Gain the courage to make a fresh start

Did you begin 2018 with a resolution to do something to better your life? 

Perhaps you want to start a new business – even if part-time. Perhaps you want to join new

organizations or end your association with people whose negativity brings you down. Perhaps you want to move to an entirely new community and start fresh with new acquaintances, activities, and friends.

But… you’re finding it difficult to make that leap into unfamiliar territory. It IS a bit scary!

Doctor Bach’s flower remedies can help. 

Gentian can help build your confidence and allow you to believe in yourself and your dreams.

Larch will also build your confidence. It is for people who don’t believe in their own abilities, even though they may be possessed with extraordinary abilities. Larch will remove your feelings of discouragement and low self-worth and fill you with a new sense of success and accomplishment.

Mimulus is the anti-fear flower essence. It may be just what you need to take that important first step toward accomplishing your dreams and goals. 

And, since change is inevitable, yet scary, when you undertake a new adventure, turn to Walnut. This flower essence will help you adjust and adapt to those changes. 

This IS a new year and a chance for a new beginning. Do it with confidence with some help from FeelBach! and Dr. Bach's formulas.  

We wish you success and a Happy New Year!

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.

If the holiday season gives you more stress and sadness than joy, let Dr. Bach help!

While some people love the holiday season and enjoy every moment, others find it a season of nonstop stress.

For some it's simply the fact that there is SO much to do. Between shopping and wrapping, decorating, cooking, and attending parties, they feel completely overwhelmed. Those who have children in school get an extra dose – with school events and parties for kids. And of course, those who can't say "no" do come under a lot of stress at this time of year.

For others it's the stress of feeling "judged." They worry about getting the right gifts, having their homes look exactly right, and wearing the correct clothes to parties. Those who host the holiday dinners spend weeks worrying about how the food will turn out.

Another source of stress is change. Perhaps you moved away from your family this year – or someone who has always been a part of your holidays has moved away. Perhaps the dinner that was always at Grandma's house will now be served at Aunt Tillie's. Perhaps the dinner you always cooked will now be prepared by your new daughter-in-law.

Did one of these scenarios just describe you? If so, help can soon be on the way.

Fortunately, Dr. Bach created flower essences to help you get through the season with a feeling of enjoyment rather than dread.

If you need to adjust your energies to enable yourself to say "no," turn to Centaury.  You'll soon feel back in control of your own time. 

The Feel5ive formula calms general stress – the kind that comes from simply having too many things to do. Take it 4 times each day during the season and stay calm and worry free. Maybe everything won't be done – or won't be done perfectly. You won't let it bother you.

If your insecurities cause you to feel inadequate – and feel that others are judging you for your shortcomings – turn to Centaury, Gentian, and Larch. If your biggest critic is YOU, because you set impossible standards for yourself, choose Rock Water.

If change is getting you down, use Walnut. This is the essence that helps us make transitions more easily.

If you dread the holidays but aren't quite sure why, come to FeelBach! and take the questionnaire. Our experts will soon choose the flower essence formula that will put you on the road to enjoying this season.

Are You Struggling With Addiction?

If you stop to think about addiction, you know that it is not just a physical ailment. It's emotional as well - and that's why so many smart practitioners use Doctor Bach's Flower remedies as a part of their overall addiction treatment.

We don't know the reason why some people are more prone to addiction than others, but we do know that any destructive behavior is a sign that our energies are out of balance. We've somehow lost touch with our higher selves. Each of the Flower Essences works to re-balance those energies and put us back in touch with who we were meant to be.

If energies aren't put back in balance, the patient has a high possibility of failure, because the "rehab" isn't complete. I find this sad, because Flower Essences are both inexpensive and easy to use.

I think of a man I once knew. He said he had spent a month in rehab, and all he could think of the whole time he was there was getting out and finding a bar. They may have gotten him sober and "dried out" but they did nothing to cure the emotional upheaval that caused him to crave the comfort of being drunk.

Which essences aid in treating addiction? Walnut and Rock Rose.

Walnut is the Flower Essence that helps in dealing with and embracing change - and what could be a bigger change than stopping a daily habit?

Rock Rose helps us overcome fear - and we all know that letting go of habits and routine is fearful. Even while destructive, a habit is like a security blanket we can pull around us when outside forces threaten.

If you're struggling with an addiction – whether it is to tobacco, alcohol, drugs, or even food, you'll have a much easier time in overcoming it if you get your energies back working for you instead of against you.

The financial cost is small – and the lifetime benefits large. So come to Feel Bach! and get started.

Will You Become an Empty Nester This Year?

Life is filled with changes, some small and some huge. Likewise, some changes are welcomed while others definitely are not.

Many families are facing a major change this year as the children who just finished high school leave the nest to go to college. As a parent, you're pleased and excited for them, but...  the change in your life will be substantial. That's especially true if it's the last child.

You'll now officially become an "empty nester."

If you're having trouble adjusting to that change, try Dr. Bach's flower essence, Walnut. 

Walnut helps realign your energies so you can adjust to any kind of change in life - and still function in all your other roles.

Next, try getting involved beyond your home. Take those hours you used to spend with your child - or taking care of tasks related to your child - and turn them into volunteer hours for a cause you care about. You could also get more actively involved with a hobby - perhaps one you gave up when you became a parent.

Whatever you do, don't sit home and dwell on missing your child. Fill those hours with activity that will make you feel good - even if you don't feel much like doing it the first day.
