Bach Remedies Online Study Group. Star of Bethlehem and Rock Rose.

When it comes to manifesting, the important thing to remember is that it is not our thoughts but our FEELINGS that ultimately connect us with our desires. If we are feeling optimistic, we instinctively recognize the opportunity in every situation. If we are feeling discouraged we can only manifest continued discouragement. While most of us recognize this truth, it is still often very difficult to raise our spirits in the face of harsh "reality". The mind cannot heal the heart! Bach Flower Essences, however, offer a means to balance the emotions and raise the spirits better than any sermon or drug. Here's how...

The key to using the essences effectively is to know what the 38 Remedies do and how to recognize the right one for your current situation.

Although I would be hard put to explain in scientific terms how the remedies achieve their results, I find it useful to think of them as being like tuning forks. When you are feeling "off-key" taking the appropriate essence gives you the proper "tone" to resonate with - and as a result the world around you changes and aligns with your new vibration. For example, if you are feeling lonely and take the proper essence, you not only find you are no longer obsessed with thoughts of isolation but then - without you having to do anything different - the phone starts ringing and invitations come pouring in! It's as if the essences are like magic potions - they change our inner light and then this changes what we see in our outer world.

Last week we discussed Star of Bethlehem - the essence to take when you've been stunned by some shocking news or event. Star of Bethlehem is to get you going again. To remember this essence I visualize the three kings following the star to Bethlehem - only in my vision one of them has fallen off his camel - shock! - and is seeing a whole swirl of stars about his head. The camel then gives him a gentle nudge (a kick start!) and like Star of Bethlehem, gets him up and moving. 

Today we shall consider Rock Rose the next ingredient in Bach's widely used Rescue Remedy, the five essence formula for all emergency situations:

Rock Rose is called for when a person is experiencing a sense of terror. Considering that the world around us is an out picturing of our own inner vibration, I wonder if the situation in the middle east could be helped if along with our prayers we were to each of us take Rock Rose? If we each of us could calm our own inner fears wouldn't it follow that mankind would cease to create - to out picture - terror? Maybe we should encourage churches to put a few drops of Rock Rose in the Communion wine!

To memorize the meaning of Rock Rose you can think of rocks raining down from the sky - a reign of terror! - but then see the rocks becoming rose petals - a soothing gentle blessing. Curiously, while researching the benefits of this flower and thinking of rocks and roses and rainfall, I read of an Indian healer who recommends Rock Rose essence for villages experiencing draught. He wrote of one village where thirty people in that town followed his advice to take Rock Rose. Within the month the town had had sufficient rainfall.

I have also heard of Rock Rose being useful when one has been terrorized on a lesser scale. If you  lose something or think you may have been robbed, take Rock Rose before the negative belief has a chance to set in. The missing item will be found or easily replaced.

All these experiences serve to remind us that this so called physical world is not a solid but a vibration. Once we totally get that we don't even need to take the flowers physically, we just need to vibrate on their feeling tone. So while it would be good if you could start building your own personal library of essences but if that is not possible do not despair. You can experience the benefits by simply intending to feel them if you can quiet your mind and focus on the essences for as little as 60 seconds through out your day.

Rock Rose taken regularly for a month will reduce conflict in your world because you simply won't be interested - you won't be vibrating on the terror wave length. 

What if they gave a war and nobody came?

Peace,

Rosada

Bach Flower Remedies Online Study Group. Rescue Remedy

For the next few weeks psychicsnotebook.blogspot.com is going to be focusing on the flower essences discovered by Dr. Edward Bach. I hope you'll follow along and participate in our study by trying the essences yourself and reporting your experiences here in the comments section.

 Flower essences are potions created by letting flowers soak in water under prescribed conditions that are believed to allow the water to become infused with the energy or essence of the flowers and which when then taken internally are said to have a healing effect.

Dr. Bach believed that illness and unfortunate conditions in life were primarily caused by some imbalance in the flow of the body's life force. He never intended his remedies to be therapeutic in the sense of primarily curing physical disease, but rather as an aid for overcoming the mental attitudes that then manifest the symptoms of the disease. He believed that by strengthening the mind and emotions, the physical symptoms would adjust by themselves. Thus his approach was not to focus on a disease, but on the character of the patient. For example, a high strung nervous type suffering from a cold would be prescribed a remedy for balancing an anxious nature where as a slow-moving sluggish sort suffering from the same cold would be given a different remedy entirely.

Dr. Bach found that he only needed 38 different flowers to address and balance - heal - every emotional and mental condition. The trick is to be able to recognize which emotion a person is experiencing and thus which remedy is called for. In this study course we are going to be discussing each of the essences and I am hoping in this way we will all gain more confidence in our abilities to self-diagnose and then to take advantage of these miraculous healers.

The good news is there is nothing chemical in the essences so irregardless of which one you try you won't cause any harm.

The first step to success with Bach Flowers is to become aware of all 38 essences. We're going to start by discussing Star of Bethlehem which is one of the key essences in Rescue Remedy, a "family" of five flower essences  that all work together to sooth emergency situations. Rescue Remedy is the most commonly known of the Bach Flower remedies and the one many of us carry in our purses to have handy in case there is some disruptive event where we need to change the channel quick!

Star of Bethlehem, for neutralizing shock:

Shock causes the life force energy flow to stop and freeze up. If you've ever caught an animal by surprise you know how they will immediately become still - and then run like the dickens! Likewise, when we are surprised our bodies at some level tend to instinctively freeze - but we don't always remember to start up again. This is why whenever a condition is not responding to the remedy prescribed it is well to take Star of Bethlehem, it might be just the thing to kick start the energy flow once more.

Star of Bethlehem is always appropriate when there has been an accident. If the shock is neutralized, bodily recuperation is accelerated to a great degree.

A mental shock can also create disruption in the flow. However, sometimes the effects of a mental shock don't manifest for sometime as in the case of the woman who received a harsh criticism in an email. She was upset of course, but she told herself she was over reacting. So rather than making phone calls or doing anything to deal with or dissolve the situation, she instead decided to ignored the incident and went about her day. An hour later she had a bad fall! She told me she felt the fall had literally been "an after shock."

 Sometimes the effects of a shock don't manifest for even longer periods, We could go along for months or even years and then have a nervous breakdown or a skin disruption or any one of a number of physical or mental ailments all relating back to some long forgotten jolt to our system we may not even have recognized when it first happened. Consider the common cold. If you ever find yourself with a sniffle, consider what happened about two days before. Most likely there was some incident, perhaps someone said or did something that left you feeling diminished, and now it's manifesting in illness. Take Star of Bethlehem right when it happens and the cold bugs will never get in.

I hope you'll call and let me know your own experiences with Rescue Remedy and particularly with Star of Bethlehem. Better yet, post them here so we can all learn together.

Next week,

Rock Rose,

From Rosie.

Venus Opposing Pluto + Mercury Conjunct Jupiter = The Shout Heard Round The World

If you agree that it pays to advertise, this upcoming weekend will give the perfect line up of planets for placing ads. Communications planet Mercury will be entering the sign Leo Thursday afternoon bringing you lots of colorful and dramatic ideas for how to present your pitch and then Friday night this planet that loves to spread the news will be catching up with expansive Jupiter, almost a guarantee your word will travel far and wide!

We have some not so joyful aspects coming into affect too this week so we may also be getting worrisome news. Venus in Cancer is opposing Pluto creating the "Ancestor's Curse" aspect. According to Chinese folklore it is important to remember and honor the ancestors (Venus in the family sign Cancer) least they become angered by neglect and send sickness and misfortune (Pluto). If you've had a chain of frustrating experiences lately, stubbed toes, broken plates, lost items etc., you've been experiencing the Ancestor's Curse and you don't have to believe in angry ancestors to be stung by it's effects! Whether we inherit its darkness from our past, our culture or through our parents, what we do have to do is recognize it's time to examine those old, old patterns at last, to seek out their source and give them necessary attention. It's only when you understand where your experience comes from that you can restore the creative flow and make a genuinely new beginning.

Here's the line up of planets this week. Use them to help you get out of whirl pools and back into the flow:

1) Monday July28 - Venus opposes Pluto: 

    *Spot hidden causes.

2) Friday August 1 - Mercury into Leo joins Jupiter:

   *Bring them to light.

3 )Friday August 1 - Mars squares Jupiter:

    *Recognize what we should do now.

4) Sunday August 3 - Moon into Scorpio joins Mars:

   *Do it!
