In every one up until this eighth edition of Vibration, I have been guided to publish an article about one of Whole Energy Essences' single essences, using it as a kind of energy signature for the entire issue. This time, it is a special blend essence -- "Restedness" -- which sets the energy for this edition of Vibration. But before I go on to discuss that essence, I first I want to offer some perspective on combinations and how they differ from single essences.
Making a combination essence is a not an additive process: the sum total is greater than its parts. Single essences are brought together to create a working synergy. For example, one chosen may be to help with grounding and stability, another being the wedge which drives the change. And yet a third helps smooth and soothe the process. This is why when I recommend to take no more than five essences at one time, you only need to count each special blend as one of the five.
Though each combination or blended essence is a new entity unto itself, its heritage can be seen in the essences which went into its making. Studying each of the essences which go into any one combination, you can see how they fit together, and you begin to understand the blend's use.
Bringing together several single essence energies, combination essences address complex issues. And there certainly are enough of those to go around! I find their complexity allows them to work on several levels simultaneously.
Restedness
(a combination of: Sedum, Rhododendron, Mint Flower)
Key Statements:
I rest too much -or- too little.
I can't relax, take a break.
My rest isn't rejuvenating or renewing.
Description:
Restedness helps us remember to give ourselves time and opportunity to reflect, heal, and nourish mind, body, and spirit. During rest we have an opportunity to think about our day, integrating our experiences into our wisdom. And we do not have a choice: all of us must rest to recharge our batteries, repair worn body tissues, relax frayed nerves, rest fatigued brains, and rejuvenate tired souls.
We are not meant to be on the go all the time, yet being in constant motion is a daily reality for many people. From the time their feet hit the floor in the morning until they fall exhausted into bed far too late at night, they go without pause. In the United States, a lack of sleep and rest is considered to be of epidemic proportions. Fatigue could be a significant factor in many types of lifestyle-related illnesses and it is certainly the source of many accidents.
Then there are those who get too much rest. Be it boredom, depression, withdrawal, a dislike of activity, too much rest can be just as unhealthy as too little. Regardless of the nature of the excess -- too much or too little down time -- Restedness reminds us that a rhythm of activity followed by rest is a natural one. In fact, the diurnal nature of rest and sleep is one of the basic body rhythms and is closely related to all metabolic activity.
Rhododendron ("Compassion") asks us to give ourselves a break, including a rest break. Sedum ("Release from Limits") we knows don't have to hold ourselves back from rest. Mint Flower ("Innocence and Trust") helps us feel safe enough to let go and relax.
