Dear Yogis,

What a lovely weekend it has been.  I tied up my broad-beans, tidied,  weeded, prepared the ground for seeds, but didn’t plant out the Kale… a job for another day – hopefully when the sun comes out.

I have in mind (after looking at the garden with a herbalists eyes), that I will plant and identify as many BACH flowers, herbs and trees as I can manage.  I don’t have many to collect actually to complete the set.  However, some (like The Star of Bethlehem) won’t be available until Autumn next as they are bulbs… luckily I do have some original essence, so I can manage until then.  I do like making my own – outside of Bach’s repertoire, from plants he could not access.   This weekend I made Valerian, Wild Rose, and two of my own (not a Bach Remedies) Wisteria and  Rhubarb Flower.  Essences made for the client and gathered from my own garden are so much more powerful than an essence that has been gathered and bottled on the other side of the world.

THE YOGA OF HERBS.

You may not have given it any thought, but Ayurveda is the science of life.  Evolution is a manifestation of latent potentials.  In the seed is the tree, and in the tree is the forest. The plant kingdom exists to bring feeling into manifestation – each thing exists to nourish all others.

Flower essences are tinctures of liquid consciousness, and stored within them is an evolutionary force.  They offer us the love and light from the stars.  Easier to understand if you have read Emoto’s work on the “Messages of Water” (a hugely magnified photograph of a happy molecule of water to the right).   This liquid consciousness can be considered educational for the psycho-spiritual dynamics of an individual. Dr.Bach was not the first to discover this.  Yogis and Ayurvedic practitioners had realised and documented these energies hundred of years before he did, however, Bach (born in 1886) put the remedies and the ideas about the remedies, energies, emotions and moods into a language the ordinary person could understand.

Working with these vibrations offers one an opportunity to shift one’s beliefs, conceptions, ideas of science and long-term patterns to a place of greater awareness and understanding. As Dr.Bach realised, these products offer much more than the temporary relief of some emotional state or physical difficulty. They are contributing to a change in a soul’s life pattern and consciousness. This goes far beyond the cessation of some symptoms within one incarnation. When one looks deeply enough one realizes that it is only to increase consciousness that we incarnate in a body, moving through various physical, emotional, mental, spiritual difficulties to attain some self-awareness.

Flower essences adjust the flow of consciousness and karma that create the disease state. They influence the subtle bodies and ethereal properties of the anatomy and then gradually influence the physical body.

These are a safe, sometimes subtle form of therapy that before one even realizes what is occurring, positive change has happened. Long term difficult patterns can be shifted in days or months. Tremendous self-awareness occurs with an increase in the intuitive and or psychic part of oneself. These products work whether one is a believer or not. They have been very efffective with animals and plants. If one truly wants change, more satisfaction from life and enhanced wisdom these can benefit you greatly.

WISTERIA… Wisteria sinensis. Trust, fulfilment and enjoyment of sexuality, and allowing warm sensuous feelings in the body. This essence is particularly useful for women who feel uncomfortable about their sexuality and suffer from fear arising from sexual abuse.

My Flower Essences are gathered from Flowers, plants and trees in my garden or within a short walk along the creek or into the forest.  Obviously they are organic, and steeped in rain water using the solar method of flower infusion. A tiny drop of Alcohol or Colloidal silver is used as a preservative.

RHUBARB…Isn’t this wonderful flower – and the seed stalks in my garden can reach up taller than me. It goes without saying that I have been waiting for this flower, and it speaks to me.   For me it has always been about BALANCE, and this is the perfect essence at this time.  With Rhubarb there is a greater coordination between the left and right brain hemispheres, creating a greater harmony of thought by balancing the analytical and the intuitive aspects. Plus, Rhubarb works on The heart chakra which is opened on a deep level, so one can understand love on more than just a physical level, perhaps even on a multi-dimensional level.

This essence can enhance brain function and allow people to get to the centre of any problem.  Focussing on this essence  can allow a greater ability for people to release emotions of grief and sadness – which are really swirling around for so many of us at this time.

I hope you are getting out in your back yard, and speaking to the spirits of the garden.

Dear Yogis,

The perfect weather for study.  Wet, very windy, cold and grey.  I have been studying and I hope you have been catching up with your modules, it is the perfect opportunity.  Whilst you have been doing fabulously domestic things, I have been completing a couple of courses I started in the beginning of covid – The Bach Flower Remedies Certificate and the Bach Flower Remedies Advanced Diploma Course recognised by the (IPHM),   AND I FINISHED THEM AND DID THE EXAM, and I passed with distinction.  I just sat at the computer until they were done, and I have to say this is the only way that I can do it.  I am now an Approved Training Provider of the Bach Flower Therapies.  A perfect complement to Compassionate Companions Project, which exactly what the herbs are.

During covid I have even started turning my garden into a BACH REMEDY GARDEN.  I won’t be able to grow some of the remedy herbs, but I have a lot even now – and I make other remedies for my clients using Australian plants.  You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars, you just need knowledge and experience, both of which are available.

Edward Bach who discovered and isolated these 38 energetic essences was a doctor who worked very successfully in Harley Street, London. He wanted a healing system suitable for every one of us to be able to do, and we can. He left the success he had on Harley street, and went to Wales where he spent the last years of his life discovering the essences.

These essences do not cure neither do they heal but like yoga, they influence the energies, the moods and emotions.  Once we bring someone into a balanced state of being, they feel happy, and health happens.

I have been having a wonderful time over covid, out and about collecting specimens, herbs, and making them into Bach therapies the way that Edward Bach directed.  This is medicine for everyone. They are especially useful for treating animals.  They can do no harm.

Now that I have completed and am a qualified Training Provider I can invite you to join me. You can work with your family, children, your fur babies and community… If you have contemplated being a herbalist but it is too complex and too long, or a homeopath but the same time frame and cost applies, then maybe becoming a BACH THERAPIST would be the way to go.  I am finalising an easy, short, economical course so that you can not only save money, you can provide health giving solutions, and you can do it with me complete with zoom sessions and a payment plan as usual.

I have been able to offer Bach Therapies for quite a few years now, and I offer them again to you.  I am also making up the remedies so that you can use them for yourself and your children at home.  They were a lifeline for me when I was at home with my children when they were young.  They provided a way of bypassing illness by recognising changes before they became disturbing.

I am putting these remedies on www.ccpproject.com.  everything Bach, including training.

THIS WEEKS SCHEDULE.
TODAY (FRIDAY) Studio Yoga 5.30pm and Zoom FREE tarot class at 6.45 

SEE YOU ON THE MAT, ON ZOOM OR IN THE GARDEN

NAMASTE.  JAHNE

 

 

 

Dear Yogis,

My life is changing, has changed and I am pretty sure your life is too.  It seems we are really going through the “quickening”.  Some of you would have felt it, some not.

For many years now I have relied on Bach Flower Remedies.  I respond well to them as do my clients.  I make my own from the herbs and trees forest and beside the creeks and nature reserves around the Macedon Ranges.  I can’t make all of the remedies, but most of them (based on the herbs and trees available to me), and I feel sure that they work faster and better because they are growing where we are.  We share the energies.  I can make them up, and give them to a client and the energies of origin match.

I am calling them “COMPASSIONATE COMPANION REMEDIES” (www.ccpproject.com) because they work on emotions and moods.  I will be writing them up on the CCP website. I will also be selling the remedies on the site for $25 including standard postage.

Edward Bach who was the originator of the remedies, started his professional life as a highly paid, well respected Harley Street Specialist in London.    When he sold his equipment and practice, moved to Wales to work on his herbal remedies, one of the drivers was to present a set of remedies that could be used by anyone, and would not be expensive.  In fact he rarely charged for his therapies.  You would not need any special skill to follow his lead, just the need to serve.

If you would like to work with these remedies and would enjoy a consultation with me, I charge for the time ($55 for half an hour or part thereof – zoom or studio), but I do not charge for the remedies.  You get them as part of your consultation.  I include pendulum work and sometimes Tarot to help us with the remedies.

If you are zooming I can send the remedy free via Australia post.  If you pay an extra $5 for express post you will actually have a chance of getting your remedy in a reasonable time – standard post is VERY slow especially with Christmas looming.  However, you could come to the studio for your appointment, and you could pick up your remedy at the same time – I will be only taking a short break over Christmas.  To make an appointment email me yogafirst2@bigpond.com.

SCHEDULE
Wednesday: Yoga in the Studio 5.30  Friday 5.30 Yoga in the Studio, 6.45 Free Tarot class.

I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU IN CLASS OR ON ZOOM – OR MAYBE TO PLAY WITH BACH REMEDIES.

NAMASTE.  JAHNE
