Your 'Bliss-Giving' Body System

The most sophisticated 'technology' available to you is, in fact, your own body. It consistently responds to both internal and external influences. Your bodily systems are perpetually engaged in the vital process of adaptation, sustaining a balanced state of coherence and harmony that guides you toward health and away from disease. This regulation primarily occurs through electrical impulses in the autonomic nervous system. An astonishing 95% of external input is processed by the subconscious mind and through the subtle bodies. This illustrates that we are, in fact, more than just our physical form, and these less tangible, less conscious aspects of ourselves have the most profound impact on our lives.  The Truth Is, We Are Vibration In the realm of physics, it has been substantiated that everything in existence, including the material world, is essentially comprised of diverse levels of vibrating energy. This revelation underscores the perpetual state of change, entropy, and dynamic flux that defines the universe, all of which find expression through the medium of energy. This energy is quantified through the measurement of electromagnetic frequencies, akin to notes in a musical scale, ranging from low to high. Notably, a substantial portion of this spectrum lies beyond the range of human visual perception. In our bodies, energy plays a crucial role as the driving force, providing motivation and sustaining our life force. Though our gross body itself does not derive its own energy. Associated with the electromagnetic spectrum, this energy spans a wide range from very short wavelengths, such as gamma radiation, to extremely long wavelengths like radio waves. Importantly, all forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light. It's crucial to note that the source of electromagnetic radiation is invariably matter. All matter is in a perpetual cycle of absorbing and emitting electromagnetic frequencies. As we delve deeper into the essence of matter, examining molecules, atoms, atomic particles, and even subatomic particles, we encounter energy. This energy, rather than expanding outward in linear waveforms, is intricately bound in orbital relationships that continually shift, contingent on the amount of energy absorbed or emitted. Is Energy Medicine Psuedo-Science? ‘Whilst orthodox physics accepts that electromagnetic frequencies constitute all levels of existence, orthodox medical philosophy prefers to stick to a more mechanistic ‘things that are real and solid’. They understandably, feel more comfortable with terminology of cause and effect, measurability and repeatability.” - The Essence Practitioner The concept of energetic and vibrational medicine can be misleading, confusing, and is often qualified as pseudoscience. In this concept it is difficult to define what energy is because there is nothing that is not energy. Despite this challenge, as electric beings composed of matter and energy our greatest opportunity for healing may lie in supporting subtle bodies. {FLOW}ER Essences {FLOW}ER essences are with imprints of vibrational energy carefully translated from fresh or live plants to structured water. These essences act as an electrical impulse for your entire being and can affect the physical, and subtle bodies. Essences do ‘fix things’ but they can also do much more than that by helping the body to eliminate underlying energy imbalances.   At Fe, our process of working with flower and environmental essences is very unique. We let nature take the lead with a meaningful and organic unfoldment journey. This process is akin to creating poetry for your soul and subtle body, just as a flower is poetic for your sight, fresh water speaks to your skin, food dances on your tongue, and the scent of morning dew rises uplifts your being- flower essences communicate to your subtle bodies. “I cannot keep up with the subtle changes…I am moving into another stage of consciousness and everything is realigning.” - Flower Essence Customer THE QUIZ →

The Endocannabinoid system serves as the "master conductor" and regulator, impacting various crucial functions such as pain responses, memory, appetite, stress responses, metabolism, immunity, and hormonal activities. Present in the body systems of all creatures, from earthworms to whales, and owls to humans, this system comprises neurochemicals, receptors, and enzymes. Functioning as the orchestrator, the Endocannabinoid system plays a pivotal role in restoring balance, also known as "homeostasis," and guiding our bodies back to health in the presence of injury or disease. Every being possesses an endocannabinoid "tone," reflecting the overall health of this system. This tone can be assessed by neurotransmitter levels, synthesis, catabolism, and the number of receptors. A deficient endocannabinoid system correlates with a decreased pain threshold and disruptions in digestion, mood, sleep, and metabolism. Furthermore, a malfunctioning endocannabinoid system is associated with inflammation, heightened toxicity, nutrient deficiencies, and a weakened immune system. Overall, the harmony and homeostatic potential of the organism is dramatically reduced.   Simply put, significant imbalances in the body, such as chronic stress, trauma, and exposure to toxins, can hinder our endocannabinoid system's ability to restore itself to "homeostasis." This disruption creates a negative feedback loop, leading to an overproduction of FAAH, an enzyme responsible for breaking down our naturally occurring endocannabinoids 2AG and Anandamide. Consequently, the body moves further away from balance, escalating oxidative stress. Oxidative stress, resulting from this imbalance, triggers an overproduction of free radicals. These free radicals accumulate and wreak havoc on cells, DNA, essential fats, and proteins in the body. The cumulative effect contributes to processes of aging and disease. Oxidative stress can lead to inflammation, weakened immune function, and an increased risk of various health issues. These imbalances can result in the under or overstimulation of your endocannabinoid receptors, causing a dysfunctioning endocannabinoid system. The effects of this dysfunction are noticeable through various symptoms in the body.   Prolonged oxidative stress can lead the damage of cellular components such as DNA, proteins, and lipids. This damage, if not adequately repaired, may contribute to mutations that can ultimately lead to the uncontrolled growth of cells characteristic of cancer. Moreover, a dysfunctional endocannabinoid system, as mentioned earlier, can be associated with oxidative stress inducing imbalances in the body. Some research suggests that the endocannabinoid system plays a role in regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis (programmed cell death), and its dysregulation may contribute to the development of cancer. Support Your Endocannabinoid System EHere's an interesting tidbit--singing and dancing ssapass all others in activities that most effectively balance and bolster your endocannabinoid system. Here's the list: 1. Incorporate Full-Spectrum, Life-Force Filled (Fresh) Hemp Oil (CBD):By integrating fresh hemp oil (CBD) into your routine, you introduce phytocannabinoids that protect your naturally occurring endocannabinoids, 2AG and anandamide, from breakdown. These phytocannabinoids also bond to receptors, mitigating the effects of oxidative stress (cell damage) on the body. Phytocannabinoid supplementation has proven to be a catalyst, allowing your body to engage in its ancient processes of healing, restoration, and regeneration. 2. Spend Time Outdoors, Move Your Body, and Connect with Loved Ones:Embrace the outdoors, engage in physical activity, and surround yourself with loved ones. These activities contribute to overall well-being and support the health of your endocannabinoid system. 3. Reduce Toxin Consumption:Cut back on the intake of toxins, such as processed foods, alcohol, sugar and the effects of overeating. Minimizing toxin exposure to these substances aids in maintaining a healthier balance within your body. Discover a life where supporting your endocannabinoid system shifts you from 'survival' mode to embracing 'thrive' mode consistently. Experiencing homeostasis feels like harmony in the mind and body—a deepened access to stress resilience and the creation of a positive feedback loop of health cycles, as opposed to negative.

Did you know?  1. To live a healthy life, stress is absolutely essential. 2. The way you perceive and handle stress can lead to either a beneficial or toxic effect. 3. Self support can help to create a more resilient stress response.  The narrative around stress is starting to improve. Knowledgeable professionals are beginning to redefine the old notion that stress is solely harmful and recognize its importance for an organism's health. In a recent study, individuals who claimed to have "no stress" actually experienced faster aging compared to those who reported "moderate stress" and "high stress."(Dr. Elissa Epel).  The positive impact of stress can be exemplified through the analogy of exercise. When we engage in physical activity, our body undergoes a temporary stress response, triggering the release of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA in the brain. Consequently, adrenaline levels rise, and both heart rate and respiration increase. Although this represents short-term stress on the body, in the majority of cases, this sequence of internal reactions actually enhances an individual's overall health in both the immediate and long run.   The Stress Response   It's not the stress. It's our perception.  “Mental health is the ability to navigate and recover from emotional, social, and psychological stress. It is the resilience to cope with life events and maintain a general sense of happiness, contentment, and well-being. It is a journey, not a destination.” John Brick Foundation  Resilience in the face of stress is the key to creating significant change, individually and collectively, as humanity.  Offering solutions to transition out of a chronic sympathetic nervous system response will allow humankind to see into the future with optimism instead of a constant state of threat, which creates a negative feedback loop based upon immediate gratification.  “For heart disease patients, depression increases the risk for slower recovery and early mortality. High optimism, the most studied positive asset, is linked to fewer cardiac events and lower mortality across studies of heart disease patients, even after controlling for depression. (Epel, 2020) The Breakdown The Bridge To Stress Resilience Stress resilience bridges are biological, our ability to regulate is natural and held in many of our innate human responses.   NATURE + SOOTHING ENVIRONMENT- pass time outside or create a comfortable safe space to calm.  PLANT REMEDIES- nourish your body and nervous system with age old traditional plant medicine directly from nature. SUPPORT + CO-REGULATION- invite your natural ability to connect and soothe the nervous system with a trusted friend, support group or pets. Or work with a trusted nervous system professional.  CONNECT WITH YOUR BODY- get present with the moment by tuning into the sensations in your body with movement. SPACE TO REFLECT- set aside time to reflect- journal, meditation, and other mindfulness practices.  The Fe Offering: Plant Remedies To Support Nervous System Health “There is a need for a more effective and safe pharmacological treatment that can dampen maladaptive stress responses. The endocannabinoid system is one of the main regulators of the stress response…resilience to stress-related disease and dysfunction may depend upon the satisfactory functioning of the endocannabinoid system.A healthy endocannabinoid system modulates a chronic deficiency n the endocannabinoid tone is associated with the pathological complications of chronic stress. Because CBD acts on several synergistic targets, it may be more effective (as well as safer) for constraining the stress response than molecules designed to target specific endocannabinoid receptors or degradative enzymes. ” (Poeppl, 2021)  “Between 35% and 65% of people using CBD for medicinal purposes in the UK, USA, Denmark, and New Zealand were found to be administering it for stress, and over 90% reported feeling less stressed with CBD, with no respondents reporting feeling more stressed. For stress and its manifestations of mild anxiety and insomnia, CBD is usually administered at low doses and mostly from online suppliers, with less than 1% being prescribed by a doctor and less than 5% being purchased from a pharmacy.” ( (Poeppl, 2021)  In 2018, hemp became a highly profitable industry, but unfortunately, most of the products lacked purpose, were ineffective, and even harmful. As a result, many CBD consumers were left disappointed and skeptical about its benefits. As hemp farmers, we personally witnessed the negative aspects of this industry. This experience motivated us to develop Fe-- a natural plant medicine carefully crafted from potent hemp flowers. We cultivate these flowers with love and extract them using CO2, ensuring a full-spectrum product. Our process involves handcrafting and bottling in biophotonic glass, prioritizing quality and purity you can feel immediately.
