We’re taught that the chakras can be “blocked” and prevent flow to other chakras, but their original description was more like a placeholder for Spirit or Gods. Like you would meditate or use certain mudras or poses to kind of charge up or activate certain energies. I definitely want to study more bc I thought that info was so interesting. 02:10:10 Ajita (she/they): I read about that too!- that it came from Blackfoot philosophy 02:13:45 Monica A: Interesting because elderberries are very small tree like cluster and they have an affinity for the lines 02:13:50 Monica A: lungs 02:14:06 T (she/ her): we learned different aspects so I appreciate this too 02:14:41 anjuli she/her/we: I know it’s a word used so much these day, and I know this is a safe space to speak to the pronunciation of Chakra, in the sanskrit pronunciation to move more towards “chuck-ra” rather than “Shock-rah” 02:15:11 Ajita (she/they): Thank you Anjuli 02:15:34 Molly she/her: Thank you for this anjuli 02:23:37 ellenie cruz (She/Her): SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE KNOWLEDGE IN THE CHAT.

Look toward the sky 02:46:39 Cierra (she/her): LOL 02:47:05 Clarice Abdul-Bey: It is my favorite flower! 02:47:57 Indie (they/them): I thought of a massive sunflower as well, it was towering over me, I felt so much warmth and light emanating and calling me to just bask in its beauty. I also have my tarot deck near me and pulled the strength card after the meditation, that felt profound, resonant and affirming. Definitely want to get around some massive sunflowers in the Summer. 02:48:00 James (he/him): Beautiful Hehn 02:49:38 Asari B.: my sunflower said: I glow, and I help you glow 02:50:57 Cierra (she/her): mine was masculine as well 02:51:11 Clarice Abdul-Bey: I’ve seen a sunflower shower seeds down on me in a meditation. 02:51:20 Kaisa (She/Hers): Thank you Tiffany, thank you Haley... <3 <3 02:51:32 Roan Coughtry: E48`1 02:51:44 Roan Coughtry: Sorry y’all that was my cat 02:51:54 Brandonia he/him: It follows the sun too which I feel like is contributed to masculine energies 02:52:53 Rebecca Reynolds: As a woman of Crone years, and nearly six foot tall, I think of a Sunflower as a Matriarch, a powerful force of protection for her family unit, adorned. 02:52:53 T (she/ her): mine was tall and towered over me but came down to meet me face to face 02:54:33 Patricia West: Can you share that book title again please? 02:55:16 Anne White Hat: Mine was not tall at all, rather it was laying low, laying down and crawling, and emerged at the edge, of the garden, she was a beautiful dark red with yellow in the middle. 02:56:00 Haley (she/her): I felt as though the sunflower in my vision was a sentient being, they were communicating with me and experiencing emotions. 02:59:25 Jalisa Roberts (she/her): can you imprint with the moon as well? 02:59:34 Brandonia he/him: My sun flower sprouted in my hand and grew so tall that it reached the sun. I climbed up and watched as it engulphed the sun in it's face and then released it back out. I stood on one of it's giant leaves and watched all this happen. As it died back it shrunk back towards the ground gently setting me down and from it, dying face it gave another glowing seed that had the warmth of the sun. Less words from mine but more visions 03:04:15 Roan Coughtry: Did you say ideally you want to cover the water/flowers while they’re sitting in the sun? 03:04:33 Jalisa Roberts (she/her): does the amount of water matter? 03:04:46 Harper (they/them/theirs): cover the surface of the water in flowers, I think she said, unless you work with a specific number 03:06:14 Roan Coughtry: Thank you Ellenie & Harper! 03:07:01 T (she/ her): Does the two lines on the child dosage indicate young child vs older child? 03:07:44 T (she/ her): oh, got it 03:07:57 Devon (her-she) Kinder: can you use any alcohol? 03:08:00 Monica A: what size bottle pls 03:09:15 Kanika: can you use another type of alcohol or only brandy? 03:10:42 Rebecca B (she/her): what is the name of the book for flower essences sorry if I missed it 03:11:17 Kaisa (She/Hers): Why do we only use flowers (rather than other plant parts) to capture and share energies for these kinds of preparations? Is it because the flower is one of the fullest expressions of a plant? 03:11:28 Huda: Duo you dilute it all in one go, or do you have to let it sit for a while 03:11:36 Viviana Rennella (she/ella): How long do you have to wait until you get the drops from the previous bottle? 03:12:00 Huda: Meaning, can you make all three bottles (grand parent, parent, child) in one go? 03:13:07 T (she/ her): Are each used for specific reasons? Not sure if I missed that 03:13:18 Monica A: how much does one take? 03:13:33 T (she/ her): you’re doing great 03:13:35 Rebecca Reynolds: You are slaying it 03:13:35 Huda: I think you’re doing great :) 03:13:48 Rebecca Reynolds: Be good to yourself. This is a tough medium. Big Love! 03:13:54 Jayeesha Dutta: You’re doing great boo 💖 03:13:55 anjuli she/her/we: can you speak to when you would use grandmother/mother/child essences? 03:13:55 Jalisa Roberts (she/her): i'm learning so much more than from my personal research 03:14:07 Aria (she/her): we appreciate you Ellenie <3 03:14:27 madeleine keller (they/them): this class is awesome and I love what you’re doing here <3 03:14:36 Shavon: I'm learning alot 03:15:12 Madison McCoy: Omg whale songs?! 03:15:14 Brandonia he/him: Omg I think I need rose thorn essence right about now lol 03:15:24 Anne White Hat: Can you talk about making gem essences 03:15:43 Madison McCoy: Also this class has been amazing & adore what you’re doing. 03:16:52 Patricia West: You were explaining why we dilute 03:17:03 Monica A: dosage 03:17:12 T (she/ her): why the three 03:18:03 Mykalee (she/they): how do you know when flower essences are working for you? 03:18:15 yudith{she,they,ella,elle}: Thank you so much for your wisdom!! <3 I have to jump off now. 03:19:24 Huda: Could you use flowers from a flower shop? Or does the plant have to be in the ground? 03:19:51 Jalisa Roberts (she/her): i definitely have needed a dropperful at a time where i was really blocked and closed off vs my partner felt it 3drops 03:20:07 Jalisa Roberts (she/her): (of the dosage bottle) 03:20:37 Jalisa Roberts (she/her): definitely need to re-up on olive flower essence 03:21:33 Madison McCoy: Apologies if this has already been answered.. but can the flower be dried? Or needs to be fresh? 03:21:59 Huda: Thanks for being so real <3 :D 03:21:59 Lauren (she/her): are there any contraindications with certain flower essences in the same way that there are with certain tinctures? For example, St. John’s Wort tea/tinicture interacts with some medications, but would the flower essence work on the subtle body + so not have the same body impact but more spiritual? 03:22:09 Brandonia he/him: LMAO!!! 03:22:10 Galaxy Tab A: does the outdoor temperature matter or just the sunlight in the essence prep? 03:22:20 Ima Odong: Thank you for being honest about that!! Need to hear that rn 03:22:35 T (she/ her): oh wow, lol. Its actually reassuring that you started out skeptical 03:22:38 Madison McCoy: Made me laugh out loud 03:22:48 Huda: Literally loling 03:23:04 T (she/ her): From ct 03:23:08 Kathya (she/they): Yes, I also appreciate the transparency lol 03:23:09 Galaxy Tab A: Honesty is so refreshing 03:24:12 Jonathan Hehn: Wow!! The Sunflower meditation was/is phenomenal. The Sunflower called me to let go of previous places of comfort and protection and learn to be courageous enough to embrace new knowing and pointed me to the Mimosa; that plant just kept centered itself in my mediation though the Sunflower was also very present. I looked up the Mimosa essence and this is something that came up: The Mimosa Flower Essence is made to help one Release The Past so that you can move forward in a new vibrational frequency more aligned to your Truth. Simply powerful. Thank you! So grateful!…. oh my goddess, I am a Leo… 03:26:52 T (she/ her): Oh, I was asking if trial and error is used to determine the dosage 03:26:53 Brandonia he/him: Preach! & that work is rough for real 03:27:22 T (she/ her): I think you read the question way after the subject passed 03:27:29 T (she/ her): :) 03:27:32 Monica A: losing you 03:28:32 Monica A: with calendula would you use 1 or 3 flowers 03:29:04 Lauren (she/her): thank you <3 03:29:06 Roan Coughtry: Can you take multiple flower essences at the same time? Or do they ever counteract each other? 03:30:27 Jasmine Singletary: I I practice reiki, can I infuse my flower essence with it ? 03:30:33 Jasmine Singletary: if* 03:31:07 Huda: So you can just use 3 flowers, you do not need to cover the entire top of the water? 03:31:51 Huda: I live in the city where it its tough to grow my own flowers. Can I use fresh flowers from a flower shop, or does the plant need to be in the ground? 03:32:04 Viviana Rennella (she/ella): Since the flowers have to be from a living plant, then this is less of a winter practice, right? 03:32:18 Monica A: does it have to be in sun outside or sunny window ok 03:33:57 Beecher(she/her): is there a book you recommend? I understand the need to be intuitive for the individual but if I am looking for flowers to treat anxiety I would like a starting place for options. 03:34:31 Kanika: can you take use flowers from trees? 03:34:43 Beecher(she/her): thank you! 03:34:48 ellenie cruz (She/Her): The flower essence repertory 03:35:09 Madison McCoy: By Patricia Kaminski? 03:35:40 Devon (her-she) Kinder: I thought class went to 4pm 03:35:47 birdie radford: same devon 03:35:52 Devon (her-she) Kinder: 3 22 here 03:35:54 Chantel (she/her): It’s 3:23 haha 03:35:57 Jalisa Roberts (she/her): about 30 mins 03:36:03 Rebecca Reynolds: hahahah 03:36:03 Madison McCoy: <3 03:36:04 Devon (her-she) Kinder: yay! 03:36:06 Haley (she/her): Yay more time! 03:36:08 Madison McCoy: !!! 03:36:09 Jhonna (she/they): <3333 03:36:11 Mykalee (she/they): YAAASSS!!!! 03:36:12 Huda: hahaha 03:36:12 Jayeesha Dutta: So cute <3 <3 03:36:14 Huda: Hooray! 03:36:16 James (he/him): <3 03:36:17 Kanika: yaass 03:36:19 Lauren (she/her): <3 love this <3 03:36:20 Chantel (she/her): Nope you’re good!

I love it! 03:37:02 anjuli she/her/we: you’re hilarious! glad we get 30 more minutes of this goodnessss 03:39:49 Jay (he/they): @Huda If you can find flowers from a local farm, like at a farmer’s market, they would be fresher (closer to alive) than imported flowers and less likely to be treated with pesticides in the growing practice or varnishes (like crowning glory) that florists use 03:41:56 Huda: Thanks @Jay! 03:43:47 Ajita (she/they): Thank you Ellenie! Have to go. 03:45:05 Rebecca Reynolds: Please repeat name of Haitian man, herbalist that guided you. 03:45:25 ellenie cruz (She/Her): Jaquelin Guiteau 03:47:24 Celina (they/she): Are there any protective measures after the bath? I have a friend who suggests sprinkling salt in the tub afterward to transmute any negative energy/things that have been released 03:48:03 Cierra (she/her): I love that bowl!! 03:49:43 Roan Coughtry: How much of the plant do you use? And how long do you let it sit? 03:56:37 Monica A: losing you 03:56:51 Jhonna (she/they): yes 03:56:53 Madison McCoy: I can 03:56:56 Kanika: yes 03:57:01 Roan Coughtry: Sorry if I missed this - how much of the plant do you use? And how long do you let it sit? 03:57:04 birdie radford: My roommates and I are going to be taking a bath our on the hill in our backyard. we drug a tub up there about two months ago and there is a fired pit under it. 03:58:38 Nicole (she/her): This is so great. Thanks, Ellenie. 03:58:45 Huda: So is there any medicine in just sitting in a bath with herbs in it? Or is the proper way to do it just to rinse with herbal water? 03:58:45 Emily Saturnino: Sorry I didn’t get - how long do you let it sit? 03:58:49 Marta (they/ella): Can you tell us a little bit about steaming? 03:59:06 Kanika: This was great!

I’m just worried about getting cold and being relaxed in the process 04:00:56 Brandonia he/him: Yes, I'd like to get a quick talk about smoke cleasing too if possible 04:01:13 Mykalee (she/they): Yes please smoke cleansing! :) 04:02:11 Kristy Tillman: I totally always reuse the Marc! 04:02:27 Kristy Tillman: with oil Marc, it’s amazing 04:02:29 Danyelle Antone: ohh that’s a great tip! I have some calendula infusing now 04:02:50 Indie (they/them): In my hoodoo practice I’ve learned that baths with intention for breakthroughs/resets it’s good to cool your preparation before pouring it over your head. It’s definitely a shock to the system and I always dread it beforehand but it’s always impactful for me! 04:03:24 @JayeRell: how do we sign up for this class? 04:03:34 @JayeRell: the pelvic steaming class 04:03:57 Huda: Thank you @Indie, that’s helpful info to mentally prepare myself with haha 04:04:03 ellenie cruz (She/Her): Asc3nsionart.com 04:04:06 Clarice Abdul-Bey(she/ET): yay! 04:04:08 T (she/ her): yes 04:05:12 Indie (they/them): Absolutely @Huda :) I think intention is super important in deciding how to go about your preparation. 04:06:13 Rebecca Reynolds: Cant find info on your pelvic floor class 04:06:27 Rebecca Reynolds: It's hard to go through all the comments to find it.
