...the MAGIC of roadside HERBS... - by Katrina

Driving along to work the other day it occurred to me just how many HAWTHORN berries are around at the moment in the Southern Highlands...the trees are literally full of fruit. My training as a herbalist was with the wonderful Dorothy Hall for whom HAWTHORN was a favourite - the benefits of this herb for the CARDIOVASCULAR system are many. It is always lovely to remember that many of our most useful herbs are still running wild in our towns - it is almost like they are simply calling out to be used.

Mim Beim has just released a book called "GROW your own MEDICINE" which again reminds us of the useful medicinal benefits of our everyday herbs- another wonderful resource !!

Dorothy Hall taught me and many others about the benefits of blending FLOWER ESSENCES with HERBS to provide a complete medicinal mix for the patient as a whole - treating both the physical and the emotional aspects of a patient's health. FLOWER ESSENCES can beautifully complement the qualities of our favourite HERBS and it is certainly a pleasure to work with both.

Please email me katrina@bushflowerhealing.com if you would like a consultation or further information on potential FLOWER ESSENCE combinations that can work with HAWTHORN for common CARDIOVASCULAR irregularities such as HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE - remembering we as herbalists always treat the individual.

The secret powers of ABUND-essence? - by Katrina

I wondered recently whether ABUND-essence was responsible for the sale of a local house that had been on the market forever - maybe??? Out of pure desperation, the owners started taking the ABUND-essence blend and SOLD the house within weeks.

Over the years I have both heard about and personally experienced the many joys of ABUND-essence. Situations where people who start taking this blend suddenly find jobs, receive random presents, open their hearts more easily to relationships and win unexpected prizes have been reported.  

As for me I continue to enjoy observing these Essences working in their oh-so-mysterious ways...

If you would like to test out some ABUND for yourself please email me katrina@bushflowerhealing.com

BUSH IRIS - by Maddi'

Bush Iris is a delicate beauty. It stands close to the ground held by a strong husk and is about 4cm across. Bush Iris holds the quality of being able to enhance spiritual awareness by clearing blocks in chakras. It also holds a lot of opportunity to clear lymphatics which means that it can be used to help treat allergy or purify the body. I have used it with fringed violet and dagger hakea to get good results for hayfever. This remedy works best if taken consistently for four weeks and then may be needed less regularly. The bush iris essence is available in 25mL dropper bottles and the usual dosage is 7 drops under the tongue twice daily for all ages.

To learn more about using Australian bush flower essences for yourself, your close community or your wider community see our workshops dates.



Bliss at LAKE BAIKAL - by Katrina

I have just been lucky enough to be a participant in Ian White's latest Light Frequency Essence Workshop in Sydney over the weekend. Ian took us on an amazing journey 'around the world' sharing with us his insights and experiences in making up his latest range of vibrational Essences made all over the planet from Antarctica to Greenland, from the Amazon to Madagascar !!!

LAKE BAIKAL is an Essence that was made by Ian in Siberia.

Taking this Essence at the workshop had quite a profound effect on me and again showed me how powerful these Essences can be in transforming our lives.

From the very moment I took these drops, I felt a transformation. My energy raised and I felt joy and happiness. The tiredness of my early start 'magically' disappeared as I was also immediately reminded of the many rich and blissful parts of my life and instantly felt able to float past any obstacle life has to offer - it felt like a drug to me the effect was so potent.

After using vibrational Essences for many years, it was lovely to be reminded in such a setting of this potency and the possibilities within us that such Essences can ignite. Each of us is living a unique journey and different Essences are relevant at different times - my 'Lake Baikal' is now !!!




BLENDING with BAUHINIA - by Katrina

The healing capacity of Bush Flower Essences always surprises me ...

BAUHINIA is an Essence that helps beautifully with the surprises that life can bring ... this Essence is fabulous for helping us to accept CHANGE,

to comfortably initiate CHANGE and to adapt more easily when CHANGES are forced upon us.

I have prescribed BAUHINIA successfully for :

       - NEW MUMS adapting to the whirlwind that is their baby...

                                                

       - those that have recently MOVED house or state or country...

                                                                      

       - someone who has started work, changed JOBS or retired...

       - those in a new RELATIONSHIP or an old one that has changed... 

                                                                  
                                                                  ...the list goes on ... 

                                                                                                              

                                                          

In the pharmacy setting I find BAUHINIA especially useful in Essence blends for customers who are attempting a LIFESTYLE change such getting FITTER, stopping SMOKING, or losing WEIGHT.

BAUHINIA is available in the PURIFYING blend and the TRANSITION blend or as a single Essence. 

More Mt Pinatubo - by Katrina

...a little bit more from my second week of taking the Mt Pinatubo Light Frequency Essence...realizations and things I have noticed...

General issues that have been under the surface for years and years seem to have been exposed and are demanding acknowledgement and resolution - I feel that I am being gently but very definitely guided to address certain issues...they can no longer stay where they were???

The Mt Pinatubo Essence seems to have helped me with the strength and confidence (and most importantly the strategies) needed to deal with these 'undercurrents' knowing that it is time to deal with them.

I am finding that this Essence is helping me to make a quick assessment of my individual goals on a day-to-day level and seems to be helping me to achieve these easily with minimal fuss - great for the procrastinator in me.

I feel strong and resolved in my purpose, well-assured of my path ahead and how I can best walk it !!!

...highly recommend it if you are ready...a most empowering experience...

Mt Pinatubo - by Katrina

I have just started taking Ian White's latest Light Frequency Essence : Mt Pinatubo and feel that I would like to share some brief insights.

There are certain words that come to me : SERENITY, CLARITY and KNOWING amongst them. 

Mt Pinatubo seems to be literally steam-rolling me towards my goals and letting me clarify what it is that I truly want and how I can best achieve this. After taking the Essence for only a week,
it seems to have removed any doubts I have had and to have allowed me to open my mind to the possibilities that await.

I believe that this is a truly power-filled vibrational Essence and highly recommend it to those that are ready to 'fly'.
