Simplicity in a Bottle

Bach Flower Remedies restore your emotional resilience, natural rhythm and harmony by supporting the whole person your deepest emotions and not the symptoms – A truly Holistic Approach.

These 38 Flower Remedies were developed by Dr Edward Bach in the 1930’s. Dr Bach believed that an individual’s emotional state plays an integral part in their dis-ease and prognosis, he realised early on in his medical career that treating the whole person was key and the way forward.

They work using the powerful yet subtle, energetic & vibrational properties of flowers & trees with our emotional state. For example you might choose 'Larch' if lacking in confidence, or 'Olive' to restore strength when feeling exhausted. Some of you may already be familiar with the world-famous 'Rescue Remedy' – offering a soothing and comforting effect in moments of crisis and emergency. Also perfect if feeling nervous before an interview or exam.

“So long as our Souls and Personalities are in Harmony all is
Joy & Peace, Happiness & Wealth”

Dr Edward Bach

"Treat the Person not the disease"

Tapping into Wellness couldn’t be simpler when using these Flower Remedies, Dr Bach was very clear on how to effectively identify which remedies are needed – “treat the person, not the disease”. Focus on the individual’s personality, their thoughts, feelings & moods. He spilt the 38 remedies into seven key emotional groups, it is helpful to explore not just the surface emotion but what motivation lies beneath as there can often be more than one remedy required.

Dr Bach believed we could all benefit from each of the 38 remedies at different times in our lives to keep us Balanced & in Harmony – with our true nature.

Below I outline the seven emotional groups and each of the 38 remedies for you to peruse and select. Simply consider how you have been currently feeling and be guided by the flowers. Please choose up to six and I will prepare and post your 21-day Personal Remedy.

If you require assistance then please reach out to book a personal consultation.

SEVEN EMOTIONAL GROUPS -
FEAR

A primal emotion that serves as a warning signal against real or perceived dangers or threats. We can experience fear in many different ways like a tightening & tension in our stomach, increased heart rate & breathing, anxiety headaches, insomnia, a rush of the stress hormone cortisol. When these reactions take hold it can prove exhausting to try and keep fear at arm’s length. While essential for survival, fear can be problematic when it's out of proportion to the situation or left unresolved, leaving us completely off kilter.

Dr Bach identified five remedies to help you face your fears:

"Face Your Fears"

ASPEN

Fear of unknown things - feeling apprehensive and uneasy, even terrified but without understanding the reason for this.
Positive quality – Allows us to turn and face our fears with reassurance

ROCK ROSE

Terror and fright to such a degree that we might feel frozen with fear or panic-stricken
Positive quality – Helps to restore us to calm

CHERRY PLUM

Fear of losing control, doing something irrational or harmful
Positive quality – Restores calm and reason, feeling safe and peaceful

Positive quality – Helps restore a balanced view of risk and confidence that loved ones are safe

DESPONDANCY & DESPAIR

Life can sometimes plunge us into some very dark times, the real heavy depths of despair. Just the idea of returning to a place of joy and hope seems out of the question. We lose our confidence, and in the process a piece of ourselves - no longer believing we can go on, feeling overwhelmed at the slightest setback or added responsibility, feelings of guilt and grief begin to engulf our every waking moment.

Finding a peaceful place, where you can begin to experience some comfort and healing is just one step away with the support of the following remedies.

Dr Bach identified eight remedies for finding Joy & Hope:

"Find Joy & Hope"

WILLOW

Positive quality – Finding optimism, more open and generous reaction to adversity

LONELINESS

We all feel lonely at times – it’s a natural human emotion. We're biologically wired for social contact, and loneliness is our signal that we need more. The definition: Loneliness is a perceived mismatch between the quality or quantity of social connections that a person has and what they would like to have. Everyone's experiences of loneliness is subjective and personal to each of us.

There are three in this group of remedies to choose from, if feeling lonely at the moment take a look and see which one resonates with you the most:

"Reach Out to Others"

HEATHER

UNCERTAINTY

Life can be unpredictable at times, throwing the unexpected into our pathways leaving us feeling doubtful and unable to trust our own judgement - sometimes leaving us dithering over the simplest of decisions as well as the really big stuff. These particular six remedies will enable you to reconnect with your intuition enabling you to stretch & grow towards your full potential.

Each of these six remedies will allow you to 'Know your own Mind' providing the resolve, encouragement and decisiveness needed for you to step forward:

INSUFFICIENT INTEREST IN PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES

When we are not living in the present moment, we are either in the past or daydreaming about our future. When in either of these states we give our power away. Being in either of these conditions can be considered a coping mechanism helping us to access our creative intuition, or avoid addressing the the current situation. Whether you are zoning out in front of the television, sleeping a great deal or over occupied with replaying conversations or situations over and over, again and again. What you are really doing is trying to escape from your current reality.

OVER-SENSITIVE TO INFLUENCES & IDEAS

I am reminded of a saying my grandmother always used 'Remember it's important that you learn to paddle your own canoe, to not be a sheep, don't follow the crowd'. As an only child, wanting desperately to fit in at school -

I didn't really get it!

Today, I still reflect on her words of wisdom.

Dr Bach phrased it in a similar way when he wrote about the importance of being 'captain of your own ship'. This is sometimes easier spoken about than practised. As life has a funny way of catching us off guard and we get caught up in the desire to meet expectations, to fit in and feel accepted by those around us, to not rock the boat- especially with our nearest & dearest and those we look up to . Following a pattern of these self sabotaging behaviours stops us living the life we deserve, stops us from truly connecting to our hopes & dreams, identifying with our real aspirations and soul's pathway.

Choose which of these four remedies will keep you safely 'paddling your own canoe':

"Stand Your Ground"

HOLLY

Strong feelings about others - hatred, envy, jealousy and suspicion and the desire to take revenge
Positive quality – To heal your wounded heart, finding forgiveness and unconditional love

AGRIMONY

Mental torture behind a cheerful face, when we are suffering inwardly.
Positive quality – Eases this inner torture and returns us to genuine happiness

WALNUT

Protection from change and unwanted influences that leave us feeling unsettled
Positive quality – Adapt to new circumstances, yet remain true to ourselves

CENTAURY

Naturally kind & gentle, eager to please - the inability to say 'no' often left feeling that others are taking advantage
Positive quality – Develop a quiet inner strength allowing you to set healthy boundaries

OVER-CARE FOR THE WELFARE OF OTHERS

When we believe in something so passionately or care for someone so deeply, it can blind us to the force of our sheer determination and tunnelled vision approach. In our desire to make things better for all, we lose our equilibrium and the benefits of a more balanced approach. Our own unmet needs become tangled up in the process and we are at risk of being too controlling, ultimately causing more harm than good.

The five remedies selected by Dr Bach for this group will help to soften & smooth our harshness and sharp edges from our wounded hearts. Opening up a doorway to a more mutual, easier and collaborative journey:

"Live & Let Live"
