KUTA stands for Kick Up The Arse
(We're not joking - it always pays to have a sense of humour!)

KUTA Essences are created by Dianna Hardy and Alastair Hay.

These are deeply transformative, channelled environmental essences made at stone circles, sacred locations, and magical hotspots within the British Isles. They aid with the deep transformational shifts we need to make that test our emotions and trigger our fears. These first five essences are for our entry into the new phase of earth energies (present since around 2012, although many have been feeling them since 2002), a phase which has certainly been felt by many in recent months with the spectacular full moons, supermoons and eclipses we've been having.

KUTA Essences work on deep-seated fears, past life karma that needs to be released, old thought patterns we need to shed, and help us embrace the new by trusting in the energy of love.

Making KUTA-1 Essence at Stanton Drew Stone Circle

Do you need a KUTA? We're here to help.

KUTA-1

Stanton Drew Stone Circle

This Essence was made on Beltane (or May Day) 1st May, on a beautiful, mild, sunny day, just hours after an almighty thunderstorm rocked the skies.

Essence Guide
KUTA-1 helps if you are warring with yourself over something heavy and dark. A life-altering decision needs to be made. It could hurry along the 'make or break' stage of a relationship. It is for when you feel different to others (maybe above them or more powerful than them) and you don't know how to fit in; likewise it can bring the balance if you feel too subordinate or below others and you need to become 'more' than what you are. To rise to an occasion. Taking this essence will challenge your motives and what you think is right. But the day this essence was made was on the calm after the storm... so you can take this when desperately searching for the peace within a situation and yourself. It will help you come out of your cocoon, and for harmony to reign over an argument, but only after  the final battle!
​
Lastly, but importantly, due to the lightning hitting the quartz-ingrained stone circle the previous night, this essence will help to integrate any new ‘programming’ you receive, i.e. thought patterns, etheric blueprints, and the emotional and energetic integration any kind of transplant.

KUTA-2

The Witch's Cottage,
​Ditchling Common

This Essence was made on a brisk November evening at sunset - not on purpose; it just happened that, after seeing several portents, sunset was the exact time we 'found' the site of the Witch's Cottage.

Essence Guide
KUTA-2 is a remedy for connecting you with your Dark Self (or Shadow). It can help you to put right the things you've done wrong in your past (either this past or karmic past), but it forces you to face the things you do not like about yourself. However, if you have the strength to do this, KUTA-2 is amazingly good at supporting the transformation of this Dark Self into Love and something you can begin to accept... And acceptance within ourselves is how we begin to right all wrongs. This remedy has something of the 'phoenix' in it: from the ashes we shall rise. It's not an easy essence to take and we would recommend taking it slowly, in small doses, whilst in your personal retreat, so you have the time and space to deal with what comes up.

KUTA-3

Nine Ladies Stone Circle (and King Stone), Derbyshire

Made on another   November,  from noon to 1pm - it was a sunny and quiet afternoon.

Nine Ladies Stone Circle, Derbyshire

Essence Guide
KUTA-3  is a big one for use when working through emotions surrounding fertility/maternal issues at any stage: pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy or post pregnancy. It can get to the heart of the matter, breaking through emotional barriers you may have placed to protect both heart and womb from past wars. In doing so, this essence can slowly help to bring you back into balance and ready to ‘receive’ a child if this is your intention. This remedy teaches us how to open and give ourselves to others (without being submissive), can heal emotional wounds, allow us to cry safely, connect us to our femininity for both men and women, and heal bonds between mother and child. 

KUTA-4

Grey Ladies Stone Circle, 9 Stone Close, Derbyshire

Made on a misty, wet day in the month of November.

Grey Ladies Stone Circle, Derbyshire

Essence Guide
KUTA-4  stirs ancient knowledge deep within your soul or connected to past lives. If you need to remember / rekindle something lost in time, take before sleep and note your dreams. This stone circle was heaving with grief, rigidity, regret and immobility. Therefore, all these issues can be addressed with this essence. If you need to learn how to be at peace with all the things you cannot ‘undo’ or how to forgive the unforgivable, KUTA-4 will show you how… but it will not be an easy journey. This essence can reach deeply buried stuff, but understand that in order to unbury it, you will be called to revisit those places you did not want to go (which is why you buried it all in the first place). However, this stone circle was also emanating strength and solidity – if this is a journey you’re brave enough to take, the Grey Ladies will do everything they can to ensure you don’t fall.

KUTA-0

Venus Eclipse of the Sun,
​Pewley Down, Guildford, Surrey

Made in the last hour of this transit with the sun shining directly into the bowl of water, (which faced East) and an amethyst releasing gathered astral information placed in the centre. Faery beings also claimed their space around the bowl and directed the vibrations appropriately.

Essence Guide
KUTA-0 is a  very good essence to take when overcoming big fears. It also gives you a kick up the arse if you know you need to move a bit faster but your mental and emotional blocks are slowing you down. KUTA-0 is very good at removing self-inflicted obstacles (esp. when placed there by fear) and can give you the courage needed to step into the light. Releasing the masculine and embracing the feminine. This essence, placed here at the end even though it was the first one made, can also be combined with any of the other KUTA Essences to enhance their effect and offer a bit of needed nurture, since Venus embodies heart energy.

Keywords:  transformation, moving from fear to love, combining heart and mind, when new clarity is needed, keeping up with world changes, freedom from self-inflicting limitations, throwing off expectations, acceptance, breaking blockages.

KUTA Essences are  limited and therefore not available over-the-counter, but by prescription through consultation. Please contact us for more information.
