Today's political climate calls for Holly, Mimulus, and Gorse flower essences

Every time we turn on the television or log onto our email or social media accounts, we see more evidence of conflict and yes – hatred. 

People hate people they've never met – often based on information they've seen on TV or on their

computers. Never mind that not all of that information is true. Whole groups hate other whole groups, without ever meeting any of the members of those groups.

It's almost a sickness, and it's being fed by people who like to make headlines. 

But hatred isn't healthy – for mind, body, or soul. 

The Law of Attraction states that "like attracts like," so hatred can only attract more hatred. And unfortunately, hateful thoughts result in diminished physical health, along with diminished mental acuity and the loss of joy. 

The flower essence to deal with this is Holly. Holly gives us compassion and sympathy for others, so we may be able to see past the reasons for hatred and begin to understand another point of view. We might not agree, but we can move beyond hatred. 

The second result of all the negative news is fear. After listening to dire predictions, we may fear for our future or our children's future. And of course, fear is non-productive. It can even be paralyzing. At the very least it prevents us from enjoying life to the fullest. Doctor Bach's formula to combat fear is Mimulus. 

Mimulus combats all kinds of fear – from fear that our children are not safe in school to fear that climate change is about to end the world. It also helps us deal with more common fears – such as going to the dentist or speaking in front of a group of people. 

While Holly and Mimulus can help stave off the hatred and fear, the flower essence to help bring back a more joyful state is Gorse. Gorse helps to insulate us from negative thoughts and gives us strength to hope for the best. 

Each of Doctor Bach's flower essences will help you re-balance your energies, so you can live life to the fullest without being held back or made physically ill by negative emotions. 

If you know you don't feel as physically, mentally, and spiritually well as you could, but you aren't sure which of the flower essences will help you most, go to FeelBach! and fill out the questionnaire. Our experts will create a formula that is just right for you.

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.

Hatred hurts the hater, so let Holly help you get over it

Hatred hurts the hater, so let Holly help you get over it.

The past few months have seen nothing but strife and hatred running rampant across the country.

Why? Politics, of course. Except – we’ve never before seen anything quite like the strong emotions and irrational, destructive misbehavior we’re seeing every day on our television sets.

While a few cooler heads are saying “Let’s work together,” others are trying to stir up even more

hatred. That’s not good. Hatred always destroys the haters more than anyone else, because it depletes energy and moves them farther away from their inner voices.

Sometimes, however, it’s hard to avoid. No matter which side of the political questions you’re on, it’s easy to feel enraged and hateful toward the other side. 

Dr. Bach’s flower essence Holly will help you release those feelings and get on with enjoying life – and perhaps feel good about working together to solve some of today’s problems. 

The Holly flower embodies love – the highest energy quality and the one having the greatest healing power. As much as we see hatred as a motivating force today, love is even stronger. The problem is that while every living being wants to give and receive love, when it is denied, it can turn into jealousy, revenge, hatred, envy, resentment, and malice. 

If you feel that the dissention in this political climate is pulling you away from the positive feelings of love and into the negative feelings of hate, turn to Holly to help you back into a state of grace. You’ll be happier for it – and I’ll guarantee that the people who love you or work with you will be happier as well. 

Those who want you to join them in forever railing against things won’t be happy – but perhaps you can introduce them to Holly and free them of hatred as well.
