Will Blocked Energies Hold You Back in 2011?

Blocked energies - out of control emotions - and a disconnect from our source energy is quite often the reason why we don't achieve what we wish for - either personally or professionally.

Any time is the right time to take action to correct those problems. But now, at the traditional time of year to make new resolutions and new starts, it's an even better time.

Why not solve those energy / emotion problems once and for all? Why not go into 2011 free from the restraints they place on you?

If you aren't happy today and if you aren't achieving the success you want from life, take time to explore the reasons why. Go to FeelBach! and take the questionnaire. Since no one else you know will ever see it, be brutally honest with yourself.

See what the experts at Feel Bach recommend to help you get past those problems. They'll give you a recommended formula of Bach Flower Essences. When they do, go to www.bachflower.org and look up each of them. See what kind of blocks you may be hiding from yourself.

And then, of course, order your formula and begin using it to make 2011 your best year ever!

Clearing your Money Energy

A couple of days ago we talked about clearing your household energy - and clearing your money energy goes hand in hand with that.

Teachers from ancient to modern times have advised: "If you don't use it or love it, get rid of it." Another admonition is that when you have broken things in your home you must either repair them or throw them away. Their presence creates an energy block that pulls you down emotionally AND prevents new things from coming into your life.

I don't pretend to know why this works, but after years of both study and experience, I can attest to the fact that it does.

Just as you use Bach Flower Essences to rebalance the energies in your body and spirit, you can use clutter clearing to rebalance and release the energy that allows financial abundance into your life.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the doom and gloom being broadcast on TV, radio, and newspapers, you may feel that financial abundance can't be yours in this troubled year.

But it can - you simply need to take a couple of positive steps. The first one would be to quit listening to the gloom mongers. Unless there's something you can do about a problem, ignore it. Next is to assume that it has nothing to do with you and your financial future.

Then get busy on rebalancing your home and yourself. Clear the clutter from your home, toss out all the old "stuff" that's been holding you back, and start using FeelBach's "Get Hope Back" or "Joy" to put your internal energies back on track.

This year presents as many opportunities as any other - so get in balance and get moving.

Clearing your household energy

You know that Bach Flower Essences will help clear and balance the energy in your system, but what about the energy in your house?

If you're living in a house filled with stagnant energy, you can and should clear it out. Otherwise, you're giving your Bach Flower Remedies more work than they need by re-introducing stress each time you return home.

You may know about Feng Shui - the Chinese art of placement that helps bring positive energies to your home. I won't get into where to place what - that's a subject for an entire book. But one of the foundations of Feng Shui is getting rid of clutter.

When you have corners in your home filled with unused "stuff" the energy gets clogged there and cannot flow easily through the house. So start there.

Look behind doors, in corners, and in closets - and clear out the things you aren't using. Or... put them where they belong. If you have good things that you know you'll never use, donate them to a non-profit organization that will recycle them toward someone who will use them. Doing that will feel good on two fronts - clearing your house and doing good for someone else.

If the thought of parting with anything brings you distress, take the FeelBach! questionnaire and get the right flower essences to help you let go and move into the fresh new year.

You'll be amazed at the feeling of freedom you'll have when you clear the clutter!

Happy New Year!

Bach flowers would help her, but...

Do you know someone who would drive you crazy if you let them?

There's a woman I see at a place where I volunteer who would do that to me. She's one of those people who knows absolutely everything about everything. And she's usually full of hot air.

But I've been thinking about her lately, and realizing that the reason for her objectionable behavior is her own low self-esteem. She's trying to build herself up by setting the rest of us straight. She's so sure of her convictions that sometimes I wonder if she's actually right, but so far I haven't found that to be true.

This week she tried to tell me that the bees who turned my ankles into balloons a week or so ago weren't yellow jackets because one of them left a stinger in my leg. She swore that yellow jackets never lose their stingers. Hmmm... so why does the internet have so many sites giving instruction for removing yellow jacket stingers?

Those of us who know about energy know that Bach flower remedies would help her - but they never will, because she'd never try. I doubt that she's ever done the self-reflection to realize why she needs to jump into every conversation and tell everyone else they're wrong - or the research to realize that she's almost always wrong. But more than that, she'd never try any kind of remedy that didn't come from a pharmacy.

Bach flower essences could help this woman regain her self-confidence and allow her to be someone whose company others could enjoy.

It's too bad - I feel sorry for her. But I also feel happy to know that you and I and others like us do know about energy - and know what to do about it if we start to experience energy blocks and begin to fall prey to unhealthy emotional states.

Bach flowers are always there to help us get back on track - and that's a good thing.

"The Secret" and your energy fields

Lately I've been talking to several people who want to use the law of attraction and the teachings found in "The Secret," but they're having trouble with it. They can't seem to get beyond their own feelings to begin focusing on what they want rather than what they don't want.

Right now in our part of the country too many people are focused on what's wrong - everything from high gas prices to too darned much snow! And then that negativity carries over into every other part of their lives.

But my group of friends would really like to shake free of that and just enjoy this new year.

It has occurred to me that their energy fields may be playing a large part in their problems. These blocked fields are keeping them trapped in negative thought patterns which further feed their inability to focus on happiness.

Thus I've been telling my friends to think about using flower essences. Since they are completely harmless and only serve to bring the body back into balance, there is no danger of the negative results which generally come with the use of drugs.

The list of flower essences and their uses at the FeelBach! site can help identify the feelings that are getting in the way of positive focus and help them to begin using the law of attraction to attract good things - instead of the things they're complaining about today.

Everyone deserves to feel good, so I hope my friends take my advice. And if you're stuck in this unhappy rut, I hope you do too!

Here's to a good year ahead...
