Aquarius Flower Remedies
Newsletter
April/May 2013
In 'The Medical Discoveries of Dr. Bach', the biographer of Bach, Nora Weeks, tells not of 12 Healers, the first mini set of Bach flower remedies, but thirteen. For some reason, not specified, Bach did not include Milk thistle into the original repertory of 12. I imagine this is a common phenomena for flower essence producers: certainly with the flower remedies I have created there are various reasons why a number of remedies have not made it into the repertory . I wonder if Bach had lived longer he would have revisited the Milk Thistle and found a way of allowing it to express its healing through his remedies?
One remedy I have revisited is Helios. It was not originally included in the repertory because I was unable to identify it botanically. It is a small yelow/orange composite (daisy like) of which there are many and it was not listed in any of the Mediterranean wild flower books of the time. The name is a local name given to many similar flowers. Recently it came into my very strongly into my mind when speaking to someone with chronic pain I have been treating with flower essences for a number of years.
After sending the remedy and receiving positive feedback, I was asked for a full description of the essence. Unable to find the original description I had to rewrite it some 14 years after its making. This was not a difficult thing to do as at the time the flower had made a powerful impression on me, one I can easily recall. This made me realise that all the remedies I make leave a deep and memorable impression on me. These impressions actually form part of the 'conscious intent' that happens when I prepare the remedies, but that is going off at a tangent.
Helios
Helios is a composite flower (of the daisy family) that grows in the Mediterranean region. It's name comes from the fact that it is yellow and resembles the Sun.
Helios can be used by those who feel outside of society, alone, isolated and cut off. It may be that their isolation is self-imposed, not wishing to be part of society, shunning friendships because they do not feel sufficient empathy with others. Perhaps they have come from a different culture or had very different types of experiences that put them apart from the mainstream of beliefs and opinions.
It may be that their isolation has arisen because their work/activity takes them away from contact with fellow humans. Their work/responsibilities may leave them feeling isolated, unable to share their most important and intimate thoughts and feelings with others because they are not allowed to or unable to trust others with their secrets.
Often souls who have been on a great adventure (inner or outer) and experienced life on the very edge of life feel dislocated and at odds with the safe and cosy world the vast majority of us occupy. Those of us who have been ill, perhaps for a long period of time and have lost contact with old friends and haunts may also feel this way. Illness, like a major adventure, can be a transforming experience forcing us out of a familiar world into an alien reality with a totally different value system.
Powerful experiences, self-imposed or otherwise, cause us to grow and mature on many levels of being. When we return to a 'normal' life it can seem false and shallow, unable to satisfy our deeper needs. We can feel more important, superior and aloof from the old self and its ways.
When the opportunity to return to the old world arises it can be very difficult because major life changes have occurred whilst in other realms. Helios is the remedy to use to help us integrate these different realities, make us feel more part of society but bring the important knowledge gained from experiences elsewhere.
Helios is a flower which grows in the Mediterranean. It is a small yellow composite. Helios is the remedy for those who feel excluded from society. Such folk have much to offer, yet are unable to contribute fully or with enough satisfaction. Their pain lies in their inability to find a meaningful way of contributing their skills. This essence alleviates the sense of social exclusion and isolation.

I supose the bit I find puzzling about this old - half forgotten remedy re-emerging is why it has taken so long for this flower remedy to reach the light of day. It is such a very useful remedy.
Workshops
Workshops seem to be back on the list of things to do. Over the past couple of years a combination of recession and me not being very good at publicity (can't do everything) has meant that the workshops have not had enough participants to run. I've had to cancell and those who had booked have been disappointed. Now the courses are being offered without any fixed dates. If you are interested in attending any, let us know, we'll put you on a list and when we have enough to make it viable (we only need 3 or 4) we'll suggest 3 possible weekends and hopefully it will all fall into place.
Karmic Healing Workshop
We all possess deep wounds within our soul, carried across from previous lives. These wounds help shape considerably our personality and fate. However, events of previous lives that created these dysfunctional patterns are not remembered on a conscious, or in many cases, subconscious level. Could a recollection of past life actions, mistakes or trauma help us to understand better the foundations upon which our current life is formed?
This workshop combines teachings from the Ancient Wisdom, Astrology and the Moon Flowers to open your perception to your past lives and the karma that has been carried through to the present incarnation.
Coping with Saturn through Astrology and Flower Remedies
The astrological influence of Saturn, Lord of Time, is profound, from the moment of our birth to the time of our death. Saturn is the planet of limitations and restrictions. It governs the winter months of cold and contraction. In our lives we so often experience Saturn as hardship and pain. Saturn exposes the harsh realities and limitations of our lives. Saturn defines the boundaries we have to live within , some we feel safe and comfortable with and some we fight against.
In small, intimate groups and with the aid of our own individual horoscopes, we will explore the impact of Saturn upon our past, present and future and look at ways of working constructively and positively with this astrological archetype. Along with applying the wisdom and insight astrology offers, we shall also connect with and use the flower remedies that resonate particularly strongly with the difficult issues Saturn brings into our lives.
This workshop is suitable for anyone wishing to understand themselves better. The understanding this workshop gives can also be used to assist others when they encounter the influence of Saturn in their lives. No prior knowledge of astrology is required.
Healing the Light Body
This workshop integrates three different sets of our flower essences into simple healing routines to cleanse and stimulate the light body or aura.
During the weekend we will explore the theory of the chakra system and the flower essences we use to bring healing to these organs of our subtle anatomy. You will learn how to diagnose weak and blocked chakras and how to administer the essences for best results. We will be working with the 7 major chakra and the extended chakra system. We will also explore the theory of the meridians and learn how to discern the unbalanced flow of Ki through these energetic channels. You will be able to work with the 5 Element Flower Essences to bring healing to this aspect of the subtle anatomy. We will also explore the energy of the various layers of the aura and use flower essences to bring greater awareness and healing to these areas. The weekend is a well-balanced combination of theory and practice, and intellectual and intuitive working.
It is suitable for professional and lay healers. The essences will be available to freely work with over the weekend and can be purchased at our discounted student rate. Comprehensive handouts covering all aspects of the work will be given out.
Seed Essences
We produce a set of 50 seed essences. These are made in the same way as flower remedies but from the seeds rather than the flowers of the plants.
Seed essences are powerful new vibrational essences that are very simple to use and have many uses which are highly relevant to the issues we face at present. To put it in a nutshell, seed essences connect us more fully to our Inner Seed. During the weekend we will examine our own Inner Seed.
In this workshop you will have an opportunity to experience personally the power of the seed essences and learn how to prescribe them for others. We will explore the symbolism of seeds and how this influences our own being.
