What are flower essences?

Flower essences are infusions of blossoms (at their peak potential) in spring water, preserved with brandy. They are ingested by placing drops under the tongue several times per day or diluted in a glass of pure water or hot tea and sipped slowly

How do they work?

Flower essences represent one of the most dynamic healing resources available on the planet. They work on vibrational levels effecting subtle, deep change on the soul and psyche. They carry life-force energy from the flower devas to our body's energy channels, working with the subtle anatomy, acting as catalysts to rebalance us spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, and physically. The essences hone in on where we need realignment and encourage the self-healing that is needed. One cannot overdose on flower essences.

For powerful, lasting transformation and well-being, flower essences can be used alone or in conjunction with other types of remedies and medications. These include gem elixirs that also act on a vibrational level, homeopathy and herbs which work mainly on physical symptoms with emotional/psychological benefits, aromatherapy (essential oils) that gently influence the physical system with emotional/psychological benefits, and pharmaceutical drugs that work on physical symptoms with potential for toxicity and unwanted side-effects.

Perhaps one of the most potent abilities of flower essences is in the prevention of latent disease or illnesses through putting us more in touch with our Higher Self where our true instincts lie. By bringing our imbalances and stuck energy patterns to the surface through self awareness, we can create better health in all of our human quadrants. The right combination of flower essences will facilitate this kind of self-healing.

The human energy system.

On the simplest level, a human body is a biomechanical and biochemical masterpiece. Beyond the physical is a complex web of multi-dimensional, etheric energy systems. These include the chakras, meridians, nadis, subtle bodies, personality, and polarities that are all connected with universal consciousness through our spirit and soul forces. Flower essence therapy is the only ingestible healing medium capable of interfacing with this entire complex system.

Do I need flower essences?

Most of us have places in our lives (inner or outer) that are not in balance and harmony. Consequently, we can all benefit from an appropriate essence or essence blend. Proper understanding of our process, situation, and issues will help guide us to a suitable standard remedy and the brief formula descriptions offer information to assist with choices. Also, use of a pendulum or muscle testing (kinesiology) are good adjuncts for determining which remedies will be helpful. For those with a complex healing strategy, a consultation to discern what your particular needs are may be indicated so that a personalized formula can be implemented. I, personally, have at least a half dozen formulas around at all times and use them as one of my support tools on a daily basis. Sometimes just a little energetic nudge can make a big difference.

On our journey toward wholeness, it eventually becomes necessary to confront painful issues and wounding that we have ignored or suppressed. Even though there are absolutely no toxic side effects from the essences, they do assist in uncovering and unraveling deep issues that need attention and can invoke strong emotional responses. For intense cases, professional psycho-spiritual counseling is recommended.

If you have health concerns, it��s a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional who is versed in holistic and alternative healing systems for guidance and support.

How will I know they're working?

First of all, essences are most beneficial for those who are already in a conscious healing process. You can't expect flower essences to be cure-alls or to instantly fix you, especially if you are not mindful. Also, you are not likely to experience a big "hit" from ingesting them. It will take from a few days to a few weeks for you to notice the subtle shifts taking place from deep within your being. You may notice a new attitude, feeling, or perspective, an ability to face a situation with more resolve, an alleviation of symptoms, more energy and vitality, or any number of nuances from your own personal state of affairs. If you are taking an essence that your body doesn'��t need there will be no effect whatsoever.

How long should I take them?

Unless stated otherwise on the bottle, once started, the dosage bottles are meant to be finished. It will take at least that long (approx. 4-6 weeks) for them to effect the desired vibrational shift. Some essences/formulas will take at least six months or longer to accomplish their task with your subtle anatomy. Liken it to a slow-growing root that eventually dislodges a giant boulder. Some formulas can be taken indefinitely or at intervals (i.e. Immune Boost, Insomnia, Crisis/Trauma, Anxiety/Panic Attack, Jet Lag/Travel).

Using your intuition to self-adjust your dosage and frequency is totally permissible and absolutely encouraged. It may or may not be wise to be taking more than two formulas concurrently. The major concern is not the number of essences you take but the synergy of the essences you are taking.

More benefits.

All of the High Octave Formulas from High Sierra Botanicals have several things in common: they invoke gratitude, balance and harmony, and greater insight.

When you use flower essences to facilitate your healing process, you are essentially inviting the nature spirits and the elements into your beingness. You may in turn feel a stronger pull to connect with the natural world��to swim in its rivers and lakes, feel the wind caress your face and hair, work the earth, getting her under your fingernails, feel the life-giving warmth of the sun and the rhythms and instincts brought out by the moon. You may find new ways to appreciate the infinite beauty and perfection of life and find more peace in the simplicity and complexity of who you are.

Blu-ray Disc

Blu-ray Disc (also known as Blu-ray or BD) is an optical disc storage medium. Its main uses are high-definition video and data storage. The disc has the same physical dimensions as standard DVDs and CDs.

The name Blu-ray Disc is derived from the blue laser (violet-colored) used to read and write this type of disc. Because of the wavelength (405 nanometres), substantially more data can be stored on a Blu-ray Disc than on the DVD format, which uses a red (650 nm) laser. A two-layer Blu-ray Disc can store 50 gigabytes, almost six times the capacity of a two-layer DVD, or ten and a half times that of a single-layer DVD.

During the format war over high-definition optical discs, Blu-ray Disc competed with the HD DVD format. On February 19, 2008, Toshiba—the main company supporting HD DVD—announced that it would no longer develop, manufacture, or market HD DVD players and recorders,^[2] leading almost all other HD DVD companies to follow suit, effectively ending the format war.

Blu-ray Disc was developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association, a group representing makers of consumer electronics, computer hardware, and motion pictures. As of December 21, 2008, more than 890 Blu-ray disc titles are available in Australia, more than 720 Blu-ray Disc titles are available in Japan, more than 1,140 Blu-ray Disc titles are available in the United Kingdom, and more than 1,220 Blu-ray Disc titles are available in the United States.^[3][4][5]

Origins

Philips and Sony started two projects applying the new diodes: UDO (Ultra Density Optical) and DVR Blue (together with Pioneer), a format of rewritable discs which would eventually become Blu-ray Disc (more specifically, BD-RE).^[8] The core technologies of the formats are essentially similar.

The first DVR Blue prototypes were unveiled at the CEATEC exhibition in October 2000.^[9] Because the Blu-ray Disc standard places the data recording layer close to the surface of the disc, early discs were susceptible to contamination and scratches and had to be enclosed in plastic cartridges for protection. In February 2002, the project was officially announced as Blu-ray,^[10] and the Blu-ray Disc Association was founded by the nine initial members.

The first consumer devices were in stores on April 10, 2003. This device was the Sony BDZ-S77; a BD-RE recorder that was made available only in Japan. The recommended price was US$3800;^[11] however, there was no standard for pre-recorded video and no movies were released for this player. The Blu-ray Disc standard was still years away as a newer, more secure DRM system was needed before Hollywood studios would accept it, not wanting to repeat the failure of the Content Scramble System used on DVDs.

Blu-ray Disc format finalized

The Blu-ray Disc physical specifications were finished in 2004.^[12] In January 2005, TDK announced that they had developed a hard coating polymer for Blu-ray Discs.^[13] The cartridges, no longer necessary, were scrapped. The BD-ROM specifications were finalized in early 2006.^[14] AACS LA, a consortium founded in 2004,^[15] had been developing the DRM platform that could be used to securely distribute movies to consumers. However, the final AACS standard was delayed,^[16] and then delayed again when an important member of the Blu-ray Disc group voiced concerns.^[17] At the request of the initial hardware manufacturers, including Toshiba, Pioneer and Samsung, an interim standard was published which did not include some features, like managed copy

PONGAL FESTIVAL

Four Days of Pongal

Lasting for over four days Pongal, a harvest festival is celebrated in the month of Shravan. Pongal literally means, "boiling over". The Tamil harvest festival is celebrated with decorated cows, processions and decorative Rangoli. Pongal is a sweet porridge made from newly harvested rice and eaten by all, even the animals. Each day of this festival has a special significance, however, it is celebrated more grandly in the villages, while the city folk mainly celebrate on the second day only. It is widely celebrated in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.The festival is celebrated for four days. On, the first day, Bhogi, the old clothes and materials are thrown away and fired, marking the beginning of a new life. The second day, the Pongal day, is celebrated by boiling fresh milk early in the morning and allowing it to boil over the vessel - a tradition that is the literal translation for Pongal (in Tamil). People also prepare savories and sweets, visit each other's homes, and exchange greetings. The third day, Mattu Pongal, is meant to offer thanks to the cows and buffaloes, as they are used to plough the lands. Jallikattu, a violent taming the bull contest, marks this day. On the last day, Kanum Pongal, people go out to picnic. During the Pongal season, people eat sugar canes and decorate the houses with Kolam.Even though Pongal was originally a festival for the farming community, today it is celebrated by all. Coinciding with Makara Sankranti and Lohri of the north, it is also called Pongal Sankranti and thus celebrated in some form in various parts of India.

On Thai Pongal, the family begins the day early.

The front garden is pre-prepared for this ceremonious cooking. A flat square pitch is made and decorated with kolam drawings, and it is exposed to the direct sun light. A fire wood hearth will be set up using three bricks. The cooking begins by putting a clay pot with water on the hearth. A senior member of the family conduct the cooking and the rest of the family dutifully assists him or her or watches the event. When the water has boiled the rice is put into the pot - after a member the family ceremoniously puts three handful of rice in first.

Then the meal (Pongal) is served with fruits (banana and mango) among the family. Later it will be shared with neighbors, friends and relatives. Although every household makes the food, sharing each others 'Pongal' is the one of the important features of the event.

Estrangements are healed and reconciliation effected. Indeed, Thai Pongal is a festival of freedom, peace, unity and compassion crystallized in the last hymn on unity in the Indian spiritual text the Rig Veda.
