Yesterday my youngest went back to school for the first time in a year after homeschooling and at a new school in a new location. He has been taking a personalized vibrational plant medicine blend for a few months to support him in this new challenge and change in his life. He was so calm this morning and excited! Which is huge for him (and me) as school has always been a very challenging place for him! His blend had done wonders!
I find that vibrational plant medicine blends work really well with children as they have no prior conditioning around this type of subtle energetic medicine, so they are open to it, and they have less accumulated stress, core negative beliefs and programming, enabling the medicine to directly address the issues at hand.
I selected 8 NZ native vibrational plant medicines from the First Lightยฎ range to create his supportive blend ~
๐ฟ No. 4 Marlborough Rock Daisy flower essence for feeling good about oneself + having courage.
๐ฟ No. 7 Mountain Parahebe flower essence to support being receptive to new information + to be at ease with communicating.
๐ฟ No. 8 Matata flower essence for mental flexibility + adaptability + to support being a student.
๐ฟ No. 9 Koru flower essence to support concentration +learning capacity.
๐ฟ No. 25 Kลwhai flower essence to support adjusting to a major change of going back to school at a new school in a new location.
๐ฟ No. 35 Creeping Pratia flower essence to maintain emotional sensitivity without taking on the energies of others.
๐ฟ No. 46 Tลtara tree essence for a sense of empowerment, mental discipline + strength of will.
๐ฟ No. 76 Native Hawthorn plant essence to experience inner harmony, cope with a new situation + to allow the energy to flow.
๐ If you would like a personalized vibrational plant medicine blend created for your child to support them with an issue they may be experiencing, I offer consultations for infants, children and adolescents as well as adults. To BOOK or for any questions please email me ๐๐ป

Last week walking along my local beach I spotted Coastal Convolvulus plant nestled in amongst the other coastal plants on the foreshore hill. It was the first time I've seen this NZ native plant in real life. A real treat as it is my energetic constitutional plant essence!
NZ native vibrational plant medicine No. 71 Coastal Convolvulus from First Lightยฎ supports us with the soul lesson and challenge of having the capacity for self-examination and self-reflection.
Coastal Convolvulus carries the energetic medicine of ~
~ Taking time for introspection + having the capacity to go within + contemplate.
~ Restoration of your spirit + inner silence + stillness.
~ Practicing self-reflection + developing inner counsel + reliance.
~ Enjoying a rich inner life + having a spiritual orientation.
~ Supporting you on your vision quest when needing to seek a new direction in life.
The healing energy of Coastal Convolvulus is a beautiful support for those who are here to be with and connect to Self so they can share their wisdom with ease to help others.

Stress and trauma vibrate an energy within the body, within the nervous system and the bioenergetic and structured water systems, of chaos and incoherency. These disordered frequencies when left unhealed and unintegrated and out of rhythm create dis-ease within the body, leading to symptoms of mental, emotional and physical disease.
๐ฟ Vibrational plant medicines harmonize these chaotic and incoherent frequencies, shifting our energy, and therefore our nervous, bio-energetic, and bio-water systems, into a more ordered, organized and structured state. This state creates more flow, more communication, more energy and information movement throughout our system which is vital for our health and wellbeing. ๐
The First Lightยฎ range of vibrational plant medicines that I work with in my plant medicine practice work on harmonizing very specific frequencies of mental, emotional, and spiritual stressors and traumas.
~
Our body has the ability to self-heal when given the opportunity to do so.
Vibrational plant medicines support this innate self-healing by removing distorted and incoherent energies from our biofield that contribute towards the nervous system dysregulation underlying chronic pain and health conditions.
By removing the distorted and incoherent energies from stored chronic psychological stress and trauma, the relaxation state, which is the healing state of the body, is enhanced.
๐ฟ What I love about working with the First Lightยฎ range of vibrational plant medicines is that there is a plant medicine for every type of mental and emotional stress pattern and trauma. This allows me to select very specific medicines to support my clients with the psychological stressors and stored trauma unique to them and their nervous system dysregulation. Giving targeted healing support.

The state of our nervous system informs our psychology. The types of thoughts and emotions, and naturally arising behaviours, we have in relationship to our experiences in life are a direct reflection of our nervous system and what state it is in, in that moment, in each experience.
A nervous system in a stressed state of sympathetic will reflect a psychology that is stressed. This will manifest as anxiety, ruminating looping thoughts, negative thinking, mental and emotional tension, anger, irritability, urgency mindset, defensiveness, heightened hypervigilant mind, over emotional sensitivity, and/or stuck in one predominant thought or emotion.
To create a healthy psychology that is not stressed, where our mental and emotional patterns are calm and balanced, we need to regulate our nervous system.
A regulated nervous system, a nervous system in state of calm ventral, will reflect a psychology that is calm. This will manifest as having the capacity to regulate our thoughts and our emotions, being open-minded, being able to experience a range of emotions, positive thought patterns, expansive thinking, and being open and in the moment to respond psychologically with authentic thoughts and have true emotions aligned to the moment.
Because our psychology can dysregulate us (as well as being impacted by our dysregulation) we can support nervous system regulation and a state of ventral calm by shifting the energy of specific mental and emotional patterns that create dysregulating stress and/or trauma.
๐ฟ Vibrational plant medicines are a wonderful and natural way to support a regulated and calm nervous system state by transforming energies of mental and emotional stress and trauma that keep us in a dysregulated stressed and stuck state. ๐โจ๐ฆ
~
~ Vibrational plant medicines harmonize frequencies of stress and trauma that vibrate a chaotic and incoherent energy within our system. ~
By harmonizing frequencies of stress and trauma quantum/vibrational plant medicines help to create an energy that is ordered and organized within the body. Ordered and organized energy gives rise to ordered and organized bio-waters (our biological living waters within) which gives rise to ordered and organized functioning of our physiology, psychology and psyche. An ordered and self-organizing body, mind and soul is where self-healing takes place.
By harmonizing frequencies of stress and trauma quantum/vibrational plant medicines also help to create a vibration coherent with calm, openness, and flow. That is coherent with our true selves, our original blueprint, and the us beneath the psychological stress and stored traumatic experiences. The space where we can grow, evolve and feel and experience life in each and every moment as it is for us in that moment, unimpeded by the conditioning of our stress and trauma. Through clear eyes and a clear heart.
~
Each vibrational plant medicine carries a unique healing frequency that supports our calm and regulation.
When we take vibrational plant medicines we resonate on a vibrational level with the specific harmonious and healthy frequencies and healing medicine of the plants.
When our bioenergetic system is coherent (in alignment or in resonance) with frequency patterns of vibrational harmony, our physiology, psychology and psyche shifts from a state of stress and into a state of relaxation and restoration, calm and regulation.
We cannot heal in a stressed state on any level of our being. To truely heal we need to be calm and regulated. For the body and mind to self-heal and for us to have the capacity to practice self healing.
Vibrational plant medicines support a healing state by transforming specific chaotic and unhealthy frequencies of psychological stress and trauma into organized and health inducing frequencies that support a vibration of flow, coherence and health.
~
Healing is creating regulation in our system, and we can do this by taking care of our physical needs through proper nutrition/hydration, sleep/rest, exercise/movement absolutely we can, AND we need to be taking care of our bio-energetic needs.
The structure of our energies, whether they are chaotic or ordered, impacts the functioning of vital life force throughout the system and how our biological living waters are structured and therefore function.
When the structure of our energies and bio-waters are chaotic and disordered this sends signals of danger and threat to the nervous system. When this occurs chronically the nervous system will shift into a state of dysregulation.
Dysregulation is not where healing takes place. Healing happens when we are in a state of systemic regulation.
It is the vibrational frequencies of psychological stress and trauma, held in the bio-energetic system and in our structured water system, that create chaotic and disordered energies signalling on a cellular level that we are unsafe.
The nervous system is a system designed by Nature to detect threat and danger, it is a system of survival, its job is to sense threats on all levels of our being BOTH physical and energetic.
When we do not clear the vibrational frequencies of held unprocessed mental and emotional stress and trauma from our bio-energetic system it sits there signalling that we are not safe. Our nervous system reads this information and acts accordingly shifting into a survival state of either fight or flight (sympathetic) or shutdown (dorsal) so we can cope with this 'threat'. And until we shift, transform and clear these chaotic energies the nervous system will keep us in one or both of these survival states, which is dysregulation.
To heal, to get regulated, we need to address our physical needs AND our energetic needs.
We are body and spirit.

The health, healing and regulation of our nervous system, so we can shift out of (or prevent) chronic unwellness, involves addressing aspects of our lives that are contributing towards our nervous system being in a dysregulated and imbalanced state. From being stuck in a sympathetic (fight or flight) autonomic nervous system state, often referred to as sympathetic dominance, where our bodies are in a chronic 'wear and tear' physiology that manifests as physical, mental and emotional health issues.
So what aspects of our lives can contribute towards our nervous system becoming and staying dysregulated?
Some aspects that vibrational plant medicine can help us address include ~
~ Emotional stress
~ Mental stress
~ Spiritual disconnection
~ Trauma
~ Soul loss
~ Toxic relationships
๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ
Addressing and working on these contributing aspects supports our nervous system health and healing.

Living a healing lifestyle is creating a life where we engage in daily practices that help us to regulate our nervous system and increase a sense of calm, peace and serenity and build capacity, strength and resiliency so we can better cope with everyday stressors that are a part of living in our modern culture.
When we are better able to cope with the stressors of modern life by living a healing lifestyle, we can reduce our susceptibility to psychosomatic illness (symptoms and chronic health conditions caused by stress).
Creating a healing lifestyle will look very different for each and every person. However, there are several general practices we can all benefit from that will support the regulation of our nervous system and cultivation of a healing lifestyle as our medicine.
๐ General daily practices to support nervous system regulation ~
๐๐ฅฆ Eating low inflammatory foods (such as fresh fruits and vegetables *intolerance/allergy dependent)
๐ฆ๐ง Drinking clean filtered water
๐ถ๐ผโโ๏ธ๐ง๐ผโโ๏ธ Movement (such as exercise, yoga, pilates, dance, martial arts)
๐ด๐ค Getting plenty of good quality sleep
โจ To make these general daily healing practices achievable, and to not create more stress, I have found 'switching it out' the easiest way to implement. Switch out sugary muffins or muesli bars for fruit at morning tea. Switch out pasta for vegetables at dinner. Switch out a coffee or fizzy drink for a glass of water. Switch out watching television or scrolling on social media for movement. Switch out going out or cleaning the house at nights for relaxation before sleep time and an extra hour sleep. All of these general healing practices support the nervous system and our physical and psychological health.
~ Living a healing lifestyle is medicine ~
A dysregulated nervous system can show up in our lives as chronic pain and/or chronic physical and/or psycho-emotional health issues.
A dysregulated nervous system can also show up in our lives as exhaustion, fatigue, lethargy and/or sleep problems.
When I was training to become a Naturopath and Herbalist I started seeing a pattern with my clients. Regardless of their health condition/s and reason for seeking treatment, they all had one thing in common - autonomic nervous system dysregulation, specifically sympathetic nervous system dominance. I continued to see this pattern of dysregulation in clinic with clients (including children) after graduating.
I was starting to see the impact stress has on the system and how this was contributing to chronic health and pain conditions. Interestingly, I noticed these same clients were experiencing psycho-emotional difficulties such as anxiety, depression, negative repetitive thinking and feeling stuck in their lives. And even more interesting I noted their shared stories of trauma, some going as far back as childhood.
This led me to follow my intuition, which was telling me at the time that there was more to the picture, there had to be a link between chronic conditions, the nervous system and trauma. And (after much research, which I am still taking a deep dive into, and training in a new modality supportive of my newfound knowledge) I discovered there absolutely is!
When healing from chronic pain and chronic health conditions it is vitally important that a part of the healing plan involves working on the nervous system and shifting it out of a dysregulated state.
Trauma is one stressor that dysregulates our nervous system. Healing our trauma is an important part of the picture in supporting the healing of our chronic physical and psycho-emotional conditions.
New Zealand native flower essence Creeping Pratia is a beautiful plant medicine for those who have a sensitive nervous system and are very receptive to information in their environment and the thoughts and feelings of those around them.
This is the essence for the sensitive who is extremely affected energetically by their surroundings and by the energies of others and as a result experience a rollercoaster of emotions causing confusion and anxiety, and a sense of being mentally scattered.
Creeping Pratia is a great support for those who constantly feel energetically drained or who have experienced long periods of suffering.

Clematis plant essence is a great essence for those with addictive or repetitive behaviours or who are suffering from addictions.
Addictive type behaviour and addictions derive from creating a way to cope with feelings of overwhelm often associated with stress and being traumatized. Addictions are a way of suppressing the emotional pain by rediverting and rechanneling this powerful energy elsewhere. Addictions serve as a coping strategy and mechanism of protection from the immense and overwhelming fear of feeling psychological pain, disempowerment, a lack of control and feelings of unease in the body.
Although addictive behaviours and addictions are an intelligent way of coping with threat, of survival, they create a massive dis-connect, prevent growth and evolvement, contribute towards relational problems, and cause physiological, psychological and spiritual harm.
๐ฟ First Lightยฎ NZ native plant essence No. 77 Clematis can support those with addictions to ~
๐ Overcome terror and fear of the known
๐ Feel protected and uplifted
๐ Be liberated from disempowering people or situations
๐ Have and create order out of chaos
๐ Feel at ease in their body
๐ Ground and connect
๐ Choose personal evolution over devolution
๐ Clematis essence supports the soul growth of being unafraid, reclaiming personal power, facing fears, emotional and mental freedom from fear, and being fully present. โจ๐ฆ๐ฟ
