Leatherwood ( Eucryphia lucida )
Leatherwood tree flowers early spring and can be found in the Tasmanian rain forests. Large flowers in leaf axils near the end of the branches are so numerous that the whole tree appears white from the distance. Young buds of the flowers are covered with a yellow gummy substance.
This tree is the source of nectar for Tasmanian Leatherwood honey.
Leatherwood flower essence energises the Heart chakra by moving energy via the Central Meridian to the Atmic level of Subtle anatomy. It engages the Solar Plexus chakra and assists in the circulation and regeneration of all systems in the body.
This essence works by enhancing the ability to cleanse past difficulties by means of Joy. Happiness is the emotion of Personality, and Joy is the byproduct of Soul vibration. This can be difficult for many people to experience, as they move through many levels and observe the past events from the point of struggle or suffering. Yet there are always moments of joy, which are untouched by any circumstance. When leaving behind an old pattern and coming to a new one, there could be sadness associated with experiences.
Leatherwood lower essence is recommended when there is a need to remind about joy after striving, the joy of being given opportunity to know the contrast so as to experience polarity, the joy of friendships and relationships, the joy of privilege of helping, the joy of accepting many gifts and talents, the joy of learning from experience and the joy of not being perfect, for perfection is finite.

Myrtle Beech trees grow in moist, sheltered conditions. Reaching up to 50m in height its canopy shades out most plants. It has small flat leathery leaves and in spring they are bronze in colour.

Myrtle Beech essence energises the Head and Base chakra simultaneously while reaching Atmic Level via Sacrifice area of the Soul Body. It helps with injection of energy and regeneration of all physical systems.
Sacrifice area of the Soul Body is in direct opposite to Sacrifice of the physical understanding. It is a path chosen at the higher level for the purpose of protection, helping, nuturing, teaching, sharing, directing and attuning. This merging of energies can be disturbing for some people, because of the fear of loosing their own identiy (Base).
Myrtle Beech essence is recommended when the pattern of helping other people on many levels becomes a way of life and especially when "what about me" questions start to dominate physical reality. By moving energy via the Head and Base centres, it helps with a detached attitude, and from that position calmly and powerfully carry out the work set out by the Soul vibration, thus being free from the inner emotional storm.
