Hi everyone,
I just want to let you know, I will not be answering Just Ask Miss Candice letters while I am in India. As I will be focusing on writing about essential oils and vibrational essences from different perspectives, and of course exploring and learning as much as I can. I am excited to be on this pilgrimage questing for plant knowledge and to bring back exotic, unique liquid botanicals and vibrational essences to share!
Also I would like to share with you some brief information about some exciting projects that are beginning to take form:
Shay Arave, president of Subtle Energy Solutions, and I are working diligently on an environmental/aura spray called Pristine. I have already had several requests for Pristine, but it is not ready yet. Shay will make an announcement when it is. For products to promote vibrant living and for a juicy newsletter, including the Just Ask Miss Candice archives, please visit www.subtleenergysolutions.com.
I am very excited to announce that Diana Byrnes, an amazing channel and light anchor in this world, will be channeling a very high vibration liquid light series. The content of this collection and release date are to be announced, but if you would like a little taste beforehand, I highly recommend a session with Diana! Please visit her website for more information: www.dianabyrnes.com.
The Crystal Temple has invited me to be a contributor to their newsletter. I am excited and honored to work with such a community-oriented organization. They offer a rich array of classes, initiations, meditations, private healing sessions and a newly stocked store! You can visit them at www.crystaltemple.org.
The Simply Essential Oils website contains an A-Z Guide to Essential Oils, which provides helpful information on the most commonly used essential oils. The website also hosts my Just Ask Miss Candice column and offers private healing sessions, featuring breath work and rebirthing by Sara Dawn. For more information, please visit www.simplyessentialoils.com.
Bright Blessings,
Miss Candice

Hi Everyone,
We are doing well here, and all is good. Charles gets this Thursday off and the following Thursday and Friday due to holiday -- hurray! So more exploration to be had. Every nook and cranny here is filled with some thing to see, touch and taste -- so it takes forever to see even one city block! Yesterday, we left at 10am and got back for dinner around 6ish, and we did not even finish the entire block at Gem Plaza! The jewelry here is mind blowing, and the stones used are just beautiful.
Yesterday, the shop keeper from Cashmere, offered us lunch, and taught us how to turn our hands into natural spoons -- you form your pinky to pointer into a bowl, and use your thumb to push the food down the "shoot" into your mouth!
All very fun, at first I was just picking it up with my fingers in a pinchy way, tipping my head back and dropping it in. He laughed and said, no, no, no -- and explained if you miss his way, back onto the plate no mess or waste, my way down your front.... not so good! (Charles did it correctly from the get go!)
They also had the most amazing tea, long slender green tea leafs from the Himalayas', with saffron, whole cardamom and cinnamon. Simply divine. I will have to make a pot for any one who wants to come over and share a cup!
The night life here is a kick also, every thing closes down around 11:30, the Lounge Anu's father took us to, was very clever. The drink menu was pasted to a bottle, so you had to twist it to see what was available, and the menu was in the form of a news paper, and the music was fun like saturday night at the fez. We found a great DJ, who is an east/west fusion, Reheated Naan and Curry, you can find him and down load him on i-tunes, I highly recommend him -- very fun!
