How do you choose a Bach Flower Remedy?

It depends if it is for me or for another person. If I am taking a remedy for myself it usually appears as an idea, almost spontaneously. It is like listening or watching what is happening. Other times I might feel I need a remedy and open the box and see which of them attracts my attention as being appropriate to how I feel. Of course it depends upon being aware of what I am feeling!

If I have a client then it is a little different but the process of watching and listening is the same. I wait for the person to tell me what they need rather than guess at it or impose my own ideas. I know the 38 remedies well enough to recognise them when the client describes their situation. It is important for me to know what each remedy state feels like. If I have experience of the emotional state then I can recognise it in others – I feel the way that they feel.

Healing Herbs tea break!

 

At last a bit of warmth and sunshine. Not remedy making weather but nice enough to sit outside.

And the great news today is that a swarm of bees arrived, so with any luck there will be some honey later in the year.

 

Rock Rose

Rock Rose is flowering in the courtyard at Healing Herbs: it must be summer. The bees just love this flower scrambling through the stamens to get at the nectar. The small bees weigh a fraction of a gram but are heavy enough to pull the flowers over on their slender stalks.
