      Anyone can do this, although if you're new to it, it will take time and practice to get it down to a fine art. Essence Sensing! Yes, read the explanations and meanings given for all the essences, but at the end of the day, you will be the one taking it and there is no one else on the planet like you! YOU may (and probably definitely will) react differently to an essence than your best friend, husband, wife, mother, sister and neighbour, so YOU must decide which essences are best for you. During my consultations, I always try to ask the client to hold and "tune into" the essences I am prescribing, especially if there is a choice between two or three and it's unclear which to go for. You will always know - your body always knows. And although some like to have guidance with this, you can also do it at home....

      Hold the essence(s) you feel you need in your hand (or both hands) ... close your eyes, take three deep breaths in and out, then feel the energy from the bottle(s) in your hands. Do they feel heavy or light? Comfortable or uncomfortable? Do you see any colours or images in your mind? Do you hear any messages? How does your body feel? Is your tummy ok? Do your legs feel strong or weak? Anything else?

      Take note of everything that comes to you no matter how bizarre it might seem. You can try this with a number of essences that you think you might need. Then take a look at your notes... you may find that what you thought you needed wasn't what you need right now after all, or it was spot on! A "story" may take shape out of what you've experienced, pin-pointing areas of your life that you may need to work on initially.

      After taking your chosen essences for your required length of time, go back to this meditation with either the same essences or other ones that you think you need now: you may find that you've worked through more than you originally realised and another layer is now ready to be peeled.

      This process may sound complicated if you are not used to it, but it only requires practice and trust in yourself - everyone possesses the ability to know what they need and to heal themselves with this knowledge. Trust your instincts, always.

      Does anyone have any words they'd like to share about their "essence sensing" experiences? It would be great to hear it - feel free to comment below.

        Song Of The Magic Realms

        There is a realm of magic
        where the brave of heart reside,
        where witches, elves and wizards
        work their magick to the tide.
        Where dragons guard the Great Divide
        and warrior angels fight
        for the freedom of empowerment,
        our ancient, given right.

        About Dianna

        & Magic Realms

        Picture
        My name is Dianna Hardy and I am an author of occult / mind-body-spirit books, gothic poetry, dark fantasy and paranormal romance (see DiannaHardy.com)

        As well as my writing, I enjoy sharing with others my spiritual thoughts and experiences. I have been working with the unseen elements of the earth and the spiritual dimension for as long as I can remember, my earliest memory being at one year old, when I was taken by my mother to an ice sculpture of Snow White in her coffin within a cave in Portugal ... a moment which I immediately recognised as being important and have never forgotten. That Snow White was also the very first film I ever watched at the cinema at the age of three, left me with no doubt that the story of Snow White was significant to me somehow. It was not until many years later that I realised so much of what I did had a name and an orgin within Shamanic (and other) practices, and that Snow White was a symbolism for the path I was to follow: Death, Rebirth, Eve/Lillith and the Apple, and of course Love, the meaning of 'happily ever after' and the healing of broken hearts.

        Consciously, I began to study Magic, Witchcraft and Shamanism (from different traditions) in 1999, finding excitement in knowing that many things I already did naturally, like journeying and communing with my Spirit Guides was 'normal'.

        My main teachers have always been my Spirit Guides (different ones at different times), and I have been led to Earth Teachers every now and again to enhance my learning, focus my initiations and nudge me in the right direction, including Ivan McBeth and Dr Yubraj Sharma.  Learning is continuous within any form of spiritual practice, because energy and spirit is not solid - it always changes and transforms... I am always learning something new.

        This website has come about because one of my previous sites, WitchWays (created on wanadoo-members Sitebuilder in 2003) came to an end. Most of what I held on that site is here. Within the Magic Realms you will find elements of how I live in and perceive the world, as well as some things I have learnt along the way. This site exists because I'm a creative person who likes to share her thoughts.

        Living shamanically and the power of magic is something that I strongly believe is inherent and very much alive within all of us and whether we choose to take that further into a full blown practice is our choice.

        This site is both an expression of who I am, of my choices and a window for you, so that you may catch a glimpse of your own magic realm, just waiting to be rediscovered.
