PROFILE
The Sparkling Lotus Flower Essence Handbook began as a creation of the written
findings of a 5 year research project I conducted with 89 people living on three
different continents.  My purpose related to re-examination of certain proscribed
flower essence preparation assumptions.  In other words, I wanted to learn whether
or not the energetic co-operative grid I'd been guided to help create had in turn
allowed me to prepare unilaterally (rather than simply 'personally') effective flower
essences.  This was important to me since I lived in a relatively typical suburban
settlement.  I felt, if I could achieve the necessary grid balance, others could be
taught to do the same with both confidence and solid results.

As proof of the Sparkling Lotus essences' efficacy began to grow, so did my
awareness of many other flower remedies that were treasured and relied upon by a
number of the participants.  From the dual base of the SL repertory and 'Other
Favorites' I created the 300 flower profiles that comprise the Handbook's materia
medica.  For a sample Flower Profile, and a synopsis of each Handbook's section,
please read on!

The 550+ page
Handbook holds a very strong 5th and 12th dimensional focus.  It's
meant to be heavily personalized (please see Lammas Newsletter excerpt on the
Handbook's Publicity Trail page) but it also stands quite well on its own as an
EXPANDABLE learning and healing guide.   This means it's composed in a way that
reveals increasing meaning & usage the longer it's studied in direct conjunction to
plant reading development and other disciplines of the field.

The text is also reflective of my years of professional endeavors related to the
healing needs of incest & rape survivors and more than two decades of active
involvement with suicide prevention work.  This provides a very useful 'bottom
register' to the book's subtext which is often noticeably missing from other flower
essence literature.  To balance that undertow a great deal of humorous insight and
tone is applied.  This is another aspect of human reality (the utter healing necessity
of laughter) that I've found rather regrettably missing in a great deal of the
established literature.

I offer this synopsis of the Handbook's Table of Contents in the spirit of tremendous
universal love which guided and energized the entire writing process!

PREFACE - Sets the emotional and electrical tone of the book.  Written on the 2004
Summer Solstice, the text gives a brief description of that day's beautiful offerings
from the Sparkling Lotus garden beds as well as my gratitude for the very strong
12th dimensional fuel that powered so much of the
Handbook's writing process.

INTRODUCTION - Gives an overview of the research project (more detailed
information is covered in the
The Sparkling Lotus Story appearing in the book's
Resources section) and addresses the basic nature of electrical flower medicine.  
FAQS are included to enhance the reader's initial approach to the Handbook's
material.  This will be especially appreciated by those who are not yet confident of
the scope of their own sphere of electrical Flower Medicine wisdom.

WORKING WITH THE FLOWER PROFILES - Explaining the format of the profile
structure, and also introducing the VERY IMPORTANT but potentially controversial
subject of
New Age Re-covery work.  Much of my spontaneous 'off the street' client
register during the last three years of the research project, and since, has very  
clearly highlighted a fairly crucial energetic need to actively engage in such
recovery on behalf of one's self and All Others.   More FAQS are included to further
enhance the reader's inter-relationship with the
materia medica.

MATERIA MEDICA- Sample Profile









Gardenia (Ervatamia divaricata)
(earthstar is generally a strong point of First Contact with the flower’s healing
signature.  From there, the electrical imprint of the signature disperses in a steady
upward flood-crawl through the chakras and secondary nadis.  Eventually all
systems will 'flood' but the first action tends to jump from chakra column to
secondary nadis and then reverses-back to complete the flooding action)

To Heal - spurs, fissures and hairline fractures of the Inner and Outer body systems  
Often these are very old in nature and have traveled with us for a number of
lifetimes…fragmentation, especially in the psychic and etheric planes, that is the
'settling' effect of a recent attunement

To Foster - compassion and deep inner peace…Lasting psychic imprint and cellular
re-information gained during attunement process… a sweetened, less personalized
quality to periods of introspection -- This essence is a good alternative to
Honeysuckle.  The two essences can also be beautifully effective when employed in
combination

The electrical Gardenia  flower medicine signature provides the type of Light
magnetism that’s particularly well supported with a red shiso base.  I’ve worked with
the remedy many times and found it held a similar recurrent application among a
certain aspect of the
SL research project's participant bank.  These were people
who prayed seriously and unselectively for world peace as an integral part of their
dharma.  Nearly all had a strongly established affinity for the Kwan Yin and/or
Avatar archetype.  I visited more than one household with an altar containing a
picture of Martin Luther King Jr. and a small image or vase of gardenias by the
picture's side.  When asked, folks said there was no premeditation in the
arrangement, it just "felt right".  I tend to keep my own bottle of the essence tucked
behind a statue of Kwan Yin that's a stationary part of my family's unified altar space.

"I like this essence because the impact of peacework is as real as the chaotic
discord that necessitates the work.   I take this essence any time I'll be at a healing
circle where a lot of anger and other emotional chaos is likely to emerge if only as
an undercurrent.  I keep bowls with the essence in some bay rum and honey at the
corners of the rooms.  Everyone involved is made aware of this and the bowls’
purpose.  Most core 'regulars' are used to it.  Some say they crave the vibration if
they miss a month's Circle."  

The research participant who offered these insights later had an opportunity to
prepare her own gardenia essence.  "I’ve never felt as clean and lovely in my life,"
she reported.  "The more I immerse myself in this healing vibration the more alive my
hand chakras become.  This is a fully operational energy flow from the heart chakra
with NO excessive draining or 'stuck valves' that leave us overly depleted."  

NOTE:  this specific depletion often manifests physically as very stiff shoulders.
They tend to slump forward and around - instinctively protecting the over-extended
front face of the heart's spiraling energy flow.  This effectively leaves the FlipSide
completely unprotected.  Our secondary heart chakras often grow so blocked with
impacted debris that we don't even sense their existence.   Work with gardenia
essence can help tremendously.  Try combining with the
Grounded Boundaries
blend when there is ongoing evidence of a hyper-sensitive empathic system and a
need to ground in the physical body rather than "float" on the white vibration of the
gardenia signature.

"I take this before I inform myself about current events."  The
SL research participant
who stated as much shared my circumstances of living with a very astute, politically
motivated, and extremely well informed Young Adult.   We further shared a sense of
response-ability to upgrade our personal relationship to matters of linear global
happenstance.  We sought to be informed and stay that way even though it involved
topics we had skirted for years (and in my case, decades) out of a sense of
cumulative personal aversion.   My own sense of ongoing challenge was acute
enough that I welcomed this insight about gardenia remedy application.  For me, it
worked like the proverbial charm.

"Gardenia really helps keep my center," the same participant elaborated.  "Currently
we have a rash of second-chance weddings and elaborate anniversary parties for
longtime couples.  Totally not the chosen social scene for cynical hubster and
myself. I noticed right away that the stress of not digging the scene (and attending
so many emotionally charged events!!) was making my own emotional barometer go
haywire.  I was the person you see completely losing it at the wedding even though
she's not really that involved very deeply with either member of the couple.  My
husband started calling me The WTF Girl trying to snap me out of it.  Nice try.  
Didn't work.  Not unless you count the way it morphed me into the humiliated mad-at-
hubby lady sitting all alone in her car in the parking lot.  Exactly one time around the
block with that one and I prayed for insight to change it while I meditated.  Gardenia
to the rescue!"

NOTE: Teenagers may like this essence best when it's combined with Peruvian
Daffodil.  Keep in mind (when working the remedies separately or in combination)
that the teenaged passageways often have wide gaps in the windows-of-awareness
that facilitate past life memory.  Thus in early and partially-middle teens, there can
often be a special emphasis on sensory recall of a shocking and/or disjointed
nature.  Kids aren't usually in a position to understand what's happening.  It just
becomes another component in the wall of Things that makes them feel/believe
themselves to be going crazy.  Soothing that sensation with Gardenia while also
feeding the soul and spirits' deeper needs with the Peruvian Daffodil, can be an
immeasurable gift for a young person who needs tangible electrical relief and
rejuvenation.  Further note:  “stabilizing” such young people with red shiso may or
may not be advisable.  A lot will depend on whether they still do better with the
marriage of a dual vibration than they do with a tradeoff/choice of pushing
everything to the fastest frequency.

RESOURCES - Beginning with an extensive list of healing-essence
correspondence,  Continuing with step by step pragmatic instructions for preparing
and storing Mother Stocks.  Discusses stabilizer options, and provides extensive
eclectic Top Ten Tip lists including lists for beginning, intermediate and advanced
students of earth/flower medicine,  new age re-covery, blessing the modern man-
made ceque lines and more!  The story of the garden's development, and the birth
of the research project, is covered in more detail as well as an explanation of the
landscape's larger dimensions.  Annotated book and website list

PLEASE NOTE:  Some folks have written to ask about an index.  I have not included
one because its creation will be an important long-term assignment for my
students.   At a wider level of
Handbook distribution, I believe this self-governed and
admittedly labor intensive effort will benefit the learning curve of self-taught flower
medicine students as well.  I will, however, make an index of my own creation
available to those who wish it, for the cost of printing and mailing.
