Barrel Sponge - turquoise blue/indigo

Keywords: protection from mental negativity, clarity of thinking

barrel Sponge is a clarifying and strengthening essence for the mind, which enhances relationships by cutting out the action of negative thoughts between individuals, so protecting the thinking of anyone who takes this essence. 

It can also protect one from negative thought forms taken on from the environment and may be of great value in any group situation.

The immediate perceived effect of this essence is the cessation of ‘fuzzy’ or disharmonious thinking and its replacement with clarity and clear purpose.  It brings the mind into harmony with all the other subtle bodies because by realigning with the astral body it is being reintegrated with all levels of the being - the astral body being the coordinator and integrator of the whole being.  This strengthens and clarifies the thinking, and in the process of realigning the mental negative and disharmonious thought forms, this then acts to protect one's thinking from negative interference.

This makes this essence very valuable for examinations or mentally testing times, as it helps us to gather our thoughts in a clear and strong way. It gives our thinking some strength and resilience in difficult circumstances.

It is a communication enhancer between people for enhancing commonly held perceptions and increasing real heart contact.  It has the dual function of sharpening visual perception and enhancing heart to heart contact, so that there is a fuller appreciation of the beauty of the natural world, and the human mystical connection with all things as a result.

By enhancing the astral body to overcome inertia it directly stimulates the heart center.  This has a synergistic effect on the heart centers of those all around one, increasing the energy flow between them.  This produces an attunement and an enhanced communication between people, and communication becomes more heart, and less head centered.  Thus sincerity and honesty increase with a real sense of caring.

Combined with the increased visual perception of the natural world around one, it becomes an essence with profound ecological implications. Gossamer Parasol has the ability to restore a sense of wonder in the natural world, because the mystic appreciation of life is awakened as the heart centre is ignited in people - this is because the 4th cosmic ray of mysticism works only through the heart centres of human beings. This is a classic sea essence as it works under the mid turquoise colour frequency, which directly stimulates communication from the heart, which is the main function of turquoise

Gossamer Parasol - mid turquoise

Keywords: enhances heart to heart communication

It is a very special essence for enhancing the relationship between humans and those in the angelic realm who guide human destiny.  It specifically enhances clairaudience with angels and also makes us more aware of light and the quality of light around us.

          It is intended for the light workers of the New Age to give them a real support and boost in their co-creative work with angels, and is initially meant to tune them in to the sounds of the higher realms, and the unspoken words of angels.  In time abilities can develop where the spoken words of angels may be heard, but that is an individual gift, not universally bestowed by this essence.

        It helps a person to attain a state of inner silence so that the very delicate sounds of the spirit can be perceived, felt and perhaps heard.  In conjunction with this enhanced hearing greater degrees of light may be seen and felt, although clairvoyance as such is not stimulated by this essence.  This will encourage a fuller experience of angelic contact and improve appreciation of the beauties of nature.

        This exquisite form of the Nautilus shell with its many chambers and vortical form (shaped like a vortex) shows a similarity to the human ear, and the sense of hearing.  The mother of pearl lining to the shell is a pointer to the beauty of the angelic realms to which this essence relates - the perfection of form mirroring the perfection of angels.  Even the rarity of Nautilus is a clue, in that it is an indication to the rarity and real value of the gift that this essence brings.

        The use of this essence should be guided as much as possible by angels, the obvious one being the Guardian Angel that each human has with them to protect them.  It is not an essence to be taken indiscriminately by those wanting angelic contact for reasons of personal power - for such people it simply won't work.  A degree of spiritual advancement is needed before this essence can act on a person.  Spiritual gifts of communication with the higher realms are contained in the astral body, so when it is activated by this essence they are developed better. 

Sea Dandelion - Bluish indigo

Keywords: Mental relaxation, relief of anxiety and tension, enhancement of telepathy

It is a relationship enhancer for people who suffer from mental tension, anxiety and being fraught with others.  It is universal in its scope and can help anyone to mentally relax and tune in to others around them.

 It is particularly recommended for group situations where diverse people may be thrown into very close and intense contact, and individual disharmonies and tensions may disharmonise the entire group and lead to conflict situations, if not resolved.

As it stills and relaxes the mind when taken, it also has a calming effect on the complimentary subtle body, which is the emotional body - this is also very useful in defusing tension, as it can prevent emotional antagonisms from building up.

An excellent individual therapy for anyone who suffers from mental tension, and it can have a transformative effect on any individual taking it over a long period of time.  Meat eating often causes great mental tension, so use of this essence would bring to an individual's awareness the need to cut down or cut out meat, especially red meat, from the diet.

By enhancing the mental body to overcome disharmony, there is a subtle harmonization of the thought waves flowing between people, and an increased ability to tune into other people's thought patterns - so telepathy is markedly improved.

Sea Fan - Coral (gold of wisdom and pink of calm & love)

Keywords: Calms anger, defuses emotional tension, gracefulness and smooth flow

It is a peace making (or peace producing) essence, for those who lose their temper easily.  People can get so wound up at times that they "explode" at others without any control or consideration.  This essence is universally applicable to anyone who has a problem with their temper, however slight or severe this may be.

It increases a person's ability to look objectively at difficult situations that make them angry with others before there is an explosive build up of emotion that needs to be rapidly released - this is what anger actually is.

It will stop us getting "wound up" in provocative situations, bringing the temper well under control of the mind, allowing for consideration and sensitive response.

The Sea Fan looks quite like a hand fan used by people in the past, to calm and cool hot temperatures.  It is effective either used once to help one face a temper provoking situation, or as part of a longer term treatment for those whom short temper is an ongoing problem.  It is also valid for those who provoke a bad temper in others, as it will help them to be more careful before provoking another to anger.

It produces gracefulness and harmony in movement with real poise, so it is excellent for dancers, such a ballet dancers, where grace and poise are all important. It helps us to come into harmony with the flow of life in a most beautiful way, dissolving disharmony generated by the ego.

Sea Pen - Mid Pink

Keywords: Gratitude, warmth and friendship

  It is a relationship enhancer which stimulates the feeling and expression of gratitude, kindness and caring for others.

This essence opens sensitivity to the giving of others to ourselves, and then produces a positive emotional response of real gratitude and appreciation - this in turn stimulates the desire to express that gratitude to the giver.

The form of this sea creature is that of an old fashioned quill pen in its inkwell, and whilst it does not stimulate writing abilities, it could be said to stimulate the desire to write and express gratitude.

Those in positions of power who are used to other people serving their commands as a matter of course, would particularly benefit from Sea Pen, especially if they get into the way of automatically expecting people to do things, without expressing thanks to them.

   We could call this a real 'Love essence of the Sea’, and it really stimulates friendship and closeness in relationships.

Good for teenagers who find it hard to say thank you. 

It is a self-protective essence for those who face a fearful adversary, and who feel unable to face the fear and danger that they would usually feel in this situation.  It improves the ability to sense danger and respond with courage and strength directly, and actually improves the relationship with the adversary as a result.

The appearance of the lobster is that of a frightening enemy, indeed its form is designed to frighten and intimidate its prey.  However, this may be overcome if it is faced boldly, directly and with skill - this is what this essence can help us with.  Also the lobster's complex armour represents protection - this essence can also help us to feel safe and protected.  Ultimately when the danger is faced and successfully dealt with, this essence enhances the telepathic flow of energy between us and our enemy, so communication and peace can result. 

More often than not, when we face our fears and danger head on, we find that our fear was not nearly as bad as we thought, and that we were much stronger than we gave ourselves credit for.  In many cases an enemy can become a friend.  All lobster essences work in this way though different species give slightly different effects .

This essence works by dissolving the mental blocks that we have about our adversary - in other words it prevents us blanking out any thoughts we have about facing them, because of our fear - as our thoughts connect fully so telepathy is enhanced, and so we understand them better as we become more sensitive to their feelings.  Courage and application to overcoming any danger is enhanced, further helped by the sharpening of our physical senses (the ability to "smell" fear or danger) and we become more alert, responding to any incoming threat more efficiently.  Any level of adversary can be better faced in this way.

This essence can also be used to tackle very deep psychological fears, which often come from past life experiences.

A wonderful problem solving essence, helping us to overcome problems and difficulties at many levels. It helps to give us more motivation and flexibility, helping us to decrease our dependence on others for things which we can do for ourselves.

Many people will benefit from this essence, but it is especially good for those who are weak willed or easily affected by others.  The energy that comes from using this essence attunes us to others socially and is conducive to good relationships with others. 

This essence is Universal in its actions, improving our visual perception and improving communication, and helps us to act in harmony with our Higher Selves.  It produces genuine initiative and responsiveness in us, especially to the needs of others, so helping independence of Being with a deep and caring social conscience.

Common Tropical Octopus works by helping the Causal body to become wholly positive - this improves leadership and gives us real inner strength to deal with anything.  By harmonising will energy in a positive way our flexibility to do things increases, and we become aware of how we may have used our will negatively in the past, to depend too much on others.  It also dissolves blocks in the Etheric body, so all sorts of things can be seen or perceived more clearly and lucidly.  We also clear the Etheric points where we have 'sucked off other people's energies - this is also part of its dissolving action.  It can stop us feeling we have to depend on others, for what we can do for ourselves.

Excellent work essence, because it can attune us to greater resources.

Possibly the most useful essence of the sea essences.

This is also known as King Crab and is the largest of the crabs, measuring up to 50cm in diameter.  This essence works on the emotional body only - it works by enhancing the emotional body in two ways: firstly by helping it to overcome negativity, and by helping it to overcome toxicity.

All crab essences are good for defusing antagonism or hostility in some way, and Horseshoe Crab defuses hostility or antagonism in group situations.  It is excellent when there are large crowds of people, where individuals are massed in pretty large numbers and there is a danger of anger or some hostility as a result.  Political rallies are classic examples, where use of this essence sprayed into the space where people are, or broadcast to; the place would greatly ease tension or antagonism, which might otherwise give rise to violence.

It will work in any social situation where there are traditional or historical reasons why people are hostile to each other.  It helps people to feel protected from the fear of hostility from others, as is shown by the thick, smooth protective shell of this crab. So it engenders a strong feeling of security in potentially violent or hostile situations.  It enhances positive emotions of compassion, love and solidarity with others in a group' opening the way to reconciliation where there are traditional hostilities present.

It works on the mass emotional energy field that a group of people generate, being less effective on an interpersonal energy field. 

It will help in the development of better relations between groups of people, who have been hostile to each other for political or social reasons - so it will be very effective used over a longish period of time where positive progress may be pretty slow.  It will aid negotiations by political and military people and help in the resolving of longstanding disputes, as it also enhances social order.

So it can give many social and national situations a 'fresh start', opening the door to the creation of positive relations. 

A key social essence.
