September 2007
Dear
Friends,
In this last quarter (June through August 2007),
Lotus Essences has continued to knock on new doors
to make Yogananda’s Spirit-in-Nature essences known
to people across India. In our list of distributors
we now have added friends in Bangalore. In the
pipeline are Jaipur, Pondicherry & Goa. Our flower
essences bookmarks have been placed in holistic
shops and bookshops across India. We still have
many; if you would like us to send some to you,
please contact us.
We are very fortunate to share the experiences of
our practitioners in this newsletter. These
practitioners, who are already well versed in using
the Bach flower remedies, have provided extremely
useful practical insight for our line of essences.
Sharing is a joy and we hope you will feel inspired
to share with us your own experiences in working
with the essences.
We would also like to express our gratitude and
welcome 2 new team members. Krishna Deep is from
Andhra Pradesh and got in touch with us through the
Ananda Sangha website. He is now helping with the
lotus essences website. Uday is part of the
advertising world. He is helping us on our website
with some innovative & creative ideas as well as
designing bookmarks for each of our 20 essences.
Both are wonderful souls who have infused positive
and vibrant energy to our work.
Very soon we will be having a new section on our
website for innovative gift ideas for Dussehra and
Diwali including a bouquet of flowers combined with
essences. As a corporate gift idea, we will offer
promotions for Spinach Essence as a way to combat
office stress etc. See the next two pages for
personal experiences of how our essences stimulate
positive qualities and enhance well being. We invite
you to try Pear essence (our starter essence) which
is on promotion this month.
Blessings, Deborah and Claudio (+91 98731 83706) and
Surekha (+91 9811330098)
Tips by Liladevi on Office Stress: Spinach
Essence.
As Swamiji worded it, this essence is perfect
for dealing with “worldly wisdom.” Other
essences can come into play as well, depending
on the individual and the situation. Is someone
asking for a raise? Pineapple Essence. Is
someone belittled by co-workers or an employer ?
Strawberry Essence. Is an employee stuck
in a rut and needing to make changes? Coconut
Essence.
The reason Spinach Essence is so perfect for
office stress is because it embodies qualities
of simplicity. It helps people to find their own
inner rhythm and pace, no matter how demanding
or high-pressure the work or the workplace is.
It makes multi-tasking possible. One of
Swamiji's children's songs embodies Spinach
Essence's divine message:
Life is beautiful, life is gay, When I
give myself away. When I live to please Thee,
Lord, Dancing in Thy ray!
Friends Share Their Experience of
Yogananda’s Spirit-in-Nature Essences
From Seema, a holistic practitioner &
aromatherapist in Mumbai:
Tomato for Mental Strength :
”I took Tomato Essence. I felt I became stronger as I
could stand up for myself and my beliefs which I had
wanted to do for a couple of years. Now I am strong
enough to say and face challenges.
“A mother of a young son working in the U.S. asked me to
recommend something for general depression and stress
due to a change of surroundings—country, family, food,
college—and unable to cope with the challenges, etc. I
said, let’s work on making him stronger with Tomato
Essence and later, Orange for enthusiasm and hope. It
worked miraculously.”
Fig for Flexibility and Self-acceptance.
”I had a backache. I took Fig Essence, and I felt my
back became better and more flexible.”
Orange for Joy and Enthusiasm
“Feeling low for no reason? Take Orange Essence. I even
blend them in the aromatherapy facial packs I give my
clients and have found wonderful results.”
From Manisha, a Healer in Mumbai:
Pear for breathing problems
“A friend walked into my house, which is under repairs.
Dust and cement were in the air. She suffers from asthma
and immediately started getting breathless. One dose of
Pear and one minute later the breathing became normal
and she was in my house for almost 2 hours and was
absolutely comfortable. As I am also prone to cement and
paint allergy I have started taking Pear. People are
amazed that I am so peaceful in the midst of all this
chaos. This is all thanks to Yogananda’s Essences.”
Grape—An Interesting Sharing
“I started taking Grape for love and devotion. Two days
later, I realized that the child in me had missed out on
love. My parents never had the time to cuddle or hug us.
It was a joint family and Mom had to do a lot of work.
She had no time for the children. Father was busy with
business. Grape helped to heal the inner child in me.
Once the healing was complete (I hope it is) I found
myself loving my family and everyone selflessly. There
was no discrimination, no expectations! I took Grape
Essence for 15 days. Now when I see myself expecting the
near and dear ones to understand, I know I need Grape
essence and I take a couple of doses. I shared this with
my sisters and we realized that our parents too needed
Grape. "
“Grape was given to my mother, and all negativity and
grumbling disappeared. It reminds us that the love we
seek is never lacking but resides within us. Grape
connects us to the source of love within our soul so we
are never lacking in love and we stop seeking it outside
from others. Instead we just love, love love everyone
and everything. What a great way to live, thanks to
Yogananda’s Essences! "
“I feel that if Grape Essence is given to pregnant
mothers, the babies would be so much happier. An
8-year-old child was very quiet and reserved. When given
Grape Essence, she started opening up and bubbling with
joy, and her natural childlike state came back. "
“Grape Essence is my second choice after Pear. I feel
that negativity stems from lack of love.”
Pear & Lettuce
“A person was suffering from fever. In the room I left 2
drops of Pear essence in water in a bowl. This person
was given Pear and then Lettuce. His fever disappeared
by the night and his abscess cleared in 3 days.”
Pear & Spinach for a cancer patient
“This person was in his fourth stage of cancer. Pear
helped him to become calm and peaceful. Then Spinach
helped him to accept death. It helped him in dying. He
was calm and peaceful till the end. He died a peaceful
death.”
Lettuce
“This is a most beautiful remedy. Two drops in a bowl of
water in the room calms the mind; a restless sleeper can
sleep peacefully.”
Corn
“For abundant and vital energy—after having completed
all the tasks for the day you still have more energy
left to accomplish more.”
Cherry & Orange
“This combination is truly wonderful—it makes a person
laugh and conversations become joyful. My father who is
92 years old is constantly demanding attention. I gave
him and myself this combination—we had a hearty laugh
and a fulfilling conversation.”
Apple for peaceful clarity
“I had a complex problem on my mind and did not know how
to solve it. I took 3 doses of Apple essence during the
day. By night I was able to solve the problem thanks to
Apple.”
Fig & Pear for diabetes
“I have observed Fig Essence lower the blood sugar
levels very fast-—from 184 pp to 114 pp in just 2 days.
But a word of caution here if the patient goes overboard
eating sweets, the sugar levels are bound to rise.
Discipline is a must for diabetes patients.”
Date for Sweetness
“I noticed that I was eating a lot of dried dates. For a
fortnight dates were an addiction. So I decided to try
Date Essence. After taking the essence for 3 days, I
noticed that I was more calm and sweet in situations
where I would have been curt and outspoken.”

Although people do combine
essences, we recommend, based on our research,
that single essence formulas work quicker and
more effectively.
