Staff goddesses report to me that the fifth dimension is once again the talk of the town amongst healers, alternative practitioners and astrologers. This made me think back to early days here and how our focus on the fifth dimension came to be so central to our mission.

While many think of the 1960’s as a time of alternative spiritual searching, there was another burst of intense interest forty years ago in the 1980’s. Here in the upper valley of Vermont and New Hampshire, a constant stream of gatherings for meditation, channelings and discussions about what the heck we were all doing here on earth kept seekers engaged and bubbling with excitement.

As a young mother of toddlers, my Tuesday night meditation class at the Hanover, NH Friends meeting house was a chance to wallow uninterrupted in all things spiritual. Our teacher would talk about things that felt familiar but were new to me in this life- topics like reincarnation, soul purpose or the idea that all religions had more commonality than differences. We would meditate as a group (always a gift) then he would exhort us all to go right home quietly with our “filled buckets of light energy.” As the class was almost all stay at home mothers in need of some adult conversation, when class ended, we would disregard this suggestion and hightail it to the iconic Lou’s Cafe, also in Hanover, to chatter away about this whole new way of experiencing life (and eat ice cream sundaes). Lots of new vocabulary and ideas swirled, one being this notion of the fifth dimension.

I gathered that the fifth dimension was not a place so much as a state of being. I gathered that being in the fifth dimension required us to shift our electrical system to a higher frequency. Moving into the fifth dimension seemed to be part of the much discussed Ascension process. I wasn’t sure how all this worked, but I was game to dive in. I diligently searched for answers.

Insights often came in unexpected ways. Helpful books fell off shelves or I would run into someone who answered a burning question without me even asking. It was very hard to miss that when we are on a spiritual search, there are many unseen helpers supporting us with great enthusiasm.

Contrary to what I first assumed, this fifth dimension thing was not about being less in our bodies but actually being fully in a body transformed by more light. The body was understood to be indivisible from the soul and not something to be risen above. Our being was both electric or vibrational and solid matter. Within us was total Divinity.

This was a very different way of thinking about the body soul connection than ideas soaked into me by my more traditional family. Their religious ideas might best be described as Puritan lite. All the joylessness of Puritan attitudes prevailed with a dismissal of the body as nothing more than a tool to be used in service to the mind. The soul was a separate entity and like the heart, given lip service but not really seen as significant. Needless to say, there was much to throw out in all I had been taught. The meditation class was the place I began. Letting go of ideas, attitudes, “truths” continued on to be central to lightening my energy systems so I could try to live in the fifth dimension.

I was led to Flower Essences as a framework for healing that helped us raise our vibration into the fifth dimension. That Flowers mattered was a dream come true. My love of Flowers, with me since a tiny child, now blossomed into something that was in service to our collective spiritual path. I came to understand that Flowers were Love incarnate and the fifth dimension was a vibrational state in which we too experienced ourselves as Love incarnate.

The wise beings guiding us here at Green Hope Farm had us create gardens that operated like atomic accelerators to raise our vibrations. Of course we had to choose to maintain this vibration by choosing love over hate, but the gardens and the Flower Essences made from these gardens gave us a serious leg up.

The Venus Garden from the first moment it took form in the spring of 1993 had a particular focus on untangling knots that keep us from staying in a fifth dimensional state of being. Each season our guides design a Venus Garden that works on a specific concerns we need to transmute in order to remain in the fifth dimension.

We plant a Venus Garden mandala in the same spot each spring. The design is always a departure from previous versions of the garden, but the designs often involves architectural elements that take things off the ground. Even after growing and planting the hundreds of seedlings for this garden, we have no idea the gardens specific spiritual purpose. Then during the growing season, all sorts of lessons arrive at our door as spiritual stumbling blocks. With the help of the garden and its combination Flower Essence, we are supported to learn how to navigate and rise above these specific stumbling blocks. I’ve come to grudgingly appreciate the stumbling blocks as they clue us into the nature of what the garden is there to solve. Going forward after the season, we have the combination Flower Essences as a resource to solve these specific dilemmas on the spiritual path.

Here are a few examples that briefly outline the gifts of some of Venus Garden iterations. The Sunflower Spiral helps us experience ourselves as spiraling upwards within a community of caring beings. It works to help us both feel a sense of belonging and also recognize gifts we receive from others and gifts we can pass on to others. Phoenix Rising helps us manage firestorms within and without. It helps us manage the element of Fire to transform not burn out. Safe Passage helps us find the support needed to navigate our birth process to a new Earth reality. You are Loved tackles all those inner illusions that we are not Loved. The Alignment Garden supports us to follow our inner guidance meticulously and to align our physical and energetic body, a vital undertaking especially in times of radical change like right now. The Eight Garden supports manifestation, healing and our back and forth flow deeper into Divinity.

No matter the vicissitudes of the world, the Venus Garden and its Flower Essence gifts remain anchored in the fifth dimension and supportive of our own anchoring in this dimension. All Flower Essences made in this garden from the different mandalas key in on helping us with our planetary evolution to live in the fifth dimension. Many of the same Flowers show up in the Venus Garden mandalas and live on our shelves available as individual Flower Essences. Mehera, Snapdragon, Larkspur, Sunflower, French Marigold Zinnias and Cosmos are just a few of the Flowers that are frequent residents.

In closing, here is how the fifth dimension was described in our Guide to Green Hope Farm Flower Essences:

WHAT IS THE FIFTH DIMENSION?

I can’t speak to the physics of this or offer a learned discussion of string theory or anything else. I can say that the Angels have told us that the Venus Garden is the place at the farm where the fifth dimension is anchored and that being in the Venus Garden is a fifth dimensional experience. Pressed for more details, they note that, “The fifth dimension is both your destiny and already totally present in your lives. The fifth dimension feels both familiar and more real than everyday reality. It may remind you a bit of experiences in your childhood. You experienced the fifth dimension as a child more easily because it was the dimension from whence you had just come. The fifth dimension is the dimension in which Heaven exists. It is the dimension where you coexist with us, the Angels, Elementals and spiritual teachers, and you know this, because you experience us clearly. It is the dimension where you will reunite with the unlimited part of yourself that knows both oneness with all creation and the unconditional divine love, divine wisdom, and divine power that is your birthright. In this dimension you feel totally present to the NOW and with that, all eternity. It is a place where your decisions are not reactions to friction, but spring from deep felt inner truths. It is a place where quirky, marvelous miracles slip into our lives with ease. When Emily was seven and first stepped into the season’s Venus Garden, she said, “Here is a place where I feel all light and floaty, where I have no worries.” We say, but of course.”

At breakfast today I listened to an organic homesteader in Ohio who needs to move her farm because of pesticide drift. Despite her meticulous care of her organic gardens, her children have high levels of agricultural pesticides, herbicides and fungicides in their systems blowing in from surrounding conventionally managed fields. In one of those synchronicities so much a part of GHF, when I can into the office, there was a request for a custom mix from a farmer in Ohio who wanted a mix to deal with pesticide drift. This synchronicity led me to decide to post the ingredient list of this mix for one and all.

Allspice, Lemon, Flow Free, Comfrey, Restore Divine Order, Burdock, Precious Blood, Purify, Tomato, Spanish Bayonet, Musk Thistle, Cilantro, Cedar

This is a POWERFUL mix of Flower Essences that work to cleanse our physical systems including our blood, and all parts of our energy field to restore us to pristine health. If people request it, we can make this into a general mix offered for one and all, not just as a custom mix. Just let us know. Cleanse seems like a good name but your thoughts. on the name would be appreciated.

The person requesting the mix dreamed that Allspice needed to be in the mix. This brought interesting insight into Allspice, suggesting it heightens our senses because it cleanses our energy field of things like pesticides that stop us from full sensory experience.

I would suggest this mix for anyone exposed to toxic chemicals.

I also suggest people clear the land where they live each day and include a specific request to remove all pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, moldacides and any toxic chemicals from the land they are clearing.

I have written many times about land clearing and cleansing in the last twenty years. Here is a blog that links to several of these blogs but if you search land clearing in the search bar for the blog you will find MANY blogs going over a basic technique.

One thing that is VERY helpful when doing Land Clearing is to put drops of Flower Essences in your palm then ask the head Elemental, Pan, to energetically move this through the land being cleared. This mix would be a very good one to use on land being cleansed but many Flower Essences are fantastic for this so feel free to work with what you have.

We often get questions about whether it is okay to clear land that you don’t own. When I want to clear a piece of land beyond GHF, I ask my guides if this is okay. I have been given the okay to clear land that does not belong to me, and I have sometimes been told to not clear land that does not belong to me. Sometimes I have worked a piece of land for a decade then been told to stop. Sometimes I think this is perhaps because other people more directly involved are doing the work, but I am not sure.

At this point, Gaia is desperate for our support so I would be very surprised if you got a no.

That reminds me that sharing Gaia Knows Best with the part of earth where you live or work is another way you can help Gaia right now. This Venus Garden Essence was created during a growing season in which Gaia chose the Venus Garden layout and Flowers planted then had us stay out of the garden after planting until the end of the season when the Essence was created Wherever Gaia Knows Best is dropped on the surface of the earth, the Essence gives Gaia a chance to be its true self without our interference.

One last thing, logjams in the strait of Hormuz mean that a quarter of the world’s fertilizer can’t get distributed this growing season. This will obviously impact food prices in short order. Growing even a tub of vegetables or Flowers may save you a bit of money, but just as importantly, it is a way to connect to Gaia and all the Elementals working the Earth who very much need our love and support as we go through this time of rebirth.

Sending you much love from all of us at Green Hope Farm.

Addendum- Since posting this, we have received requests for this mix so it is now online as Cleanse The mix was created with the addition of Dandelion, Black Currant and Bottlebrush.

One of our beloved staff Goddesses is in Dubai right now. After a career as a guidance counselor in a local high school, she worked two years at an international school in Dubai. After this time, she came on board at the farm to pack orders on Monday in addition to a job the rest of the week reading college applications for a college admissions team. It has been great fun to have Andrea here as her perspective on pretty much everything is zesty and compelling.

This February Andrea went back to see her friends who were still teaching at the school in Dubai. February is a brutal month in New Hampshire. Especially this winter with its relentless cold and snow, it felt like a wonderful chance for her to ditch the challenging weather and see old friends. Now she is finds herself in the middle of a war.

We don’t have much information but so far she is safe. From the faculty housing for her former school she has seen missiles shot down and debris falling. Right now it looks like she won’t be able to leave Dubai for another ten days. Our thoughts and prayers have been with her, and we are grateful for the updates her family has given us.

I used to yammer on about how everyone should carry a bottle of Emergency Care on their person or in their pocket. I wish I had handed a bottle to Andrea on her way out the door. I wish I had known to send enough for her whole teaching community. But I didn’t know she would need this remedy so much. That is probably why I was always suggeting people carry a bottle at all times.

Emergency Care calms the electrical system when it is stressed. Here is how it is described on the website:

Emergency Care helps our electrical systems handle situations of stress, fear, intense turmoil, trauma, acute illness or an ongoing health challenge. It can be taken as frequently and for as long as we want to help remind our electrical systems how to manage in a crisis or handle a long term acute situation.

We have sent thousands of Emergency Care into places including Fukushima and territories devastated by hurricanes including Katrina and Helene. Thanks to Green Hope Farm friends like yourselves willing to distribute Essences, we can donate when there is an emergency.

Emergency Care is a tremendously well rounded remedy addressing so many ways we experience emergency situations. Composed 35 years ago, the Angels and Elementals have kept the recipe just as it is. I find it helps to put drops in water then sip during a crisis, but even holding a bottle helps.

When my children were little I would give them Emergency Care when they were hurt and also take some myself. It is its own kind of stress to contain someone experiencing an emergency situation and this remedy helps.

Many if not all of us are experiencing stress related to all the things going on in our country and abroad. Emergency Care, Anxiety and Golden Armor all offer so much support to keep on going during this time.

We are also happy to create a Custom Mix for you or your beloveds to support the specifics of your situation. And I am returning again and again to the See the Forest Through the Trees Set for all the ways it is so deeply supportive right now. We need the help of the trees for so many reasons, and here in this set they offer their dovetailed and immense support.

No matter what our surface differences, across the web of light which reflects to our indivisible unity in the light, we send you our love and blessings wherever you are and whatever you are going through.

PS Our beloved arrived back safely from Dubai on March 13th after ten very harrowing days.

As we continue to hear from you about the new set To See the Forest Through the Trees, we are reminded again and again the profound gifts trees offer us.

You speak of feeling sheltered by the vibration of these Tree Essences and how this helps during these winds of change. Trees shelter us differently than man made shelters. By and large, man made shelters remove us and separate us from nature. Trees shelter while also helping us feel apart of it all. To feel both sheltered and deeply connected is a fine thing.

The strength of these Tree Essences strengthens us. Their vibration shares with us their unwavering and enduring nature. Their quiet determination to keep going is its own kind of strength. They show us the way for us to keep going too.

Trees rise up above the rest of the landscape and see the long view out across the surrounding terrain. Tree Essences share that overview and its consoling perspective. It always irritated me when my mother said to me, “This too shall pass,” but it’s true, and trees help us know this is actually good news not bad.

Trees help us with discernment. We need that right now as many use manipulative technologies to press in on us.

Trees remain grounded through all but the most extreme weather. They help us root ourselves where life has planted us. Trees connect to other trees via their root system. Trees help us root in the life we have been given and see in it constant opportunities to connect with love to others.

Trees shelter all kinds of diverse life. They don’t discriminate and only shelter their own kind. They help us embrace the diversity of life around us. Even the groundhogs.

Tree Essences convey a vibration of trust in life. They don’t have the choice to move themselves around, so they grow where they are planted. They trust life to provide. They adapt in the face of difficulties. When they die, they decompose and serve the landscape where they lived. They let go into the cycles of the natural year and the cycles of life. Easier to write this as a young person than an older person, but still the truth. There is a time for every season under heaven, and trees know it.

This is but the tip of the iceberg about how Trees support us and why this set is so timely. We live in a time in which unreal food is shoved at us, unreal entertainment hammers us, and unreality tries to consume us. But trees and all nature stands in counterpoint to this. If we cultivate the patience of trees, another vibrational wisdom offered by trees, we too can find our way out of the fake forest of the unreal back to the real where we remember that one thing that is real is love.

Many of you have reached out to share your experiences with our new set of Tree Flower Essences called To See the Forest Through the Trees. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have shared. You have deepened my understanding of how this group of Essences helps us at this pivotal moment in our planetary evolution.

Persistence. Patience. Comfort. Discernment. Rebirth. Holding the Long View. Illumination of Truth. Courage in the face of great challenges. Feeling the palpable presence of Divinity. These are among the things you have mentioned as arenas supported by this mix.

I realize that there has been so much said already about this set and the work it brings us to that I will have to write a couple blogs. First, however, I want to share what midwife Stella Luz said when I asked her about the point in labor called transition when the birth is close but the hardest moment is upon the mother, and she must summon everything within her to get through this moment. This is where we are as a planet so this midwife’s reflections offer wisdom for us all.

Stella said, “When I think about transition in labor (and funny that people often refer to death as a transition also), I always hear these words from Psalm 23:4, “Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death…” You know, the psalm beseeching Divine protection through one’s most fearful experiences because this is freaking awful!! And I also think of the quote from The Red Tent by Anita Diamont, “Why did I not know that birth is the pinnacle where women discover the courage to become mothers?…Until you are the woman on the bricks, you have no idea how death stands in the corner, ready to play his part. Until you are the woman on the bricks, you do not know the power that rises from other women.”

Stella continues, ” I think transition is the point in childbearing where everything becomes very, very real. It is relentless. A space where you have to remain at the peak of your physical strength and resilience evoking more courage than you thought you possessed. At the same time you must surrender your higher brain to mammalian instincts, dissolving away from your intellect ( which reacts to the forces and discomforts of labor with fear and protest). One must surrender to the forces that move your baby through you and into the world and in this trusting state, you, yourself, become like an infant in the hands of women and care providers who are with you. You commend your body and your baby into the (hopefully) loving hands of others. I also believe that there are innumerable hands and hearts reaching to the laboring woman from other dimensions- the kind, soothing hands of all our ancestors from the time the first proto human held the hand of a sister or a friend in childbirth. And with all this help, you weave your way through the valley of shadows where life can be very tenuous (even in a hospital birth setting) until you have safely delivered your child and sent lurking death away with the immense relief you have survived and brought a new soul through you.”

After sharing Stella’s thoughts here in the GHF office, we talked about how rare it is for women to be seen or even know their own immense bravery and strength hard earned when giving birth or when living in solidarity with each other. In owning what we learned about ourselves when we gave birth to a child, in owning how, countless times, we have contained others as they often painfully give birth to new iterations of themselves, In bearing witness as a beloved grieves what must be let go and moves forward into the complete unknown, we can RIGHT NOW, know we can give birth to this new world. We have the skills and the heart for it. As when a human birth is imminent, we have no choice but to roll up our sleeves and stay present and let the birth move through us. That is where we are.

I write this on the first day of the Chinese New Year which ushers in the powerful year of the Fire Horse. A solar eclipse also happens today. Saturn and Neptune with be conjunct at the beginning of the Zodiac at zero degree of Aries on Friday the 20th of February 2026 while Saturn is already at zero degrees Aries having moved there on Feburary 13th. Also today, Venus (our values) conjoins the North Node (soul purpose and where we are meant to go).

Let’s face it, Birth is upon us!

The Trees join a sea of Divine forces supporting us, but we humans must do the actual work in physical form to birth this new world. There is no getting around it. We must face who we have been and let it die. We must find the same resolve and strength to do what we did in all the kinds of births our lives have brought us. This birth is a big one, but in owning the truth of what we have already birthed, we can prevail here.

Let me finish with a quote from another beautifull letter sent to us about experiences with the Tree set. I hope this will further encourage you that WE WILL DO IT! We will give birth to a new planet by giving birth to a new way of living in all of our communities and in the particulars of our lives just as women have always done!

“As I sit here writing to you, I feel more at peace and secure within myself. More than I have ever felt. It just keeps growing by the second. I felt the presence and energy of this sacred set instantly. My life has transformed after the first set of drops touched my mouth. All I can say is I feel home. Confident and safe in what I am doing for lost souls and also my life. Impenetrable. A strength of oneness with God. Words are hard to describe this feeling. But it was instant where my outer world shifted to match this sacred inner being. This will help so many. So many. My cup feels overflowing with love, where before it felt like I was giving every last drop away without even knowing. With this overflowing I am now able to help in the way I’ve always known was possible. This is only day 2. I look forward to more blessings this set brings to my life. I am eternally grateful to these trees and flowers and to you. This feels like the final step needed to get me over that bridge. Finally.”
