Getting Unstuck

For months after returning from Arizona and our tonic making class I repeated the same pattern over and over. I'd made tonic and take it for two to three weeks, run out and not get it made for several weeks, if not six; make another batch, take it until it ran out....you get the idea. After awhile I began to feel resistance, guilt and shame around the whole process. It was anything but healing! 

One morning I woke up with a simple idea that would change all of that for me. I began to make up the blend of roots, herbs, vibrational remedies and essential oil, grinding it up in my Vita Mix and storing it in a mason jar. I simmer two tablespoons to one quart of water for 10 - 15 minutes, add a little Stevia and use that for my daily dosage for the next several weeks. I started with 2 tablespoons of tonic daily,  and am now up to 1/3 cup. I've managed to do this consistently for 9 weeks and feel so much better both emotionally and physically. 

I've been off coffee and sugar for about the same length of time; it was one more thing I was beating myself up about. I just couldn't seem to get unstuck! Getting the vibrational remedies consistently every day has made a huge difference in my willingness to get conscious about other areas of my life too.  

It was a very long, emotionally difficult, grief-filled winter for me and these last couple of months I've felt a renewed sense of commitment to myself and healing old wounds and feelings of unforgiveness that must be cleared before further regeneration can happen for me. I am so grateful for my 'tonic family', for the teachings that have been so graciously and generously given over the years, and for the enormous opportunities being given to All Life at this time. May you walk in beauty & ease.

Concentrated Tonic

Hello all tonic lovers!

Lately I was guided to drink 3/4 cup of tonic 2 times per day. One & 1/2 cups per day became frequent time consuming tonic making.  I dowsed if I could make a concentrated tonic and dilute it with the same results and got a positive.  I dowsed out the quantities.  Now I use more of many of the ingredients. I redowse it each time.  I am adding a bruised leaf of local herbs Angelica and Comfrey.  I start the distilling process with 3 quarts of water in the distiller receiver and I end up with about this quantity of concentrated tonic: 2 wine bottles, 2 quarts and one 16 oz bottle.  I store it in the refrigerator the same way that we learned at White Sage Landing.  I dilute it (1 part tonic to 2 parts high vibration water) when I add it to the handy 16oz bottle I use when I pour out my dose into a glass. At that time I add stevia drops which is the sweetener that has been dowsing for me since I have been on (and off!) the Body Ecology diet (no sugars, not even fruit or most grains).

My guidance tells me this concentrated tonic is as effective as before when I was making a regular blend. If others have other or contrary feedback on this, I would appreciate it.

With gratitude and love for the plant kingdom and each of you,
Liz
