Bunkum alert Man, what a scam this is: Essences Online. Selling flower essences—okay, fine, they're obtained from actual, physical flowers—but also "environmental essences" and "gem elixirs." There is no such goddamn thing as a gem elixir! You cannot extract juice from a gem! The dictionary definition for elixir does indicate that it can be a powder, which you could indeed get from a gem; but powder is not what they're selling. Nope, it's a liquid that has somehow been infused with the properties of the gem. In other words, it's water that they've looked at while thinking about gems. Same with the "environmental essences." I have to quote this, it's too priceless to paraphrase: The preparation of an environmental essence begins with the identification of specific elemental qualities in the environment that we wish to enter into a co-creative healing agreement with. We then extend an attunement from our hearts to the devic and elemental beings that represent these qualities. Through this attunement we communicate our love and blessings, and ask that the energies we have identified be transferred into the bowl of water that we have prepared. We accept the essence gratefully as the environment responds. The resulting essence is totally unique, as the vibrational qualities it contains can never be duplicated in exactly the same way.(This particular description is from the Alaskan Flower Essence Project.) So...yes, they are selling water. For approximately $11 an ounce! Oh, here's a quote from the Angelic Essences seller: Angelic Essences produce no harmful side effects and will do nothing if not needed.Right...because it's fucking water! Damn, I wasted all that time on a Yale education and I could've just been looking at water while thinking about gems and elements and angels. [ at 3:20 PM • by Abby • permalink • ] |
