pioneering our own path can be a long and crooked journey, and i think it helps to pull out all of our tools in the toolbox to get us where we need to go. sometimes, like right now for me, we have the vision but not the energetic means to get us there.
when i discovered flower essences, herbal infusions of the energetic qualities of plants, i realized that this could be another tool to support my growth, and as such i think they can play a supportive role in Mandala MappingTM. here are some of my favorites:
walnut: supports freedom from influences of the past and other's ideas; supports setting out on one's own path. [supports the clearing stage of the map]
sagebrush: helps is let go of the old "baggage", release identifications and attachments which no longer serve us, supports our ability to take the next step. [supports the clearing stage of the map]
blackberry: supports the manifesting process, and our ability to put thoughts into action. [supports the manifesting stage of the map]

essences are easy to use. put a few drops in your water (make sure it is good and fresh); add some to your lotion. carry the bottle with you, and just bring it's energy along. use your intuition, and see where it takes you...
