Greetings of joy and gratitude on this weekend of great heat in Quebec.
We have reached and surpassed the crowdfunding goals! My heart overflows with gratitude not only for the donations, but also for the testimonials of support and appreciation for our Sacred Essences that we have received. Some preferred to purchase from us rather than donate, which was wonderful — a bonus. A truly heartfelt thank you. I also felt throughout the campaign those who could not give, but who prayed for us. This too truly sustained me, and I hold deep appreciation and gratitude for it.
For us this is a new beginning — restoring order in the house, updating the bookkeeping, the administrative, production and communication structures. I am immersed over my ears in work. Thanks to you, we will be able to refine our offerings of shamanic perfumes with more beauty, clearer communication, internal integrity, administrative ease, and improve our packaging, our production, our profitability — in short, you see the picture, we want to serve you better.
My creations are a grace, for they allow me to make my offerings and purifications four, five and six times a day. As I have an intense and regular spiritual practice and fragile lungs, the purifications with traditional smudge smoke were truly a problem before the creation of the Chiiyaam Liquid Smudge. It is our custom to purify before giving healings, meditating, praying, even going to bed, as there are practices in dreams as well. So now, since the creation of Chiiyaam, I no longer use smoke. The essential oils in our Sacred Essences are beneficial for my lungs and I can use them freely. Thus, in the morning to prepare my practices and as offerings, at work to clarify the space, before my music practices, before my evening meditations, before sleep — Chiiyaam is there to purify, protect, heal and inspire. Along with Yuutin — the Wind — which comes to soothe my lungs every evening. There is Aschiiy the earth which helps me to ground, Patakwin which opens the horizons of space in meditation, Nipiiy — Water to soothe and circulate, and Iskutaau — Fire to activate and transform. When I give a healing, I use them all according to the traditions and advanced training transmitted in our traditions. Truly beautiful perfumes, 100% natural… Truly unique in the world, for they are all blessed by shamanic rituals that encode them by structuring and crystallizing specific intentions into the molecules of the Essences. Nothing can compare to the effectiveness of our products in the energetics of aromatherapy. Moreover, they are crafted on the olfactory level in the manner of fine perfumes, with fragrances of great beauty.
You can imagine with what fervor and joy I work to make these Sacred Essences available to as many people as possible. The greatest moments are during the encoding. This ritual allows me to commune intimately with the substance of the perfumes and to structure them so that they carry the maximum spiritual and energetic effectiveness when you use them. I live through quite intense and beautiful moments there. I feel blessed to be able to do this work.
Many people who came to work at Invocation saw the potential of this company and attempted to take it from me. As I was often on the road and often persecuted for my work, this created enormous contradictions within our company. This too is something we will be able to cleanse and transform with your offerings. I will no longer travel. I will devote myself fully to leaving future generations a company that produces, in accordance with all the rules of the art of perfumery and indigenous traditions, these unique and incomparable supports for the opening of consciousness and emotional health. Not to mention the influences this can have on the whole being.
I apologize for not having a spiritual theme to offer you today. Usually, when I sit down to write to you on Saturday, I seek what might help you most spiritually. But today I am too filled with gratitude and energy for my work. So, this is what flows from the keyboard. I will return to our regular themes next week.
A wonderful weekend to all!
