COMMENT OF THE MONTH - I have been prescribing Heart Support to clients who have suffered bereavement, and Ive found that it brings them great comfort. For example, after a lady lost her father, her Obsessive Compulsive Neurosis became aggravated. She had to spend many hours every night making sure that all the doors and windows were firmly locked. But after taking Heart Support for a few weeks, she said; I feel warm and secure now, and I check all the locks far less frequently. She also reported sleeping more soundly, which was a great relief to her family who had been very worried about her. Every time I witness such a miraculous transformation, I appreciate this magical potion from the nature. - Yoshiko Hidaka (Glasgow).

QUESTION OF THE MONTH - I'm looking forward to your new book being published in the spring. Would you mind telling me a little about its content? Does it overlap the information of the first book?

All the writing about the essences is upgraded and expanded, much clearer. Many of the chapters from the first book will be included, with some additions. In addition, the gem elixirs and elements will be expanded, and the Index at the back will also be updated to include all essences and some new categories. Plus, there are a few surprise chapters, so watch this space!

Flowers have come! To refresh and delight you, princes
You see them briefly as they dress themselves
Spread their petals, perfect only in spring
Countless golden flowers, yellow flowers
Sweet flowers, precious vanilla flowers
The crows dark magic flowers
Weave themselves together
They are your flowers God,
We only borrow them:
Your flowered drum,
Your bells,
Your song:
They are your flowers, God.

St. Valentine's Day recently passed and many of us may have been thinking about that big four-letter word; LOVE. In this article, I will be discussing the subject of Self-Love, which is not often discussed in our western culture. We often expect that love will come from outside instead of opening the doors within. So, how can we change this situation and begin to practise Self - Love in our daily lives? From my personal experience, it has something to do with the awareness of our true needs. If our true needs are neglected for long periods of time, it is easy to become bad tempered or even ill. In this instance, the child within turns off the inner source of joy and happiness (see Inner Child essence).

Self - Love starts with understanding the needs of our physical body. We must respect our bodies by nourishing them with naturally grown food, taking rest, and being aware of the energies that we pick up from books, films, music, news, etc. At times we may have to set limits in order to reduce the intake of negative elements and allow ourselves time to recharge our energy. Meditation and Yoga practices for example, can be great ways to still the mind and relax the body. Only after the needs of our body have been met can we begin to focus on nourishing our mind and spirit.

This is where the essences come in, as they are one of the best ways to achieve this. Clear Light (our special Combination on offer this month) can assist with attuning to a higher wisdom as it helps open up to inspiration and cultivates Self - Love, while Elf Cup Lichen (our essence on offer this month) helps to purify the emotional body. In addition, Eros essence can be used to nurture our physical, emotional and spiritual needs - and it now comes in a handy mist spray.  In summary, I believe we need to take personal responsibility for our wellbeing (see Healing the Cause), and the Findhorn essences are one of the best tools for this healing journey.

UPCOMING CONFERENCE CALLS - We held our first conference call last week on The Essentials of Flower Essences, which was a resounding success. We only had a few participants but this allowed Marion and Gilda to provide very personal advice to each individual. One of our callers commented; Before joining the conference, I was a little anxious and nervous as I could never imagine what the phone call conference would be like. Also I had assumed that there might be so many participants that I would not be given an opportunity to say something. Eventually, however, I found it really beneficial to talk about my issues in public, which did help build up my confidence. Our next conference call will cover the topic; Dealing with Stress (see details below), so if you are interested in participating please add Conference Call to your email subject line here. Once you have registered, we will email you with the full event details one week before the event.
