Expanding Awareness and Four Essences to Help
Have you noticed how much more expansive your awareness has become in the short time that has passed since the June solstice? At this time there was a flood of high frequency light flowing onto the planet that opened up our consciousness and took us into a deeper understanding of life and how we fit into it.
As we move into the transformative frequencies of the Lions Gate in August, the uplifting high frequency light and light codes that we will be receiving from Sirius will amplify this expansion even more if we allow ourselves to open to it. If your reality is anything like ours you will probably have found that your lived experience of expanding awareness has taken you on an interesting journey.
There will have been some times when you have been able to look beyond the old matrix of 3D and be very aware of yourself as a connected part of the wholeness of life. Then there will have been those other times where you find yourself uncomfortably exploring where you are still limiting yourself within the old patterning. This can feel a little challenging but remember it is only possible because you now have the expanded awareness to see what you couldn’t see before, and that this is really cause for celebration rather than disappointment.
Cracks in the Facade of ‘Reality’

The perceptions and understandings that have been a part of the old 3rd dimensional matrix are now beginning to crack open in ways that give us freedom to step out of it very quickly, if we simply allow ourselves to see and feel beyond the ordinary. This is an exciting opportunity and one that we have been waiting for, for a very long time.
However, it does require us to recognise that what we have thought of as ‘reality’ is just a construct that we have been programmed to fit into and that with our now expanding awareness we can consciously choose differently. There is so much more to discover, but we have to be willing to explore beyond the edges of what we have known as ‘normal’.
We are being invited to step into our power as sovereign, spiritual beings, to remember that we are the creators of our own reality and most importantly that we are part of a connected, alive universe. It is worth remembering that we tend to get what we expect in life so if we unconsciously continue to expect the same old same old, this is all that we will see until we change our expectation. So how do we do this?
Permission to Explore in New Ways
A good starting place is to give ourselves full permission to explore beyond our everyday senses and to trust what we find there. For instance, to let your intuition and your inner guidance be a much greater guiding force in your life, or to allow your inner knowing to show you what is actually real rather than just following old ideas about what is true, because these are what are still considered mainstream.
Check out whether there is anywhere where you need to challenge yourself to take your knowingness of something to a new level or where you are not allowing what you truly believe to guide your life. For instance, do you allow yourself to experience what it feels like to live in a sentient, abundant, loving, connected universe where everything is alive, rather than the inert version still favoured by mainstream scientific, religious and educational establishments. How does this change how you see yourself and what old expectations could you allow to dissolve as a result?

The 3D perception of separation does not exist here and waiting for us behind that facade we will find inclusivity, connectedness, equality, and unconditionality. Just take a moment to take a deep breath or two and move your awareness within yourself, feeling your roots anchoring you deep into Mother Earth and your alive vibrant connection to the cosmos.
Open the gateway in your heart and just allow your awareness to open to the flow of life force energy through and around you. Imagine/know that the space around you is filled with teaming life, energies in many forms and that you are an interconnected part of the creation we call life. Open up all of your senses to experience this as deeply as you can. Invite your higher self to expand this experience for you and to gently show you how you can open to it more, as well as to the synchronicities that will flow in for you as a result.
Four Flower Essences to Help…
There are many essences that will help us to open up to the awareness of the new reality available beyond the old one, but today we are going to focus on four that will help us to expand our ability to open our senses to that which is usually beyond the normal.
1. Being Present Essence

We have chosen to highlight this combination because the ability to stay quiet, present and aware in each now moment is fundamental when it comes to our ability to explore beyond the ordinary. The old 3D patterning tends to highlight the past and the future, keep us looking outside of ourselves for information and knowledge and separate us from our personal power.
As a result our default setting is not the present moment until we consciously choose to change it. Many also have the misperception that it is necessary to exit the physical body in order to experience beyond the ordinary, but in reality, the reverse is the case. If you keep in mind that all realities exist in the same place and in the now moment, it makes sense that the quieter and more anchored you can be in your physical body the more you have the potential to connect with.
The Being Present Essence is a deep acting combination of flower, gem & crystal essences that will help you to slow down, quieten your mind, connect within, strengthen your grounding and make it easier for you to get fully into your physical body so that you can just be present and aware of the wonderful creative universe you are an integral part of.

2. The Brow Chakra Essence

The brow chakra is the centre which allows us literally to perceive beyond the ordinary. When this chakra point is fully active it facilitates inner wisdom, intuition, inner vision and an expanded perspective that relates to your soul awareness.
The Brow Chakra Essence is the combination to take when you want to expand any of these innate abilities. It will help you dissolve old programming that keeps you mentally orientated, increase your intuitive inner knowing, open your inner vision and generally expand your capacity to perceive and trust realities beyond the everyday norm.
3. The Soul Connection Essence

This deep acting combination of flower, gem & crystal essences is the one to use when you want to expand your awareness of and connection to your soul / higher self.
It will help you expand your awareness so that you can feel, see or know the aspect of you that we call soul more fully. It will also facilitate a flow of soul light and love that will provide nurture for your physical, emotional & mental bodies as well as expanding your consciousness and capacity to see the reality of creation through the eyes of soul.
Once you get a glimpse of this, even in a fleeting way, nothing in the ‘normal’ world looks the same and your ability to see beyond the ordinary everyday reality starts to expand.

4. The Flower of Life Essence

The Flower of Life essence is made from the ancient, sacred patterning of the Flower of Life and is a fascinating one to use when you are wanting to expand your capacity to expand beyond the ordinary.
The Flower of Life is the original blueprint for creation in our universe, and the reflection of your own divinity is held within the template of this pattern. It has the capacity to stir ancient memories, release distortions in your own blueprint and connect you more fully with the inter-connectedness and sacredness of Life.
I have been using this essence a lot lately in its spray version, and I find that it subtly opens up my capacity to connect with my true self, opens my awareness and expands my perspective. If you feel called to explore it yourself, consider using a Flower of Life Spray with any of the above combinations and then pay careful attention to what changes for you.
