Clematis flower essence for ADD/ADHD

What is ADD/ADHD? That is a question with many different answers. We will focus on the how the flower essence of Clematis can help people with this common condition.


CLEMATIS

• Lack of interest in present
• Daydreaming/zoning out
• Difficulty paying attention
• Poor memory

This is a brief list of the 'symptoms' of ADD/ADHD, one can find nuances to this list as well. We are told it is a chemical imbalance in the brain that is the cause. Could be true might not be true. The truth of the official story is not in question, nor is the label ADD/ADHD. We will look at it as a way to describe behavior and not let the label limit or define us.

One of the great lessons we can take from the work of Dr. Bach is to look at what is going on, the symptoms in the behavior and emotions related to the situation. Bach was less interested in disease than in his patients reaction to his disease and how it made him/her feel.

Lets take this approach to ADD/ADHD and see what Clematis flower essence can tell us.

Symptoms Clematis Treats:

• Dreaminess, not fully awake
• Drowsy; listless
• Far away; stuck in thought
• Half hearing what is said

If you suffer from any of these symptoms Clematis flower essence might be of use in helping you to stay present and engaged in the world and your work.

Walnut Flower Essence; an essence for the changing times.

Walnut is a prime essence for the changing times we are in and for times when are life is going through massive changes.

Walnut Flower Essence is Useful When We:

• are in the midst of a major life change
• just moved to a new house, school or changed jobs
  
• want to break the spell of the past
• want to develop independence from past influences
• are embarking on a new path in life
• need to feel more comfortable with change
  

The walnut ‘mother’ tree secretes a chemical from its roots which prevents the growth of other walnuts from taking root near it. The walnut is encased in a pericap which protects the nut inside when it drops from the tree. The sponge like pericap allows the nut to bounce and roll from the mother. In a sense the baby walnut is free to follow its own journey and grow independently from its mother to stand alone.

This signature of walnut tells us much about how the essences helps us to free our minds from the past and move forward with confidence. The walnut has two halves and the distinct folds and crevices resemble the human brain. This essence helps us make big changes in our conscious mind which can lead us forward as we grow and change. This psychological independence is necessary for our growth as we develop into our true selves.

Dr. Bachs life is a prime example of the positive walnut state. He left behind London, a lucrative medical practice and a world that was familiar to him to pursue something new. His freedom of mind and spirit led to a new paradigm of healing. This new paradigm of treating the personality is revolutionary in its approach and effectiveness. In the spirit of walnut, may we all be free to pursue our destiny and fulfill our purpose.

Many new changes after a long absence

For anyone reading this blog it is evident that I have not posted any new content in 10 months.
This does not mean I have not been active and is no reflection of my commitment to flower essences and spreading the word about them. This year has quite possibly been my biggest year so far with flower essences.

One amazing unfolding for me this year has been the co-creation of a new set of remedies from Mt. Shasta. The above image is of monkshood brewing in the sun, the glass is perched on rock above a glorious pool of water fed by a spring. The whole area where this and 12 other essences were created brim and bubble over with so much exquisite magic. This new line of essences will be unveiled soon under the banner Elemental Garden Remedies.

Another big change for me and my mission to expand the use and understanding of flower essences is a brand new website. Please visit www.essencealchemy.com to see all the great changes. This site will be a work in progress as there is always more information to share.
