Lots of updates, guys! I hope you're all well and happy, and keeping warm under this rather cold, bright sun that brings the snow as well as some random warmth.

I sowed tomato and cucumber seeds a week ago and placed them very neatly in the greenhouse which I had tidied completely and rearranged, ready for spring. Then it got really cold and I thought there was no way the seeds would grow, even in the greenhouse. Along came the gusts of wind we had mid-week and over went my greenhouse! What a mess - soil and pots everywhere! But sure enough, my seeds definitely won't grow because they've been flung out of their pots! Anyway, that's life. I tidied it all up and will sow them again next week. The moral of that little story is, of course, don't let a bit of a challenge - a turn of the wheel - put you off doing what you want to do.

Bespoke Herbal Hand Creams

Made just for you and the needs of your hands, and can include flower essences
I was inspired to offer this because my hands have suffered more than they ever used to since being a mum, and since I made my own hand cream for myself they have gotten so much better! They never feel dry anymore and the minute they do, I rub some on and it lasts hours. All details are on my herbal website - made for you with herbs, essential oils, and essences. There are also bespoke lip balms available from mid-April.

New: Daisy Flower Essence

Daisy Flower Essence

£5.95
View & Purchase
A beautiful, uplifting essence that allows you to feel cared for - like a child receiving a hug from their mum when they graze their knee. This essence is like kisses on your bruises (and may also be applied topically to bruises, diluted in some water). Helps with friendship problems, fitting in, finding your place, easing arguments; brings hope and a "free spirit" to conflicting situations; decision making; lightening up; feeling at peace with who you are.

Sold as 10ml stock concentrate.

​See also: Wood Spurge Flower Essence
​
(available from 8th April)

These single flower essences begin the range of Heart Warrior Essences, Its Between World Series containing Carer's Heart and Carer's Strength, will be available for purchase from 8th April (you'll hear about it in the next Newsletter).

The Return of Michael's Sword Auric Spray
from Heart Warrior Essences

Containing two KUTA Essences, as well as four beautiful pure essential oils (which includes Rose) and crystal and angelic energies, this very popular cleansing and transformational spray as been relabelled and is now ready for sale. Sold in amber glass bottles, postage is still only £3.95 to any UK address. (Tip: 50ml is the perfect handbag size.)

Thoughts for the Week Ahead

On the tail of my little greenhouse story above, I suspect a few challenges lie ahead for some people, and perhaps - based on other little synchronicities I've been aware of this week - along the lines of who we get on with and who we don't. The key here is to always ask yourself, "How is the situation that I am in benefitting me?" because you will be getting something out of it if you are still in it. Accept responsibility for that part - you get something out of it, whether that is financial, emotional, or whatever. Then ask yourself, "Is that benefit still worth it, or has that changed?" And you are allowed to change. Circumstances do constantly change, as do people, and you don't have to stay where you were. You have permission to leave.

On that note, below is my card for you that I've just drawn. Take from it what you will based on any words, numbers, and images, and have a wonderful and empowered week ahead.

Herbal preparations can be taken as infusions (teas), decoctions (boiled teas), tinctures (extracted and preserved in alcohol), and dried powders.
Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is well. I'm so excited to show you how everything is coming together. Let me start by introducing you to the Herbal Clinic area of the Kia Ora Lounge website (and of course, on actual location). Explore it all HERE. Notably, you will see there is a section about the Low-Cost Herbal Clinic which runs on a sliding scale, and will to some extent rely on a Pay It Forward scheme that I will trial through my Ko-fi platform (a platform I have been using for a while, but have never found quite the right footing with - let's see how it does used in this new way to support something so valuable to local communities and to health in general. You can jump ahead and take a look at the Pay It Forward Membership and the benefits that come with it. But there is no need to be a Member because ANY donation give to my work through Ko-fi at any time will help to support the low-cost clinic and my work as a herbalist.
The low-cost clinic only runs one day a month. If that becomes full and it is affordable to do so, it will expand to two days a month and so on.

Last week, I wrote about my vibrational essence system being relabelled and "rebranded" (not keen on that word - energy is not a "brand"! But you get my drift.) This is now underway with new labels having been designed and everything quite literally falling into place once I gave it my focus and asked for clarity. It will be two or three weeks before I can introduce you to everything that's new here, so please bear with me. I've been making vibrational essences since 2004 can you believe it - but it's just not something I consider myself as "doing". It's more like I follow instruction from Spirit and voila - an essence is made. So, I have been incredibly reluctant to call myself an "essence producer" as such (I still don't!) and this has led me to not wanting to do the whole labelling and product-facing thing. But I do make essences and it is what it is, and my instruction is to make them available to others somehow. I actually see making essences as part of shamanism; part of my shamanic ritual and living. I think that is my reluctance to "label" myself as a producer - I may never make more! I literally make them when "called" to.

Anyway: Carer's Strength, Carer's Heart, Aquarian Lion, Lemurian Ray, and Michael's Sword Spray... I've taken all my essences offline until I can bring them back in their new format (still as potent as ever - the content has not changed). Look out for that in about 3 weeks. These essences are just pivotal for this era we are in and the next ten years.

New Shamanic and Drumming Circles

I am still waiting to collect enough names to run new Circles. They take place on weekday mornings, I do understand it is an awkward time for many people, but new Circles will take off at the right time, I'm sure of that. The current Circles I run are closed as they are both full, but also, everyone in it has bonded and shared very personal things over 3 years. This happens sometimes, and it's beautiful - I am hoping I can facilitate it happening again with new Circles and new friends in the making, but there is no telling what a new Circle and group of people will be like. A Circle can grow to 15 people not all of whom come every month; or it can remain at 6 or 8 people, all whom create sacred connections with each other. I don't set rigid rules for Circles and allow the energy to go wherever it needs to go. The best way to know if and when new Circles occur is to sign up to this Newsletter. 

If you have not heard from Kia Ora or myself for a while, please do take the time to look at the Home Page, updated on 13th March, 2022 and very much containing all of what we do now. There is more to come as we grow, but this is the foundation now. It took 3 rocky years to build, but there is a beautiful solidity emerging which I'm in love with. I am so looking forward to seeing what else blooms. You may also want to take a look at my individual practitioner website which details my experience, skills, qualifications, etc.

My Thoughts for the Week Ahead

The third dimensional world we see around us matters because it is the physical expression of what is in our hearts and what we have manifested. A few of us manifest consciously. But most of us manifest unconsciously, not really thinking ahead to where all our reactions, actions (or inaction), and thoughts, and all the games we play with ourselves really lead. While we can alter and transform this physical reality with much important work in the ethereal planes and the Otherworld, we must not discount what is right in front of us including any challenges as well as the joys. These physical world challenges need transforming, too, and they need seeing for what they are (and what they are to you and your perception - what do they mean to your soul and how does that affect you?). This fundamental question and its answers are the key to transforming the challenges in front of you and living the life you really want to. It almost always starts with making hard decisions, though. Sometimes, really hard. These are transformational in themselves, so try not to be afraid of them. Often, the harder the decision, the more lives you are affecting and the more karma you are clearing / unbinding. We are in the era of BIG THINGS. Global occurrences (irrelevant of how you perceive them or which "side" you are on, if any) give us the chance for the biggest transformations possible in our personal and societal lives that ripple through time itself, affecting ancestors and descendants - the future children we don't yet know. If we are not afraid of this, we can embrace it, and see it for the exciting opportunity it is on all levels. Look beyond fear. Look beyond life and death.

Transformation begins in the ether - the mind, the spirit - but it ends in the physical reality in front of you. So ground that ether and make it yours. It IS yours. Your ether is unique. Your soul essence is unique. What you do or don't do really does matter.

Below is a card I've turned to help you with the above. I will not expand on it, but read the word on it, look at the picture, and let your intuition flow... see if it can guide you.

Have a wonderful week :)

Bright blessings,
