The Greatest Gift of All
easing seasonal stress with vibrational essences
The joys of the holiday season can be greatly expanded by sharing them with
our animal companions. Watching them unwrap presents, savor special meals and
join the festivities adds their pleasure to our own. And if the peace and enjoyment
of the season become elusive due to heightened emotions and extra stimulation,
we can all rely on the power of vibrational essences to restore our serenity.
Vibrational essences are pure liquid infusions of flowers, gemstones, and other
gifts of nature. They act energetically and profoundly to resolve emotional,
mental, spiritual and behavioral imbalances. Essences are at the cutting edge
of modern day alternative health care, bridging the venerable wisdom of an ancient
healing system with the future of mind-body science.
Today unprecedented numbers of people are seeking healthy ways to enhance the
well-being of their animals. Essences are totally safe, gentle, affordable and
easy to use with anyone when properly diluted for specific species and conditions.
Their naturally healing vibrations are especially beneficial for animals in
urban environments, many of whom long for a direct connection to nature. Best
of all, animals love taking essences and respond to them very rapidly.
The growing popularity of essences is making them increasingly available. Many
holistic practitioners and pet shops provide good advice and ready solutions
for common problems. Essence specialists also furnish custom formulas for individual
needs and expert guidance in complicated cases. It’s important to remember
that best results require resolution of underlying causes as well as external
symptoms, and that medical and lifestyle requirements must be met when managing
emotional or behavioral difficulties. That said, numerous essences offer qualities
applicable to seasonal concerns.
Essences are highly effective for general calming purposes, and are entirely
free of sedative or other side effects. Many release stress, promote relaxation,
uplift moods and relieve upsets. Socialization problems and over-stimulation
may be addressed with essences for nervousness, sensory overload and self-control.
Essences for mental flexibility and acceptance of the way things are in the
moment support changes in routine, and if travel is involved others can allay
loneliness, anxiousness and motion discomforts.
Frustrations related to metropolitan congestion and social, time, and financial
pressures all contribute to seasonal tensions. When the holidays take a toll
on us, many of our animals assist us by absorbing our emotions. We can assist
them in return with essences that buffer negative energies, in addition to reducing
our stress. It’s valuable to remember ourselves when offering essences
to our animal friends. Taking them together amplifies their effects and is a
wonderful way to enhance interspecies bonds.
Sharing vibrational essences with our families helps us create a joyful resonance
in our homes, subtler but not unlike the inspirational music of the season.
Moreover, continuing to use them for a while longer may extend their benefits
beyond the temporal, allowing animals and people alike to flow through life
with more ease and grace. And when that happens, the harmonious blessings of
the essences turn out to be the greatest gift of all.
