WHAT IS BIOLUMENESSENCE?

I love words. I love to create words or combinations of words, to capture the essence & energy of something, that may not already have a name, in order to bring that feeling, or that thing, to life.  The name BiolumenEssence is multidimensional in its meaning & creation. It is a play on the familiar word

BIOLUMINESCENCE:

ˌbīōˌlo͞oməˈnesəns.  noun

the biochemical emission of light by living organisms such as fireflies and deep-sea fishes.

If you look at a Kirlian photo of a flower, it has the same qualities as these organisms that emit bioluminescence.

BIO:

noun \ˈbī-(ˌ)ō\

~indicating or involving life or living organisms

LUMEN:

noun -lu·​men |  \ ˈlü-mən\

~unit of luminosity, from Latin lumen "light," related to lucere "to shine"

~a cavity within a plant cell enclosed by the cell walls

ESSENCE:

noun es·sence \ˈe-sən(t)s\

~ the real, and invariable nature of a thing

~ a substance obtained from a plant, by distillation, infusion and containing its characteristic properties in concentrated form.

~ the inward nature, true substance, or constitution of anything

~ a perfume; scent.

 

BIOLUMENESSENCE:

BiolumenEssence as I define it, is the conscious, life-affirming inner luminosity that authentically expresses the deeply aligned truth & essence of Who You Are ~often revealed as you awaken to your highest destiny through deepening your connection to the Wild~Benevolence of Nature: the very foundation of life on Earth.

BiolumenEssence was created to connect people to the heart & soul of nature, while deepening their awareness & experience of their own innate luminosity. I want people to see & feel the magic of the natural world that is unfolding around them, all the time, and the luminous nature of their own being.

MY STORY

Hi. I’m Julie. I have always had a deep & unrelenting connection to Nature, it's medicine & magic and to Spirit/ the Universe. Nature is my church ~ I refer to the spirit of nature as the “Wild Benevolence”.  I am a passionate environmentalist & defender of Gaia. My feet are firmly planted on the ground, yet my connection & faith to the Unseen is solid.  I love that flower essences hold a balance between being really grounded and earthy & really vibrational & “out there”. Maybe that is why I resonate with them so much.

I was initiated into the world of plant medicine when I was about 6 years old. I clearly remember one gorgeous spring day, gathering  petals from the unforgettably aromatic magnolia tree in my grandmother's front yard. I brought the petals into the house and proceeded to macerate them in water, in an effort to create "perfume". Reflecting back on that moment, there was something so ancient & wise that my 6-year-old Alchemist-Self was tapping into & embodying... and little did I know then, that I would be carrying this ancient legacy of communion with the plant community into the world, in a big way.

My work & education has, at its core, revolved around plant medicine, energy work and natural healing since 1997, when I took my first energy healing class & began working in the Natural Products Industry.

I moved to Sedona, Arizona in 2009, where I lived for six and a half years. It is a place of unparalleled beauty & spirit, with, what feels like, strong galactic ties. My time in Sedona taught me discernment, and schooled me in energy – my own and others’.

In 2013 I created AlcheMystical Apothecary (renamed BiolumenEssence LLC in 2016). In December of 2015, it was time to move back to CT. I felt the lush green of the east coast calling me home. I missed my plant community that I had come to know, and the soft, mossy earth under my feet. I spent most of my time the following spring & summer outside, taking photos, gardening, milking goats, and just being in awe at watching flowers bloom so much more abundantly than they do in the high desert of Arizona. 

Our innate connection to the Earth feels like it is being systematically conditioned out of us, as we spend more time looking at our devices than we do at a sunrise or the night sky. This relationship is essential to our humanness, our health, and the health of this planet. They say that you are what you eat....I share these essences & aromatics with you, as you ingest them, apply them & work with them, may you feel Nature starting to work her magic & awakening within you.

"As we move farther away from our natural wildness, we are longing for pieces of ourselves that are essential yet long forgotten. It is my passion to capture the wild~benevolence of nature and make it available to everyone. Connecting with nature, whether through a flower essence, essential oil, or being barefoot~lying with our heart to the Earth, it is essential to the remembering of Who We Are."
