Place a few drops to a dropperful, on your tongue.

The effect is immediate with ongoing ripples, so take a moment to be with it.

Notice the very subtle, but distinct, shift in your being. 

Taking the essence repeatedly can eventually teach you how to make this shift on your own.

Taking an essence is a way of bringing the vibration into your body and energetic system. A few drops are enough to do this, and you can take them on your tongue, or put a few drops on your wrists and rub them together if you don't want to ingest the slight amount of alcohol.

Because of the wonderful taste of my portal and actualizing essences (bottled in flavored liqueurs and water) many people like to take up to a dropperful. "A dropperful" means however much comes into the dropper when you squeeze it and then release it, which tends to fill the glass dropper about halfway. There's no need to load up the dropper all the way, since you don't want too much alcohol as that could distract from the experience of the essence itself. Only a few drops are needed for the effect of the essence, but you can take half or all of what loads up in the dropper. There are about 100 shifts in consciousness per 2 oz bottle, taking dropperfuls.

You can take an essence once or even multiple times a day. For more effect, take the essence more often (rather than more of it at one time), because the effect comes from the shift it helps you make. So, the more times you make the shift the more potent the overall effect in your life. If the effect feels like too much, take it less often or stop taking it for a while.

When you take the essence, closing your eyes for 15-20 seconds gives you a moment to consciously experience the energetic shift the essence can help you make. Each time to you take the essence, it's teaching you how to make that shift in your energetic state.

At first you might tend to take the essence a lot, maybe even multiple times in a day, getting to know the new energy experience. Then, as it becomes more familiar, you'll know when you want to feel it or when you need it, and then take the essence accordingly. After a while, you may not be as drawn to taking the essence, or you may not even feel as much of a shift, because you've incorporated it into your being. After that, you might take it from time to time, or it might come back around to being useful at a later date.

Once you've gotten to know the shift through taking an essence, you can practice making it on your own. Maybe you're out in the world one day and find yourself wishing you had some Restructuring essence. Just close your eyes and take a moment, like you would when taking the essence, and lean into the shift you remember it making, and feel the shift, this is how you "Restructure" yourself. 

You can use more than one essence during the same time period, just take them at different times in the day. Perhaps you'd have one to get you moving strongly embodied into your day, another to relax into your being later in the day, and perhaps a third to journey with in meditation or dreamwork. Sometimes it's good to focus on one essence, and at other times an array of essences can support the multi-faceted transformations as they unfold in your life.

              How to Choose the Right Essences for You

How to Store Essences

• Keep the bottles out of heat or direct sunlight
• Stored upright as much as possible to keep the plastic dropper parts from decaying
• Try not to touch the glass dropper tip with your mouth or hands
• in which case most essences should last for many years.

Leave them out someplace where you can see them, to be reminded to use them!
