THE IMAGERY & SYMBOLISM OF AHA MOMENT
The Cockatoo
Aha Moment's imagery and name are mostly built by plays on words. The essential oil blend will improve focus, get grounded, and help you find clarity. The base oils and botanicals have Alpha Hydroxy Acids - AHA for short. Finding clarity - like the exclamation one cries out when they make a discovery or have a realization. Which is what I experienced when I created these blends and just like moments you'll have with all the improved focus.

In Australia, Cockatoos have different meanings assigned to them based on their coloring - from being a strong soul to being alert and focused. They have come to symbolize moments in your life when it is time to let things go - be it bad habits, negative energy, people - or, maybe dead skin cells (wink wink). They are also aligned with communication and creativity as well as regeneration.
In a traditional creation story, the Cockatoo is the first creature to ever die, and this begins their search to better understand the nature of mortality. Ultimately, the Cockatoo comes to understand that death is only a part of transformation and immortality is gained through this process of rebirth and change. (from worldbirds.com)
CONSERVATION & RESCUE
The Philippine Cockatoo (Cacatua haematuropygia), native to the Philippines; the Yellow-Crested Cockatoo (C. sulphurea), native to Indonesia; and the White Cockatoo (C. alba), native to Indonesia, have all been listed as an endangered or threatened species. And while the official status of the Glossy Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus lathami) is "Least Concern," the state of New South Wales in Australia states "Glossy Black-Cockatoos are one of the more threatened species of cockatoo in Australia and are listed as a vulnerable in New South Wales."
The plight of cockatoos bred in captivity is not much better. These birds often have severe psychological problems - which leads to horriboe behavior that drives their owners crazy. There are Cockatoo rescues around the world. If you are interested in learning more about what you can do to save these amazing birds, try contacting The Chloe Sancturary.
