Appreciation

The Alchemy of Appreciation

Adora Winquist November 23, 2021

Welcome to our alchemy of appreciation meditation. The upcoming lunar eclipse offers us an intense and high vibrational potential to put forth our intentions and anchor them in a sacred space.

We’ll start this meditation with a focus on appreciation for ourselves. One of my personal intentions is to create a space of love, kindness, compassion, and deep appreciation for myself, specifically in the feminine aspect of being a mother and an entrepreneur. There are days when I look at my schedule and wonder how I’m going to accomplish my lists and create a harmonious space for my family, in particular my two young daughters who are homeschooled. I am continually reminded to give myself a pause between appointments and that I do not have to run my schedule so full.  

Where are you called to be kinder and more appreciative of yourself? Where can you create space for compassionate self care? It’s important to bring our focus inward and to embrace our emotions and all of the footsteps of our journey that have brought us here. Having compassion and forgiveness for ourselves lends us more bandwidth to appreciate everything and everyone we come into contact with in our lives, even if those things don't always seem like blessings. 

For anyone who is new to our meditations, I incorporate one essential oil and one crystal. This brings one aspect of the plant kingdom and one aspect of the mineral kingdom to our meditation, so we can work synergistically with their alchemy and the power of their frequency and vibrational patterning. When we receive the fullness of their spirit medicine and alchemy, we gain a magnificent potential to balance our emotions, release lower energies and garner greater appreciation for ourselves and for each other. This allows for healing deeply at the cellular and DNA levels.


Essential Oil Alchemy:

geranium

Geranium medicine calls us into the deep reservoir of feminine strength, wisdom and power. I love using this oil for coming into contact and communion with the wise woman within me, especially when I feel scattered or overwhelmed. This is a wonderful oil to bring cohesion back to ourselves, to reframe our focus and self-contact, and to come into not only the heart space, but the sacral chakra as well, which is where we connect with our emotional body and feminine aspect. Geranium is a wonderful essential oil to use when we're doing clearing work around our inner female aspect, our relationship with our mother dynamics, and our bloodline on the mother's side. All of that can be modulated with the frequency of Geranium. If you don't have Geranium essential oil, that's okay, because we're going to be working with the cosmic consciousness and vital life force. If you have another essential oil you would like to work with, go ahead and pick it out.


Crystal Alchemy:

pink calcite

Pink Calcite medicine is one of softness, gentle love and compassion. It encourages us to be more loving and appreciative of our journey in life. It is a stone of focusing inward with loving care for self before we lend that focus and appreciation anywhere else. It also offers a calm and cooling energy to inflamed emotions and frenetic thoughts. Around the holidays, I like to give this wonderful stone as a part of a self-care package. It is a potent reminder to deeply commune with our inner being with the energies of love, gratitude, forgiveness, embrace, harmony, and self-acceptance because that is the ultimate nature of our soul journey.

Meditation:

If you have an essential oil that you’d like to use, place one drop on the palm of your left hand—which receives higher frequencies—and take a deep breath in for about 30 seconds, as you invite in the clarity of your intention. This inhalation of the essential oil opens a new memory cell within the brain and limbic system, and it opens a new circuit of light and healing. Invite your intention to open and to receive—in accordance with your I AM presence—the most benevolent outcome for this healing meditation. Invite your intention to align with the grandest experience of appreciation that is first focused inward. When our containers are full of love, appreciation and nurturing, then we are able to focus outward. 

Take a deep breath in, allowing your breath to deepen into the lower belly. Invite your breath to ease in and out. Now bring the focus of your attention to the dantian point—the sphere of light and frequency about an inch and a half below your navel. This is the single note that holds you in the perfection of physical form that you are. Allow your energy to settle down in this part of your body. On your next breath in, envision a golden line of light dropping down from the very center of your dantian, down through the root chakra—which expands—and simultaneously down through each leg. These golden lines of light move down through the calves and out through the soles of the feet. The foot chakras expand to drink in the light of connection to the earth. All three lines of light converge at the earth star chakra and sink, moving down effortlessly layer by layer, into the safety, warmth, nourishment, and abundance of Mother Earth.

Let your consciousness drop down to the center of the earth, connecting in with the core crystal at the center. Invite your consciousness to rest here and recalibrate in this chamber of golden light and incredible warmth and comfort. Swirls of golden light and sacred geometric formations begin to encircle you within this chamber as you open yourself to commune with the very heart of Mother Earth. Invite your cells to open and drink in this golden light. Invite each molecule, particle, and subatomic structure in your body to open and receive this golden energy of relaxation, ease, and comfort.

In the very center of this chamber, an enormous column of pink calcite crystal begins to move down from the higher realms, and into and through the very core of the earth. As you bring your awareness and attention to this crystal column, it begins to expand in a sphere of pink light around the chamber. Sweet, floral aromas of rose geranium, lilac, and rose begin to permeate your senses. A light pink ray of light begins to penetrate your heart chakra. The energy is cool, yet comforting, and it eases any heaviness or heartache that you carry. 

Breathe as this pink frequency of light vibrates and the calcite frequency begins to ease its way into each cell. Your cells open to receive this light and vital life force and this frequency of healing, gentleness, and harmony. This frequency now begins to beam from one cell to another, lifting your vibration. Light pink light now embodies each of the trillions of cells within your body. It moves through your blood, bone, and marrow. This pink healing frequency moves through each gland, organ, and system of your body, recalibrating your frequency, and lifting and transmuting places of heaviness, sadness, hopelessness. 

Now these pink rays of light move into each chakra and meridian to cleanse, clear, and lift your frequency. Your chakras open and expand to drink in this light of harmony. On your next breath in, bring the focus of your awareness into the very center of your heart, the Holy of Holies, the zero-point field of limitless potential, and rest your consciousness there.

You are invited to come into a deep sense of appreciation for yourself, and for each breath you have taken since the first, for your courage to come here now at this time of great unfoldment and shift to bring your light into places that have held darkness for thousands of years, for every step you have taken to bring you here now. Bless each footstep. Bless each breath.  Do so as if you were at the feet of the most holy deity, the brightest spark of source and divinity, for that is what you are. Breathe, as this light of recognition floods your being. Breathe, as your field expands and your soul unfurls its light and quintessence. Breathe in a sense of appreciation for every moment you have suffered, every tear you have shed, and every pain you have embraced. Take a breath of appreciation for every aspect of yourself that you deem imperfect, for there are no imperfections within you. 

Breathe deeply as the light and grace of divine consciousness surrounds and expands within you. Invite your appreciation to expand your joy, light, pleasure, play, and radiance. When you feel completely full, illuminate your appreciation for all of your blessings, your cornucopia of grand abundance—in whatever form and fashion it appears in your life. Take a breath of gratitude and expand your sphere of appreciation to all of your loved ones and all those within your inner circle. Allow your heart to open even more. Invite this appreciation to overflow into all facets of the natural world, all kingdoms of life upon the sacred planet, including all animals, plants, minerals, and matter—from the soil to the concrete, and from the forest to the sky scrapers. Your vibration of appreciation and love lifts the frequency of all matter, forms, structures, and kingdoms. Through this silence and communion, we become the embodiment of oneness and unity. Let this energy of appreciation continue to build within and all around you.

Breathe deeply and inhale any oil left on your hand to complete this circuit of light and healing, this new memory cell within you. This aroma will unlock the sacred healing and frequency of this meditation. 

In great appreciation of the earth, the elements, the frequencies of light—as above, so below—of each other, of one another, and all that is, so be it. When you're ready, you can wiggle your fingers and toes and bring yourself back to the conscious now.

Blessings,
Adora

Survive to Thrive: Survival and Struggle
January 20, 2022

This is the first of a seven-part series called Survive to Thrive. A little bit of background on why I chose to take us on this specific journey: in 2022, I'm going to be launching my new school program called the Soul Institute, which is exciting. As I was gathering ideas to put together for course programs, I was going through my book, Detox Nourish Activate, and one section in the Adrenal area, called the Personal Evolution Triad, stood out to me to be expounded upon. Based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, it takes us along the journey of self mastery.

Survive to Thrive: The Personal Evolution Triad
January 20, 2022

As a student and teacher for over two decades in the field of alternative medicine, I have come to understand the infinite nature of personal growth in an expansive way. In the writing of our new programs for the launch of our educational platform: The Soul Institute, I have refined the initial concept of the Personal Evolution Triad: Survive to Thrive. Based on the concept of Maslov’s Hierarchy, the Survive to Thrive diagram furthers the understanding of how we can evolve from the primary steps of survival and struggle. When we engage in the vicious cycle of struggle, dis-ease is perpetuated, whether it manifests in our body, mind, emotions or spirit.

Healing Abandonment
December 11, 2020

One of the reasons that we use essential oils is that when we're inhaling an essential oil or a synergy, it helps us connect to or create a new memory cell because of the powerful connection between olfaction and the limbic center of our brain that regulates so much of our physiology, specifically mood, memory, and emotion. And so with this process, we're able to create new and healthier neuro-pathways patterns to really shift the trajectory of our emotional response when we have triggering, overwhelming or stressful experiences.

In the very first experience, we were brought back into the state of infancy and core wounding of the schizoid characterology, which was quite a surprise.

What Does Beauty, Faith, and Spirituality Have in Common?

Let's face it (wink) - the term beauty has a great deal of charge to it. We’ve been indoctrinated from too early an age of what beauty is "supposed" to look like. This messaging came from our parents and the culture of our heritage, the media, the maya of celebrity, and all the experiences we've had from the schoolyard to the corporate boardroom and even the bedroom where this has been reinforced.
