Transition

Everyone who I talk to these days, whether it's a client or a friend, is in transition and change. People are physically moving to new locations or states, leaving jobs and careers for new experiences, and deciding to change to a whole new way of thinking and living. I'm sure if my forte was astrology, I could explain this experience based on the planetary shifts and changes, but I can only address this with first hand observation.

One thing is for certain, change can send you whirling out of control, even when you know that the change is for the good. When a client or friend calls me, they usually want to know what flower essence I would recommend for them. Right now, I would suggest the Australian Bush Flower Essence called.....yup....Transition. Originally, this flower essence was used to ease the fear of death, and assist one to gently pass over with a sense of serenity, but it
can also be used by anyone who is going through major changes. This combination flower essence is made up of Autumn Leaves, an essence that allows one to be open to guidance and communication from the other side; Bauhinia, an essence for open-mindedness and acceptance of change; Bottlebrush, an essence for letting go and adjusting to change; Bush Iris, an essence that helps release the fear of death and Lichen, an essence that helps one to be aware of and look to the light.

Along with the Transition flower essence, I recommend getting at least 20 to 30 minutes of sunlight on the top of your head. Stress can be immobilizing and have a direct affect on structural and endocrine activity, particularly those glands that are light sensitive such as the pituitary and pineal glands. Often, darkness equates with tension, fear or pain. How often have you heard yourself say, "I'm in the dark about what I should do?" Take some time for yourself to enjoy the sunlight and know that your whole body will benefit. Turn on the light!

 

 

For the past 19 years I have expressed a fascination with the themes that develop on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis with the clients who I work with as a specialized kinesiologist. I've said all this time that I should really keep track of them. And...I never did. Well, I've decide that the time is now (!) to follow the interesting story that develops with the people who are willing to share their problems, their desperations and their soul to me.

I must first tell you that the theme for the past year has centered around the concept of prison - feeling a prisoner in our mind and body. It has been a step by step process starting with the awareness that the prison exists (and has been for some time) and then being willing to step out towards freedom. That part has proven to be scary. Freedom is a great concept but if you haven't experienced it before, you have no parameters that feel safe.

That puts us to the theme of this week: Enmeshment. Think about throwing all of your silver and gold necklaces in a bag and packing for a vacation. When you open the jewelry bag you find the necklaces intertwined and knotted. It's hard to untangle them without a lot of frustration. This is what enmeshment looks and feels like. It's hard to know what is yours and what is theirs, from emotions to thoughts to fears and beliefs.

The flower essence that supports one through this issue of co-dependence and

Monga Waratah flower

enmeshment is an Australian Bush Flower Essence called Monga Waratah. The positive energy of this flower is about strengthening of one's will and reclaiming one's spirit. In the process, one is able to find the strength to leave a situation or relationship that is stifling or dis-empowering. The standard procedure for the flower essence is 7 drops, twice a day for two weeks. I do, however, muscle test each client to determine what is best for their body.

So, check in with yourself. Is there a situation or relationship that needs to be resolved? Do you need to free yourself from a thought, belief, fear, person, situation that is holding you back from the freedom that you would like to experience? Awareness is the first step towards any change.
