CREATIVE ESSENCE

This is my experience of Creative which used to be called Heartsong. It helps open the heart and throat chakras to enable one to express oneself fully and deeply.

My father died recently after a short illness. He had had a full and productive life and had just celebrated his 80th birthday at a big party with family and friends. Although I have no experience of public speaking, I was to read a something at his funeral and had chosen 'The Farewell'‚ from Mahlers Song of The Earth which I found among his papers.
I practiced reading it, and usually became quite emotional while doing so, but my reading was impersonal and somehow unsatisfactory. When I started taking Creative Essence, however, not only did my voice relax and strengthen, but I also found a new understanding of the poem and was more attuned to the importance of the inflection of each word and how that affected the meaning.
As I continued to learn with the help of Creative Essence, I found a place of stillness deep inside from which I could express this beautiful, lonely poem.
In the church, I took a few drops just before I was to speak. Although it was an emotional occasion I was able to keep my centre and express myself from this deep place giving the poem a quality that was personal to me and spoke directly of my relationship with my father. Many people afterwards said how beautiful it had been.
Creative Essence enables us to give full voice in our self expression. Whether through speaking, writing, painting, dancing, or any other form, it seems to open the gates and allow us to sing.
