INTRODUCING
COMPASSIONATE CARE GIVER

and

PEACE-FULL
FLOWER ESSENCE FORMULAS

In 2009, after proposing that FES (Flower Essence Society) develop two pre-made flower essence formulas for the hospice community, one for those living with life-limiting illness, and one for care givers, I was deeply honored to accept their invitation to recommend specific essences for each formula as well as suggest names for both formulas.

Through the steady and generous support offered by FES, and the collaborative efforts of all involved, Windber Hospice and Hospice of The Twin Cities participated in a pilot study with these formulas. In response to documented feedback and positive effects, FES now offers:

PEACE-FULL formula for those living with life-limiting illness.

AND

COMPASSIONATE CARE GIVER formula for those caring for loved ones receiving end-of-life care.

The Peace-Full formula promotes deep peace for those living with life-limiting illness, whether at home, in a hospice house, or in a hospital.

The Compassionate Care Giver formula encourages peaceful presence for care givers, loved ones, and family members of those living with life-limiting illness.

LEARN MORE

To learn more about the development of these two formulas and related offerings, visit the Hospice Outreach page of my website.

For detailed information on individual essences included in each formula, for primary indications for both formulas, or to place an order, you are invited to visit the Products & Ordering page of my website.

SHARING THE NEWS

From the center of my heart, I thank you for sharing the news about these two new formulas with your loved ones, co-workers, and members of your community. Both care givers and those living with life-limiting illness will be grateful to know about the gentle, safe, and effective form of support. Feel free to share this blog posting and my website with those who will value this information.

WELCOMING YOUR FEEDBACK AND TESTIMONIALS

If you or loved ones in your care have received, or are receiving, the support of Compassionate Care Giver or Peace-Full, I warmly welcome your feedback and testimonials which serve as an invaluable resource when introducing these new and effective formulas to those whose lives will benefit from them.

You are welcome to contact me with your questions, and your feedback, and I will happily respond.

With loving support,

Jane

ELIXIR OF LIQUID LIGHT

2010-12-02T16:08:00.000-08:00

A luminous canopy of silver and gold hung full of grace over the receptive body of the Pacific Ocean last Tuesday evening as I strolled along the shoreline, lapping up the elixir of liquid light offered with each incoming wave.

Flowing soft and deep into the rich realms of the winter season, may each incoming wave remind us of the blessing of Magic shimmering inside every single drop of life.

With love for you,
from the silvery-gold place
in the Center of my Heart,

Simple, sweet, blessings to All.

Jane

THE ACT OF CREATING

2010-06-14T14:05:00.000-07:00

I created this photograph during a recent hike at Mount Tamalpais in Marin, California.

Is it the grounded wisdom of the ancient rock sitting quietly in the foreground that calls me over and over again to the vibration of this image?

Maybe it's the tree's ability to stand upright and centered on the steeply sloped foundation it calls home, or the way the shadow's presence on the grasses reminds me of a tree I cannot see.

What I Know is that it is here, where the heights of the Sky and the depths of the Ocean are separated only by a thin, white layer of fog, here in California, that I will enjoy creating my next home with David.

Now, we invite a wonder-full living situation within the Bay Area to grace our lives, and would absolutely cherish it being near the Ocean.

For all non-New Mexico clients, your sessions with me will continue over the phone, as always, and for New Mexico clients, your sessions with me will now be over the phone as they have been for the last 6 months, with flower essence products being sent through the mail. For Bay Area clients, I look forward to meeting in person for sessions once David and I are happily settled in a home of our own, and in the meantime, our sessions will continue over the phone as well.

Celebrating the act of Creation,

Jane

I AM HERE

2010-05-17T20:03:00.000-07:00

Recently, in the black-velvet-hours-of-the-night, I awoke with the awareness I had absolutely no idea where I was. What state was I in? Whose bed was I sleeping in? I turned to my snoring partner, gently nudging him awake, whispering near his ear, "David, I don't know where I am." Without moving an inch, without opening his eyes, his voice clear and soft, he replied, "You are here," then began snoring again.

My brain promptly reorganized around the Wisdom of these three simple words. I am here. I still did not have any clue what state I was in, nor whose bed I was sleeping in, but he was right. I was there, in that bed, in that state, in that moment.

It's been 5 1/2 months since David and I stepped outside the familiar comfort zone of our home in Santa Fe. With our belongings in storage and suitcases lightly packed, we opened wide, embarking upon a pilgrimage, a pilgrimage to the home within, Knowing the external home will follow. Wise and supportive friends and strangers alike remind us to take however much time we need.

Occasionally, I wake in that same place of not knowing where I am. The difference now is that I am remembering more and more often, I am here. Clients sometimes ask nervously at the start of a phone session, "Where are you now?" With increasing confidence, I'm learning to say, "I am here."

Softly, I send my love your way . . .

SANTA FE VISIT

2010-05-17T15:28:00.000-07:00

From Wednesday, May 26 to Friday, June 4, I'll be in Santa Fe, New Mexico with my partner, David. We'll be attending the wedding of our friends and former neighbors, Kate and Trent, as well as visiting with dear, dear friends before heading back to California for further exploration on where we'd like to make our next home.

For those with scheduled bookings during this time, we'll have our phone session as planned. I have a few remaining openings during that week as well for anyone in New Mexico or elsewhere who wants to contact me for an Intuitive Reading and/or Flower Essence Session Series. I'll be happy to be available to you.

Now is a perfect time to place your order for Flower Essence products so that I have time to lovingly fill your order prior to my travels.

So very many Blessings to you!

Jane

WHISPERS FROM THE WOMB

2010-03-25T19:21:00.000-07:00

This image of the golden lotus immersed in the rich, dark realms is a photograph I created in Thailand during my recent travels there. It represents perfectly the vibrational quality of my Life Journey at this time.

The last several months have called me into the Sanctuary of the Inner Realms for study, introspection, and personal development.

From this Womb, I invest my Trust in the Creative Process, and my Faith in the Unseen. It is a time for Nurturing Self, for Listening, for Waiting.

With ever greater depth, I remain available for Intuitive Readings and Flower Essence Session Series. My email communications may be less frequent for a while.

My whispers from the womb, to you, dear soul, are soft and simple:

I am here, now, with my Self as I am.
This allows me to be here, now, with you as you are.
I continue to cherish offering my loving support for your Sacred Life Journey as well as for my own.

Bowing gently, and with Love,

Jane

HOLDING CENTER, WITH LOVE

2010-01-22T19:45:00.000-08:00

The beautiful image to the right was created by me during a visit David and I made to the temple Wat Chedi Luang in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Her downward gaze, the prayerful posture of her hands, and their position near her heart remind me of the importance of holding center, with love, particularly in the midst of feeling challenged.

It's been 9 days since my beloved partner, David, and I arrived in Thailand. Our stay in the country near Doi Saket, and our frequent travels to the city of Chiang Mai have been a challenge for our bodies. The combination of car exhaust in the city and smoke-filled air in the country from the daily burning of underbrush came as a surprise to us along with the physical effect it has had on our bodies.

As I practice, practice, practice holding center, with love, I realize I am immersed in a steady process of assimilating all that I am observing, each experience encouraging me into further awareness. With utmost respect for the process, I allow ancient memories held in the salt of my tears to be released; I identify what nourishes me and what I find depleting; and most importantly, I recognize it is okay to move on. Not only is this moving on okay, it is the way in which to most clearly honor the Wisdom that arises from my ongoing practice of holding center, with love.

Now, I bow softly to Thailand, to the lovely people who've touched our lives here, and to all we have experienced in this place of gentle smiles.

Holding center, with love,

Jane

COMPLETION, FULLFILLMENT, WHOLENESS

2009-12-31T18:12:00.000-08:00

This lovely image of the nearly Full Moon was captured by me several nights ago as David and I walked the Oceanside Trail at Land's End in San Francisco.

On this final night of 2009
in the vibration of a Cancer Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
during this beautiful Blue Moon
in the midst of this Winter season

during this time of completion, fulfillment, and wholeness,

I send my Love your way, beauty-full and precious Soul. May your every moment be infused with gentle blessings throughout the New Year.

Softly, respectfully, gratefully, Jane

Blessed Holy Day...Every Day

2009-12-24T11:43:00.000-08:00

Every day is a holy day ... a holiday.

Living from this perspective allows me the glorious opportunity to practice being in relationship with the magic present within each and every moment.

I remember late one Summer evening experiencing Christmas. It most certainly caught my attention, and I was inspired to whisper softly to a loved one, "Shhh, listen, it feels just like Christmas right now!" I am graced with that same peace-full sensation from time to time, and when I am, I ask my Self why I associate it with Christmas? Here is what I hear each time I ask:

"In these blessed moments, there is a keen awareness of a deep and abiding wellspring of stillness within, not stagnation or contraction, but rather that pulsing, alive, infinitely expansive kind of stillness that awakens us to the Glory, the Magic, and the Love permeating every single cell, of every single thing, in every single moment."

So dear soul, it is now, from this experiential place of Knowing, in honor of this holy-day-season, and in honor of your presence in my life and mine in yours that ...

I pause,

easing into the Pulsing Rhythms of Stillness,

and from this Glorious place, I hold you,
softly,
tenderly,
respectfully,
in the heart of my awareness,
in the magic of this moment.

All Love to you on this and every holy day, beauty-full and Love-filled Divine Being!

Bowing deeply,

Jane

TIME AVAILABILITY: 9 am – 5 pm

HOSPICE OF THE TWIN CITIES warmly welcomed me in September to introduce them to flower essences.

I look forward to seeing you!

With loving support,
Jane

My availability

2009-10-19T20:00:00.000-07:00

Minnesota Clients: From November 12 through November 16 I'll be working in Minnesota, and will be available for in-person sessions.

Santa Fe Clients: Through the end of December, I will be available for in-person sessions in Santa Fe. Beginning February 2009, I'll be available for phone sessions.

All Clients: During the month of January, 2010, I will be out-of-the-office, Journeying with my partner, David, in Asia.

To maintain and nurture your relationship with your flower essence blend and the intentions you set for your Self, be sure to plan ahead by scheduling sessions during the month of December, and placing orders for flower essence products and refills of your personal flower essence blend by Monday, December 28th so I may fill your order prior to being away in January.

February, 2010 and on: While I do not yet know where my partner and I will choose to make our next home, I will be available for phone sessions in February after returning from our Journey to Asia.

If I sum this up, I’ll be away and Journeying during the month of January, and will have a new mailing address sometime in February. I’ll keep you posted!

Magical blessings to us all!
Jane

Art-full movement and change

2009-10-10T18:35:00.000-07:00

Through the Practice of Creative Expression and The Art of Inner Listening, my beloved partner, David, and I put our Santa Fe home on the market on September 1. As of October 5, it is under contract with "Andrea," a beauty-full woman we feel blessed to be passing our sweet house on to. The plants outside will be thrilled to receive her loving care, and she will feel nourished by the offerings of this simple sanctuary.

David and I will place our belongings into storage and then rent or house-sit in Santa Fe until the first week in January.

Together, David and I are gifting our Selves with an opportunity to Journey to Asia during the month of January, 2010. During that time, we will be deepening our relationship with the "home within," while Listening for where we want to Create our next physical home.

This Choice to allow our Selves one month of exploration gives us the desired space and freedom to slow down, to soften into being, to listen, and to respond to all that presents as guideposts on our Journey. I'll keep you posted as to our new home location as that becomes clear. We are curious to see where we feel led by the Wonder of our own Inner Guidance.

Note to Santa Fe Clients: You will notice my "change in address" more than other clients simply because early next year, I'll be moving my home outside the state of New Mexico. While the clients I serve in 18 different states are used to receiving my support via phone sessions, I understand this will be a new experience for you.

I will continue being available to you, and will send your flower essences through the mail, 3-day service, and with the same loving attention and devotion, all while you remain in the comforts of your own home for the session.

In the Spirit of Joyous Transformation,
Jane
