The Arctic Essence Journey by Ian White

Early this year I received guidance to make an Arctic Essence, which would work hand in hand with the Antarctic Essence made last year, in 2006. I had the choice of preparing the Arctic Essence in Greenland, Scandinavia or Alaska. Our distributors in Norway did not feel that Scandinavia was a good choice because of the German bombing of this region during the Second World War. Greenland always felt the right choice intuitively, and it held more appeal and fascination for me than Alaska.

Travelling to Greenland called for a five-hour flight from Denmark, which has sovereignty over this Arctic country. I can still remember the feeling of wonder when the icebergs started becoming more frequent as we edged over the ocean towards Greenland’s coast. Fingers of ice and land touched the ocean below as the land mass took shape. Soon everything below was white. The intensity and energy of the land was overpowering. Occasional small circles of blue appeared, indicating where the ice was melting and the water was being freed and flowing. We landed in the town of Kangerlussuaq, set 25 km inland from the ocean at the base of a long fjord. Being inland, this town has a very different climate to the other towns in Greenland, which are right on the coast.

I had felt sure and trusted that I would not need to travel away from Kangerlussuaq and could use this as a base. And this is exactly how it turned out. I felt a tremendous sense of gratitude for how everything was coming into place for this Essence to be made – and gratitude also for how I am always looked after when travelling to make remedies. I arrived not knowing a great deal about the country or how I would be able to find and reach a suitable location to prepare the Essence. I wasn’t even sure whether I was likely to come into the vicinity of polar bears and what precautions one needs to take. I very was aware of how often I am travelling on a wing and a prayer especially when making the White Light Essences and these Light Frequency Essences. In comparison I am far more familiar and comfortable in dealing with the heat, flies, crocodiles and snakes of Australia when making the Bush Flower Essences. The possibility of running into a polar bear or dealing with the extreme weather of the Arctic and Antarctic regions is out of my comfort zone.

There were a couple of small, organized trips available from Kangerlussuaq to either the Ice Cap or Russell Glacier. These enabled me to gain a feel for the region and to choose the best location to prepare the Essence. I arranged to be dropped off from one of these trips; they do not run every day and only at most, once a day. So for a princely sum I was to be collected at midnight, when darkness was beginning to fall, giving me plenty of time to prepare the Essence.

As soon as I left the 4WD, I had a tremendous feeling of excitement and adventure as I made my way to the distant waterfall where I was going to make the Essence. Within a few minutes the dirt road was totally out of sight and I had the whole landscape to myself. I felt fully joyous, happy and totally free. This area, and Greenland generally, was very pure energetically and abounding in Nature spirits. My mood became incredibly light-hearted and playful as I frolicked in their presence, while all the time marvelling at the stunning beauty of the area – the river cutting through the steep hills and passing in front of the glacier, all under a beautiful, deep, blue sky.

For a country commonly dismissed as consisting of only barren land and ice I was surrounded by a vast variety of many colourful flower species in bloom. All the time I kept hearing the phrase ‘the spirit of freedom’ being repeated over and over in my head, and I was feeling tremendous bliss.

This special Essence was made at the base of a waterfall in view of the Russell Glacier with all the elements present:

Air – A peregrine falcon swooped over me as I made my way to prepare the Essence. The Sylphs, air nature spirits, were evident by ripples on the water created by the cold wind that was blowing.

Water – All around was ice and the flowing waterfall from the melting ice.

Fire – The sun shone brightly on this summer’s day in Greenland.

Earth – Granite rocks were scattered everywhere, and nearby was the silty moraine of the glacier.

After a very lengthy and deep meditation, the Essence was commenced at 5. 58pm on Friday 20 July and completed at 8. 08pm.

Currently the Arctic is in a state of flux. There is tremendous change underway and the releasing of powerful energy that has been held in suspension for a very long time.

However, the melting ice is being released too quickly for planetary harmony. Both the Poles are changing and this is one of the aspects that will complete the change of the Earth’s electro-magnetic energy field that is now also shifting. My understanding is that the planet is going to shift a little, without cataclysmic changes. The Poles are likely to tilt a little more on their axis and the polarity will shift to a new frequency by 2012.
The stability of the Poles in the past and their opposite polarities has created a balance of suspension in the Earth’s electro-magnetic energy fields.

The Arctic Essence primarily frees the pure undiluted light potential of the individual. It both brings in and releases pure light energy within the individual, energy which has been held in suspension, waiting to be activated.

What is suspended is not of the physical or Earth, it is of Light. The Arctic Essence allows the thawing and releasing of our suspended Light. This increases our spiritual awareness, which in turn will raise the Light of the planet.

By releasing this Light the individual is also changing and bringing into balance their own electro-magnetic frequency, allowing them to stay in resonance and harmony with all the Earth’s changes. Especially as we move closer to 2012 and the shift in the Earths own electro-magnetic energy field.

The Antarctic Essence is for letting go of things that stop you finding and following your path. It allows you to discover what is essential and necessary in your life. In other words, letting go of what doesn’t matter – suspension in matter. It is connected to both the Earth and the Light. The Arctic Essence holds suspension in Light alone. That is the difference.

The Arctic Essence is releasing the Light potential within, which does matter, and is of supreme significance as part of the soul’s evolution and as part of the planetary being’s evolution.

This Essence is also specific in addressing separation, whether that is separation from self, someone or something. It takes you to the depth and purity of your soul, to feel the purity of the Earth and yourself.

It can repair and return the soul to a state of innocence, helping you to hear the voice of reason and purity and assisting you to see your negative aspects. It is then easy to see what needs to be done to rectify it. It is similar to how glaciers grind obstacles in their way, pulverising the impurities and bringing the debris to the surface as very fine particles.

This Essence shows you what you need to come alive, to flow, and to be joyous and light.
