Protection Essences

Let's explore "Protection Essences" and how they help to insulate, shield and protect our energy bodies. We live in a multi dimensional universe, teeming with unseen energies some are supportive and some not. These energies may come from another person, electronic devices or from within ourselves as voices of the past or from less than supportive parts of our psyche. This post will explore essence to help you maintain a positive outlook on life. Maintaining positive energy and feeling safe can go a long way in helping your overall sense of well being. It is a key in the pursuit of health, well being and personal fulfillment. Seems perfect for today Friday the 13th and all its superstitions.


Walnut
I feel this Bach remedy is the #1 go to remedy when you are making a break from the past. This essence is beneficial during times of change and transition that mark progress in a new direction. Examples include moving, changing careers or ending a relationship. These are some of the more obvious examples. On a very keen and subtle level Walnut insulates and protects us from outside influence so that we can proceed in our direction of choice. Meaning you've decided to move forward, yet there are many things from the past that are still influencing you. Walnut flower essence helps to break the "spell of the past" so you can proceed forward with greater ease, confidence and assurance.

Yarrow
This essence is the number one go to essence to enhance the integrity of the auric field. Our aura is like a shield which protects us from unwanted energetic influences. By strengthening the auric field we become less susceptible to negative influences. This is vital because negative influences rob us of life vitality. Use this essence when you want to protect yourself from energetic vampires, negative/pessimistic people and from areas you feel are toxic to the psyche. This is also useful when we are in environments with a high level of e-smog, from electronic devices. This essence is made by FES.



Angelica
This essence offers us Angelic support, as its name suggests. Angelica has a very distinct action and is useful in times of upheaval, stress and major change. This essence seals our energy field in a softening and protective blue light. Angelica is a very soothing, comforting essence, great for children who feel vulnerable and unsafe. This essence is made by FES.


Garlic
This essence acts as a repellent against outside influences. Garlic sets up a vibration in the energy field that is not appealing to parasitic and adverse influences. Historically it was used to ward off evil influences and the essence works in the same way. To vibrationally repel parasitic, vampiric and other influences that drain us energetically. This essence is made by FES.


Mountain Pennyroyal
This essence helps repel negative thought forms as well as protect you from negative thought forms you may have already absorbed. It enhances strength and clarity of thought and encourages a positive mental attitude. This essence is made by FES.

Closing Thoughts
These remedies can play an important role in the treatment process and in everyday life. Your mental integrity and positive outlook go a long way to creating what is termed 'reality'. If you are in a cycle of positive energy and flow this energy into your life, you will find life responds accordingly. The basic foundation of life is vibration and managing your vibration is key to health and healing. I believe in the power of these remedies and the power of positivity in helping you achieve improved health and well being.

Before I go I want to mention one last essence.

Ti Plant
This is a really unique essence and its latin name is a clue to the action of this essence. The latin name for the Ti plant is cordeyline terminalis. This essence is an important cord cutter, not only does it cut cords but it carries a huge amount of light into the system. Its white light potential is almost blinding. Ti plant was used by the native people of Hawaii to break hexes. I have a tag line for this essence: "Clears the Path to Power" the power referred to here is personal power in your own life. This essence is a gift and carries huge potential for use in a variety of situations. This essence is made by Elemental Garden Remedies.

My heartfelt wish is for you to all live a happy healthy life and share you goodwill with all.

Essences for people with ADD and ADHD with Bach Flower Remedies Part 1

Using Bach Flower Remedies for focus, concentration and learning.

Chestnut Bud

If you suffer from or know someone suffering from the symptoms related to ADD/ADHD there are many options available to help you live a better life. It is important to review diet especially the intake of caffeine, refined sugars, gluten and processed foods. These substances should be greatly reduced as they affect the ability to concentrate and focus. Since this blog is about flower remedies I have made a list of Bach Remedies that support focus and concentration. I have also included 3 remedies from FES. This is a partial list and a good starting point to build on.

Chestnut Bud: This is a powerful remedy is useful for learning especially when the person makes the same mistakes repeatedly but fails to learn from them. Chestnut bud is good for all types of learning disabilities. This premier Bach remedy for learning is also good for concentration and attention.

Clematis: This essence is for the dreamer; the person whose head always seems to be in the clouds. Clematis can help one be present, focused and attentive to the task at hand. This remedy is good for people who drift off, whether from lack of interest or mental laziness.

Gentian: This essence helps to bring confidence to a person after a setback; gentian enhances perseverance, confidence and faith. Oh how school has become a competitive environment and the drive for perfection a near pathology. Thank goodness for the support of gentian. The fact of life is there are setbacks but they don't need to stop you in your tracks. 

Gorse: This is a powerful remedy for treating pessimism and a complete sense of hopelessness. People suffering in this state see no point in trying because they lack faith in a positive resolution to their challenge. This remedy builds optimism by supporting a sunnier outlook on life.

Hornbeam: This essence is useful for the ‘Monday Morning’ feeling that kids may experience as they dread going to school. It is helpful for staving off procrastination, it helps one to organize better and gather inspiration.

Larch: This essence helps with confidence; good for students who are shy, timid or don’t feel confident enough to embrace their school work. Larch is very useful when beginning to study a new topic or learning a new language or instrument; it helps one to make an effort and ’stay the course’.

White Chestnut: This essence is helpful for calming an overactive mind that is characterized by mental chatter. Those needing this remedy are stuck in their heads along with repetitive thoughts that just race incessantly.

Wild Rose: This essence helps the student to overcome apathy and take a renewed enthusiastic approach to school work. This essence can be extremely helpful for those in the learning environment. Wild rose has tremendous potential to really activate the will and encourage tenacity. The benefits of these qualities can go a long way to enhancing performance and renewing interest.

Peppermint: This flower essence is for mental clarity helping to bring wakeful clarity to a dull, sluggish or lethargic mind. This essence is also good for an unbalanced metabolism which depletes mental forces and hinders focus.

Rosemary: This essence helps the soul to more fully incarnate. Rosemary renews the forces of incarnation, helping one to feel secure in their bodies and in the world. Rosemary is useful for forgetfulness and enhancing vitality, it helps to make one more alert and grounded.

 

Shasta Daisy: This essence is helpful for what is called holistic thinking or consciousness. It helps one to see information as a whole rather than in bits and pieces. It helps one synthesize ideas with greater clarity and get a grasp on information.

Part 2 I will present a list of possible combinations to address the challenges of ADD/ADHD.

Easy Self Treatment with Flower Essences

Flower essences are amazing tools to assist with personal development and knowing how to use them can greatly enhance your experience. A simple method for getting the most out of flower essences in a therapeutic way when choosing self treatment is to focus on one area at a time. Since most people turn to essences in a time of crisis, it is suggested to start with strengthening essences.

The key here is to use them for grounded perspective so you can easily work with the situation at hand. Some strengthening essences are borage, mimulus, larch, mountain pride, california fuschi, yarrow, st. john's wort, walnut, pine, sunflower and red cedar.

It is also recommended to add some catalysing essence to help move energy. Some catalysts include horseradish, cayenne, habanero and goldenseal. These essences can help move stuck energy and 'psychic debris' from the mind and emotions. This benefits the whole strengthening process and it is easier to catalyse movement when feeling strong.

Another nice group of essences to include in the initial strengthening process are softening/soothing essences. The benefits of strength and softness are like a balm to the soul and healing process. Some essences that are useful with soothing and uplifting the spirit include star jasmine, white chestnut, impatiens, marshmallow, cherry plum, angelica and elderberry.

Self treatment is a great introduction to flower essences as it gets you familiar with the flower essence healing process. I suggest starting with a few essences at first use them consistently until the bottle is done. For a more in depth experience choosing a personal consultation with someone familiar with flower essences.

Spring Time Mallow

The mallow family of plants is quite large and graces the springtime with soft colored blooms. Their flowers have been explored as flower essences by a few companies mainly FES and Delta Gardens. There is a softness to the plant which translates to its healing qualities as a flower essence. The softness is also evident in the marshmallow candy, originally made from the root of the marshmallow plant.

David Dalton of Delta Gardens offers a flower essence of marshmallow which encapsulates the softness, it is indicated for a hardening of the emotional body. A marsh is a watery place and the element of water is associated with the emotions. The delicate looking flower is white with a purple center. Its main indication is for helping us to soften our feeling around other people particularly those that we do not like. The essence also helps us to get in touch with the love vibration when feeling hurt or angry.

The mallow essence FES offers has some interesting cross pollination in terms of effects on the personality as the Delta Gardens essence. The FES mallow (sidalcea glauscens) is indicated for those that feel socially insecure, they create boundaries and fear reaching out to others. This dovetails nicely with Delta Gardens mallow which helps to soften to those that we do not like.

They both work at clearing the harder feelings around socializing and relationships with other. They are both working with the second chakra in its relationship to the heart chakra helping to unite the two in greater harmony. This is a powerful and important function that can assist soul growth on many levels, bringing the gentleness and warmth of the heart into our social sphere.

A key component to the vital function of many electronic devices because of their ability to hold and transmit electrical vibrations. By working on a vibrational level they are also able to interact with humans and the human electrical system.

They are also charged with essential oils and flower essences, here is a quote from a customer in Brazil: "These amulets are an extraordinary compliment to vibrational medicine. It is like the feeling of having living support with you all the time."
