This Essence is for people who are 'green' and socially inept. They do not know how to properly interact with other people. They can be very insensitive because they are so focused on themselves that they miss the cues and needs of other people around them. They can be very self centred.
Brazilian quartz
Tiredness, fatigue, low energy; weak energetic connection to the Earth; toxic or inharmonious energies in the aura; feeling out of touch with one or more aspects of self (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual), as though they were operating in different time zones; chakra out of alignment with each other. Healing Qualities - the essence of cleansing white light; energizes and synchronizes the subtle bodies, the chakras, and the physical body with the Earth's natural vibration.
Diamond
Life experience characterized by struggle; lack of clarity about the future; acting from a confused sense of what one is supposed to do; inability to make commitments; attached to personal will, to how "I" want it to be. Healing Qualities - brings clarity to the 6th chakra; harmonizes Divine and personal will; helps us activate personal will in its highest form; strengthens our ability to act in alignment with our Divine purpose.
Sapphire
Feeling unsupported for being on the Earth; unaware of life purpose; lack of inspiration and commitment; feeling out of touch and out of place; unwilling or unable to take responsibility for why one has incarnated. Healing Qualities - strengthens devotion and commitment to Divine purpose; promotes loyalty and responsibility to one's true work on the planet; helps us connect to the energetic support we need to do what we came here to do.
Fringed violet
For treating damage to the aura where there has been shock, grief or distress e.g. from abuse or assault. This remedy maintains psychic protection and is excellent for people who are drained by others or those who unconsciously absorb the physical and emotional imbalances of others. It releases shock from the body. When used in combination with Flannel Flower or Wisteria it is beneficial for those who have suffered abuse.
Boronia
This is the Essence for resolving obsessions - thoughts, events, things or ideas which are stuck. It leads to clarity and focus. It combines wonderfully with Bottlebrush for breaking habits and addictions and for dealing with an ended relationship when there is pining for the other person. It also enhances focus for creative visualisation.
Citrine
Mental confusion and distortion; lack of mental clarity and concentration; mental forces dominating the physical and emotional aspects of life; difficulty determining what is in one's highest good; closed to higher sources of wisdom and inner knowing. Healing Qualities - harmonizes the mental body with higher spiritual laws; increases access to Divine intelligence; amplifies qualities of concentration, centering and rational mind.
Gold
Low self-esteem; weak sense of personal identity; little or no confidence in one's ability to create; weak or uninspired masculine energies; difficulty manifesting wants and needs into physical reality; comparing one's accomplishments to others. Healing Qualities - helps us access and express the highest aspects of our personal identity; brings strength and balance to the 3rd chakra; helps us tap into our inner truth, joy and wisdom as sources for our creative power.
Lapis lazuli
Unable to hear or understand guidance and information from higher sources; difficulty communicating clearly with others, especially about information that one has received from these sources; overwhelmed by the amount of information coming in. Healing Qualities - opens and clears channels of communication in the 5th chakra; amplifies the ability to hear and understand information from physical and nonphysical sources at the same time; clears confusion between hearing and knowing.
Fluorite
Congestion, constriction, or stagnation of energy on any or all levels; rigidity, inflexibility; difficulty manifesting thoughts into action; hard to move one's focus from one area to another.

Kunzite
Feelings of guilt and embarrassment concerning one's past actions; out of touch with one's angelic presence; lack of awareness of the angelic love, guidance, and support that is available; heart closed to the flow of spiritual love coming into the body. Healing Qualities - opens the heart to an awareness of one's angelic presence; helps one experience the spiritual love of the angelic kingdom and integrate it into the physical body.

Heightened psychic sensitivity during menstruation; touchy, edgy, over reactive; emotional energy blocked and difficult to express in a clear way; lack of sensitivity and intuitive awareness in men and women; hard edged persona. Healing Qualities - cleanses and circulates energy in the emotional body; increases feminine energy aspects of receptivity and intuition in women and men; balances and focuses the psychic forces during menses.
Five corners
Resolves low self-esteem, lack of confidence and diminished self-love. This tall, proud shrub gets its name from its fruit which has five corners – and this corresponds with the anatomical position of a body with arms and legs spread, and the fifth point being the head. This Essence allows the life force to flow through to these five centres. When this happens a person feels good and strong in themselves, and they feel their own love and beauty. In the negative mode, the person will appear crushed and 'held in'.
Bloodstone
Energetic stagnation and constipation; weak circulation of physical and emotional energy in the lower chakras and organs of the body; tendency to express emotional negativity; lacking emotional sensitivity and sympathy towards others.

Healing Qualities - the primary grounding essence in our system; helps align the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels of our being in a grounded and cohesive way; supports the unity of one's being in all circumstances.
Paw paw
For the assimilation and integration of new ideas and information, especially where there is a tendency to feel overwhelmed by the quality and quantity of that information. A feature of this plant is its very narrow stem which, at the top, branches into a mass of foliage to bear large and ponderous fruits. This Essence should be used when one is unable to solve a problem. It will activate the Higher Self, where we have the answer to all our problems. It will ease the burden of problems as it activates the intuitive processes to provide solutions.
Silver princess
This Essence brings about an awareness of one's life direction. Though it may not always reveal to a person their full life plan, it will aid people who are at crossroads, helping to show them what their next step is. It helps give them an understanding of that direction. This Essence is also excellent when one has reached an important goal and yet one is left feeling very flat, thinking 'is this all there is'. In this case, it gives one a glimpse or a sense of what is next and allows one to enjoy the journey whilst striving for the goal.

Sundew
This Essence is for people who are vague and indecisive and do not pay attention to detail. For those who tend to 'split off' easily, especially when there is work to be done. This Essence will keep them focused in the present and reduces procrastination. It is for those who tend to be vague, dreamy or drawn to drugs. This carnivorous plant is found in damp, boggy areas and has a crimson, 'earth-hugging' base. It sends up a tall stem to which delicate little flowers are attached.
Red lily
Red Lily is the same flower as the Sacred Lotus in the Buddhist tradition. It is for spirituality and connection to God in a grounded and centred way, allowing a person to have a wholeness to their spirituality by also realising the need to develop and maintain a balanced physical and emotional life. It has similar properties to that of Sundew for feeling scattered, not whole, vague and split, though Sundew applies to daily life whereas Red Lily is in relation to one's spirituality. I waded thigh deep in mud through a billabong teeming with leeches, turtles and snakes to pick this flower. Such is the joy of discovery.
Jadeite jade
Agitated, upset; easily pulled out of center by intense experiences; attached to drama; makes things harder or more involved than they need to be; unable to accept the way things are in the moment. Healing Qualities - a vibration of peace, balance and timeless simplicity; helps us stay centered in the moment with an awareness and acceptance of our true essence.

11. How do we protect your personal information?
We do several things designed to keep our data secure, including administrative, technical and physical safeguards such as firewalls and encryption measures.
While we endeavour to protect our systems, website, operations and information against unauthorised access, use, modification and disclosure, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle and other risk factors, we cannot guarantee that any information, during transmission or while stored on our systems, will be safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers.
Orchard St. takes reasonable steps to:
a) make sure that the personal information we collect, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date;
b) protect the personal information that we hold from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure; and
c) where permitted by law, destroy or permanently anonymise personal information that is no longer needed by Orchard St. .
Orchard St. 's credit card transactions are fulfilled by an authorised banking institution. When collecting credit card information for online purchases, Orchard St. offers secured server transactions that encrypt your information in transit to help prevent others from accessing it. Personal information is stored on servers that are protected by appropriate safeguards and will be accessible by authorised employees and agents who require access relating to their responsibilities. Your credit card details are encrypted and then removed from our system once your order has been dispatched.
We don't usually collect unsolicited personal information. In the event we receive unsolicited personal information, we will determine if it would have been permissible to collect that personal information if it had been solicited. If we determine that collection would not have been permissible, to the extent permitted by law, we will destroy or anonymise that personal information as soon as practicable.
Orchard St. will generally provide individuals with the option of not identifying themselves when entering into transactions when it is lawful and practicable to do so.
