For clearing and cleansing. Useful when there is a blockage, an invading organism or long-standing condition that you wish to break up and release. I use it alot when i'm sick with the flu. Cleansing. Tomato Essence is helpful when infection or disease have become seated in the body. It is particularly useful when the endocrine system is involved. This essence both stabilizes the areas of imbalance and assists the body in shattering and throwing off that which is causing the infection or disease. We use the word “shattering” deliberately, because the Tomato Essence does indeed respond swiftly in the body and in a manner that appears to be, or may even feel, shattering. If the immune system has been weakened by the situation, one may need to take Celery Essence in combination with Tomato Essence. Do not overlook this essence for the small scrape or wound that may potentially develop into a minor infection. It will be useful at these times, as well, and could be considered as essential a part of your home first-aid as the Band-Aid. It may be taken orally or sprayed directly on a cut or scrape, with equal effectiveness. The essence of cucumber helps to balance the individual during times of depression. By this, we mean those times when one feels completely detached from his life and perceives it to be a picture show playing out in front of him,
but not involving him. He has little or no desire to reenter the picture. Cucumber Essence strengthens the psyche, which allows the individual to move from a state of depression to a vital, positive reattachment to his life.(Perelandra) Helps restore energy and vitality after an illness. Also a tonic and balancer for the reproductive systems of both men and women. Physical strength. The Zucchini Essence
is especially helpful during times of convalescence after childbirth, illness or surgery, when the body is working to restore physical vitality. It may be taken during an illness as well, for the essence will assist the individual in maintaining as much of his physical strength as possible while going through the illness process. 16 Yarrow as a flower essence has been used for protection on the emotional level during times of vulnerability caused by spiritual and psychological growth process. Yellow Yarrow Essence, in particular, is helpful during these times in that it not only protects one from outside influence during periods of emotional vulnerability, but it supports the individual in a way that allows him to soften on all levels so that the integration of his shifts can occur more easily. It protects and at the same time returns one to a state of softness, gentleness. This essence is especially effective for those who respond to their times of vulnerability by throwing up a wall—a wall that impedes their integration process. Golden YarrowPositive qualities: Remaining open to others while still feeling inner protection; active social involvement which preserves the integrity of the Self. Patterns of imbalance: For outgoing people who are overly influenced by their environment and by other people; protecting oneself from vulnerability to others by withdrawal and social isolation. One of the greatest challenges in the life of the soul is that of learning to stay open and balanced, without compromising one’s basic integrity and health. Golden Yarrow assists with this balance, and is indicated for those whose natural inclination is to avoid public limelight or performance because of acute sensitivity. In such situations the soul becomes imprisoned in its introversion, unable to learn how to open itself within proper limits. This situation is especially pronounced for artists whose very involvement in the arts requires profound soul refinement. Such persons often find it difficult to cope with their sensitivity, and can turn to drugs or other activities which blunt or harden the soul. Unfortunately, this choice is self-defeating, for it also severs the individual from true artistic capacity and sensitivity. Golden Yarrow flower essence helps such a person to build a sheath which shields and protects, while still providing access to its innate sensitivity. In this way the soul comes to anchor inviolable light and strength within itself, which protect and encourage the delicate and gentle expression of the Self. - from the 'Flower Essence Repertory', by Patricia Kaminsky and Richard Katz. The most comprehensive and user-friendly flower essence book we've found. Highly recommended for any practitioner. Are you someone who is extremely sensitive and keenly aware of your environment and of the thoughts and intentions of others, even when not spoken? Do you have many allergic responses to food or environmental stimuli, feeling that you need more inner strength and integrity? Do you often find yourself depleted when you are in crowds, while traveling, or in taxing or challenging social situations? Does your work as a healer, teacher or parent require enormous forces of compassion and giving, which often leaves you feeling you have nothing more to give? - |
