Plan for a Happy Bach New Year

Do you have big plans and goals for the New Year? We hope that being healthy in both mind and body tops your list, and we know that Bach Flower Essences can help you reach that goal.

Everyone who has ever heard of Bach flower remedies knows that they help you balance your energies and get your emotional life under control. But there's more to it.

To quote Dr. Bach:

"The action of these remedies is to raise our vibrations and open up our channels for the reception of the Spiritual Self; to flood our natures with the particular virtue we need, and wash out from us the fault that is causing the harm. They are able, like beautiful music or any glorious uplifting thing which gives us inspiration, to raise our very natures, and bring us nearer to our souls and by that very act to bring us peace and relieve our sufferings. They cure, not by attacking the disease, but by flooding our bodies with the beautiful vibrations of our Higher Nature, in the presence of which, disease melts away as snow in the sunshine.

There is no true healing unless there is a change in outlook, peace of mind, and inner happiness."

It may take some time before modern medicine accepts the role of spirit in our physical health, but they are finally accepting the connection between emotional well-being and physical health. That's good news, because it means a move toward healing the cause of illness rather than merely treating the symptoms.

We at Feel Bach! wish you a wonderful 2009!

Holiday wishes for your health, prosperity, and joy!

This little pup asked if she could come along with me this Christmas Eve to wish you all a happy holiday season.

We hope her youth and enthusiasm for life will serve as a symbol of healthy and prosperous new beginnings as we welcome a New Year.

Whatever your dreams, follow them with joy and confidence, so that next Christmas you can say "Wow, what a wonderful year this turned out to be."

Now is the time to get started making your plans for the new year - so when January 1, 2009 rolls around, you'll already be on your way. Why not get out a pencil and paper right now - and write down your top ten goals for the year.

After each one, write down why you want to accomplish it. Then choose which goal gets top ranking and write down at least 5 things you can do to start making it happen. Don't be shocked if you go on writing more - once you start on this your thoughts will flow like a flooded river.

Now... which of those things to do can you accomplish this very day? Or at least start to accomplish?

Go do it! Then decide what you can do tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. You reach goals the same way you "eat an elephant." One bite at a time...

Remember, if you run into fear or doubt or insecurity, we'll be here to help you through those rough spots with Bach Flower Essences from Feel Bach!

Happy Holidays!

A Feel5ive Day for sure!

I said I was going to give my husband a dose of Feel5ive this morning before he had to face crowded stores and traffic.

Little did I know that I'd need some myself. In fact, I took it with me and used it again before we came home.

You see, I'm a complete sissy when it comes to snow and ice on the roads - and today was a doozie. The highway was covered with broken patches of compact snow and ice, and in between was just slick. The snow was blowing everywhere, making visibility less than wonderful, too.

But, thanks to Feel5ive I didn't get in a panic even once. I didn't even get scared, and that's a first!

Thanks to Feel Bach! and Bach flower essences, I had a pleasant day in spite of the weather.

A Chilly Approach to Christmas

Funny how all the other things you need to do get pushed aside when Mother Nature decides to show us who is boss. We aren't having power outages or trees broken by ice, but the temperature has been hovering around zero for several days now.

At our house we've been busy bringing in wood and checking the fire every hour to make sure the house stays warm. Our furnace quit, so maintaining the fire was top priority until today - when my husband figured out how to fix it.

It's still a priority for me, however, because the wood heat feels so much better. And silly as it sounds, I enjoy the exercise of going out to the wood pile and bringing in a few loads every day. There's something really "down to earth" about that exercise.

But... I'm really glad the furnace is working again, because I do want to get out of the house for a few hours and finish Christmas shopping. That means leaving 3 very spoiled canines home alone for the day. Since that upsets them - especially Ralph, my husband's dog - I started dosing their water bowl with "Home Alone" tonight.

Animals can sure push us around - A friend called today and said she had tried bringing an "outdoor cat" into the house because of the cold. She made a bed for the cat in the laundry room - gave it food, water, and a litter box. But boy did that cat object. Now her outdoor bed is filled with woolen blankets so she can burrow down and stay warm. I told my friend that if she gets an idea to do that again, to come and get some Feel5ive from me... to help the cat settle down and go to sleep instead of spending the night trying to get out.

Hmmm... my husband gets really wound up going into busy stores and driving in heavy traffic. Think I'll give him a dose before we leave home tomorrow...

Bach flower essences sure can make life easier!
