What the world needs now is Holly

No, not the plant we use for decoration in winter, the essence that Dr. Bach developed.

Holly is the essence of love. It dispels hatred and gives us compassion and sympathy for those who disagree with us. It banishes jealousy and resentment and allows us to be comfortable “in our own skin” without needing to tear someone else down.

Willow also helps dispel bitterness, grudges, and hatred. It allows us to see what is good in our lives and stop dwelling on what others may or may not do. 

The world also needs Beech. This flower essence gives us understanding and tolerance for other people’s beliefs and uniqueness. It allows us to go on with our own lives without the need to change anyone else. Perhaps it would put an end to the personal attacks and the destruction that so many see as the answer to every dispute. 

• I’m not suggesting that universal love will erase all disagreement in the world.. 
• I’m not suggesting that we should fail to protect ourselves and our loved ones. 
• I’m not suggesting that we should accept the evil that some do and say it’s OK because its their belief or personal morality. 

 What I’m suggesting is that with daily doses of Holly, Willow, and Beech, people might cease the hateful words and deeds – which only make everything worse. 

While we do need to protect our families from harm, we might learn to mind our own business, do our own personal best, and stop insisting that everyone else agree with us. 

It would definitely be a good thing if individuals stopped causing harm to others who don’t share their opinions! 

If you have strong opinions and beliefs that produce hate, do realize that those feelings can only do you harm. Hatred, envy, and anger all do damage to both your mental and physical health. In addition, because the Law of Attraction is a natural law that cannot be broken, harboring those feelings can only bring more of the same into your life. 

Take care of yourself. Use the flower essences that Dr. Bach created to release your feelings of hatred, anger, bitterness, and envy. Give yourself the freedom to experience love and joy – and live your life to the fullest.

Come to FeelBach! and get what you need to feel good again.

Are Holiday Emotions Bringing You Down?

The holidays re a time of joy for many – and a time of stress and overwhelming negative emotions for many others.

This year, with the job losses and overall economic chaos, an emotion that is taking center stage for thousands of Americans is jealousy.

Are you one of those who is suffering from this painful emotion?

Do you look at people planning trips to visit family over the holidays and feel jealous, angry, and hurt because you can’t afford to go anywhere?

Are you looking at the ads for fabulous gifts that you’d love to buy for the people you love – and feeling awful because you simply can’t afford to do it? Is it making you feel bitter and angry?

If you lost your home to the mortgage meltdown, you may be living in smaller accommodations and feeling jealous of those who have the space for a huge tree while you’re stuck with a table model.

Of course, money isn’t the only reason to feel jealous right now. If your kids are grown and gone and live far away – or if you never had children – you might be feeling jealous of people who will be setting a huge table for children, or for children, spouses, and grand-children.

If you’ve lost a spouse you may be feeling jealous of happily married friends.

When the Law of Attraction is Working Against You...

The Law of Attraction is so simple - and yet so difficult for many to understand.

After a lifetime of noticing that which you don't have - and even feeling jealous of others who do have what you wish for, it can feel almost impossible to create the state of mind that's necessary to attract good things.

This is especially true for the Willow personality - and absolutely impossible for anyone in a negative Willow state.

We've all been there temporarily at one time or another - when self pity has gained the upper hand. Fortunately, most of us can shake ourselves out of it fairly soon, especially when we recognize the state and reach for Bach Flower Essences to get our energies back in balance.

A person in a negative Willow state cannot.

In fact, if not treated, he can sink farther and farther into that self-pity, until the Willow state becomes chronic. By then he has no compassion or consideration for anyone outside of himself. The injustices in his life take center stage - and of course he feels like all of his misfortunes are someone else's fault.

It can be difficult to live with such a person, and it may be even more difficult to talk with them about treatment for this negative state. That's why many simply walk away rather than continue trying to help.

If you find yourself unable to harness the Law of Attraction to attract what you want, or if you are simply spending too much time feeling jealous or resentful, you're not enjoying life as you should. So get the Bach Flower Essence, Willow, and get back in balance.
