&lt;p&gt;There are ten collections or families of essences in the First Light range. The first eight collections of essences correspond to the eight dimensions of holistic wellbeing and the last two collections move into the world of guardians, protectors and conduits of magical prayer allowing access to ancient wisdom.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #594840;&quot;&gt;Balance, Strengthen, Protect and Clear the &lt;strong&gt;Chakras&lt;/strong&gt; with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nzfloweressences.co.nz/collections/tree-collection-no-s-44-50/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Tree Collection No's 44-50&lt;/a&gt;.

They also assist the soul to move through the twenty-two universal archetypal life challenges and situations encountered on the journey of life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #594840;&quot;&gt;Work in Harmony with Nature with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nzfloweressences.co.nz/collections/healers-collection-no-s-85-96/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Healers Collections No's 85-96&lt;/a&gt;.

			<title>How to use Native Flower Cards?</title>
			<link>http://www.nzfloweressences.co.nz/community/news-and-blog/how-to-use-native-flower-cards/</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;The New Zealand native flower cards draw on the timeless wisdom, beauty and power of New Zealand's unique native flora. Use the flower essence cards for daily enjoyment, inspiration and insight. They can be used in many different ways. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shuffle, cut the deck and select card/s. Alternatively fan out the cards face down and select intuitively.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;One Card Teacher Plant Ally Spread&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Select one card and ask any of the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #594840;&quot;&gt;What is the card/flower essence of the day?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #594840;&quot;&gt;What is at the heart of this issue?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #594840;&quot;&gt;What quality do I or another person need?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #594840;&quot;&gt;What energy do I need to observe or embrace today?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #594840;&quot;&gt;What New Zealand native flower essence could assist me with this issue?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Three Baskets of Knowledge - Past, Present and Future Spread&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Draw one card for each position. Card One indicates the Past and the basis of what lies behind the current situation. It indicates the gift/challenge that is associated with the Past that may need to be considered, addressed or integrated in order to move forward. Card Two indicates the requirement, gift or challenge associated with the Present or current situation. Card Three shows what will be revealed, develop or occur. The gift, challenge or outcome associated with the Future. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Eight Card Spread - Te Wheke - Eight Dimensions of Wellbeing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Maori spirituality Te Wheke the octopus of infinite wisdom with its eight tentacles covers all directions and dimensions of total wellbeing. Draw eight cards and each card selected indicates a specific plant ally to assist and guide you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Card One: &lt;strong&gt;Mana&lt;/strong&gt; - Expressing your absolute uniqueness.&lt;br/&gt; Card Two: &lt;strong&gt;Mauri&lt;/strong&gt; - Nourishing your soul, essential self, psyche.&lt;br/&gt; Card Three: &lt;strong&gt;Wairua&lt;/strong&gt; - Valuing your spirit self.&lt;br/&gt; Card Four: &lt;strong&gt;Tinana&lt;/strong&gt; - Honouring your physical body.&lt;br/&gt; Card Five: &lt;strong&gt;Hinengaro&lt;/strong&gt; - Experiencing your whole mind. &lt;br/&gt; Card Six: &lt;strong&gt;Whanaungatanga&lt;/strong&gt; - Celebrating your interrelatedness within the web of life. &lt;br/&gt; Card Seven: &lt;strong&gt;Whatumanawa&lt;/strong&gt; - Cherishing your humanness, emotions, feelings and sentient self. &lt;br/&gt; Card Eight: &lt;strong&gt;Taonga&lt;/strong&gt; - Treasuring your gifts from the ancestors, the gifts you can access at this time or in this situation. &lt;/p&gt;

			<link>http://www.nzfloweressences.co.nz/community/news-and-blog/medicine-woman-shamanic-apprenticeship-course-begins-in-february-2012/</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a name=&quot;http://www.nzfloweressences.co.nz/medicine-woman/medicine-woman-apprenticeship/&quot;&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nzfloweressences.co.nz/medicine-woman/&quot;&gt;Certificate in Shamanic Studies&lt;/a&gt; is a 12 month program that focuses on the necessary magical 12 Rites of Passage of the Healer.  It forms the first part of the full Medicine Woman Apprenticeship©, a three year progamme.  It embodies the highly respected tradition of the apprentice, a tradition that has been based on the acquisition of knowledge and the development of skill and ability through practical application under supervision.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;During the course, each student is actively working under direction with metaphysical realities to assist the earth and to restore balance and harmony on the planet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; white-space: pre; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;&quot;&gt;The Medicine Woman Apprenticeship© is unique in that it provides the important facility of enabling the apprentice healer-shaman to immediately work magically to help facilitate planetary transformation at the same time as they work to enhance their shamanic capacity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

			<title>Disaster Relief - Your Stories</title>
			<link>http://www.nzfloweressences.co.nz/community/news-and-blog/disaster-relief-your-stories/</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;We received an email from Manawa, a registered First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand practitioner and valued member of our network.  She gave us some great feedback as to how she has been supporting her local community in various ways.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;A good friend of hers has been offering support to a group of international refugees who had been displaced once again by the Christchurch Earthquake.  Although their basic needs of food and housing are being met, they are attempting to deal with trauma, shock and nightmares as a result of the natural disaster.  Manawa donated a box of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nzfloweressences.co.nz/store/21st-c-survival-kit-essences/disaster-relief-c.html&quot;&gt;Disaster Relief bottles &lt;/a&gt;on behalf of Franchelle at First Light and they have been well received.&lt;br/&gt;In other instances donations have been facilitated by Manawa to a  groups of people who have lost their homes and are living in barns in neighboring paddocks and in camping villages.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thanks Manawa for your initiative and action!  It is a privilege to have you as part of the First Light Family!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
