One Garden Essences

Fabulous give-aways at this years Botanical Bazaar at Nerang Paradise Country Parklands. An event not to be missed for garden, nature and sustainable living lovers.

Have you had your daily dose of nature today?

The day will come when you go to the mirror and for the very first time you can see with clear eyes looking deeply into the eyes looking back, feeling with an open, honest, loving, embracing heart and you are able to say:

"Hello beautiful - you're amazing and I love you. More to the point, I SEE YOU as you are and I get you...I'm here with you...I'm standing with you and I believe in you".

The imposter who told you all those lies is finally silenced, no longer having a voice full of deceitful words of hatred, rejection, criticism, opinions, comparisons, bullying and taunting .

It takes time, patience, compassion, courage and persistent willingness to feel the wounds and pain of childhood trauma that has filled you with shame and disgust to resolve. But faithfully, there will come a day when you can look in the mirror and be able to truly say those words of love to the one in the mirror.

Along the way, through the process, there is help and guidance to safely and bravely take you to the places where your inner hurt children of various ages live within, who need your love and acceptance to heal.

For each place and stage of your healing, One Garden Essences are here to help you find those hidden beautiful qualities waiting to be discovered, to be your encouragement with truth.

Just like this essence - I SEE ME from For The Love of Children garden created directly from nature from the magnificent Sunflower who reminds you of the truth that you exist in the glory of your presence, who can be seen, heard, embraced and most importantly healed.

We're here for you, to support you in your journey to find the real authentic you and your amazing potential.

2024 Botanical Bazaar in on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 August.

Bring your kids, partner, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends for a great day out filled with everything about fun in the nature and the garden.

There's always a great line up of interesting speakers from Gardening Australia and regional and local identities.

One of my fav's is making a flower crown with Flowers by Julia Rose - well known internationally for her amazing skill to transform flowers, leaves and plants into works of art!! She has a book published called Colour My World.

I will be doing a talk on the Secret Power of Flowers on Saturday and Sunday.

We gotta get back to the garden!

Life has been crazy busy for the past months, spending more time inside on the computer and less time in nature...the very thing that keeps me connected and vital.

I noticed I was more anxious, reactive and sleeping poorly. I was becoming numb.

Something had to change...

I put the brakes on...

It was time to go bush...

No more excuses...

Ahhh...relief! As I walked along a new track I'd found, immersing in the essence of nature, I found my whole nervous system began to calm...I could feel the essence of me again. I found me again...

I found a tree to sit with, the lichen soothed me and the flowers delighted me.

I will be talking about the Secret Power of Flowers at this years Botanical Bazaar at Nerang on the 3 & 4 August. Its a great vibrant weekend to come play and delight in.

In the meantime, make sure you're getting your daily dose of nature.

"The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it is not. It is an existential truth: only those people capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of the other person - without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other. They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other."

For the past days its been consistently raining. Today the sun was shining, the air was fresh and clean which reminded what its like after I've had a healthy emotional process.

Here is an 11 minute chat about how crying is an key element of our healing and growth.

Cry Like The Clouds Christine Cobden is the "midwife" of One Garden Essences, a range of flower essences that help people restore their natural way of being an emotional human. ...

Divine Revelation Essence (White Bat Plant) for when life feels messy and knotted inside, and everything is like a mystery and we don't understand the why's or what's of it all.

This botanical calls for the curious, the adventurer, the truth seeker, the brave daring to ask questions, daring to search for the truth of causes of our pain, our addictions, the reasons for our knots and blocks.

This botanical goes through many stages and chapters of story, unravelling, unknotting, unfurling to reveal its final, glorious treasure, laden with seeds of truth for the next generation of its life.

A perfect partner for your journey of recovery and growth. If we watch this botanical through its unfolding, it teaches us the way of healing, the focus, the desire and actions we need to do to unpack ourselves from our chaotic, messy complicated life.

Can you imagine a world without trees to sit under, flowers to enjoy and the sublime ambience of walking in a rainforest?

Here I am enjoying the dandelions in our backyard lawn that I let go wild for a time.

When I'm not feeling well or I'm feeling heavy with emotions, nature is the place I go for guidance, nurturance and a reality check.

In this One Garden Story Telling Blog, I write about how botanicals, from their first flowering upon earth, through the ages have been supportive and vital for our wellbeing on every level.

It was at the crack of dawn on Valentine's Day 2009 when the very important essence of Divine Love was created from the Angelwings begonia.

Important because it came with a powerful message about the true meaning and transforming power of Gods love.

This essence sparked a curiosity within me to go in search of the true meaning and essence of Divine Love. I found many versions of Divine Love but nothing matched the information through the doctrine of signatures until I finally found a match. This set my life a completely new path which has transformed my life, filling me with such wonder.

Divine Love comes directly from our soul's creator, God. Its like mother's milk for our soul to truly thrive and flourish. We can call upon this love, soul to soul from God when we truly want the real source of love. Each time we receive Divine Love, our soul becomes more divine, more angelic and causes us to change to being more loving and truthful. Our soul is an expandable container, the holy grail, the golden chalice to receive God's Divine Love.

Such a beautiful thing...this is not magic, its the real story of our life.

Then I found my soulmate, my one-true and eternal love.

A chat about our inbuilt north star...

Our Inbuilt North Star Christine Cobden of One Garden Essences describes her journey, which began with a feeling and decision of wanting better for herself and children. Over 30 ye...

Over the years I have connected to some beautiful dear friends.

Laura is an artist, musician and poet and all round sweet woman. Everything she does is heartfelt, inspiring and honest. Here is Tear Ducts from her extensive list of poems.

Tear Ducts
We all have tear ducts in the corner of our eyes,
such a small thing, but the biggest gift of our lives.
No matter what we go through, hurt, joy or shame,
we all have these flood gates just the same.
A conduit of release that if we used every day
our lives and the world would be heaven today.
For even the maddest man will lower his fists in grief
when the pain he is carrying exits in tears of relief.
And the once hollow wells will glisten and shine
and sparkle in warmth for the very first time.
If only we used our tear ducts more and
let our souls waters cascade to the floor.
No one would get hurt anymore
and love would flow into our lives.

We have a new website and blog! Yay!

I've "delivered" 160 essences to One Garden Essences. Like our children, they are beautiful gifts that come through me but are not of me. I liken myself to being their "midwife" and there are many, many stories to tell.

These essences have also been sent to me as personal gifts to support and guide my recovery from childhood trauma. I am deeply grateful to each and every one of them for their continued support and healing.

And they've come to be here for you...

I have began writing a blog to share these stories and perhaps when the time is ripe I will write the books. In the meantime, I invite you to pop over to our website, have a browse and read the new blogs.

My love of photography fills the pages.

If you have any questions about my work or want to know more about the essences, I am always happy to chat.

This is Ella talking about her healing journey to sobriety. This is her 10 year celebration of being sober.

It's been a journey of self love and recovery from trans generational trauma and inner child work.

Congratulations Ella.

how to get sober for life If you want to know how to get sober for life, in this video I share my experience with addiction and how I made it to ten years of sobriety and how you can ...

Seriously, I'm loving this book I'm reading - Parenting For A Peaceful World by Robin Grille. Every page is filled with pencil underlines and sticky tabs. And lots of loud...yes yes yes's. Its what I've felt for years and now really focussing on.

"Better childhoods equals a more peaceful world"

I've been working through my own childhood trauma over the past years and more so than ever during 2023 whilst being midwife the For The Love Of Children essences. These essences are a substantial personal support and guidance as I delve into the trauma to release.

Its so beautiful to lovingly nurture and reparent my inner children with the love they so richly deserve. I can feel shifts within in response.

I truly believe in my heart and soul that this is the most urgent personal healing work we need to focus on, because everything we're dealing with in our adult life will always, always track back to our childhood. That's where the "why's are...why am I failing, why am I addicted to doing this, why can't it do what I want to do?

That's why these essences have come into existence. I love that!

Everything that is happening to you now, yesterday and tomorrow is educational. There's always something to learn from every event, every moment of our lives.

Divine Wisdom Essence comes from a 2000-3000 years old Antarctic Beech tree. A tree that has experienced every storm, drought, fire and massive earth changes over the centuries.

This is an essence that helps people who feel they are stupid or embarrassed about learning. Or others who feel superior or inferior about learning and education. There are many ways and modes to learn, and its important to know yourself in the way you learn.

Its always best to learn from people who have truly experienced the subject and know it in their whole being, not from just an intellectual base. The greatest source of knowledge is found directly from God with whom we can communicate directly.

Like all the essences, its support is multi-levelled.

The book from which this quote is taken in the last chapter, is Through The Mists channelled by Robert James Lees. The autobiography account written in 1898 of Frederick Winterleigh (Aphraar) of his continuing life's journey in the spirit world after being killed in an accident whilst trying to save a young boy.
