Wild Earth Remedies
ANIMAL ESSENCES
Questions and Answers.
What are vibrational remedies?
Vibrational remedies are natural, energetic formulas which nurture you with the wisdom and power of wild animals. Animal Essences, like flower essences and gem elixirs, are "vibrational remedies" each of our essences contains the vibrational imprint and energy of the animal but does not contain any animal parts or odours. The most widely-used remedies of this type are flower essences. Other vibrational remedies include animal essences, gem elixirs, and starlight elixirs. Vibrational remedies are characterized by their energetic nature -- each remedy contains the energetic imprint of the animal/flower/gem/star etc from which it is derived.
How are Wild Earth Animal Essences made?
No animals are captured or harmed to develop these products. The essences are made during a ceremonial process in the Virginia wilderness. This ceremonial process includes attuning with and invoking the spirit of the animal involved. Often a small natural sample (less than 1 gram) of hair, feather, etc is used as a catalyst. The resulting liquid contains the energy of the animal but does not contain any animal parts. Wild Earth Essences have Native American elders who support their work and who have given it their blessing. They are totally committed to the preservation of wildlife, and donate 4% of every sale to organizations protecting North American Wildlife. When one takes an animal essence, it is the consciousness of the animal that interacts with our own consciousness. This interaction occurs in a gentle, supportive way.
What else is in the essences?
Along with the energy of the animal, each essence contains distilled water and a small amount of organic brandy (20%) as a vibrational preservative. Without the brandy, the vibration would quickly dissipate. (If you are alcohol sensitive, drops may be added to a cup of boiling water and the alcohol will quickly evaporate.)
How much and how often do I take the essences?
There are many ways to take the essences, and you can experiment and do what feels right to you. We recommend taking 5-7 drops, 3-4 times per day, but not with food. Of course, you may take them more or less frequently if you wish. With vibrational remedies, it is best to take them more frequently rather than taking more drops at any given time. Taking more drops is not harmful, just wasteful. It is fine to take two essences at a time if you wish.
Vibrational remedies may be taken in a variety of ways. You may taken them orally, by diluting them in a small glass of water, or they may be taken directly under your tongue. They are also just as effective by adding them to a warm bath. The effects of the remedies are heightened by quiet reflection and meditation upon the animal's qualities.
