Indigo Essences

The Indigo Essence I’m in Heaven was made on this day, 12.12 in 2004.

The stone is a beautiful piece of Aquamarine set in Mica. While the essence was being made the essence making bowl was surrounded with pieces of Apophyllite and Peach Stillbite and Ruby.

Most of the essences I make take just a few hours, or even minutes, to come in but this one was cooking until the Solstice, 21.12.04.

Firstly, a look at the stones involved in making this essence. These stones all have many more qualities, I’m just listing the ones that I feel strongest:

Aquamarine - connection to higher consciousness, service to the world.

Mica - flexibility, self-reflection, growthand the helper stones.

Ruby - in this case, represents the birth canal, birthing these energies of higher consciousness and bringing them into the earth plane. I’m interested to read that Melody in her book Love is in the Earth says of Ruby ‘This mineral stimulates the heart chakra and assists one in the selection and attainment of ones ultimate values.’  This turned out to be central to the properties of this essence.

Apophyllite - this beautiful mineral is clear and very light and forms diamond shaped faces. A common representation of duality (male/female, ying/yang, heaven/earth) is the 6 pointed star, as in the Star of David, which is formed of two triangles. As we move out of duality and into unity consciousness, the triangles merge and form a diamond. Apophyllite helps us to connect the energies of heaven and earth.Stillbite (peach) represents a return to innocence and the colour peach represents the energy of heart and will working together.

I remember being amazed that the essence was taking so long to complete and then realised that it was making full use of the stargate that was open from the 12th to the 21st of December.

 When the essence was finally ready to be sealed I picked up the bowl and heard the first few words of the song Cheek to Cheek by Irving Berlin ‘Heaven, I’m in Heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak’. 

Wow, I thought, essence Prozac. The feeling was amazing. I felt like I was home, Paradise floated through my mind. A few days after the essence was sealed and bottled for the first time I made it into a spray with the addition of a few drops of organic rose oil. I remember making a label and sending some over to the ladies in Universal Essences as a present. They loved it and asked for some to sell immediately.

 I loved the spray as well and sprayed myself compulsively until the bottle was almost empty. It was then I began to realise more about the qualities of this essence.

I realised that aligning with the energy of this essence does bring about a feeling of being in Heaven but it also shows me clearly where I am not aligned to my full self, where I am making decisions out of habit, out of fear, out of conditioning rather than out of love and trust.

A good friend and fellow essence maker said to me that using I’m in Heaven is like having an angel sitting on your shoulder who pokes you every time you are about to make a decision and asks ‘is this decision in alignment with your highest good right now?’

So I’m in Heaven can help when

you have decisions to make about your future

 you find yourself repeatedly making fear based choices, for example I’d better take this job (even though I don’t like it) because I’m afraid to really step out and follow my dream

when you are feeling a bit fed up with your life and need reminding you that you need to change the decisions you are making.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY I’m In Heaven and thank you for coming into my life.
