Self Love

We hear so much regarding self love and it can be very confusing, so what does self love mean?

“Regards for ones own wellbeing and wellness.”

I actually find that pretty damn powerful, and thought provoking!

Stop and really feel that meaning, ask yourself do you really have self love going on.

Looking at the words wellbeing “state of being comfortable healthy and happy” and wellness “state of good health”

We all view these words differently and at times feel the pressure that we have to live in these states to be happy. Sure looking after ourselves in the best possible way that works is awesome, we can eat wholesome food, exercise, meditate but if we find our inner critic is still being hard on us then no matter what you do in the physical world does not always sustain us. 

Wellbeing and Wellness is really about the “whole” mind, body and spirit.

Self love goes even deeper it is about that inner contentment, appreciation for self, realization that love lies within us, self-worth, acceptance of self.

When our inner critic keeps us from exploring our self-love and tells us to keep away from it and  all is good, look at how fabulous you are, you have everything under control keep going, you will be fine. Great! So we believe everything is fabulous! 

Then our inner critic starts again complaining how you lack self worth, or not content, you get the story. So we might be taking care of some parts of our wellbeing and wellness!

How do we keep our inner critic quiet! and play games with us, so we can focus on our inner self love.

To be honest it takes a lot of practice and awareness of what is being said as we tend to become immune of the critic and stay in the story and allow the story to get bigger and bigger. How crazy is that!

Something that I find powerful is to actually ask the inner critic to stop and say thank you, but not now, thank you. This is when the self awareness becomes powerful, knowing when you are  listening to a story and being able to put a stop to it, but knowing it is totally ok to say stop. You have the power to change your inner critics story and becomes friends with it!

Remember thoughts create feelings which then leads to belief.

When a thought / feeling pops up sit with it allow it to be present explore it talk to it, be the observer, don’t chuck it down deep as it will keep bubbling away, so that self love stays away. This is an on going practice that takes patience, like going to the gym to become fit and strong you have to train regularly, same as self awareness. Being present allows us to become the master of our thoughts.

Flower essence helps support these feelings and allows you to work through what has been presented around self love.

Embrace is a blend of 5 flowers that support everything we need to nurture our self love from appreciation to create happiness to the beauty from our souls. To inspire self esteem and acceptance without blame. The eternal springs of love to the first and most important opinion is the one you have about yourself. Purchase Here

Exploring self love can be painful at times and can take time, being gentle with yourself through this process is the key.

Flower Essences V Essential Oils

Flower Essence

As a flower essence practitioner, I have seen hundreds of people journey through challenging life situations, supported by flower essence remedies. Flowers attract energy to them—the secret behind the forms, colours, scents and consciousness that they manifest.

As humans, we have a love affair with flowers dating back centuries. Flowers are placed on graves, and they help with many rites of passage, including marriages, births, celebrations, sickness, and death. Can you imagine a world without flowers?

 

When we feel ungrounded or sad, we generally head to nature or buy flowers to help heal that part of us that needs some natural nurturing. Nature holds a potent energy/vibration that most folk can’t see or feel, but on a subconscious level, we know this. It is natural to want to hang out in nature.

 

So, all flowers hold healing properties, and flower essences differ from essential oils in their production. Essential oils are incredibly potent and aromatic compounds. Flower essences are subtle, as they are the vibrations used when processing the flower to make them. Flower Essences do not smell like the flower they represent.

This means that the vibration from the flower works with your subtle body or energy body and helps to unravel the blockages that are preventing you from moving forward.

 

Flower Essences are produced very differently from their cousins. There are several ways that flower essences are made. One way is by using a particular blossom of a flower and allowing it to soak in water over a certain period, which allows the vibration from that flower to penetrate the water, which is then strained and preserved into flower essence mother stock.

 

You might be thinking flowers are vibrations! We are all made of energy, and so, too, is our kingdom of nature. The flower you resonate with or are drawn to will have the vibration you need to work with.

 

Experiment: find a flower in nature, your garden, that you are drawn to and allow yourself to sit with this flower, placing your hands just over it so the vibration from the flower is felt in your hand. ( If you can’t feel anything, that is fine )

Bring a situation forward that perhaps you want to work through, tune into your feelings and notice what has come up “for you”. You might feel calm, happy, sad, annoyed, angry. The healing process of the flower that you are experiencing. Allow yourself to sit quietly and let the process unravel.

 

Do I prefer one over the other? Sometimes, yes, I do. Flower essences are my first preference when working with emotional issues. For any physical problems, essential oils are my first preference. Then, I will work together with both essential oils and flower essences. So, they both play a vital part in wellness. Purchase Here

 

 

Essential Oils

I often wonder how Essential Oils have become such a big advocate of Natural Wellness and Health.

 

You will see it everywhere you look on social media: people talking about them, using them daily, and sharing their incredible journey with Essential Oils. Essential oils have been around for centuries and are used as natural medicine.

It is not just something that smells nice; hey, that smell plays an integral part in wellness using essential oils.

Aromas have a substantial psychological influence on us. Historically, a sense of smell was one of the most potent constituents of behaviour and survival. Unfortunately, our acute sense of smell seems to have taken a back seat in today’s world. Our vision and hearing senses are at the forefront, while our sense of smell is the most subtle means of communication.

 

When a baby is born, it first inhales the different aromas in the air. It uses its sense of smell to recognise its mumma and form that bond and security.

 

When we walk in nature, we stimulate our vision with pleasant scenery, feel the air and sunlight on our skin, and, at a subconscious level, swim in all kinds of aromas.

 

The subtle sense of flowers, leaves, earth, and bush quietly communicates with us. The Olfactory System plays a big part in Essential Oils. This is connected to the Limbic System, a group of limbic brain structures involved in the sense of smell, which triggers memories and influences our emotions. The limbic system also works with the body’s nervous, respiratory, circulatory, and immune systems.

Essential oils can be absorbed through the skin, the body’s largest organ. They penetrate the pores and hair follicles, areabsorbed by the capillaries, and eventually reach the bloodstream. Once the essential oil has circulated throughout the body and done its job, it will be expelled from the body.

There are several techniques for extracting essential oils from a plant, including steam distillation, cold pressing, and solvent extraction; each method produces a different product.

Steam and cold press are the most common forms of extraction. In these, the plant material is placed on screens and streamed, often superheated at high pressures that pass through the material. This draws out the volatile components. 

Essential oils are very volatile and potent due to the chemical components in each essential oil, so they need to be handled with care. They carry contraindications, meaning some vital oils might interfere with specific medication.

 

Essential oils are generally recommended for external use, meaning they are applied to parts of the body or aromatically and diffuse the oil, sending particles into the environment we breathe in. Then, the olfactory system kicks in and does its job.

Essential oils help target parts of the body and play a crucial role in helping with emotions. I will also say that some oils help with the spiritual connection.

 

 

Flower essences have been used for centuries as natural remedies to support emotional well-being derived from the energy of plants; flower essences work by addressing imbalances in mind and emotions rather than treating physical symptoms directly, but in saying that flower essences will also work with physical symptoms.

When we think about how flower essences work, we must understand that they are based on the principle that emotional and psychological imbalances can impact our overall health.

We address these underlying issues using flower essences and promote balance and harmony within ourselves.

The process of making flower essences involves infusing the energy of a flower into water through exposure to sunlight or boiling. This potentised water is then preserved with alcohol to create the essence. Each flower has unique energy and healing properties, and by taking the corresponding essence, we absorb these qualities and restore balance within ourselves.

Many people use flower essences to address feelings of stress, anxiety, sadness, and other emotional challenges. Rather than suppressing or avoiding these emotions, flower essences help us confront and healthily work through them. One of the key aspects of how flower essences work is their subtle yet powerful nature. Unlike conventional medicine, flower essences work primarily on the energetic and vibrational levels of our being rather than on the physical body; this makes them a gentle yet effective option for those seeking emotional support and balance.

While the scientific evidence for the efficacy of flower essences is limited, many people report positive experiences with their use. Whether promoting a sense of calm, helping to release emotional blockages, or supporting personal growth, flower essences remain popular for those looking to harmonise their emotional well-being. In conclusion, the exact mechanisms of how flower essences work may not be fully understood, but many people find them valuable tools for supporting their emotional health.

Whether complementing other therapies or as a standalone treatment, flower essences offer a natural and holistic approach to achieving emotional balance and well-being.
