Flower essences are easy, harmless healing modalities that incorporate change on all levels of the body and psyche. They are part of a larger category of healing called vibrational medicine which includes homeopathy, gem elixirs and environmental, astrological and angelic elixirs.

These vibrational remedies work primarily on levels of consciousness; new to Western civilization, they have been used for thousands of years by indigenous peoples of Australia and other continents. In their modern form they were developed in the 1930s by Dr. Edward Bach, an English homeopath searching for an effective healing mode that would cause no harm to the patient or to the plants, from root, leaf, soil, seed, and beyond, used to create these remedies. In the case of chacruna essence, not harvesting the plant directly preserves the Psychotria viridis from being needlessly harvested, as, along with Banisteriopsis caapi, is a necessary ingredient for ayahuasca.

Because these are vibrational remedies and not herbal preparations or essential oils, a laboratory analysis would reveal no physical presence of psychotria viridis plants themselves. Rather, similar to homeopathic remedies, their energies exist only on vibrational levels, which modern science has developed very few techniques for measuring.

The Collection

Hummingbird Remedies are a labor of love. They were made with intention and impeccability, found in their natural, native source in the soil of the Pacific Northwest, North America, the south of Mexico, and Hawaii, from plants grown outdoors from seeds in wilderness areas, potted in botanical gardens, sacred nature sanctuaries, and the soil of co-created in cultivation in private gardens, in conscious communion with overlighting angelic and devic forces. Our psychotria viridis chacruna gem elixirs are prepared from stones in private collections. These remedies offer tremendous potential for transformation, light, and healing both yourself and the world in ways both large and small, and many new essences are presented in this catalog.

The Method

These chacruna flowers and psychotria viridis plants all called out and asked to be added to the vibrational repertory. Many of the remedies are made using a live, "no-pick" method, to keep the plant leaf, seeds, and soil surrounding the chacruna unharmed. Devic forces biomagnetically imprint the pure water with the energies in the seeds, leaf, and stem of the plant in order to avoid damaging the chacruna plants and surrounding soil; the essence is then further stabilized and amplified when required. Chacruna gem elixirs are made using the traditional method of a sunlight infusion into pure spring water.

The Definitions

After energetic stabilization and preservation with 50% brandy, each chacruna remedy is entered into the repertory of selected practitioners and tested for appropriate uses. I also do a channeled session for each psychotria viridis plant remedy, wherein I'm given specific information based on origin, history, uses and definitions, test points, etc. of the chacruna specimen. This is shared with practitioners across the world to assist in selection, mix, and use among their clients. A much-edited version becomes the catalog definition to share, and we are working on a manuscript of all channeled information about all the essences in the Hummingbird repertory, including chacruna remedies.

Selection

Chacruna flower essence selection is not an exact science. There is a fair amount of leeway on choice of chacruna remedy mixes; although there may be a single perfect remedy for your needs, there may also be many others that will also work very well. Some of the best things about flower and leaf essences is that there are no bad choices; if you take the wrong remedy, usually the worst that happens is nothing happens!

Suggestions to consider when choosing remedies:

• You can read the definitions and let your conscious mind/left brain/intellect decide.
• Some people choose the essences of their plants by affinity, or difficulty; they know a plant like psychotria viridis or ayahuasca and already love it, and when they find its uses correspond with their needs, they feel the match was made in heaven. Others find they've always had a problem appreciating a certain plant, and then find its definition describes their need exactly.
• Some use radiesthesia (dowsing) or kinesiology (muscle testing) to choose a remedy. If this is something new to you, consider finding someone to teach you these skills. This plant selection method works well if you don't want to commit all remedy definitions to memory, or you don't trust your conscious mind to give you honest answers regarding unconscious issues.
• A number of people exhibit extra-sensitivity to these psychotria viridis remedies in various ways; some pass their hands close over a collection of bottles and respond to one or a few with tingling or other sensation that indicates an affinity to a particular mix; others hold them in their hands to "feel" if it's right when close. Some can hear the description or occasionally just the name, and they intuitively "know" it's the right choice, even if they have to go back to a previous or different bottle.

Dosage

In general, it's not how much you take of a remedy, but how often. Thus, a psychotria viridis plant remedy taken twice a day, 7 drops each, may have less impact than when taken 4-6 times a day, 2-3 drops each. To find optimum chacruna dosage, radiesthesia or kinesiology techniques may be ideal; but in general, most psychotria viridis plant remedies are taken 4-7 drops at a time, 4-6 times a day, until relief of the condition is experienced. Even in cases of extreme need, remedies should be taken no more often than 5-15 minutes apart, until some shifting is noted; at which time frequency of dosage could be lessened. Paying attention to one's inner and outer states and symptoms can be a useful guide to whether and how long the remedies could be taken.

All Hummingbird Remedies essence of psychotria viridis chacruna plants are sold in small bottles at stock concentrate, and are created to last many years with proper care. They can be used full strength, which is often best for physical issues, or they can be diluted to a lower strength in a ratio of 4-7 drops stock to 1 ounce of pure water. (You can preserve these dosage bottles with 20-50% brandy or vinegar to keep indefinitely; or 10-25% glycerin will protect the dosage bottle for up to three weeks—less, in warm weather.) Another suggested use, and even easier, is to put 7-12 drops of stock essence in a quart of pure water, and sip from it throughout the day; this works well with tonic-type remedies. When using stock remedies for specific times and situations, such as group work or spiritual practices, we suggest taking a psychotria viridis leaf essence remedy a few minutes before you begin.

Storage

It is suggested to store your psychotria viridis chacruna essences out of direct sunlight, and away from temperatures above 105° F. Because these are vibrational remedies, there is a chance that strong electromagnetic fields may weaken the potency. Therefore we highly recommend that you keep these sacred plant and leaf essences eight feet or more away from computer terminals and TV's; six feet from major electrical appliances; and four feet from fluorescent lights and digital alarm clocks.
