Flower Essences to the Rescue. Article by Holly Beatie, Vibrational Remedies

FLOWERS TO THE RESCUE

For years, I used to have a little bottle of "Rescue Remedy" in a pocket, my brief case, or hand bag at all times, just in case, especially when I was doing cold call advertising sales! Those who know about "Rescue Remedy" have most likely had their own little bottle of the stuff around for coping with those occasional upsets.

If you are unfamiliar with "Rescue Remedy", allow me to briefly explain. About seventy years ago the renowned British physician, Edward Bach, while re-introducing the healing art of flower essences onto the planet, created "Rescue Remedy" utilizing the energies from five flowers. The formula helps people deal with the crisis and traumas in their lives and assists them to stay grounded and centered and able to cope.

When I began sourcing the formulas for my High Octave Healing line, I had no plans to include a Crisis/Trauma formula as there are already several companies producing the "Rescue Remedy" combination that are well marketed. After several inquiries about my trauma formula (which didn't exist) it occurred to me that perhaps it's time for an upgrade. Bach, in his day, was working with only 38 stock essences and today we have thousands from which to create beautifully synergistic and powerful formulas.

The original "Rescue Remedy" includes, Cherry Plum, Clematis, Impatiens, Rock Rose, and Star of Bethlehem. For the High Octave Healing Crisis/Trauma formula, I discarded two of the original essences and added five more, two of which are sea essences. Here is a brief description of my formula:

ARNICA - for renewal and keeping in touch with the Higher Self;

CHITON - dispels rigidity, gives protection, and ability to cope;

CLEMATIS - brings a sense of accountability with mindfulness;

HORSETAIL - preserves sense of flow and continuity within events;

HYACINTH - to clear shock and enhance self-assurance;

IMPATIENS - helps improve steadiness during disturbances;

STAGHORN ALGAE - promotes mental clarity and ease during disorder and confusion;

STAR OF BETHLEHEM - helps one deal with shock and adversity to find workable outcome.

The feedback so far on the Crisis/Trauma Formula has been quite positive. In fact, there is one man who used the formula daily for about three months with the intention of re- establishing the emotional and cognitive connection with himself that had been tenuous since suffering a concussion several years earlier. It worked! Now, I have the Recovery Formula that is even more efective.

This is an excellent example of someone using their intuition and inner guidance to determine and adjust dosage, frequency, and other parameters around the use of essences. I always encourage people to work with the formulas on this level for optimum results.

As much as we endeavor to keep our lives flowing and calm, there are always unexpected troubles and challenges that come our way. The Crisis/Trauma formula is good to have on hand for things like accidents, arguments, bad news, minor surgery or dental work, and just about any situation that upsets our emotional, psychological, and/or physical equilibrium. It provides an extra level of loving support when we must be present to cope with life's emergencies. Also, it's perfectly safe and effective for children and animals.
