The Joy of Release! Releasing what no longer brings us joy or what it is we most need anymore is something that a lot of us struggle with. There can be many reasons for this reluctance. Amongst these, possibly the biggest one is fear. We fear that we will not have anything in it’s place or even more fear inducing: something worse instead. This applies to much of our lives. We resist letting go of people, jobs and situations long after those nudges in our heart and the pits of our stomach told us to let go. We think by ignoring these we will stay safe but instead we find that we are hanging on by dear life to something that starts to make us physically sick. If we don’t let go of it then eventually we find ourselves in such stagnation or sickness that we are forced to release it. Nature always has a way of showing our way forward though. Can you imagine a tree that hung desperately to all of it’s leaves and fruit ….not only would it be destroyed come the snow but there would be no room by Spring for new growth and fresh fruit. It is a vivid visual to keep in mind as we ourselves move out of the Winter months and into the astrological phenomenon of Equinox where the nights and days are now of equal length. Taking essences can of course help us navigate these releases and the way that they work with our energetic bodies can remove resistance to change. Sometimes although we know we need to release we just need a little help to do this. This is where Purple Orchid essence is a most trusted and needed friend. She is like a loving mother who helps us see that we deserve better and that we must move on from situations that are not aligned with our highest timelines. Purple Orchid essence helps us see situations from our highest perspective and gives us the courage to realise that we are ready to release anything less than what we deserve. She holds us in a vibration of unconditional love so that we can just let whatever we need to go without fear or being racked with self-doubt and what ifs? Recently I was guided to take her essence. She has helped me move on from a situation which was not for my highest best. I had become so invested in the outcome of this situation that I could not get the higher perspective to have the confidence to see that this was simply no longer for me and certainly not serving my highest best. Is there something or someone that you need help letting go of? It might simply be a habit or a way of being or thinking. Let Purple Orchid essence help you. She has such a high vibration and angelic loving energy. She will guide, love, support and advise you in subtle energetic ways. The words that Purple Orchid channelled to me when I made her essence: “Purple Orchid speaks of setting yourself free and living a life of joy. She teaches you to enjoy the nectar of life and to rejoice in that is precious to you. She teaches that if it’s not making you happy accept the lesson and move on Release all that does not serve you. Look to your dreams, remember what happiness feels like. Value yourself and if it’s not aligned, move on. Cherish life and all those you love. Live wildly and bravely. Trust. Moving on despite troubles in the past. Accepting that times change and so do people and relationships. She has a very motherly, nurturing frequency and she also links into the Angelic realm.”
