It also helps us release a higher potential of strength during a sport competition and it helps people gradually recover their energy after a long illness.

We notice our own strength and enjoy being able to protect others and to show kindness toward other people. We learn to communicate clearly with other people and to develop tenderness. On the spiritual level: The bear teaches us the importance of hearing our inner voice and become creators of our life. By shaping our lives, we prepare the changes and create something new. We learn to act, on the basis of our strength, in accordance with God and nature and so we find stability and inner guidance being able to help others with our protection and strength. Note: during the preparation of the essence I saw the bear standing on its hind legs and communicating through the heart. When I finished the preparation, it returned to its four legs.

2. Fire Salamander (Salamander maculosa)
firesalamader
Salamander Essence: It lovingly reminds us of our past and it helps us integrate it. The amphibians represent a very old evolutionary scale within the history of the evolution of the animal kingdom. On the body level: The salamander helps balance the fire of the people and regenerate it. The fire is force of action, fulfillment, heat, creative power, enthusiasm and sexuality. If we have used too much of this energy, we have an energy imbalance. The salamander helps us regenerate this force and balance its energy. In acupuncture, the essence acts very well on the meridian points corresponding to fire element. It possesses a strong regeneration force. On the emotional level: The Salamander helps us use our force to heal old wounds. Certain feelings that have been injured in the past can be healed on the energy level. We become aware of our rich inheritance and thus our self-esteem increases.

On the spiritual level: Salamander essence can help people who are rootless, either by having emigrated or by not knowing their parents or their origin. It lovingly reminds us of our origin through dreams and sensations. Thus, we are allowed to look at our origins full of rich traditions that make us proud and increase our self-esteem. If in this aspect there were some conflicts or problems, the essence would help develop comprehension and humility so that old conflicts can be released and they are no longer blockages and our love towards life can fully develop. We can lovingly integrate our cultural and genetic origin.

3. Frog (Rana esculenta)
frog
On the body level: The frog helps us get free from obstructions that were created as a result of accumulation of feelings. Repressed emotions take us automatically to body blockages and tense muscles. We feel inwardly crowded. Utmost, this can be one of the causes by which we get cancer.

On the emotional level: The essence helps us accept our true deepest feelings. We enter our interior emotional world and thus we happily jump towards our soul which just then can free itself of large burden strengthening our self-esteem and we get the courage to take the next step i.e. we get closer to other people instead of simply ignoring our feelings and turning a blind eye. By interacting with other people, we take part in group dynamics similar to a chorus that will let us achieve extraordinary results. On the spiritual level: The leap towards our feelings generates a liberating blow. We learn that we can continue developing inwardly by expressing our emotions. We learn the importance of keeping our emotional field "clean". The frog can help us heal old deep emotional wounds, release blockages and be able to show our feelings freely instead of drowning ourselves in them. As animals of cold blood, the frog shows us how to express our feelings without drowning in them. Note: During the elaboration of the essence something extraordinary happened: In a corner of the pond, there were many frogs together that were there to help me in the elaboration of the essence. At the beginning there was silence, but just as I started with the elaboration, all the frogs began with a rhythmic song, in unison which ceased when the elaboration of the essence had finished. At that time, I could only feel gratitude and respect towards the Creation of God.

4. Hare (Lepus europaeus)
hare
Hare essence: This essence increases the capacity for empathy and perception, especially the listening capacity. Our perception becomes sharp and we are more sensitive to the environment. There is a German saying: "Sei kein Hasenfuss" which literally translated means “Don't be a rabbit's foot" which popularly means that one must learn to cope with the obligations and fears. On the body level: The hare essence increases our vital energy and our vitality. We become fresher and more attentive and it also increases our sexuality. It works as an energy source of renewal by increasing our attention and exacerbating our senses. The essence especially works on the listening capacity, the ears and our acoustic ability.

Many people are permanently exposed to background noise or damage their ears when listening to loud music. It is currently very difficult to find a peaceful place, free of noises. The essence places us in our center and increases our power of concentration. We learn to listen to the others paying attention to what they say, to perceive acoustically, but also to hear once again our inner voice. On the emotional level: By having a better perception of ourselves and of the exterior, our feeling of security is increased. We are once again safe and centered. We recover our courage and as a result many fears disappear. Through the increase of our energy, we are again conscious of our vital energy and then we are able to get closer to other people and we regain confidence. So fears of closeness may disappear and we become more loving. The increase in our vitality also increases our self-healing forces. On the spiritual level: We are no longer victims. In the same way that the hare serves as food for other animals, the fact that the smallest sacrifice themselves for the greatest and it will thus become part of something greater is a law of nature. Thanks to new self-confidence, we learn to overcome our fears and to modify our behavior toward fleeing. We also learn to deal with our problems and trust in God's protection. This is mainly an aid for people with problems of drug abuse and other addiction problems. The wounds of the inner child and the behavior related to the position of victim and the feeling of helplessness can be transformed.

5. Dragonfly (Libellula odonata)
dragonfly
Dragonfly Essence: This is an essence that helps us take our emotions from murky waters to the mental transparent plane. It unites the elements water and air, the emotional and the intellectual planes. Being a larva, it lives in murky waters, which correspond to our emotional level, and then it flies to the freedom of the mind. On the body level: If we feel trapped by our feelings and moods and may even develop symptoms such as headaches, contractures and even depression, the essence helps us transform this on the energy level and to dissolve it. On the emotional level: We learn to control our emotions so that "we do not fish passively in the murky” and we can get away from the role of victims and the feeling of dread and helplessness. The essence strengthens our intuition and promotes empathy. On the spiritual level: We learn to better use our knowledge. We go beyond our emotions and we see our goal clearly and precisely. The essence gives us the wisdom to learn from our mistakes, to use our knowledge and our power properly. It helps us replace old patterns and it frees us inwardly. We communicate directly with God and thus we give a new meaning to our actions. Note: Some years ago, during a meditation, we received the call for help of the last Yangtze River dolphins, a member of our group traveled to the Far East to help them by activating the water with Delph essence. He did not feel quite sure regarding when and where to work. It was then that dragonflies appeared showing each time where and how he should perform the water activation. This fact was repeated a few times and the dragonflies were always present.

hawk-moth
Hawk moth Essence: It helps you choose the right path, gives lightness and frees you from stiff situations. The essence breaks away from fixed patterns. On the body level: The hawk moth helps us clear our minds when the same thoughts are repeated over and over again and when we have the sensation of being as in an inner fog. A static thinking frequently also generates a rigid posture and tension mainly on the back and shoulder area. If we become aware of this, the essence can help us free ourselves internally and be more relaxed. On the emotional level: It helps us become free of devious feelings that appear from old patterns. It helps us become aware and differentiate our behavior from that of our father or of our mother. It is precisely in situations of stress that we tend to behave exactly the same way as our parents – even though that is something we strongly dislike.

During these situations, we generate such an internal pressure that it is visible at all levels, feeling internally miserable. The essence provides a fresh breeze to our emotional world. We recognize the things that do not belong to us and so it will be easier to let them go, and then we´ll feel internally relieved and released. On the spiritual level: This is an essence of transformation, liberation and development of the soul. As soon as we free ourselves from static patterns, we begin to breathe internally and our own beauty and our spiritual potential can radiate outward.

The current ideals of beauty, from the world of fashion, show quasi starving models, which is a harmful influence, mainly for young people, who are in puberty and in a stage of life in which they are trying to discover their true selves. Teens often feel that do not have the ideal body shape, they believe that they are fat and if this is associated with emotional problems, they can develop eating disorders, which may even be life-threatening.
