Peeling the layers. We can never know precisely what may be hidden in the layers of emotions that we’ve spent decades covering up as a defence mechanism or coping strategy to deal with situations and relationships that have left their mark. With the Bach flowers, you don’t need to go digging for those imprints. You simply listen to how you feel right now, in this present moment. Willow resentment? Heather neediness? Holly spite? Or any of the other Bach flowers….

Unhealed emotions can, as time goes on, become embodied and contribute to destabilising our health. If after difficult times you have a tendency to just push on with things, rather than allowing yourself the quality of time and attention you need to holistically heal, you may be surprised by what is still with you. In my own experiences of deeply embedded ‘flower states’ I’ve discovered some (including Sweet Chestnut) when coming around after surgical intervention — which is an extreme way to discover them. Not recommended! However, certainly a catalyst to become more tuned in to the wake-up calls when there is a lot going on in life, and adjusting and taking the flower mix as required.

When you take your drops on a regular basis, they will gently do their work in helping you to resolve your current imbalances and reveal the next layer. And so you progress, learning about yourself, recognising what you need to heal, let go of, reconcile, forgive, love….

None of us are the finished masterpiece, we are each a work in progress, layer by layer, emotion by emotion until, as Dr Bach said, the soul and personality are in harmony and all is joy and peace, happiness and health.

What layers have been revealed to you on your healing journey? 🌺

Paramhansa Yogananda: "Use memory only to recall good and noble experiences, which will come to you as angels of inspiration and protection. To use memory to recall evil experiences is to fill your mental temple with torturing mental demons. What is past belongs to your dead ignorant self and does not truly belong to you. The good things you have done, and their effects on the past and present, are your richest treasures.⁠
⁠
Thus, see no evil, hear no evil, and think no evil, so that you do not desecrate your mental temple. By recalling only good things, you will find yourself surrounded by angelic thoughts, and you will begin to recall all the forgotten goodness hidden in your subconscious and superconscious minds. Eventually you will recall your pure Self, the image of God within you, long screened off behind your mortal forgetfulness. When the mansion of your soul contains no evil, then the essence of all goodness, God, will visit you within.⁠
⁠
If you limit your memory, you limit your life. Memory is comprehensive and elastic, and can record many important things if you develop it. If you love good things and remember only good things, you will eventually remember God, the essence of all good things, and that you are, and always have been, one with Him."⁠

The mind-body connection is REAL. There is an intricate relationship between our mental and physical health.

Thinking about a stressful situation activates the hypothalamus in the brain, which triggers the HPA (hypothalamaic-pituitary-adrenal) axis, a stress-response system. This axis releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) to the pituitary gland, which in turn sends adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) to the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands then release stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, preparing the body to respond to a perceived threat, even if the threat is merely a thought.

If these stress hormones remain elevated chronically, it can lead to a wide range of symptoms like no libido, extreme weight gain, fatigue, insomnia, depression, anxiety, brain fog, even autoimmune and other chronic diseases.

Conversely, positive thoughts create healing compounds and promote recovery by activating the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) and altering brain chemistry. By lowering stress hormones and increasing restorative neurotransmitters, a calm state enhances the body’s natural capacity for healing.

The vagus nerve is the main neural pathway for the “rest and digest” parasympathetic nervous system. Stimulating the vagus nerve through calming thoughts and activities helps to: lower stress hormones such as cortisol, reduce inflammation throughout the body, decrease heart rate and blood pressure.

Calm, intentional thought patterns also stimulate the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that acts like “fertilizer” for the brain. BDNF promotes healing and growth in the brain by:

📑Encouraging neurogenesis: the growth of new brain cells.

📑Enhancing neuroplasticity: the brain’s ability to reorganize and form new neural connections. This is a critical factor in recovery from brain injuries and mental health disorders.

📑Protecting existing neurons from stress-induced damage.
