- Energy Medicine and Healing with Nature
Emotional energy is the source of our creative center. Without a healthy emotional core, it’s difficult to access the source of purpose, sustainability or destiny. In a today’s turbulent world, we often push ourselves to extremes, causing burn-out, exhaustion, depression, anxiety, compromised immune systems and illness. We’ve got to understand how our health, in current times, depends on new paradigms of healing, new daily health practices and a revival that extends into vibrational healing. Our bodies are a living, breathing kaleidoscope, connecting multiple links between stars and plants. This universal template is a divine mirror between the co-creative forces of Humanity and Nature; ethereal yet grounded, a magic mirror of life. “Health depends on being in harmony with our souls.” ~ Edward Bach We are swimming in an energy field, an ancestral energy field holding fourteen generations of events that took place in our blood lines. Before we were born into this material realm, our embryonic selves floated within fluids of the womb, the waters of life. Advance scientific research in genetics and epi-genetics and DNA science reveal evidence that we are influenced by this genetic code. Our reactions, emotions, and unconscious behaviors are governed equally by our generational influences, environment, and karmic patterns. Family members may each have their own unique patterning and DNA factors. The design of a human embryo is a spiral pattern, an evolutionary signature at the core of all life beginning sea creatures, shells, rocks, plants and flowers. The interconnection indicates a fundamental unity with the cosmos and the Milky Way; a spiral of multitudes of stars and planets. Our very natures are interdependent on this source of life, a greater mystery, and a vibrational energy we call Human Incarnation. “Humans have a soul which is their real higher self; a Divine, Mighty, Being. --Edward Bach We are indeed a human tribe. Together our bodies carry variable emotions, experiences, and memories. For centuries, human consciousness has been explored through the design of the human body. Ancient cultures considered the body a microcosm of the universe, where body organs were connected to planets; meridians represented connecting lines of energy flow and the mystical and science were interconnected, not alienated from each other. Today, however, a chasm interferes with the flow of universal oneness. The energy between matter (physical) and energy (vibrational) was separated. Connectivity was shattered and a new paradigm of logic swept human consciousness. A great error occurred as humanity became more and more separated from nature, the living intelligence of ancestry, and most importantly, we became increasingly estranged from the Life of the Soul. Yet, layers of history repeat themselves and with the great work of Edward Bach in the early 1900’s a retrieval of vibrational medicine was restored in western medicine. Edward Bach, a medical doctor whose aim it was to restore health that involved the subtle energies of emotional blocks and mental belief patterns. Bach’s study from the works of Paracelsus, an alchemist of the 14th and 15th centuries, discovered a modality of healing that would address the maladies of human imbalance and illness. His research and experimentation with alchemical plant medicine brought forth an essential aspect of vibrational medicine today, the benefits of flower Essence Therapy and plant medicine. We are indebted to Bach’s tireless work and dedication as he resurrected interconnectivity between the design of plant material and human genetics. He found that flowers, as medicine, could serve as a vibrational remedy for the many ailments that plague humanity. By imprinting a flower’s signature within water, the imprint of the flower’s mandala design would enter the stream or deep-seated patterning of the individual, thereby releasing and freeing one from the imbalances of restrictive mental, emotional, and spiritual constructs. A marriage between nature and all living beings had been brought to light on a vibrational level once again. Flower Essences are widely used as a companion to healing methods today. “The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore, the physician must start from nature, with an open mind.” ~ Paracelsus
- The Soul of Nature: Early Alchemy
The following is an excerpt from Isha Lerner's book: Power of Flowers. Astrologers, those who have studied the stars, and herbalists, those who have studied the plants, have ever been seeking those remedies which will help us to keep our health and joy. ~Edward Beach The entire natural world, including the world of human beings, is engaged in the alchemical process of spiritual transmutation. Therefore, flowers – both in the form of essences and of artistic renderings – are perhaps its greatest ally. The Ancient Art Of Alchemy Is Almost As Old As Civilization Itself! At the esoteric level, western alchemists, in their quest for spiritual perfection, developed a tradition of "cosmic magic." It can be traced as far back as the 4th century B.C.E. (Before the Common Era), extending deep into the mystery of Thoth, the Egyptian god of mathematics and science. It is interesting to note that in the Eastern world of approximately the same time period, Hindu, Buddhist, and Taoist yogis were engaged in highly esoteric, alchemical experimentation, as well. In the Hindu and Buddhist context, these secret practices are commonly known as tantra. At a more mundane level, western alchemical theory is based on the notion that the material world, despite its great diversity of form, can be reduced to a single, primary substance. This substance, known as prima materia, or primal, chaotic matter, ultimately consists of 4 basic elements: air, fire, water, earth. It was further believed that certain transmuting agents, themselves made up of these four basic elements, were capable of changing one material into another. In this context, alchemy was understood as the art of transmuting base materials into more refined materials through a process of freeing the original base materials from their "impurities." This notion became known as "the philosopher's stone,” the most recognized of all alchemical ideas. Perhaps Paraselsus described this alchemical movement toward purity and perfection best when he said: Nature...does not produce anything that is perfection. Humanity must bring things to perfection. The work of bringing things to perfection is called "Alchemy" and he is an alchemist who carries what nature grows for the use of humanity to its destined end. Alchemists Of Ancient Times Were Not Yet Burdened By The Artificial Distinction Between Science And The Occult. In this sense, they were at a decided advantage over modern day seekers of perfection. The observable world of nature and the invisible, unconscious world of the psyche were not yet dualistically set apart, allowing for a holistic approach to inner and outer realities. In a world of whole things, one was more apt to discover whole truths. The minds of antiquity were more fluid; imaginations more fertile, giving rise to fanciful visions and elaborate excursions into overlapping philosophical, psychological, and religious domains. Steeped in a profound and direct experience of the mystical union of matter and spirit, all material forms were recognized as ultimately changeable and transmutable. The Contribution Made To Both Mystical And Scientific Enterprises By Early Alchemists Cannot Be Overstated. They understood the elemental healing properties of various plants, flowers, and chemicals, and were, consequently, able to formulate many powerful elixirs and potions – including the herbal concoctions used in the Egyptian mummification process, as well as those used in African shamanic healing and visionary journeys. Ultimately, their greatest achievement was their exploration of the dark, mysterious, unconscious aspects of nature and humanity. Through this journey, the early alchemists managed a blend of the exotic, the scientific, the esoteric, and the mudane. Recommended Flower Essence Alchemy Flower Remedy is best used when seeking to embody the physics of sacred love and wisdom on a cellular level. The properties of this essence are derived from the flowers corresponding to the Feminine Soul of Nature, Natura.
- From Heal Thy Self by Edward Bach
...These words, this truth, the power of his wisdom will forever guide this work with flowers, soul, health and destiny....enjoy! To understand the nature of disease certain fundamental truths have to be acknowledged. The first of these is that man has a Soul which is his real self; a Divine, Mighty Being, a Son of the Creator of all things, of which the body, although the earthly temple of that Soul, is but the minutest reflection: that our Soul, our Divinity Who resides in and around us, lays down for us our lives as He wishes them to be ordered and, so far as we will allow, ever guides, protects and encourages us, watchful and beneficent to lead us always for our utmost advantage: that He, our Higher Self, being a spark of the Almighty, is thereby invincible and immortal. The second principle is that we, as we know ourselves in this world, are personalities down here for the purpose of gaining all the knowledge and experience which can be obtained through earthly existence, of developing virtues which we lack and of wiping out all that is wrong within us, thus advancing towards the perfection of our natures. The Soul knows what environment and what circumstances will best enable us to do this, and hence He places us in that branch of life most suited for that object. Thirdly, we must realize that the short passage on this earth, which we know as life, is but a moment in the course of our evolution, as one day at school is to a life, and although we can for the present only see and comprehend that one day, our intuition tells us that birth was infinitely far from our beginning and death infinitely far from our ending. Our Souls, which are really we, are immortal, and the bodies of which we are conscious and temporary, merely as horses we ride to go a journey, or instruments we use to do a piece of work. Then follows a fourth great principle, that so long as our Souls and personalities are in harmony all is joy and peace, happiness and health. It is when our personalities are led astray from the path laid down by the Soul, either by our own worldly desires or by the persuasion of others, that a conflict arises. This conflict is the root cause of disease and unhappiness. No matter what our work in the world - bootblack or monarch, landlord or peasant, rich or poor - so long as we do that particular work according to the dictates of the Soul, all is well; and we can further rest assured that in whatever station of life we are placed, princely or lowly, it contains the lessons and experiences necessary at the moment for our evolution, and gives us the best advantage for the development of ourselves. The next great principle is the understanding of the Unity of all things: that the Creator of all things is Love, and that everything of which we are conscious is in all its infinite number of forms a manifestation of that Love, whether it be a planet or a pebble, a star or a dewdrop, man or the lowest form of life. It may be possible to get a glimpse of this conception by thinking of our Creator as a great blazing sun of beneficence and love and from the centre an infinite number of beams radiate in every direction, and that we and all of which we are conscious are particles at the end of those beams, sent out to gain experience and knowledge, but ultimately to return to the great centre. And though to us each ray may appear separate and distinct, it is in reality part of the great central Sun. Separation is impossible, for as soon as a beam of light is cut off from its source it ceases to exist. Thus we may comprehend a little of the impossibility of separateness, as although each ray may have its individuality, it is nevertheless part of the great central creative power. Thus any action against ourselves or against another affects the whole, because by causing imperfection in a part it reflects on the whole, every particle of which must ultimately become perfect. So we see there are two great possible fundamental errors: dissociation between our Souls and our personalities, and cruelty or wrong to others, for this is a sin against Unity. Either of these brings conflict, which leads to disease. An understanding of where we are making an error (which is so often not realized by us) and an earnest endeavor to correct the fault will lead not only to a life of joy and peace, but also to health. Disease is in itself beneficent, and has for its object the bringing back of the personality to the Divine will of the Soul; and thus we can see that it is both preventable and avoidable, since if we could only realize for ourselves the mistakes we are making and correct these by spiritual and mental means there would be no need for the severe lesson of suffering. Every opportunity is given us by the Divine Power to mend our ways before, as a last resort, pain and suffering have to be applied. It may not be the errors of this life, this day at school, which we are combating; and although we in our physical minds may not be conscious of the reason of our suffering, which may to us appear cruel and without reason, yet our Souls (which are ourselves) know the full purpose and are guiding us to our best advantage. Nevertheless, understanding and correction of our errors would shorten our illness and bring us back to health. Knowledge of the Soul’s purpose and acquiescence in that knowledge means the relief of earthly suffering and distress, and leaves us free to develop our evolution in joy and happiness. There are two great errors: first, to fall to honor and obey the dictates of our Soul, and second, to act against Unity. On account of the former, be ever reluctant to judge others, because what is right for one is wrong for another. The merchant, whose work it is to build up a big trade not only to his own advantage but also to that of all those whom he may employ, thereby gaining knowledge of efficiency and control and developing the virtues associated with each, must of necessity use different qualities and different virtues from those of a nurse, sacrificing her life in the care of the sick; and yet both, if obeying the dictates of their Souls, are rightly learning those qualities necessary for their evolution. It is obeying the commands of our Soul, our Higher Self, which we learn through conscience, instinct and intuition, that matters. Thus we see that by its very principles and in its very essence, disease is both preventable and curable, and it is the work of spiritual healers and physicians to give, in addition to material remedies, the knowledge to the suffering of the error of their lives, and of the manner in which these errors can be eradicated, and so to lead the sick back to health and joy.
