Chakras & Bach Flower Remedies: A How-To
Chakras are the principle components of the human energy system. I see them as the Divine Life Force itself viewed as a prism. Because chakras are energetic, energetic treatment modalities are ideal.
For the next week or so, I’ll write about the chakra system, and the remarkable work known as The Bach Flower Remedies. Here’s an intro:
Dr. Edward Bach is the homeopath & M.D. who created the Bach Flower Essences. There are 38 in his set. Lots of other companies make flower essences, and you can even make your own, but the only ones I am familiar with and use are the Bach Flower Essences. Again, how and where they are manufactured matters. Caveat emptor.
Dr. Bach divided those 38 into seven groups. Did he mean them to be the chakras? No one knows. However, Anna Jeoffroy and Philip Salmon, authors of the only book I’ve found on Bach Flower Essences and the chakras, seem to think he did.
Dr. Bach wrote, “Disease of the body itself is nothing but the result of the disharmony between soul and mind. Remove the disharmony, and we regain harmony between soul and mind, and the body is once more perfect in all its parts.”
When I am guided to the Remedies, I always dowse for them, [or otherwise, discern: pray, meditate, muscle test, et al] each remedy and make a custom remedy for the situation, remembering also to dowse for dosage, frequency, & duration.
Because of how the full set of remedies comes packaged, it’s easiest, first, to dowse the top layer, then the bottom layer. Then, if you have a yes on either or both, dowse the first half of the tier, then down to individual remedies. Point being, you don’t have to take each bottle and dowse it. Make it efficient for yourself.
As you take your remedy, you might consider an image of each of the plants themselves in your particular combination. You can, as part of your healing process, meditate upon them to get a further benefit from your remedies. Just one more way to glean information about yourself.
FWIW, When I use Bach flower remedies, I almost always do this dowsing method because my brain is such that I’ll be figuring out what’s wrong, and diagnosing, and all that. after years and years of working that way, it doesn’t serve me personally at all because I am in my own way.
Pendulums are handy-dandy tools. They by-pass the oh, so opinionated [yes, and useful for some things] mind, and let you get to the, um, you should pardon the pun, essence of the matter.
If you’re human — and I’m assuming that if you’re reading this, you are — we all have occasions where the world becomes just too much and can cause us to visit uncertainty. Keyword: visit. Don’t buy a house. Don’t sign a lease. Dowse for a remedy, and find something beautiful to look at, listen to, touch, taste, or smell. The uncertainty will lift.
How do I know? Been there, done that.
