Finding the energy to rebuild

After a terrifying summer, many are in the position of rebuilding - starting over from scratch or trying to repair and rebuild what has been lost.

Between the hurricanes in the East, the wildfires in the West, flooding from heavy rains in various

locations, and the damage inflicted by rioting protestors and terrorists, it's been a season of fear and tension for far too many people.

And now, many are in a state of exhaustion while others live with the ongoing fear.

For many in the West, the fire danger has passed with the coming of snow and rain. A few are breathing sighs of relief, while those who lost homes and property are facing the aftermath.

Life goes on and we must go on, but sometimes finding the energy and strength is difficult.

Fortunately, while Dr. Bach's flower remedies can't replace what's been lost, they can help individuals deal with the emotional fall out.

Olive is the essence for those who feel emotionally, psychologically, or physically fatigued. Olive can help replenish physical vigor so whatever must be done can be done.

Sweet Chestnut provides a sense of hope and relieves feelings of despair, while Walnut helps us adapt to change. Mimulus will help those whose fear is ongoing.

The emotions you might feel when faced with any of these terrifying situations and their aftermath are both natural and understandable. But to move forward, you do need to re-balance and come to terms with what's going on in your life.

FeelBach! can't replace homes that have been lost, but our flower remedies CAN give you the emotional and physical energy and hope to get on with living your life.

Back to School – a time of anxiety and fear for many youngsters

When a child is entering Kindergarten or perhaps first grade, it’s natural to be a bit fearful. Will the teacher be nice – or mean. What about the other children? Will they like me or hate me? 

Then making the transition to Junior High or High School brings a new anxiety. Suddenly the child is

moved from “upper classman” to a lowly newbie. And they know that many of the older students won't let them forget it.

Then there are all those poor kids who have moved over the summer and are entering a new school where they don’t know one soul? Terrifying! 

All the parental reassurances in the world won’t stop some children from going into that first day – and even those first weeks of school without fear and apprehension. 

Dr. Bach’s Mimulus flower extract will help. 

Some flower essence practitioners believe that the Mimulus fears are akin to the fear of the newborn – coming from a safe womb into a harsh new world. And isn’t that much like what children experience when being thrust into a new environment where their protectors (parents) cannot follow.  

Mimulus helps regain the soul quality of courage, allowing the sufferer to bravely move forward.

Aspen is another of Dr. Bach’s essences that will aid a child at this time. Aspen relates more to vague fears and apprehension – as when a child is fearful but can’t say exactly why. 

Rock Rose is most helpful in situations where the child knows exactly why they are fearful. Perhaps they’ve been bullied or ridiculed – or even physically assaulted in school. Those fears border on terror and panic.

All of these remedies can be found in Feel Bach’s Feel5iveformula. This is one that many of us keep on hand to use in occasional stressful situations – a job interview, a trip to the dentist, or a first meeting with a sweetheart’s family. 

Click the links and read more about each of these remedies, then choose what’s right for your child. Start treatment a few days before school starts, so he or she can begin building inner defenses against that crippling fear.

Dealing with life in a state of fear - Feel5ive to the rescue

         

For many, the summer of 2016 is one of fear.

Many in the general population are fearful of attending a movie, going to a night club or restaurant, or even sending their children to school. Who knows where the next terror attack will occur?

For policemen and policewomen and their families, the fear factor is even more acute, especially for those living in cities where anti-police sentiments are riding highest.

This fear does call for some common sense precautions, of course. At the same time, when a person allows fear to override everything good in their lives, it's a prescription for disaster. Your fear can affect your family and friends and overshadow all the good things in your lives. It can also lead to physical health issues, which of course lead to even more fear, both for you and the people who love you.

If YOU are living in fear, let Dr. Bach's flower essences help you cope – so that you can still see the good and enjoy your life and your loved ones.

Feel5ive is the FeelBach! formula to use as an overall calmative. Containing both Rock Rose and Mimulus, it will help you tap into your inner spiritual strength and prevent your emotions from derailing your life.

Used for specific fearful events, such as a visit to the dentist, an airline flight, or an important job interview, it can also help smooth out your daily life when fear of the unknown threatens to paralyze you.

Four drops taken 3 times a day can keep you from letting fear take over your life.
