Human intention is very important at every point in the process of making and handling essences. It helps shape the essences' action and activity in that directed thought and feeling on the part of the humans involved affects them . Essences primarily act through the energy of what they are made from. However, that energy also combines with the intentions and thoughts of the maker, bottler, and others who handle and interact with them. This also includes the person who takes the essence.
Intention starts with the maker. It can be defined as a combination of the thoughts, ideas, feelings, state of being, and focus of the maker. It includes their purpose in making the essence -- even their sense of purpose in general.
Because essences work in the realm of
energy, they are affected by other energies like thoughts and
feelings, particularly of the person involved in the making.
It is not possible for a person working with or making essences to
utterly absent themselves from the process. We are human beings, and we
leave an effect everywhere we go. The trick is through intention to
try to leave as positive of one as possible. Conscious focus helps
with this, and this is part of why makers enter into a meditative
state to enhance their focus.
This is partly what makes, say, a daisy essence from one manufacturer
somewhat different than one from another. Sure, they should have
major similarities, but they will also have important differences.
These differences are good in that they offer different types of
essences for different situations.
Sometimes, however, the differences are not so good, in that a maker who is in an emotionally turbulent or unfocused state may then transmit those unwanted qualities into the essences they make. Consumers need to be aware of this when they choose essences, but their own instincts and intuitions can guide them in their selections. See how you feel
about an essence just by reading the manufacturer's literature or
publications, holding a few bottles of their products, or by
intuitively focusing on the energy present in the entire line. As a
result, if it doesn't feel good or right for you, don't use that
company's products.
Here are some examples of negative ways an intention can affect the
quality of an essence: Does the essence maker tend to personally act
out of all kinds of unconscious and unhealed pain from their own lives? That will be a
form of "pollution" in their intention. Are they thinking about how
pissed off they are at their spouse during the essence
making/handling process? Or how much money they hope they will make
with the essence? Do they hope the essence's success will make them
a guru to others? Are they thinking they have to rotate the tires on
their car? Or that their *&#% hemorrhoids itch? These are all the
unresolved issues of the maker. They each become a part of the
essence, and I know these energies are ones I would not want to be taking in.
On the positive side: is the maker focusing meditatively and clearly
on providing a service for the highest good of all concerned? of
causing no harm? of allowing the Creator's energy and love to come through
them into the essence with as much clarity as possible? Of permitting
the healing forces within the user to be enhanced through exposure to
the essence, affirming the user (not the essence's) strength? Essences
made this way are ones I'd surely prefer to use.
