Bach Flower Essences

Part of my practice includes the use of supportive elements such as Flower Essences. My personal preference is Perelandra flower essences, but that doesn’t mean one of the leaders in the industry, Bach, is no less effective or valuable to the user. It is because of this I wanted to share with you some information regarding Bach Flower Essences specifically. Each of us is unique and therefore needs to know that what works for one may or may not work for another. We each have the power of choice, and I’d like to empower you to choose which flower essence supplier is best for you.

Due to the popularity of Bach, Flower Essence Therapy is commonly known or referred to as Bach Flower Therapy (after its founder Dr. Edward Bach). The therapy involves the use of essences of 38 healing herbs to treat physical and mental ailments.

According to flower essence therapy philosophy, physical and mental illnesses are the result of energy imbalances in our body. These imbalances could be the result of trauma or emotional hurt, disassociation from our life purpose, emotional disconnect, etc.

Naturopathy and Self-Healing

Naturopathy is an alternative medicine system that believes in the healing power of nature. According to the naturopathy philosophy, our body has the capacity to heal itself of any disease if it is aided by the right natural elements. Naturopaths focus on educating people to make appropriate lifestyle changes to increase their body’s capacity to heal.

A Typical ND Visit
Similar to a visit with an MD, a visit to a naturopathic doctor begins and moves very similarly. A treatment typically begins with the ND (naturopathic doctor) taking down your physiological and psychological history as well as details about your lifestyle and diet. You may also be asked to undergo certain tests so the ND can examine your digestive process and figure out if you suffer from any nutritional deficiencies. The final diagnosis is made after taking into consideration your current spiritual, emotional as well as physical health.

Meditation

Once we become conscious of the world around us, we begin a struggle to come to peace with ourselves and the world, to come to terms with the mysterious and in large measure unknown universe. Sages and seers have uncovered the answers within themselves through meditation. Today the world is going back to this age-old technique for wholesome living.

So, what is meditation? In simple terms, meditation can be defined as a process to concentrate on the inner self. It is also a kind of a practice to come into some sort of communion with the almighty. The practice of meditation not only provides spiritual fulfillment, but it is also now widely believed to provide holistic healing to those who practice it at a psychological as well as a physiological level.

Healing Our DNA

DNA Healing (or Theta Programming, as it is popularly called) is a unique alternative therapy that is believed to aid in removing negative beliefs not just from our subconscious but also from our DNA. Our beliefs and behavior are the result of our conditioning. The things we grow up hearing, the attitudes of our parents, their beliefs and principles, the kinds of friends we make, the upbringing we have and more all help in shaping our conscious and subconscious beliefs about ourselves and life in general.

For instance, if you have grown up in a family where relationships were never given much importance, your view toward relationships would be similar. You may treat them as mere matters of convenience and might find it difficult to maintain long-term friendships or romantic relationships. Some of these attitudes become so deeply entrenched in our psyche that they become a part of our DNA; similarly, our parents’ deeply held beliefs and attitudes also get passed on to us.

Christmas is approaching ... a little to quickly I think

I can hardly believe it is the 15th of December already and Christmas is just 10 days away. I think I am done Christmas shopping; I say I think because until the morning I am never really sure if I am complete or not.

Today was a snow day here in Wilsonville. We got dumped with a whopping 2 inches of snow last night but the roads are covered in ice and the ODOT required chains on the major roadways on all vehicles. I thought about heading to Target to purchase a few last minutes items like lights for our tree and an anniversary card for my husband tomorrow but thought better about it and decided I'll wait until he comes home from work and we will all go together.

I have been thinking of a 'theme' for this week's focus of blog postings and I believe a little energy work would be perfect. For the next four days I will post information regarding Reiki. What it is, how it works, the benefits and a little bit of history. I had posted information regarding Reiki on July 22 but feel with the winter solstice fast approaching it would be great timing.

Until tomorrow ... have an amazing day, enjoy the snow and embrace your inner wisdom!

Namaste,
Karen
