Overcoming Heartbreak

Relationships are probably the most important parts of our lives. When the end it is as if our life has ended or everything in life is on hold. Emotions flood our everyday actions making it hard to even move around our daily lives, and intersecting with others we know and love and normally enjoy being around, feels heavy and burdensome.

Heartbreak is a strong time, and has the effect of taking hold and running our lives, sometimes for years. It is the blockage of emotions, or the hold they have on us that is hard to find a way through, or even see the way out.

My belief is not to run from the emotions, but work through them in a consistent, gentle manner to get us out the other side and into a normal life again. I have used flower essences to help clients through such times and find the true and glowing person that is underneath the negative emotions that have taken hold. The essences seem to act on each emotion, bringing them to light in a way that we can look at them, feel them and work through them, to then allow them to fade ready to work on the next. Many find it liberating to work through, in a way that feels like overcoming a steep grueling hill, to find the view at the top clear. Whilst the next hill may be in view, the current hill is now in the past. Each new hill may even be larger, but the exercise from previous hills gives us the ability to work through them one at a time.

I developed Heart Ease with care. It has flower essences that I know help through a process, not shying away, but overcoming what may be holding on to us. Heart Ease gives us comfort in times of lost love, and the room inside to work on ourselves and re-build the person we can become.

Overcoming Insomnia - Cures For Lack of Sleep

Lack of sleep is so common now. Yes it has been around for a long time, but now so many suffer from not sleeping, not sleeping well or waking up and not going back to sleep. Our lives have changed. there is less physical work in our workplaces, more demand on our time and more inputs that are fast and hard for our bodies and minds to assimilate - modern technology being the big one.

Sleep is crucial for good health. And this type of sleep for good health helps us live longer, no question. It is the body’s way of both going over the day - dreams and night time emotions while we sleep - and rejuvenating both chemically and physically to ready us for the new day. Lack of sleep leads to us showing negative emotions such as grumpiness, restlessness, lack of concentration and simply not being effective in the day. And of course this leads to conditions in our work, family and well-being going downhill. It so simple to think that tonight I will get a good sleep, and all will be well tomorrow, which is good if this is one night a year. If you are reading this, that is not happening for you, you are here for a solution.

Insomnia - lack of sleep or lack of good sleep - is a pattern. You do not need to go through life experiencing this. The drivers leading to insomnia can be varied and they can stack on top of each other making it hard for us to find or notice which drivers lead to bad sleeping patterns. Behavior can help considerably in this area. Resolving things with those around us, working through things constructively ourselves, taking time to be silent and quiet and breathe deeply before going to bed are some.

Flower essences have the ability to bring to light the drivers behind our negative patterns, allowing us to work through them. They help us resolve the underlying stresses that keep us from sleep providing longer term relief. When taking flower essences for sleep it is important to be consistent, making it a daily routine until things resolve for you. If there is a deeper trauma* or situation in your life that is keeping you from sleep an essence that focuses on life trauma or stress may be more important. The easy way to decide on this is; are you feeling overwhelmed and find it hard to cope during the day - look toward resolving the greater trauma or stress first, or are you restless at night more than the day - use a sleep essence or remedy.

Flower Essences For Stress

Stress is a common emotion in today’s society. With the world becoming faster and technology entering our consciousness much of the time, the human mind becomes overwhelmed and stressed.

Flower essences can help with stress in several ways, are simple to take and can slowly replace other negative behaviors that we turn to when we are stressed. The gentle, subtle action of flower essences works on our inner emotions. in stressful times I find the essence blends chosen to help with stress act quickly in comparison to other essence blends or flower remedies. The actions work on toning down our fight or flight feelings and responses and allows the mind and body to slow down and breathe.

There have been many times that I selected flowers to overcome strong stressful emotions to alleviate a situation as soon as possible and allow the mind and body reprieve over 24 hours, before moving to a selection that will help in the longer term.

The popular blends historically used to treat stressful or traumatic situations are Bach’s Rescue Remedy, and Ian White’s Emergency Essence. I find Bach’s Rescue Remedy more powerful with a clearer strength. Both are readily available online, and often in stores and chemists nearby.

De-Stress Blend -this is a selection of my favourite essences that I have used many times to help us through overwhelming times. I chose essences that i have used many times to help overcome feelings of anxiety, overwhelm and stress bought on by a fast paced life or an unexpected event in our lives.
