Please find our new edition of VIBRATION MAGAZINE online at http://www.FlowerEssenceMagazine.com

For the first time in its nine year history, Vibration Magazine has

split two for one, and continued the theme from our May issue --

NATURE BASED WISDOM -- in the articles for the current

edition.  We believe strongly that our collective health and well-being

depends on strengthening our communication with nature, and that continued
deforestation and destruction of vast areas of our world can result in a

natural disaster that would change all our lives permanently.

You may not agree and may not feel tied to the plant world, so why

should you read these articles? Because, if you are an essence user or
especially a practitioner, your ability to heal yourself and others with

essences will be strengthened by attuning to the plants and other natural

energies in those essence bottles.

If you wish to make an essence of your own from some favorite plant or crystal,
then attunement is the only way it can be accomplished.  In this issue are a

number of articles to help you learn how to attune to the energies of

plants. Enough said -- enjoy the articles! Table of contents is below.

As for the next issue, we'll be back to a more typical exploration of

a variety of essences with NURTURING THE SPIRIT OF YOUTHFULNESS.

We are especially looking for writers who can share their experience

with the ways essences can nurture youthfulness at any age. For instance,

we'd like to hear more about how seniors have used essences in the

adjustment to retirement with its accompanying freedom to explore new

facets of themselves, as well as essences for returning younger people

youthfulness following a trauma or loss.  Please get in touch with us

if you have an article you'd like to propose.

Sincerely,

Donna Cunningham, MSW
