Proceeding past procrastination.

Inertia is a great force a condensed energy, that keeps our plant spinning and all the elements of the solar system moving in their prescribed ways. Inertia is manifest in our bodies in a number of ways, the flow of fluids in our bodies for example proceed along their routes through blood vessels, arteries and chambers. This constant movement serves to keep the organism functioning in way that maintains overall health.

There is another type of inertia that exists in the human body, this though relates more to feelings and states of mind. There are times when the inertia of certain thoughts and feelings stymie our overall health and well being. Whether this be dwelling upon the less uplifting events or feelings we have experienced. Or feeling stuck in our ability to translate thoughts/emotions into action. When these ‘ruts’ get lodged in our consciousness and we feel them holding us back, inertia ceases to become our ally.

There are a few essences we can use to shift this type of unhealthy inertia and reconnect with passion and positive forward evolution. The three I will talk about today are blackberry, cayenne and larch. They address different qualities of the way inertia can manifest in our personal experience. The two areas they address are the mind and the emotions.

Blackberry: This is a powerful bush full of thorns and tasty fruits left unchecked this plant will literally dominate the area where it grows. Its power to proliferate is a testament to the qualities of the essence. Blackberry assists one to take ideas and put them into concrete action, this assistance is made by helping one to contact the will forces necessary for action.

When sluggishness dominates the mind and frustrations take hold blackberry will assist to transform these elements. It helps by forging a greater connection to the will, the internal power we use to project thoughts, ideas and goals. By assisting to bridge thoughts to will and will to external action movement is created, conscious movement towards a reality we desire.

Cayenne: This flower essence deals more with stagnation in growth/soul evolution. There are times in life when we reach certain plateau. These plateaus allow us moments of reflection before we move on to the next stage in our evolution. But there are times when we get stuck at these platues and just seem to idle on. This comfortable feeling may even start to express its self as resistance to growth. Or we may have just a general resistance to growth based on faulty conditioning.

Cayenne can be used at these times to breakthrough our own internal resistance to change. The action of this essence serves to ignite the emotions helping us use these powerful energies to move us forward in our soul evolution. Cayenne works through ignition of the fiery forces within us. This force helps to unite the body and soul, which helps us to forge a greater connection with life and overcome inertia.

Larch: Larch is a type of conifer tree, being a tree larch conveys the energy of confidence standing in our own power. Larch is a useful essence, when inertia centers around feeling related to our self esteem. States of low self esteem hold us back from life in many ways for example we may not apply for a job which we are qualified for.

Larch helps us to access states of confidence and/or renew flagging states of confidence. It increases our belief in ourselves, which serves to spark creativity and action. It also helps us to recilibrate what success means, so we are acting from our own definition and not from the definition of forces outside of use. Which interestingly enough may be the cause of our esteem issues in the first place.

All three essences serve a similar structure/function yet they deal with the challenges of motivation in different ways. There are many other essences which could have been listed here and will be featured in future posts. The immedieate action of the essences listed above is why they were choosen. They can be used alone or together, for immediate action it is suggested to use the essence at stock level 2 drops 3 times a day for a week. For more long term use it is suggested to make a dosage bottle and use that for 3-4 weeks.
