waratah (also known as Braidwood Waratah), a shrub up to 4 meters, has a very small distribution around the moist forested areas and creeks of the Mongarlowe River near Braidwood in New South Wales. Its flower is the same red color as the more common Waratah

Mint Bush

This Essence like many others was made in the Valley of the Winds in the Olgas (or Katajuta) in central Australia. Mint Bush helps one to cope with the dross being burnt off before emerging at a new spiritual level.Just prior to any such initiation there are usually spiritual trials and tribulations

Macrocarpa

Macrocarpa is a Eucalypt that grows in the wheat belt area of South West Western Australia, the stands of which are becoming increasingly rare and very few survive today. This tree has the largest flower of any Eucalypt.Both the tree and the flower have a tremendous power to them and this comes out in its properties.

Little Flannel Flower

This Essence deals with the child aspect in us all. It addresses the expression of playfulness, being carefree and spontaneous joy. It is for people who regard life as a very sombre and serious experience. It is also for children who tend to grow up much too quickly,

Kapok Bush

Mount Barnett, an Aboriginal Cattle Station on the rugged Gibb River Road in the Kimberleys, was where I made this Essence. It is for people who have a tendency to give up very easily, who are easily discouraged. It can also give people an overview of a plan or situation and then allow them to work it through sequentially and be able to bring it to fruition.

Kangaroo Paw

This Essence is for people who are ‘green’ and socially inept. They do not know how to properly interact with other people. They can be very insensitive because they are so focused on themselves that they miss the cues and needs of other people around them. They can be very self-centered.

Jacaranda

Jacaranda Essence is for people who dither, never completing things because they are constantly changing what they are doing. There is a fine distinction between Sundew and Jacaranda: Sundew deals with dreamers (the ‘space cadet’), whilst Jacaranda is for those who dither, are ‘all over the place’ and are always changing their mind.

Isopogon

Isopogon is for people who live very much in their heads. They are dominated by their intellect and there is often a separation between their heart and head. This Essence, like Tall Yellow Top, connects one’s emotions (heart) with their thoughts (head). It especially benefits those people who control through stubbornness.

Illawarra Flame Tree

An Essence for those who suffer from a great sense of rejection, or who feel ‘left out’. This rejection is deeply felt and is very agonizing for the person. The Essence is also for self-rejection, or for a person feeling apprehensive about a new experience, e.g. parenthood, or where there is a fear of responsibility.

Hibbertia

For people who are strict and regimented or even fanatical with themselves or for those who use their knowledge to gain an upper hand. They constantly devour information and philosophies purely to make themselves better people but often without truly integrating it. In the positive mode, these people will be accepting of

Gymea Lily

Also known as the Giant Lily, this extraordinary plant bears large red flowers on a huge terminal head atop a stem of up to four meters high. Being so high the flowers are not seen clearly from the ground. This remedy is for excessive pride and arrogance and helps bring about humility.

Grey Spider Flower

This is an Essence to deal with extreme terror, especially terror experienced in life-threatening situations or psychic attack. It deals with panic and nightmares. The Essence will restore faith and trust. Interestingly enough every time I picked this flower to make the Essence I came across a spider.

Green Spider Orchid

This remedy was also made up in Gariwerd (The Grampians) Victoria and is very much aligned with higher learnings, philosophies and deeper insight. This Essence can assist in working with telepathy, to attune a person to be more receptive to not only other people but also other species and kingdoms.

Fringed Violet Flower Essence

Fringed Violet is for treating damage to the aura where there has been a shock, grief or distress e.g. from abuse or assault. This remedy maintains psychic protection and is excellent for people who are drained by others or those who unconsciously absorb the physical and emotional imbalances of others.

Freshwater Mangrove

This flowering tree grows beside fresh water creeks, billabongs and swamps in the Northern Territory. The healing quality of the Essence is to release and heal mental prejudice, allowing the heart to open without prejudgement. The prejudice of Slender Rice Flower stems from direct personal experience whereas

Flannel Flower Essence

Flannel Flower almost begs to be touched and felt, since the petals of this flower resemble the sensuous texture of flannel. This Essence is for people who are uncomfortable with emotional intimacy as well as physical contact and touching.

Five Corners

Five Corners Essence resolves low self-esteem, lack of confidence and diminished self-love. This tall, proud shrub gets its name from its fruit which has five corners – and this corresponds to the anatomical position of a body with arms and legs spread,

Dog Rose of the Wild Forces

Found only in Victoria, this Essence was made up from a plant quivering and leaning over the surging white water just below Mackenzie Falls, in Gariwerd, (previously known as The Grampians). This plant is commonly found growing close to the water and, like Dog Rose, it deals with fear.

Dog Rose

The striking feature of Dog Rose is that the flowers hang down and appear to have dropped and rounded shoulders, like a defeated person. Dog Rose is the Essence for treating fears, niggling little fears, not terror. Overcoming fear allows an increase in the flow of the vital force, quality of life, courage, and self-esteem.

Dagger Hakea

For people who feel resentment and bitterness and hold grudges against those with whom they have been very close e.g. family members and old lovers. This resentment is often not openly displayed. The plant gets its name from the needle-like barb that grows on its leaves.

Crowea Flower Essence

Crowea is for people who are feeling ‘not quite right’ with themselves and are just a little out of balance. It is an excellent Essence for people not sure of what it is they are feeling and is great for worry. It is for those who always have something to worry about,

Bush Iris

This was one of the first Essences to be prepared. It is an Essence to open people up to their spirituality and to access the doorway to their higher perceptions. It allows the trinity to flow into a person and is an excellent remedy to give someone who has just started meditation or ‘conscious’ spiritual growth.

Bush Gardenia

For renewing passion and interest in relationships. It helps draw together those who are moving away from one another, busy in their own world (career, life, etc.). It is as if this Essence helps to turn the individual’s head to reconnect to see what their partner is doing and feeling and to discover what is needed to bring them back together.

Bush Fuchsia

This Essence assists with problem-solving and improves one’s access to intuition – it helps a person to trust their own ‘gut’ feelings. It allows for a balance between the logical/rational and the intuitive/creative, i.e. the integration between the male and female aspects.

Bottlebrush

This Essence helps people move through major life changes and the overwhelm that often goes with those changes, especially retirement, menopause, adolescence or death, etc. It ‘brushes’ out the past and allows the person to move on.

Boronia

This is the Essence for resolving obsessions – thoughts, events, things or ideas which are stuck. It leads to clarity and focus. It combines wonderfully with Bottlebrush for breaking habits and addictions and for dealing with an ended relationship when there is pining for the other person. It also enhances focus for creative visualization.

Boab

The Boab Tree is found only in the Kimberley region of northwest Australia. This is one of the most powerful of all the Bush Essences and has brought about profound change. Boab clears negative emotional and mental family patterns that are passed on from generation to generation.

Bluebell

Made in the Olgas, one of the main spiritual centers in Australia, this Essence helps to open the heart. It is for those who feel cut off from their feelings. The emotion is there, but is held within. They are subconsciously afraid to express it for they fear their feelings of love, joy, etc.

Black-eyed Susan

For people who are impatient or always ‘on the go’. These people are continually rushing and their lives are always overflowing with commitments. This Essence enables these people to slow down, to reach that still centre within and find calmness and inner guidance.

Billy Goat Plum

For feelings of shame, self disgust and self-loathing. For those people who feel revolted and dirty about sex and feel unclean afterwards. It can also be for feelings of revulsion about other physical aspects such as acne, eczema, a large nose, etc.

Bauhinia

Made up near Geikie Gorge in the Kimberleys, this Essence is for embracing new concepts and ideas. There may be some hesitation or reluctance, initially, in coming to terms with these. It can even help when there is a person who is annoying you or whom you dislike.

Banksia Robur

Banksia Robur is commonly known as Swamp Banksia as it is usually found by creek banks. This Essence addresses temporary loss of drive and enthusiasm due to burn out, disappointment or frustration. It is different to Old Man Banksia as it is for people who are normally very dynamic.

Angelsword

This amazing flower grows in the alpine region of Australia. Viewed from one angle, it has the appearance of a ‘fleur-de-lis’. The Essence is for reaching one’s own spiritual truth by cutting through any confusion or misinformation, ie. helping one discern the level of truth in ‘channelled messages’.

Alpine Mint Bush
