Essence Selection - How to choose which Essences to use

By clicking on one of the essence names, you will be taken to the individual essence description. This information can also be found in printed form within the , which also contains two detailed indices to help you quickly choose the required essences.

The Guidebook is designed to be a tool to help you easily and confidently choose essences for yourself and others. It will be useful to you whether your primary approach to selecting an essence is through listening and observation, muscle testing, iridology (eye analysis), use of a pendulum or another method.

With Canadian Forest Tree Essences you are working with vibrational formulations: a feeling for the resonant qualities of the essences will grow over time with your knowledge and experience.

Trust your Intuition

To explore further the vibrational and resonant qualities of the essences read the book ,” by Daniel Tigner.

Individual Essence Descriptions

The Individual Essence Descriptions linked from the "" and "" pages (and in printed form in the ) are structured to allow you to quickly identify the key qualities and dynamics of an essence. Each essence description begins with a succinct synopsis of the essence, giving you its essential flavor. This is followed by keywords and phrases under the headings of: “FOR FEELINGS OF,” “PATTERNS & BEHAVIORS,” and “CONCERNS & STATEMENTS.”

Asking Key Questions to Narrow Your Choice of Essences

Often, when we are either selecting an essence for ourselves or others, many possible choices will arise. The following strategy – suggested by Alicia Rocco, who has worked more than 30 years as a healer and teacher of iridology, herbs and essences– will help you narrow down the choice of essences.

Alicia asks her client 3 questions:

What do you want to work on most?
What makes you saddest?
What makes you happiest?

Alicia says that the answers to these questions will cut through to the core issue at hand.

How Many Essences May Be Used at One Time?

Keep It Simple is a basic principle of healing: the body/mind can only handle so much input.

As a rule of thumb, narrow the choice to 1 combination essence along with 1 single essence. Two complementary or synergistically working combination essences may be used if needed. We have listed these in the Individual Essence Description under the heading of “COMPLEMENTARY ESSENCES.”

Using the Guidebook for Essence Selection

A good place to start your search for an essence is the Index of feelings, patterns, behaviors, concerns and statements (page 57 of the printed ). Beside each word or phrase in the index is the name of one or more essence. After you have identified possible essences in the Index, go to the Individual Essence Descriptions to make your final choice(s).
