"Gentle Remedies for Support and Transformation"

Here's something special for YOU! I am very pleased, excited and honored to offer the Wild Earth Animal Essences line! These essences were lovingly created to assist you in fully realizing and embodying your sacred, joyful, spirit-filled self. In the tradition of flower essences, Wild Earth Animal Essences nurture you with the wisdom and power of wild animals. Animal essences, like flower essences and gem elixirs, are "vibrational remedies".  Each of the animal essences contains the vibrational imprint and energy of the animal but does not contain any animal parts, and no animals are captured or harmed in this creation process.  The remedies are made during a ceremonial process of attunement in the wild by their creator, Daniel Mapel, M.A..  This ceremonial process takes place in the wilderness of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and includes the invocation of the spirit of the animal, along with meditation and prayerful attunement with the animal involved. From Mr. Mapel's book, Into the Heart of the Wild:

"In 1995 I was guided to begin developing a line of vibrational remedies that would help us connect with wild animals and touch the wild depths within ourselves.  As I began this work, it became clear that at this time, the animals wished to share their gifts with humanity to help us recover our lost connection with the Earth and with our deepest selves. 

The animal essences are healing tools that can help us to touch deep, wild, wondrous places within ourselves and to mend emotional wounds that have gone untended.  The essences can also profoundly assist us in our spiritual growth and development.  The animals offer themselves with love and wisdom that is boundless and wild and free; all they ask is that we open our hearts to receive what they are willing to give us so generously: the joy that comes with knowing oneself as part of the indivisible whole of all of Creation."  [Into the Heart of the Wild, pp. 9-10]

In addition to the descriptions of each essence's purpose included here and on the next page, Into the Heart of the Wild includes what each essence is recommended for, with corresponding case studies; and a reverse list of issues/qualities and their recommended essences.

Testimonials Here is one of the most eloquent testimonials I’ve received regarding the power of these essences:

“Hello, Kat. I received my bottle of WEAE on Friday and started using it right away. Thank you! I apologize for taking so long in letting you know it arrived safely and has already impacted my life greatly.

The first few times I used them I had the most powerful experiences of being "in another place". When thinking about the buffalo, it was as if I got to be with a tribe of American Indians as I heard the drumming and saw the dancing. I had a real feel for being with them around the fire. I felt very earthy and grounded. Then when I thought of the dolphin, instead of hearing drums, I could hear the dolphins making their clicking/chattering sound and I felt so free and graceful. I heard and felt the waves. I really had a sense of playing among them in the ocean or on the shore with the water massaging me as I lay on the sand. Then when I thought of the eagle I was treated to the experience of soaring somewhere in the southwest with that beautiful landscape beneath me. (And I'm not typically a fan of desert landscapes.)

There were also sensations of being "in the arms of" all of the animals one by one or together. Once of hanging out under the water. Once of dancing with the buffalo (like in the animated "Beauty and the Beast"). Several times of all 3 animal families being present at once. Always a sense of understanding them and being understood by them and of such mutual acceptance. WoW! I don't know what I expected to happen, but this was sure much much better :-) I hadn't noticed when I chose my 3 animals that I'd picked one from land, one from water and one from sky. Hmmm....

Gradually, it's changed from such a sense of being the animals or being among them or their habitats, to having a quiet mind. Believe me, for me, quieting my mind has been a big challenge. The quiet mind isn't quite as fun and enthralling as the "being there" times, but I trust that I'm being led to and through the experiences I need at the time I have them. And I trust that the little "trips" are not over yet! Once my mind learns to get really still, I know even more amazing adventures await me :-)

Thanks again for all of your encouragement and guidance. Your gifts are definitely not limited to communication with non-humans :-) Your writing style is a joy to read, and you have so much wisdom to share. I can tell it comes from your heart. No wonder - I wouldn't imagine a heart as big as yours is could be fully contained inside you! Thanks for giving it wings and words. Hugs, Lisa J.”
 

Essences Offered  There are 85 essences, plus three blends of specific essences, created by Mr. Mapel. Currently I carry the essences shown on this page, and the 38 essences listed under "More Essences" on the next page.

Which Essences Are Right For You In contrast to the Bach flower essence consultations I offer, the Wild Earth Animal Essences which are appropriate for you are determined by you, relying on your intuitive response to the descriptions. (Trust yourself!) Please see the List of Issues (below) to help you choose the ones that are most appropriate for you now. Not more than 3 essences should be taken at any given time, except in very rare instances. I am happy to confirm your selections if you like. Or if you need assistance in determining the remedies appropriate to your situation, please let me know and I can help with that. Another option is to choose animals that you don't like or are repulsed by or have no feeling for. They might represent aspects of yourself you may be denying or not allowing yourself to embody.

Which Essences Are Right For Your Animal Friend  If you are interested in assisting your animal with these essences, I am happy to intuitively scan and confirm your selections, or to help you choose the appropriate essences.

List of Issues: a Guide  Please see the Issues page for a list of issues that may help you choose the right remedies for you or your animal friend. Not all issues are listed, so please inquire if you're not sure which essences would be most helpful for you at this time.

Dose and Recommended Use  The recommended dose is 5-7 drops, three to four times daily (do not take with food), placed under the tongue or taken with a small amount of water.  You can also add the drops to a water bottle and sip on it during the course of the day, and apply drops to the palms, soles of feet, and/or temples. A unique feature of these essences is that they can be added to warm bath water with the same effectiveness.  The essences need to be taken consistently for 2-3 weeks so that you can properly evaluate their effectiveness.  To obtain the most benefit from these essences, it is recommended that with each dose you quietly reflect, for a few moments, upon the animal and the qualities it embodies.

The Wild Earth Animal Essences can be taken while also using other essence lines. It is best to wait at least 15 minutes between the different doses.

Price  A 2-ounce bottle mixed especially for you or your animal friend should last 4-6 weeks, depending on how many drops you take per dose. When you near the end of the bottle, please evaluate your or your animal friend's response to the essences. Then determine whether to continue with those specific ones, or utilize other essences to address different issues. Cost for one bottle is $15, a second bottle ordered at the same time is $10 (whether for you or your animal friend), plus $5.00 for priority mail shipping in the US. For foreign shipment, the cost is $15 for one bottle (plus $10 for a second bottle if you like) plus actual cost of shipping.
