Power of Flower's Complete Set with book/deck and essences In the western hemisphere, it’s summer! Mountain streams are flowing with snow melt and wild flowers are blooming! It’s time to make flower essences! As I prepare a trek into the mountain meadows, I’m forever inspired by the  mysterious connection between humanity, nature and biology, along with the interface of Soul. We’re discovering the scientific link between our own genetic signature and the fabric of a much larger medical model, revealing the part we play in our well-being as we address emotion, mental attitudes, and spiritual attunement. This act of evolution as an ongoing living process: mysterious, inspiring, graceful and powerful. The Advancement of Epigenetics and Flower Essences The epigenome is a component of our DNA that differs from the fixed genetic code. Unlike the static nature of our genes, the epigenome is dynamic and can change or mutate throughout a person’s lifetime  in response to environmental influences, emotions, lifestyle, and consciousness. This field of study is known as epigenetics , which is widely researched both in scientific communities and within metaphysical or holistic frameworks. The term epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix epi , meaning “upon” or “above,” indicating that epigenetic factors operate on top of or in addition to  the basic genetic code. These factors do not change the DNA sequence itself, but instead influence how genes are expressed—essentially turning genes on or off. So, by viewing the human body as a multi-dimensional energy system , epigenetics opens the door to understanding how the soul or consciousness may interact with molecular biology . In this light, the epigenome becomes a potential bridge between our physical biology and the subtle energies of mind, emotion, spirit, and environment. Here are some points of reference: Choices Shape Our Biology . We’re Not Trapped by our Genes.One of the most empowering ideas from epigenetics is that we are not entirely bound by the genes we were born with . While genetic code is fixed, the expression  of those genes is flexible and responsive. This challenges outdated ideas of genetic determinism and opens the door for transformation, healing, and growth—even across generations. Healing Emotional and Ancestral Patterns Epigenetic changes can also be influenced by emotional trauma, belief systems, and ancestral memory . Trauma that wasn’t resolved in one generation may carry over epigenetically—but the good news is that conscious healing can shift those patterns. Practices like inner child work, shadow integration, breathwork, and energy healing may affect the epigenome by altering our internal chemistry and responses to life. Flower Essences ~ Spiritual Highlights From a metaphysical perspective, the epigenome may act as a kind of interface between the soul and the body —responding to the vibrational information you feed it. As such, our thoughts , emotions, and consciousness become agents of transformation  in the physical body. Acts of love, creativity, presence, and aligned intention may literally reprogram cellular expression. Like the study of flower essences, epigenetics can cue us into a deeper understanding of our physical and spiritual existence. The fact that epigenetic processes are continuously at work and changing indicate that the evolutionary process is in constant motion. It appears we have an exciting part to play in the continuum of our health and destiny. I’m involved in a new project adding new flower blends to our repertoire of healing, addressing humanity’s advanced evolution during changing times. Stay tuned!

Oregon hike! When I was a little girl I shared a bedroom with my older sister. Arranged side by side, each bed had a shelved headboard that served as a childhood “altar,” displaying the things in life that separated us from one another.   My favorite item was a piece of cobalt blue glass that was flat, luminescent and about the size of a brick. I don’t know where it came from but it became an object of my imagination. I searched for items; an acorn resembling a fairy hat, a feather, a bird’s nest, a leaf shaped like an elf shoe, to place upon the glass. I wished for a Tom Thumb or a fairy like Thumbelina to accompany the treasures on my headboard. At age eight I discovered Troll Dolls. Some of you might remember these. I purchased colored squares of felt that I sized into little vests, hats, and dresses to outfit my trolls. The Troll Dolls delighted me. They nurtured a part of my soul that longs to commune with nature spirits, gnomes, flower fairies and the healing properties of nature.   As my life unfolded I would experience a deep and kindred relationship with the invisible forces of Nature, the Elemental Kingdom, and the luminescent light of flowers and plants. There will always be speculation regarding the unseen energies in the Universe as they are fiercely questioned by skepticism. In our current paradigm we have lost the ability to merge intellect with feeling and perception. The realities that lie behind our sense world, however, behind the world which humanity experiences as a physical existence, are palpable.   I am sitting in a lush valley in Hawaii and I am twenty-two years old. Uncannily open to the beauty of nature, I feel expansive and light filled. I knew this feeling as a child, although it frightened me, from my frequent ‘out of body’ travels at night.  Alone in the vastness of nature, I am not afraid. Receptive to the radiating flow spiraling color around my body, I feel peace, calm, and a wish to understand.  Accelerated light speeds up, green fern leaves vibrate so quickly I can put my hands through them.  I see the invisible…made visible.  When the light turns back into the form of leaves and flowers, I hear these words: “You have seen the light weavers of nature. This energy shape- shifts life. This is the blue print of the universe…light filled accelerated color, energy patterns and illumined spaciousness.”   This magnetic energy is referred to as Devic Consciousness, a quickened magnetic field of higher vibrational energy and light. Subtle matter, especially astral matter, is magnetic and expansive. Movement at this level is relatively fluid, compared to the dense physical plane. The slower moving, dense physical matter is referred to as the Atomic Plane. Our universal template is composed of various regions spanning many levels of vibrational influences from angels, plant devas, gnomes, right up to the Holy Trinity, a three fold dimension of The Feminine Soul of Nature, or Natura.   The territory of Nature embraces the embodiment of Divinity and serves as a mirror to Humanity. Nature itself is a reflection of balance which harmonizes the polarities of male/female, yin/yang, dark/light, heaven/earth, and spirit/matter. Our attempt to steward this knowledge and develop relationship with this cosmic field of elemental complexity requires the skill to seize ownership of our own Earth life. I would call this Ascension.  This field of knowledge can be defined as Devic Consciousness, a quickened magnetic field of higher vibrational energy and light. Of initiation into Elemental Consciousness and Soul Awakening…a royal gift offered to those who wish to see further into the realm of multi-dimensional Truth.   It is 1990 and I just arrived at the coast in Oregon where I will continue to write the text for the Inner Child Cards.  My cabin rests on a cliff over looking the Pacific Ocean. I recall the force of elemental intrusion that had shocked me out of my sleep the last time I stayed here. I lay my bags and books on a table and arrange my writing desk just the way I want it. I put away the groceries that I brought for my two week writing retreat. I can’t say why, but I lie down on the bed in this one room cabin and fall asleep. In my sleep I am once again ruffled as if someone is on the bed with me… I resist, and then I feel surrender…soon I am embraced in a sphere of blue, a blue I can not describe, and will never see again. The blue sphere becomes smaller and smaller until it is a jeweled dot of energy and I am in it. I am zinging about the room with quick and blissful movement. I also know that I am lying on my bed. The duality of this reality does not disturb me. When I return to my body it is a soft landing and these words are heard,” You have just experienced the joy of the universe. It is a permanent force of light that you may tap into whenever you wish. It will never betray you.” My life felt different from that day on…Awakened, I take a long walk on the beach and I swear I saw a mermaid sitting on a rock that day.   Finding our way through life changing events can prove enchanting, mysterious, and offers an opportunity to explore the responsibility of what it means to embody a mystical experience. We must align our life so as not to get carried away by the awe of it… and actualize the success of a physical life. True knowledge can only live within the individual when, alongside the aspirations for higher consciousness, a full measure of willingness to fulfill a destiny is sought. A journey into elemental consciousness can be life changing. When we become kindred with the light of this vibrational energy, something shifts deeply within the cellular body. It is a visceral experience. And we are changed forever.

~ Isha Lerner Major Arcana The Tower ~ Rapunzel from Inner Child Cards While researching and writing The Inner Child: A Fairy Tale Tarot , I was deeply inspired by the profound connection between Tarot and the mystical language of fairy tales. Layer upon layer of hidden wisdom began to emerge, revealing a lifetime journey into the Soul’s Code, Incarnation, and Destiny. Recently, I’ve launched a new exploration of human archetypes—especially the 22 Major Arcana cards—as they relate to our biology and genetic coding, using a variety of esoteric and scientific tools. This journey has expanded into the multidimensional realm of epigenetics , which examines the relationship between our genetic profile and the environment, our actions, and choices. Our very human design  is revealed in archetypes—both individual and cultural—that have been cultivated, sustained, and transformed across the ages. The families we are born into, the environments we choose, and the sacred agreements we carry are all encoded within our DNA. Individuation is not isolated; it is part of a greater collective—a universal blueprint that shapes the mystery of cellular communication both spiritually and biologically. The 22 Major Arcana cards  represent the evolutionary path of consciousness that begins at birth and continues beyond. They form a sacred system—perhaps born of stardust, planetary forces, or ancient civilizations still veiled in time. This universal weaving is not separate from everyday life—it is the secret architecture of it. With our birth, we become conscious participants, gradually uncovering insights that illuminate our path toward freedom and joy. Take, for instance, The Tower  card—often associated with sudden liberation, divine intervention, and awakening. In The Inner Child Cards , The Tower  is reimagined through the fairy tale of Rapunzel . Here, Rapunzel is the soul incarnated—captured by an enchantress (the karma of incarnation), held in the tower (a soul initiation), and ultimately liberated when her golden braid is cut (symbolizing the severing of egoic patterns and soul contracts). This golden braid is the code we are each born with. Rapunzel’s awakening unfolds when she is cast into the desert—abandoned and stripped of all she had known. In this barren landscape, she must rediscover her inner nourishment. This mirrors the Tower phase  many experience when transformational transits from outer planets—Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto—form aspects to personal planets like the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, or Mars. Over years of working with clients using Tarot and karmic astrology (through a method I call Power Mapping ), I’ve discovered a threefold pattern  at the heart of every archetype and myth: Incarnation , Initiation , and Enchantment . This sacred triad appears across countless fairy tales and myths—three tasks, three wishes, threefold trials—each a gateway to soul work. It reflects the number three  in the Tarot, associated with The Empress , who represents Earth, embodiment, and our connection to the natural world. The first layer, Incarnation , is symbolized by the Orphan —the soul at the beginning of the journey. This phase is echoed in psychology as the starting point of the Hero’s or Fool’s Journey. The Fool (ruled by Uranus, numbered zero) sets forth with innocence and trust, unaware of what lies ahead. In fairy tales, the orphan often appears when the mother dies or the child is abandoned. This symbolic “cutting” of the umbilical cord represents the soul's descent to Earth, where it must walk its own path and rediscover meaning. This is the first stage of embodiment. The second layer, Initiation , brings the challenges that refine and shape the soul. Here, the individual faces trials—remnants of karmic memory or past-life fragments—that must be re-patterned and healed. This phase is represented by cards such as The Magician , Justice , The Wheel of Fortune , The Hanged One , Death , and Temperance . Through these archetypes, we confront fears, shadow, and limitation—often symbolized by dragons or adversaries—and through this process, empowerment begins to awaken. The final layer, Enchantment , initiates a phase of miraculous insight and spiritual rebirth. This is when the soul is touched by grace—perhaps through a dream, a teacher, a synchronicity, or a catalyzing event. It is a time when all can change. Fairy tales capture this moment through transformation: the frog becomes a prince, the kiss awakens the sleeping princess, the genie offers a wish. These stories reflect the breaking of a deep inner spell—an old code that kept us limited. This phase seeks to embody The World  card—a completion and wholeness that includes self-love, creativity, service, and joy. It is here we recognize that even Saturn, often seen as harsh, holds the seed of our joy —a pattern of discipline that becomes freedom. We are born with a quest for Enchantment —to rediscover the light we carry within. As we awaken, our myth transforms. We return to the essence of Love, Service, and Joy. This is the evolution of The Fool's Journey. Years of client work inspired the creation of Power Mapping , a method I now offer to those seeking deeper connection with their soul code . It includes identifying Saturn’s placement in the birth chart, its aspects, the North and South Nodes, and their biological resonance with epigenetic patterns. Through this process, we usher individuals toward their soul tasks, healing, and destiny. Each of us is the protagonist of our own myth—a hero or heroine on the path of spiritual transformation.
