The 9 Virtues

---

 Sometimes when we are guided to walk a particular path, or to have “unpopular” opinions, we feel shunned by our families, friends and even societal expectations. This blend helps us stand tall in our convictions, no matter what. 

It is important to love everyone, even those not in our “tribe” or of the same attitudes and lifestyles. This is not easy. Why is it important? Because, sometimes those people who push our buttons the most are our closest allies “on the other side”. Their purpose is to activate us to enable us to experience something particular in our lives. If we can thank them (even if just in our minds, that’s ok) for what they have helped us to experience, it is a game changer for everyone. 

This awareness refers to the interconnectedness of all life on the planet. It is asking us to be aware of chemicals we use in our own homes. It is important to be aware of steps we can take in our own lives to leave a smaller footprint on our planet. This Virtue also reminds us of the influence of our actions now for the next 7 generations. 

Detached Compassion helps us become observers… It helps us not be so fully engaged in outcomes. What may look like a bad decision made by someone else may be their soul’s lesson. We do not know the lessons that souls are here to learn. This is especially challenging with family members. 

Why do we do what we do? Are we of the energy of Service to Others or Service to Self? This blend helps us take a good long look at our motives. Sometimes, we are not doing what we have a passion to do; sometimes we are living our lives based on the expectations of others. This blend really provides a laser beam into our deepest intentions, motives, and dreams.

This blend helps us to understand the roles that we all play, and that to forgive others is freeing for ourselves. It helps us allow forgiveness for ourselves as readily as for others. The empathy piece helps us create healthy boundaries, which many empaths struggle with. 

Perseverance will help us keep going, even when the going is tough, and it will be…A LOT. Many times, when we have the Clarity part down, and the Courage part in place, this is where we need a bit of extra help. Walking the spiritual path is challenging, and sometimes we feel run down and burdened. This blend helps us to stay on track, gives us encouragement; and know deep in our hearts that we never walk this path alone.

This blend reminds us that Joy is a manifestation of pure agape love. It helps us to maintain a bubble of joy around us, even when we are alone. Sometimes, it is easier to feel joy when we are involved in an activity, or in the company of those we love. What happens when we cannot participate in our favorite activities or be around our loved ones For whatever reason. This blend helps us in a quiet way to keep a feeling of calmness and joy around us…even in dark moments. When we are deep in grief, it is suggested to use this blend in conjunction with the Grief elixir (from the StarLight Collection).

This blend “wraps it up” for ALL of the changes we go through with these Virtues. We surrender to the changes and release our old habits and patterns of behavior that are no longer helpful. Then we align with our new patterns, allowing the NEW to come into our energy fields. Integration is allowing a “re-weaving” of our soul fabric, our energy fields. This blend is loving and gentle because many of us feel a sense of wonder and awe and perhaps some vulnerability,  after going through so many changes we did not know possible. On the other hand, it is also like a coach or mentor, who knows us so well and recognizes when we are not living up to our potential and will not encourage sliding back into unhealthy patterns which benefit no one. 

This is not one of the Virtues. It was created as an “umbrella” elixir that is malleable for whatever is needed, as a booster. It is not recommended unless the training has been completed.
