WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

31/12/2017

Artwork by Adelle Chodkeiwicz inspired by One Garden Essences

It's the last day of the year, and we turn our thoughts and feelings to where to now ... what do we want to do with our lives?

For some it's easy, we've already got the plans, made the bookings, paid the tuition fees and laid the foundations on a new relationship. It feels satisfying to have action upon our desires, passions and longings.

But if you're like me in past years ... sitting, pondering, yet not a stirring, an inkling, a clue of what to do, "where to go" fails to rise within. An irritated sighing harrumph takes place quickly followed by stabs of fear and panic. Finally the familiar, disappointing feeling of resignation is present, a "this will have to do" place, the one you hate so much, must be tolerated for a further term ... or does it?

Is this really how we are meant to be? Where is the passion, desire, the longing and the daring to explore possibilities? Because, in our soul, we actually have muscles of passion, of desire, of longing, of curiosity and creativity just waiting to be exercised and explored. We also have a God-given soul role, a unique, individual quality, our gift to the world, that no-one apart from our soul half has.

So why are they still unwrapped, sleeping silently in the dungeons of our soul? What is it going to take for us, to dare to to stir them, at the very least, awareness of their existence?

Creation of Divine Fearless Essence made from Ochna (Monkey Flower)

When I made the essence Divine Fearless in the later part of 2010, I was intimately living with fear. As the inspiration came for the creation of this essence, fear quickly rose to higher levels and continued to be so until the essence was complete. It was a day and night of challenging my fear - False Expectations Appearing Real.

The creek was raging after the previous days rain. In the closing daylight, the glass bowl had to be placed in the centre of the creek, which meant negotiating a series of slippery boulders. My childhood fear of water, particularly the creek of unknown depth and tricky pathway was challenged.

Then my addiction to control situations and events was the next to be challenged. Surrendering is really difficult for me. I like to scope situations for all possible events and make plans for how to deal with such things. I feared more torrential rain would wash to bowl down the creek. Broken glass would be scattered on the bottom and cause injury for some unsuspecting adventurer ... I had every conceivable scenario scoped, all born from my state of fear rather than trust and faith learned from all my previous experiences.

During this 14 hour period, I even had surprises from snakes, spiders and a roof bombing bush turkey.

As the first crack of light ended a sleepless, fear-full night, I quickly dressed, complete with my purple gumboots and set off to see if any of my fears had come to fruition. As I peeked through the vegetation I spotted the flower essence bowl still firmly in place. Now I had to make the journey across the boulders to retrieve the bowl in tact.   Despite all the dramas I could possibly conjure up in my imagination, all was well. I had been proven wrong ... again.

After the mother tincture was complete, I felt to celebrate by crashing through one of my biggest fears, the fear of the unknown, by diving into dark murky pond just down stream from where the essence was made. You'll not be surprised to know that I survived the challenge and felt hugely triumphant for all that proved me wrong.

For 2018, I have a big list of passions and desires for all areas of my life. One Garden takes up a big slab of this space. For the past recent years I have been questioning, praying and seeking truth about One Garden and how best to share these amazing essences and their new found information. I found myself full of fear again, so I took a dose of Divine Fearless. Immediately I connected and felt my fear. It was like I was on a high diving board preparing to jump. So many excuses and reasons of not to jump immediately came to the fore, but like diving into the murky pond, I metaphorically jumped. Tears, shaking filled my space, I surrendered to it which began to process them out of existence.

Stunning Orchip Strap

I have been experimenting a lot with the essences and I would like to share with you the essences that have helped me the most when I get lost in my doubt-filled world. I will start with the most profound one and it comes from The Deepening Essence range - Pathfinder made from the Orchid Strap and Fuchsia.

This essence inspires and encourages you to feel into your soul and dare to find, exercise and develop your soul muscles of passion, desire, longing, curiosity and faith muscles. This surely assists to become more aware and connect to your soul longings and concurrently identify the betrayal of these longings and what are you settling for instead of going for and committing to the treasure of your soul.

Divine Path is a blend essence that contains Divine Purpose, Divine Courage, Divine Passion, Divine Desire, Royal Heart (Longing), Sweet Surrender and Divine Fearless. This blend is perfect to inspire, encourage and connect with our Soul Role as described earlier.

These essences are all available from our One Garden E-shop.

I'm so looking forward to put my passions and desires for One Garden into action in 2018. I want to be of service in the most loving way possible.

I begin 2018 with a treasured new relationship for which I will share with you later about the power of love and my experience with it.

I wish you all a blessed and exciting 2018 of expanding and growing your soul.

With love
Christine

Dawn of the New

Hello,

When I began learning the new material about the soul I had to look at things in a completely new way. The soul is the ultimate engine room of absolutely everything that's happening in our life, especially through the spirit (energetic - chakras, meridians etc) body and the physical (muscles, bones, organs, body systems) body. The human soul is the highest and most complex creation in the entire universe and can only by felt, not viewed by us. We observe, feel and experience our current soul condition and its level of love is in operation every moment of our life. It is the real-self containing our under-developed (with potential to be developed) attributes and qualities such as; love, truth, unique personality, emotions, passions, desires, aspirations, intentions, unique skills, and soul mind. It's also the storage place of all our memories, unhealed emotions, blocks, false beliefs, soul errors and injuries we've collected since conception (awaiting release). This is the focal point if we are to permanently heal spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically. The way to access, develop and release these from the soul is through sincere desire, feelings and honest expression of emotions. Using the mind only to change things does not alter the condition of our soul.

This is something we simply cannot skip over because it will be still there in a hundred thousand years if we do.

As I gain more understanding of the basic function of the human soul, I'm constantly curious of the role and workings One Garden Essences has in their interactions with us. Because I've been told, they and other modalities, only have the capability of influencing the spirit and physical bodies. Its when we engage feelings that we can connect to the soul.

However, from my experience in taking One Garden Essences over the years, I definitely know that after doses, I often get emotionally triggered or increased awareness on specific issues relevant to the essence I'm taking. This gives me a perfect opportunity to choose to express/process these emotions in order to heal my soul on that particular subject. When I do this effectively, particularly when I receive Divine Love, positive changes occur physically, spiritually and with my interactions with the world.

So I am always deeply grateful for people taking the time to observe and record their experiences with One Garden Essences. This helps me to learn more about their function. I would like to share two recent testimonials with you.

The first one is from Thalia, a soulful musician, published through her blog a description of her personal experience with the essence Divine Father made from the Daikon flower. Here is the link to Thalia's blog

The second one is from Tracy, a Flower Essence practitioner from Western Australia. Tracy speaks about here experience with Divine Remembrance

Hi Christine

I wanted to touch base and let you know that the Essence Divine Rememberance has had a significant impact on me.

I've cleared some very deep emotional junk - from some very deep places. It sort of conjured to one big breakthrough - so deep yet so profound.

I cleared a lot around my father and my thought processes. I was also able to articulate my needs to my partner in a way that I finally feel heard. Expressing this was paramount and to finally receiving understanding from my husband (and) has put (us) more on a very strong and aligned foundation.

I am forever grateful. I would love to order more down the track and include it as a go to Essence within my own clinic. I felt it was the type of healing that sneaks up on you and the clearing can't be controlled so the mind can't get in the way.

Amazing Christine.
Many Thanks
Warmest regards, Tracy

Thank you Thalia and Tracy so very much for taking the time to write about your experience. If you have an experience with our essences you would like share, we would love to hear from you.

Divine Growth Update

Since I wrote my last blog on Divine Growth, I learned something more about change vs difference and I would like to clarify this point.

When I talk about growth and change, I am talking about growth in love in the soul which is an upward, progressive movement. When there's a "change" by choosing something different, it may in fact be moving sideways not upwards in order to avoid confronting issues. Anytime there is an avoidance of issue, things appear to be changed but eventually the truth of the matter reveals itself by situation/s with the same dynamics occurring again.

For example, there may be a move to another location because of an aggressive neighbour. At the new place circumstances may appear to have changed and better, but within weeks/months another aggressive person may arrive on the scene. This is God's Law of Attraction, an educational process at work which is always a perfect invitation, offering an opportunity to seek the true emotional cause for these situations. Once the wounding in the soul is emotionally processed, we are unlikely to attract these situations again. This will then reflect authentic positive growth and change in the soul especially if Divine Love is received.

I'm very busy in the background upgrading the information on our website. I'm quietly excited about this as it feels there is progress occurring. This week I have published the keywords that accompany each essence. It may not sound like a lot but its been a feeling process with each one...and this takes time. Here's the link if you want to have look, I have also added some new photos.

Thank you again for being here,

With Love
Christine

Born to Grow - Progress Vs Stagnation

Divine Growth (Lettuce flower - Lactuca sativa var. crispa)

I was in my new veggie garden this morning and was astounded by the substantial growth in the seedlings planted only a few days before. What struck me the most was how much these plants clearly want to grow. They are doing what's most natural to them, what they are designed to do... to grow generously, bloom and seed for the next generation! Particularly if they have all the supportive elements such as nutritious soil, sunshine, water and space to accommodate their growth.

Lettuce Seedings

I began thinking about the characteristics of the lettuce that created the essence Divine Growth and what we can learn from it. Because I'm convinced that nature is a major classroom, giving us a wealth of opportunities to learn about the workings and laws of the universe and how we can directly be inspired.

As part of the vegetable family, lettuce are rarely rated the hero of the dish compared to say the avocado, tomato or basil. The leaves are the humble, yet essential ingredient of salad and rarely do we see it flower. As gardeners, we believe the lettuce is ripe for picking when its heart is full and firm, but in truth, it has whole new towering heights to develop. Until I made this essence, I never knew lettuces flowered. When the flowers do arrive, it's usually due to either a neglected garden or a wise gardener seeking seeds to harvest for the next crop.

What does this demonstrate and symbolise for us; what lessons can we derive from the humble lettuce?

Red Leaf Lettuce growing tall to flower

Every little and big thing, living and non-living in the entire universe is organised and governed by God's Principles and Laws. And what I found is this humble little lettuce and subsequent essence very coolly symbolises aspects of the Foundation Principles of Life and Development. Which means in short, that every living creation is designed to grow, develop and evolve expansively while being lovingly supported, encouraged and sustained. Its the natural force of positive change that is operational 24/7 throughout the entire universe. The objective of this principle is to ensure the whole of the universe (including us being the highest creation) develops in love and that nothing ever remain stagnant. Learn more about Life and Development Principles.

The stems of this lettuce appear blotchy, bruised-like purple, which indicates the presence of pain and struggle when we actively resist or oppose this natural force of change and growth (growing pains). However, the confident yellow flower triumphantly emerges as incentive to embrace growth and its potential rewards.

I found it interesting that the day we made this essence coincided with the launch of the first album, I Dreamed A Dream for Susan Boyle. Susan is a Scottish born singer who won the hearts of millions when she enthralled us with her amazing voice on Britain's Got Talent in 2009. Believing herself to be of below average intelligence, she did menial work. She loved to sing and would perform at small venues. Throughout her life she was bullied, mocked and gained the nick name of "Susie Simple". Susan's mother urged her to try out on the highly rated show despite abandoning earlier attempts due to her lack of confidence. Susan has carved out a hugely successful career as a singer on the world stage. Later she found out her condition was misdiagnosed and she has above average intellect. In that moment, before the world, she moved from being perceived as ordinary to extraordinary. The flower within her bloomed, despite the enormous battle she had faced along the way.

I feel strongly that the courageous story of Susan Boyle and her successful launch, correlates with the powerful message the lettuce relays.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to develop, to be with the force, without impediments and delusions of our true talents and value; to constantly grow, unfolding greater attributes and expressions of love. But surrendering, going with the flow is not something we historically embrace readily. Often our choices become our worst own enemy.

Jesus on the resistance to growth,

"there will be a lack of joy and happiness, a lack of connection and stimulus, which means there is a lack of passion, direction and action that will keep people lost. The song in their soul, in their heart is silenced. There is a loss of hopes and dreams and desires."

Some of the ways I/we block our growth are:

resisting love and truth, especially God's version of love and truth
avoiding developing a personal relationship with God
rejecting loving support, guidance, nurturance and protection
resisting confrontation of falsehoods
resisting emotional awareness and expression (lack of humility)
being intellectual only - falsely believing the mind has greater power over the soul and emotions
lacking trust and faith in our most natural processes
avoiding risk of mistakes even though mistakes are an essential part of growth (skepticism, cynicism)
ignoring feelings of pain, dissatisfaction and un-fulfilment, which are natural promptings for change and growth
ignoring dreams, desires, longings, passions and curiosity
unwilling to confront addictions to comfort, of status quo - same old, same old, no rocking the boat, even though the current state hurts like hell
conforming (sacrificing) to family, friends and societal demands, expectations and versions, rather than embracing own unique desires, passions and direction
refusing to forgive, apologise, heal trauma and loss
refusing to take responsibility for our choices and desires
resisting higher learning about the ways of the universe
resisting risk, experimentation and exploration
resist becoming awareness of ourselves; our unique nature, abilities, addictions, childhood injuries, unloving behaviour, shame and disappointments
living in the past - reminiscing and nostalgic - pining, being addicted to happy or unhappy memories to avoid present situation and future potential
restricting and controlling others free will and curiosity
choosing stagnation by limiting choices, avoiding opportunity and the Law of Attraction (eg solitary, living in cave, introspection)
choosing short cuts, quick solutions, short term effects to avoid feeling emotions and discovering real causes
failing to learn from and implement the soul lessons

Some of the ways we can embrace growth are (I've noticed big shifts when I apply these):

will-fully opening our soul and passionately desiring to receive God's love and truth
praying directly to God to help to grow attributes, ie courage, faith, humility, honesty, patience, compassion, love for truth,
positively addressing the above-mentioned blocks
embracing and surrendering to the natural positive force of change
engaging positive will, desires, passions, curiosity and creativity

Divine Growth Essence - Movement Vs Stagnation

Personal Experience: I began to feel sad that I had become desire-less, passion-less and lost. I had become stagnant and in pain (physically and emotionally). I didn't know why this was happening but obviously I didn't want to know.

I prayed and told God how I was feeling and asked her to give me a hand to grow my desires. I then connected to the essence of Divine Growth. I began taking 8 drops twice per day for about a week.

After the first dose, a growing awareness of the nature of my stagnation developed and I realised how much over the past months I had settled into some sort of quasi-comfortable place... a this 'ill do place. I had ceased doing activities that nourish me; like long walks on the beach or rain-forest, reading or watching educational programs, photographing and writing. I had also become reclusive. I was choosing not to challenge my little box by questioning or being emotional. I just didn't want to feel anything other than superficial comfort. I was going to work, coming home and plopping on the lounge and that was it. I was actively blocking my personal growth.

Even though over recent years I had been learning a lot of new stuff, I was keeping it predominately intellectual by failing to put it into emotional practice. No feel, no growth!

As Divine Growth Essence took up a greater residence in my system, I connected to painful feelings of failure, of disillusionment, of shame and the exhaustion that holds these in place. I was sick and tired of trying to engage my desires - only to fail again. I was throwing a tantrum, angry with God, believing that she was ignoring my prayers and it was pointless to continue any efforts because my desires were seemingly unimportant.

So I owned up to these feelings with God and asked her to be with me while I expressed and processed. I was using my will to avoid the pain of feeling terrified of failing and... succeeding. For I felt totally inadequate of doing this work, that God had made an error in giving me this love of flowers and healing. I felt abandoned by God.  I so desperately wanted short cuts, someone else to do the work, to tell me what to do at the same time desiring the glory of it.

My addiction of self punishment wanted to kick in but this time compassion quietened its ranting.

The accusations and blaming I have towards God are simply untrue. God doesn't support addictions and remains steadfast until I'm willing to accept her truth. I'm learning through repeated experience that God is an awesome, loving parent, who wants me to learn the ways of love and truth and be responsible for my creations. God is also incredibly patient and compassionate. God knows everything about me and the qualities she's placed in my soul and therefore has absolute, unwavering faith in me. Its me who doesn't have the faith or the trust. Its me who abandoned God.

I love God for being such a loving, ultra-wise parent. She is soooo very cool!

As this process began to clear, my curiosity grew, more questioning began, I wanted to learn more, do more, create more. It suddenly became intolerable to live without a garden, something that has always been so much a part of my life. I prayed for God's help with this and a couple of weeks later I moved into a new place with two garden spaces for me to play in. So many other things began to change.

Assistance: The Divine Growth Essence reflects God's Foundation Principles of Development and inspires us to grow awareness of our opposition to them and what this opposition causes and the effects. And encourages engagement of will to face upwards with desires and longings.   It also reminds us that we can ask God to help us grow our courage and other attributes that remain underdeveloped within our soul. God wants to help us grow with her nourishing love and perfect laws.

I'm curious to explore God's truth of the connection between the causes of physical problems and the principle of development. Such as growing pains, tumours, development defects and other abnormalities. I'm coming to understand God's way is perfect and precise, its us who cause the errors.

There's an old saying "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink". I feel certain that the Divine Growth Essence and other One Garden Essences inspire, encourage and support, but its us who has to decide and act...or not. Our self determination is in our hands; surrender to the loving force of change or oppose it and suffer the consequences. Not as punishment but as the cause and effect when there is an absence of love and truth.

Who may benefit from Divine Growth Essence?

People who are suffering from: apathy; laziness; stubbornness; long-term pain & suffering; growing pains; repetitive negative patterns; stuck/stagnant; indecision and feeling uninspired.

Spring is the season of inspiring natural growth, fueled with fresh life energy and vitality. Despite these natural promptings, we can suffer greatly from our falsehoods and addictions. We can let our dreams live under our bed, so that's when we can benefit from Divine Growth Essence given from God's inspirational garden.

Related Essences - Divine Expansion, Unfolding Potential, Divine Perseverance, Divine Liberation and Divine Foundation.

May we be more humble to the force; work with the force of life, of development, of change. Because its painful not to. And we risk missing out on the potential of greater experiences of joy and happiness. We are created and designed perfectly to grow. Take actions, risks, explore, experiment, embrace mistakes and persevere.

Maybe we've got to be more like the lettuce; so excited, embracing the force of life and change with all our will and passion, facing upwards towards the brilliant source of all light. Allowing and opening to God's love, to generously pour in, to nourish our soul with the greatest natural food for transformational growth.

I notice that every time I receive Divine Love, I notice significant changes occur within and around me. Things improve and become easier.

Thanks to the lettuce - from small things big things grow.

May your soul-garden grow with love; I will leave you with these words on growth and stagnation from Jesus.

With Love,
Christine

What The Bull Says...

5/4/2017

Divine Courage flower - Bull Thistle (Cirsium vulgare)

White Brahma Bull - Thanks to Tile Artwork by Julia - found on internet

In 2009, while driving down a mountainous, country road, we encountered a herd of white Brahma cows meandering across the road. We stopped the car while the farmer attempted to move them out of the way. The bull of the herd seemingly sought me out and remained standing by my window, staring intently at me for what seemed like forever before moving away. I was very glad the window was closed because at that moment my childhood fear of bulls kicked in big time, I felt like a petrified tiny girl in the presence of a giant.

I didn't know what this event was about at the time but instinctively knew I would be coming back to this specific place to make a One Garden Essence. Within a few weeks I returned one morning to make an essence with an intriguing purple flower I previously found on the side of the road. I was surprised to find upon arrival, that two new essences were to be made under the influential canopy of the Divine Timing flower (Lantana). Divine Purpose (Verbena) and Divine Courage (Bull Thistle) were created side by side in the pouring rain.

Leading up to, during and post creation of an essence, I'm given many informational signs through feelings, impressions, symbolism, metaphors and events about the spiritual messages being relayed through the essence. These messages are teachings about the ways of God's universe, inspiration, encouragement, indicators, suggestions and guidance for our awakening journey. I don't always understand these messages as I have to find ways to interpret them. Often I will be reading or watching something and recognise the connection between the data collected during essence making and what I'm currently being shown as a form of translation. It all depends on how aware and open/desiring I am to receiving the translation. I feel its about timing (Divine Timing) of my readiness/desire to learn more.

Divine Courage gestating, imprinting its message into the water - (Bull Thistle)

The reason I recount the making of these two essences and my encounter with the big scary bull, is because I've had an epiphany.

Over the past few years I have been in deep reflection and questioning about my work as creator of One Garden Essences. This questioning is because in the early stages of creating these essences I made a commitment to myself, the essences and to God, to tell the truth about the role One Garden essences have and what they do. I stopped teaching about these essences because I felt I was off track with my commitment. I've had long pauses in communication through this blog, because I didn't feel I knew the truth with certainty. I still had so many questions without answers.

There has also been much demand from within and outside sources for me to get on with it, just write something, do something, get out there and promote the essences, get them to the people. Its easy to cave into the pressure, the seduction to conform to the way everyone else is sharing their creations. To join the marketing highway and say anything that people want to hear.

So this is where the Brahma bull comes into it, the message he was giving me that day.

Be courageous to stand your ground with truth, don't let fear dictate your actions. The off beaten track can feel fearful, lonely and never ending, but the comfortable super highway, where everyone is heading, can be deceptive and take you to "difficult to turn around" places. Be courageous in your commitment despite opposition, criticism and judgement. Stay true to what you experience to be true and don't give up.

Christine Thelma Phoebe Cobden

What an incredible gift I was given that day, but my fear (lack of courage) prevented me from receiving it. Over the past months I have been trying out my courage muscle, a quality that God places in all our souls. I have began standing by the truth that I have learned to trust due to re-occurring experiences. I have been receiving a lot more information about the essences after increasing my prayers, desires and passion for God's truth. And I've been doing a lot more experimentation with the essences.

I received a lot of confirmation about my work with One Garden when learning Understanding God's Loving Laws, a week-long seminar presented by Jesus and Mary. This seminar is available for free on Youtube. Click here

When I wane in my courage, the essence Divine Courage reminds me to go to God and pray for God to help me grow my courage. What I have experienced many times is the essence Divine Courage points me in the right and loving direction based on God's truth whilst honouring my freewill to chose otherwise.

I have also decided to do some essential housecleaning by reverting to my birth name of Christine Thelma Phoebe Cobden.

In 2006 after my 2nd marriage finished, I decided to legally change my name to Christiana Rose. I felt ashamed, embarrassed and viewed myself as a failure. For as long as I can remember, even as a small child I had always been hugely embarrassed by my birth name. I don't know why I felt this way.

So when the idea came to me to change my birth name (with the help of spirit influence), it was a way I could distanced and deny my true feelings and take on a new facade. I wanted to feel special, powerful and righteous, to block out the feelings of insignificance, weakness and ordinary-ness. The truth is, God doesn't make any of her children ordinary.

When I began calling myself Christiana Rose, people often stated how lovely this name was. This filled me with pride and glory, confirming for me that I made the "right" decision. But it was an error and now I want to correct this error and feel the emotions that I have been blocking all my life.

A guide said to me that it doesn't matter what you call yourself as long as your deal with the emotions I was avoiding that caused me to change my name, to want to create a new facade. I clearly hadn't done that.

As soon as I made the change, all the old deceptive feelings flooded in, this time I knew what to do - feel them, emotionally process them and asked for God's Love and Truth. It felt relieving to be honest, courageous and closer to myself.

Over the past months I have been trialling a new blend essence called I Love Me. I've had some powerful helpful experiences and personal revelations while taking this essence and I am ready to share this with you. It was while I was taking this blend that I made the decision to change my name, taking steps to move from the fake me to connect with the hurt me , which in turn leads to the real me. I feel so many of us have similar issues.

I look at the One Garden Essences that sit in the box and I can vividly recall every birth. I am so grateful for each and every one. And I'm so grateful for the teachings of Divine Truth that have helped me understand the messages of love and inspiration God relays through the flowers. These essences are not following an old path but carving a new one. This means I have to be open new learning, there isn't a road map for this and it takes a lot of courage to step forward. At the moment its a like a winding dirt track, but I feel I'm gaining greater experienced and understanding of what One Garden's role is and I look forward to sharing this with you.

I have removed a lot of the information from our website in readiness for more accurate truth. This is a process as I'm very committed to only writing what I feel to be true of God's version.

Until next time,

With love
Christine

the Wealth Of Golden Chalice

23/10/2016

1 Comment

Hello

Its spring in Australia and I have been really enjoying feeling the influence of so many beautiful flowers blooming around me.

One particular flower surprised me when returning from my early morning walk at Broadbeach, here on the Gold Coast. I'd been living at this property since April and never realised that one of my favourite flowers lived here too. My heart jumped for joy when I saw the magnificent Golden Chalice (Solandra maxima) flower peeking through the foliage of its vine chosen support tree.

This flower offers so many gifts, teaching us about God's way of the universe; about love, healing, abundance and the number five.

The shape of this flower is chalice-like, giving us the first inspiration to be open and receptive to love.

Golden Chalice flower gifted its knowledge into water creating our flower essence - Golden Chalice

This will challenge and expose the false, deceptive things we have learned about love from the worlds false version of love. Feelings of abandonment, desolation, deprivation, helplessness, hopelessness, barren-ness, and similar states and experiences that drive motivations and states of greed, selfishness, neediness, blaming, suicide, depression, grief, sadness, infertility, failure to thrive etc.

This flower tends to thrive in lush, tropical conditions. If we enter a rainforest, we find the environment pulsating with life; lush, moist, colourful, vibrant, thriving, diverse, productive and regenerative. It engenders the feelings, the sense of hope, of faith, of unity. Quite the opposite to a desolate, barren landscape.

As a gardener, I spent time in areas where there have been long term drought. The surface of the ground hardens and cracks due to deprivation of moisture. The longer the deprivation, the harder and deeper the crust becomes. When the rains come, the ground is repellent, the years of waiting caused resistance to water, becoming water proof. The water just runs off, but if the rain is persistent, a softening occurs, seepage begins. At first, small amounts of water molecules are allowed in and gradually openness to larger absorption scale directing water to lower, deeper levels of the earth.

Then the process of fertility begins. Every element becomes sexually active. Life becomes abundant, flourishing, thriving, and blooming - generous, plentiful and regenerative. The difference between the two states is vast.

Contrast of drought and plentiful flow

L'Uomo Vitruviano (Balance of Man), is a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci around 1490. The drawing is based on the correlations of ideal human proportions with geometry described by the ancient Roman architect Vitruvius in Book III of his treatise De architectura. Vitruvius described the human figure as being the principal source of proportion among the classical orders of architecture.
~ Sourced from Wikipedia

The perfect balanced wo/man! I have wondered about the true meaning of this for so many years and in the past years I have had some interesting revelations helping me understand this on a deeper level. Here's what I reckon based on my research and experimenting.

The Golden Chalice uses its broad brimmed cup-like form to represent our soul as an open receptacle to receiving God's Divine Love. The stem is hollow, like a drain, symbolising the perfect design of God's system of healing. When, we with our heart's thirsty, longing, willing desire for God to pour her love and absolute truth into our soul, as it flows, we become so overwhelmed we cry deeply and soulfully as we experience the feeling of such pure love and belonging. Our tears wash away the dirty marks of errors and betraying falsehoods. We become replenished and transformed by the highest form of love, specifically designed like mothers unique milk to feed her starving children, who have been deprived of this love, this knowledge for millennia by the world's false version of love.

Golden Chalice Flower - six pointed star hollow stem

Each time this sincerely occurs, we become cleaner, clearer and a step closer to our perfected original state. Once we clear all the untruth from our soul, the promise of transforming into a new state, the new birth becomes more real. This process is so elegantly demonstrated by the humble caterpillar, as it naturally begins to spin its silky cocoon, it does so with intrepid faith, letting go of every familiar aspect of itself in ready-ness to become a new creature.

A seed, which holds within, all the original perfected design elements required to thrive, flourish and bloom as intended, needs a nurturing environment, climate, sun, water and temperature. When something goes wrong, its because there has been influence of error.

When we are in pain, struggling, working hard just to survive, it tells us we are experiencing error. In order for us to open our soul, to change our experience of life from hardship, living in the barren wastelands, deprived of real, everlasting love we need five key things constant in our life - Love, Absolute Truth, Faith, Will/Desire and Humility. Like the hardened, disillusioned, drought-stricken ground, our experience has made us resistant to these. But if a little openness is applied, we may experiment and experience something new.

We can simply take this offering of inspiration translated from the Golden Chalice flower and put into action every day. We also have received and imprinted information from this flower into water, like taking an energetic photograph and made an essence for us to take if we require temporary boost of encouragement of our desire to engage in the transformation process God has specifically designed for us, the direct royal bloodlines as God's children.

I was once told by my guides that I could write a large book on each flower. God has placed so much information in each plant for us to learn about so many subjects that give us keys and clues to live as designed. My passionate desire is to decode this information and apply in my own life. I also have a desire to share it for anyone who is interested.

No matter where you live in the world, you are my brother and sister. So may we learn to generously and abundantly love each other, living in God's garden, gratefully receiving the bountiful gifts God desires to give. And through this, may we flourish in its glorious wealth.

Much love
Christine

exploring my wild garden

27/6/2016

Image found on internet - source and creator unknown

Where have I been?

Sometimes you have to leave the field fallow before re-planting and in a sense that’s what’s been happening to me. So the purpose of this blog is to update you about what’s happening with me and One Garden Essences, our Research Project and also to announce the creation of a new series of One Garden Essences called "The Deepening".

The creation of One Garden Essences is primarily about my personal spiritual journey. After making the 88th Essence, Gate of Heaven, in Bali two years ago, I returned home and was confronted with lots of poignant, personal questions. I've been Soul-Exploring my inner, wild garden – something I haven't been able to rush, hence the long gap since my last post.

By going deeper and deeper into my journey in creating and examining One Garden Essences, as Alice in Wonderland would describe, “Things became curiouser and curiouser”. As one question was answered, a dozen more would arise. The foreign landscapes of new information became more wild and tangled as they challenged my desperate addictions to control, fear of making mistakes, to be right and to "know" everything. Oh how I would love to describe every tantrum, but I'm sure you would tire of the repetitive and predictable nature in which they took form. I can't say that I'm more patient or humble to the process, but I have a growing faith that it's the perfect way for God to help dismantle my arrogant, outdated ways and I'm now starting to value the divine gift of this process.

Divine Truth - Red Riding Hood (Dipladenia), sorting facts from fiction

I've had to face truckloads of uncomfortable truths about myself – owning up to how much I've been hurting myself and others with my learned false versions of love and falsehoods about the world. And there are mountains more to face. This is a vital part of the ongoing awakening in the emotional awareness process. There has been a lot of self berating and harsh demands going on, at times it's been ugly. But then I would pick up my well-used One Garden Guidance Cards. The flowers would offer encouraging reminders of God's truth and loving laws ... that love exists for me ... and now is a perfect time for compassion, kindness, patience, courage, repentance and forgiveness. Since early childhood, my love for flowers and nature has been my passion and inspiration and they continue to be so. God knocks on the door of my soul, teaching me in many ways and one of the primary ways is using the medium of nature.

Over this period I stopped teaching and writing because I'm currently more of a student than a teacher. It's like I'm attending the biggest and most complex university course ever. The new information is simple in nature yet complex in application. It's seriously important to be sure of what I'm sharing with you is true. Because if it's not true I'm causing you damage by perpetuating untruth in a world that lives precariously unbalanced on lies.

Divine Wisdom - Antarctic Beech shares God as the ultimate source of wisdom and teachings is available through our personal relationship with her

Divine Guidance - Cardwell Lily and Elephant Ears - Go directly to God with all of our questions on every subject

The only way I can ensure authenticity is to continually experiment with developing my relationship with God and use these Essences in my own life. The essences Divine Wisdom and Divine Guidance remind us of God's Truth, that every individual can go directly to God for guidance on every problem or query about our life. God, as creator of the universe and our soul, is the ultimate authority on every subject.

I understand and have a growing faith through personal experience, that as I unravel the mysteries of my life, so can you using the processes that I'm learning.

I have much work to do as my knowledge and understanding about One Garden has grown and refined. All the information on each essence needs to be rewritten on our website and reference manual. I have an aspiration to further develop the One Garden Cards and other related services. I am developing my desire and passion to begin teaching again. In what form, as yet I do not know, but every time I take our essence blend Creative Expression or Innovation my courage and commitment to One Garden grows.

Research Project Outcome

Our One Garden Research Project failed as we were unable to collate any real data due to the lack of participants or errors in completing surveys. However, we were encouraged by the information received, although inconclusive, in seeing definite patterns forming with people who were taking the true essence as opposed to the placebo.

We recently talked with Dr Luli Faber about the project and we're now considering doing a further project involving case studies. There is the possibility of using some new equipment becoming available to test for specific and various responses when essences are taken. As we learn more about the potential of negative spirit influence upon equipment or techniques normally used to measure vibrational frequencies, we have to choose carefully how we conduct our future experiments.

The new information Jesus is teaching about the soul and its function causes me to seriously doubt the truth of previous teachings on the effect vibrational medicine has. We know for certain that due to the fundamental nature of the soul and God's governing laws, the essences have no influence directly on the soul, but do have influence upon both the physical and spirit bodies, but actually how this specifically occurs is still unknown. In the early stages of creating One Garden, my spirit guides asked me to discard what I had learned in the past and be open to new information. Now I'm understanding their promptings. The soul is the most complex creation in the entire universe, the highest pinnacle of God's creation. The soul cannot be physically viewed by either humans on earth or by persons in the spirit world until a person becomes highly advanced in the celestial realm (through the Gate of Heaven). In the meantime I will keep praying to God for guidance.

We would like to thank the people who did participate and for their contribution. We will be contacting people to let them know which test bottle they had.

the deepening essences

Like the beginning of One Garden Essences, The Deepening Essences began as a complete surprise.

Like their name suggests, they inspire us to dive much deeper into the process of our emotional journey home to our true nature and developing a relationship with God. So far I have made 9 essences - False Notions, True Perceptions, Ultimate Conclusions, Pathfinder, Wayward, Pinnacle, Confrontation, Vagabonding and Survival.

They describe and inspire deeper engagement into de-constructing our facades, confronting deeper truth, resolving our unworthiness errors, getting back on track and processing our terror. For more information on these essences click here .

However, I will need to update the information on the website as my understanding of their messages deepened when I recently attended two x 6 day seminars with Jesus as part of an ongoing series called "Education In Love". I can see how these essences reflect much of what Jesus shared.

At this stage, based on my experience with The Deepening essences, I would recommend that only people who have knowledge and experience with emotional processing take them. We all need to learn how to become "real" emotional human beings again in order for us to totally resolve and heal all soul injuries. This will be a key part of our training program.

Sorry, it’s been so long since I last wrote, but I have needed the space to do the inner work, while this inner work will be ongoing, I feel there is some consolidation of faith in me and it feels affirming that I've been able to write today, in the trust that I can now speak more honestly with you. I do have a growing commitment to dismantle my facades and expose even a tiny peak of my true self.

If you have any questions about One Garden Essences, my personal journey or anything I write, please feel free to contact me.

Bye for now,
Christiana

one garden scientific research project

20/1/2015

No Longer Available

Curiosity is a marvelous quality of the human soul. It causes us to investigate, explore and experiment - to learn more about ourselves and the world in which we live.

One Garden Essences has taken us to new places and prompted many new questions. The new information being presented about the soul, challenges what we previously understood about how flower essences work.

There are some things that we know for certain and there are some hypotheses that need clarification and substantiation. That's why we want to put One Garden Essences under the microscope, so to speak, with a scientifically controlled study that looks at the effect these essences have on our emotional experiences.

Dr Luli Faber (PhD), author of Heal Your Own Pain and brain/pharmacology researcher has kindly offered to facilitate a scientific research project using One Garden Essences.

Would you like to help us?

We're looking for people to participate in this research project. The program will be ongoing for a period of time, so you can join at any time.

What's involved?

It will be a "double blind" scientific study looking at the effect of One Garden Essences on emotional experiences.

The experiment will compare two weeks of normal activity with two weeks of taking either a placebo or a One Garden Essence - and neither you nor the maker of the essences will know beforehand which one you are taking.

There is no cost to you apart from a small amount of your time per day to record your observations. We invite participants to be involved over a period of 1 month, which includes taking an essence and recording your experiences.

The data will be collected from the simple questionnaires that you complete.

To become involved requires these actions:

Fill in the contact form (click here)
We will email a consent form, project instructions and a questionnaire for you to complete
Record your observations for the first 14 days whilst not taking an essence
We will then send via the post an essence marked either A or B
Take the essence and record your observations for the next 14 days
Once completed, return forms to us by email or post.

People will be unable to participate if:

pregnant
beginning another therapy
commencing, changing or increasing medication
experiencing any new and major ailments in the past month

It is more cost effective if participants have access to email and MS Word.

Our fInal Essence

The pearlescent Blue Lotus Lily (Nymphaea caerulea), representing the pearl nature of the Gate of Heaven

The dramatic sacred geometry of this version of Blue Lotus Lily (Nil Mahane?)

The other day, my husband arrived home with a beautiful flower to plant in our garden to join many other flowers that represent the creations of One Garden Essences. Since its arrival we have been looking at this flower daily. And its presence has brought a poignant divine truth to both of us. It’s been a very emotional time for us, for which we are now feeling deeply grateful.

I realised it’s time to tell you about this beautiful flower, actually two flowers, that we created our final 88th essence in Bali earlier this year. They are two versions of the Blue Lotus Lily in the essence is called the Gate of Heaven. A fitting name for the end of a journey, a place that all humanity is destined to arrive at, if desired.

From our first essence, Royal Welcome, to the final Gate of Heaven, each one map our journey home, our real home that awaits every person if we desire to humble ourselves to embark on such adventure.

It’s taken this length of time (from March to now) to tell you about this essence because of the gift of its potent qualities and message. Actually, it stopped me in my tracks, so much so I couldn't continue another step until I addressed the issues that it so lovingly pointed out. this is a saml

What hit me was the question that it posed that was connected to every little nook and cranny in my life. The question contained a weighty singular word – SINCERITY. For this word challenges every wall and mask, every addiction I’ve ever created in an attempt to survive my life. And now I’ve come to a confronting place, that if I am really going to survive, all these walls MUST come down.

God's beautiful artistry in this flower is breathtaking.

To help me understand the offerings of this essence (and the offerings of so many other One Garden Essences), I was guided to read a book called The Gate of Heaven, written by a celestial spirit, Aphraar (formerly Fred) about his journey through the spirit world to the Gate of Heaven and what it takes to walk through. His journey was recorded by medium Robert James Lees (1849-1931) in three books – Through The Mists, Life Elysian and The Gate of Heaven.

If I can sum up in a single word what affords him the ability to arrive at such a destination is the quality of his SINCERITY. (According to Laws of the Universe, when we pass we don’t simply front up to the pearly gates and answer a few questions posed from St Peter, and then pass into a beautiful place as angels. No, we have to work our way there by increasing our love and removing our errors in love.) For it is his sincerity and his desire for love, for truth, for humility, for use of his will, for his service, for his curiosity that carries him and attracts the finest and sincerest teachers to show him the way.

I heartily recommend these books if you desire to know more about our life as a human, because through example, he guides us so elegantly to the essential truths about how to live our life prior and post physical death – I really should say passing, because there is no such thing as death.

A gift from our dear brother Aphraar, living in the celestial heaven, offering his personal experience as inspiration and truth about the authentic journey to become angels.

Over the past months, my soul has given me much to work with and to be honest, I was not a willing student. I’ve been kicking, shouting and tantruming most of the way. I’ve been saying....but, but...what about this and what about that...arguing intellectually. And then I would swing into self punishment...oh, I’m such a bad person, nobody would ever love me. Not much humility going on here; instead of feeling and listening and surrendering. It could have been so much easier if only I was more open to truth and to the enormous amounts of love being offered. If only I could be more like Aphraar. In the end, which is not the end, just a place where I allowed the truth to sink in, I realise it’s about getting real, to stop tinkering insincerely around the edges and plunge my heart and soul into it, dive in and exercise by applying massive doses of sincerity to every aspect of my life.

This answers many questions as to why things have not been progressing as I would have liked. It’s because I’ve been luke warm in my attempts, full of fear of failure and of success. It’s easier to sit back complaining and blaming

Gestating together

This essence does not magically increase my sincerity, that’s neither its offering nor its job. It acts like a beacon that shines so brightly illuminating the area that needs my attention, where sincerity is lacking. Showing me undeniable truth, X marks the spot, like a wonderful loving counsel, an answer to my prayers. I have free will and I can engage my will to ignore or address issues.

This is why I have stopped teaching and put so much on hold with One Garden, because I’ve had to attend to some really important personal issues that were not in harmony with the sincerity of One Garden’s offerings. It’s been a time of tidying up and questioning. I was shown the difference and importance of emotional, experiential, knowledge versus intellectual information. Each flower of One Garden offers new ways and resources for us to explore. This takes time and patience to experiment and validate its authenticity. So much of our life is full of glossy marketing, swaying us to give up our free will and hand over to blind faith believing that it will do something, when it doesn't (a lesson from essence of Divine Free Will). I don’t want One Garden Essences to be part of this system.

Peaking through the glass with her beauty, showing us the way.

Graeme and the Gate of Heaven

I invite you to explore and experiment for yourself, to follow your own gut instincts with One Garden Essences.

To reflect this more tangibly, we are working on a project to assist you with this and when it’s more evolved, I will let you know more about it. Hopefully soon.

One Garden has been a very personal journey, challenging me every step of the way and has revealed many of my addictions. That is what I have come to know about love, real love. At this stage I am still unsure who has been guiding One Garden Essences into existence, but whoever they are, I know for sure they know a lot about Divine Truth and Divine Love and what is required by us to become loving humans. They certainly have guided me to awesome resources for soul development. And even if my soul has only grown a little from the experience, I feel deeply grateful for what I have learned and the essential change in direction that is required for my development and liberation.

From Royal Welcome to the Gate of Heaven, the 88 essences offer an amazing adventure for the soul.

I want to thank my husband Graeme and dear friends Daniela and Nicole for their love and friendship.

God bless and may all of us take up the invitation that the Gate of Heaven offers, to sincerely desire to open to God’s absolute truth and allow the offerings of Her Love that waits to flow into our soul, to change us forever.
Much love, Christiana

Here is my beautiful sister Dewa, who generously opened her heart and home and gave us these beautiful flowers. Even though we only met for a short time, it was as if we have known each other since forever. Dewa, you are a gift from God.

The Heatwave and Drought of Rage

23/1/2014

1 Comment

Greetings and Happy New Year!

We're sweltering in a heatwave here. And it was exactly this time last year when we taught a One Garden Workshop and birthed the essence Rage in the gorgeous Bunya Mountains.

Extreme weather brings out the worst in us. It pricks our comfort zones and diminishes our tough resistance until all hell breaks loose. We certainly saw some classic examples of this last year.

I was just going through some of my writings on the essences I have not released yet thinking that I was creating a new range. But after a recent consultation with our Celestial Guides, we are now including them with our main range and calling the whole range One Garden Divine Flower and Nature Essences - Emotional Gardening for the Soul. This means that we now have 82 stock essences. I will gradually release these new essences as I complete the writing and place them on our website for purchase.

The other BIG change is we're phasing out the use of alcohol. Guided by both our customers and Celestial Guides, we have been shown that more and more people are now sensitive to alcohol due to the damage it causes with our health - even in small amounts. So we're now creating our essences with saline solution.

Rage - made from Stinging Nettle and Lace Bark Tree

If we are not healing and making progress, it could be because we are stalled in our anger and rage. Anger/rage is a physical response and must be physically released in order to heal. There are both adult and childhood rage. However, most of the rage originates from our childhood when we were not allowed to be angry or unresolved injuries that have been left to fester over time. Rage covers our fear and grief. Annoyance, irritation and frustration are indicators that deeper levels of anger are present. Often people who feel the heat are harboring suppressed rage.

The essence Rage, is a catalyst for change, a code breaker, it breaks through long held, negative, emotional patterns making way for true loving expression to emerge.

Rage is an intense form of anger, likened to a volcano. Whilst a volcano can remain capped and dormant for long periods of time, the potential of eruption is always possible. Rage is normally associated with heat, but resentment is the highest form of rage yet it is a cold, steely form of rage…it’s when we become white with rage. Manipulation, cold-heartedness, calculating, callus intention to do harm are elements that are often associated with heart-harden criminals such as Hitler, Anthony Hopkins' portrayal of “Silence of the Lambs” type crimes. But whether we want to know it or not we all have this potential within us and while this remains in us, we contribute through our universal interconnection web, to the heinous crimes taking place around the world. But coming back to our own backyards, these denied emotions cause massive havoc and sabotage in our own lives.

Rage ties up all other emotions. With rage we feel a sense of false power, strength, rebellion and righteousness, which is not love. Rage helps to separate/detach us from our fear and grief; emotions that are associated with weakness, vulnerability and powerlessness. To be in a place of suppressed rage, we essentially are in “lock down” where no other movement can be expressed. The opposite place to rage is surrender, surrendering to tsunamis of grief is opening our soul to love and assistance from the purest forms of love.

It’s interesting that we fear the surrender to our grief, yet it is paradoxical that when we surrender to these emotions, we become powerful and allow transformational healing.

Rage can cause energy deprivation experienced in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or similar. It takes massive amounts of strength and resources to suppress our rage and keep all other emotions locked up.

Stinging Nettle in traditional herbal medicine is used for blood purification. When rage is present it muddies and thickens the blood making the blood cells sticky and malformed. This hinders nutrient absorption and distribution. The colour of rage in our spirit body is a muddy, maroon colour, the same colour in the centre of the Lace Bark flower.

Rage is an emotion that we are fearful of. We feel out of control. For we have experienced rage in our childhood and remember how terrified we felt.

One may ask, "how does a person become murderous and rage-full?" A little puppy bounded up to me when I returned from making this essence. A puppy is innocent, trusting and playful. But if that puppy grows up living a life of deprivation, abuse and torment, it would become savage and attacking. The same applies to ALL humans who are born innocent and loving. But growing up without love, in an environment of abuse, torment and neglect, the child grows into an adult full of rage and vengeance. In the absence of love, we gain survival strategies which take on many addictions. This may be debilitating illness that requires others to care for us or living a life of bullying as simple examples. It is often true to say that “sugar sweet”, placating people are likely to be full of suppressed rage, because placating is part of the control and manipulation for them to avoid their pain.

Our friend and One Garden Practitioner, Samantha Kay offers some observations.

“A point of interest in its Doctrine Of Signatures, that I remembered today is that you can stroke a nettle plant 'the right way' & not get 'stung' as the barbs only go one way. This is like us with our rage, you can meet our addictions & rub us the right way but as soon as you don't, watch out! The barbs bite!!

Nettles can be used to rebuild the thyroid gland when it has been destroyed by our rage, and also for men who have prostate issues. Also very beneficial for kidneys - where our rage turns into grudges & resentment, unforgiveness….

As you would know the botanical name is Urtica dioica - interesting link to Urticaria (hives), I also found it useful for treating skin rashes & irritation due to its blood cleansing properties. Where homoeopathically it is going to address the anger manifesting on the skin

Nettles contain both histamine (involved in allergic reactions) and formic acid (same as what makes ant bites sting) AND its own antidote to that - a compound which acts as an anti-histamine - interesting as the rashes & skin issues are so linked to childhood anger & rage…and God provides us with an antidote - natural love - until we are able to get to the root & transform it……

It was so beautiful the way we were shown what I feel for myself is the biggest block to my rage - shame through the brachychiton (Lace Bark) flowers. I looked it up - Aboriginals used the bark of the tree as shields, interesting that the flowers are petal-less?”

Prior to making this essence during our level 1 workshop, we were experiencing a long period of drought during the wet season. For many weeks the storm clouds would tease on the horizon and then move away. Australia was experiencing extremes; record breaking heatwaves, stuck in holding patterns, taking people to the brink. This is what our soul feels when we suppress our rage. As we began speaking about the essence we were making the next day, an intense rainstorm broke through the barrier. The intense flow was sheer relief for us. We collected this water for our essence the next day.

The following week of making this essence, the eastern part of Australia was inundated with record floods and cyclones. Raging flood waters gouged out the dry creek beds and spilled over the banks across the land. I have always been a keen observer of the interplay between our collective suppressed emotions and the weather. If we want change in the weather then we need to deal with our suppressed emotions.

There was an intense ethnic feud raging in the suburbs of Ipswich near Brisbane. Everything was reaching extremes, highs and lows, the pendulum was swinging from one extreme to another.

The tree that gifted its flowers to make the essence with the nettle plant had its roots exposed when the road was carved out of the earth. To get to our deeper emotions, we need to access the root, the source of our pain.

The influencing movie for this essence is the "Life of Pi", a beautifully crafted story of a young man named Pi and a tiger adrift and alone at sea, both vying for survival. I feel the tiger was representing the rage the young man was trying to control. The most poignant moment in the movie was Pi’s surrender to God. The essence Rage encourages the sweet beauty of surrender. By laying down our defensive weapons of resistance to being defenceless to the ultimate power of love, we win the war. Rage prevents us from having sustaining relationships and resources.

During the ensuing weeks after making this essence, I tested it out. This was the code breaker that I desperately needed. For I was in a Mexican standoff against Love, God and the world. I found myself being an unloved little girl, arms folded, stomping in a rebellious tantrum, telling the world that I was not going to love because the world didn’t love me, so why should I give the world my love. So, do you think this is a place to invite love into my life? I found myself being the tiger, roaring and lashing out, taking what I wanted, but then helplessly crying when I got myself into difficult circumstances. As I surrender, allowing myself to feel powerless and vulnerable, pathetic and weak, it breaks the ground to allow compassion and love to creep in.

Emotional: Addiction to remain angry, addiction to feel powerful in order to avoid other emotions, controlling others with rage, suppression of rage, placating others, defensive, reactive, explosive, unpredictable, untrustworthy, unstable, easily triggered, childhood rage & anger, rage & anger towards God and parents, grudges, resentment, unforgiveness, shame, emotional blocking/shielding, putting up barriers to others, barriers to projections, controlling, manipulative, calculating, vengeful, superior and righteous.

Physical: Low blood pressure, lethargy, chronic fatigue, arthritis, autoimmune disease, anemic, lack of oxygen, slothful movement, unsatisfying sleep, thyroid dysfunction, prostate dysfunction (rage towards women) skin rashes/irritation (rage), skin allergies, hives, inflammation, fever, immune deficiency.

Helpful: Catalyst for change, addressing long held embedded patterns, cracking the code to open new living patterns, leading naturally to emotional causes of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual blocks, gentle, loving & encouraging, works at the level of desire and intention, anti-histamine, blood cleanser, thyroid support.

Encourages: emotional honesty, courage, desire to heal, awareness of effects and consequences, take loving action, self responsibility, re-prioritize, breakthrough.

Action: Create a safe space for the spontaneous expression of rage/anger including making loud noises, if unable to create safe space consider other strategies such as going into nature; ownership of the triggers to anger/rage; take action immediately when rage/anger becomes present; do not project onto others, be honest and willing to feel intensity; use implements to safely express (base ball bat/rubber hose and punching bag); if staying in rage for longer than 45 seconds, this is an avoidance of fear and grief; allow other emotions (fear and grief) permission to emerge after rage; read/watch resources that demonstrate safe and loving emotional processing; become informed about emotional processing.

Like all our essences, Rage is a divine gift, influenced by the backdrop of extremes. To demonstrate that we must learn to weather our emotional storms and allow ourselves the extreme feelings of deprivation and separation from love, causing a breakthrough to allow love to flood us, overwhelm us and finally reclaim us.

With much love
Christiana

Meet Daniela, Our New Caretaker

2/12/2013

0 Comments

Daniela and Luka

Things are in full swing at One Garden Foundation. We softly launched our One Garden Foundation Natural Healing Centre. Briefly, the purpose of this centre is to facilitate a beautiful mumma place for One Garden Essences and to provide a space for fresh new conversations on a whole lot of topics - parenting, loving mediumship, gardening, relationships, art, music, dance, etc.

Our first event is something that is very dear to my heart - loving parenting. We have asked Justin Crick to come and share with us his experience with parenting his two boys, 6 & 8. Justin will be here on Sunday 8th December from 10am to 3pm. This will be followed by Communication with Spirit with Natalie Mann, sharing the nuts and bolts of mediumship. This workshop will be on Saturday 14th December. Check out our events on our new facebook page https://www.facebook.com/onegardenfoundation?ref=hl. I will be talking more extensively about our centre in our next issue.

Today I have the joy of introducing Daniela Kudo, our new One Garden "Caretaker".

THE GIFTS ON MY JOURNEY WITH ONE GARDEN
As a new caretaker for One Garden, I feel it’s part of my journey to write about myself. I’m nervous, so here I go…

First I better start by introducing myself. I’m Daniela Kudo and I’m from São Paulo, a big city in Brazil. I have been in Australia for about 9 years and married to a great Japanese guy who I met when I first came to Australia and I ‘m a mum of a beautiful 17 months old boy.

On my journey, since very little, I was in search for truth and for something “different”. Luckily, my family on my mum’s side has a very high inclination for Spirituality, however my father’s side is still very close-minded, and they are Catholic. As a child it was normal, although a bit frightening, to talk to a spirit through a medium and I used to read lots of books on spirituality. I always looked up to my Godmother who had lots of interest in this kind of stuff. By the age of 19, I was a Reiki Practitioner and I also took a Mediumship workshop that I enjoyed very much and it taught me heaps. I became a Reiki Master and into all the New Age things but something wasn’t right in my heart. I felt there must be something more real out there.

God heard my prayers and desires. One Garden came into my life at a time when I was really searching for more truth and also something that I loved to do; something different that wasn’t anywhere in the world. In my heart I was searching for a real connection and a certain innovation that would be appropriate for the Earth-times that I believe humanity is going through. I could definitely feel all of this with One Garden.

In my first One Garden workshop I was fascinated with what I was learning. My mother always loved flowers so we always had them around, but I never thought about the messages and feelings that flowers have until that workshop and that I was able to feel this too.

Even though I was really enjoying this new experience, there was an emotion present – an emotion that I knew very well because it was often present in my life. And I didn’t like that feeling! It was an emotion of being small and insignificant, I just wanted to be someone different than myself, be more than I was.

On the second day of the workshop we birthed a new essence called Divine Humility. Something absolutely amazing happened that day. We were in the middle of the rainforest and it was pouring rain. We were walking around admiring this very small, delicate and beautiful flower which was everywhere on the ground. Christiana announced we were going to make an essence with that flower. We were going to birth Divine Humility. It is indescribable what I felt at that moment. I was so happy and so grateful for being there. It was overwhelming. There was all this love flowing. I felt a huge connection, that this was my place and yes… I would love to be involved and more importantly, this was God’s Truth that I did deserve all this to happen. That was my first gift.

Divine Humility explained exactly what I was feeling and during the workshop I learned that this is what happens when we birth an essence. My emotions contributed to creating that essence. This was the healing that I needed so much. The feeling of being small just like that little flower but on the contrary, I didn’t feel beautiful or had any significance. Some of the flowers were looking down the same as myself. They were very hard to photograph, like myself, not wanting to be seen. They showed me the truth that I didn’t need to look down on myself. I now acknowledge the beauty of my soul. No more and no less than who I am.

Of course after that amazing gift from God, connecting with One Garden, connecting with my heart to this loving couple, Christiana and Graeme, I decided that I wanted to be a One Garden Practitioner. I bought the whole stock kit and started to feel, to learn and to use all the essences.

As I was experiencing and getting to know more about One Garden Essences I was falling in love with them. They opened up my soul to truth and to love. I started to connect more with God, to understand more about the human soul and the spirit world. I find I’m still discovering the truth my heart is craving for, the Truth from God.

One of the truths I have received from God is that One Garden Divine Nature and Flower Essences are a gift from God to all of us. A gift through nature which is available to anyone who is ready to take the journey to find our true potential, our passions, desires, and talents. Opening our soul to love, truth and God. Healing our injuries, learning how to feel and become more real.

I am very grateful for the opportunity of becoming a One Garden Caretaker, assisting others on this beautiful journey; sharing this amazing gift and the messages of love and truth.

My journey, my healing, my discoveries and my growth are still taking place and will continue to unfold. It is very exciting.

There are many other experiences that I would love to share with you but I will leave that to another time. And instead of you simply reading this post on the blog maybe one day I will write a whole book.

Many thanks to all of you who have stayed with me on this journey. May your soul also be blessed with beautiful gifts.
Love,
Daniela Kudo
