Do you trust your intuition?

Is it like a compass guiding you in the right direction, or are you feeling out of alignment and reaching for your phone to call a friend?

When we feel disconnected or out of alignment with our inner voice, doubt sets in, this is when CERATO remedy can help, to quieten the monkey mind and help you find inner peace again to guide you.

As the season changes, and the leaves of the trees turn into beautiful Autumn colours, they will start to fall. I’ve been reflecting on how lovely my summer was. Walking down country paths, foraging from our neighbours’ trees and picking figs from our garden has been part of our new life. It couldn’t be further from our city life.

What is lovely is that our neighbours allow you to take what overhangs into the lanes. We have been blessed on our trips to collect almonds, carob, oranges, and figs, and to meet the local animals. Last week we collected Olives.

As we wander the paths, I think of how Dr Bach wandered through nature looking for the flowers to make the remedies. How blessed we are to have mother nature to provide healing flowers.

We feel blessed to be in the countryside with abundance at our doorstep and lovely neighbours who attend to their land.

Autumn teaches us the beauty of letting go. Growth requires release—it’s what the trees do.” — Ka’ala

The trees are changing colours around me and to embrace autumn I collected some of the branches and made this wreath for my new front door.

“Healing with the clean, pure, beautiful agents of nature is surely the one method of all which appeals to most of us” Dr Bach

Do you love a walk on the beach or walking barefoot on the grass? These are a few experiences I have loved doing this Autumn.

Autumn in Portugal is a lovely season; the air is clean and fresh in the morning, and then the skies turn a beautiful blue. The trees have started to change colour and the leaves will soon be falling to the ground as the trees get ready for winter.

I didn’t realise how much I missed the season and the other day I read that when we lose connection to nature the Bach flower remedies can help us reconnect. I think this is so true, and why the remedies became so important when I lived in Dubai. I missed the seasons, clean air, forest bathing, walking through meadows of wild flowers as everything there is cultivated to look good.

How do you feel about your life?

Six months ago I looked at mine and from the outside everything looked good and from people’s perception I had it all, and yes, I could agree everything was great but was it enough?

Dr Bach quote “All we have to do is preserve our personality, to live our own life, be captain of our own ship, and all will be well.”

When you read this quote how does it make for feel?

“All we have to do is preserve our personality”, now that can be hard when we are so driven by social media and what we see and how we feel, the need to fit in.

“To live our own life and be captain of our own ship”, can be a little tricky when we have to work and pay bills. What we can do is decide how we spend our free time and with whom.

Bach flower remedies can help you preserve your personality by setting boundaries CENTAURY, and saying no when things don’t feel right.

SCELARANTHUS and CERATO help when we are indecisive and need to check out social media or message a friend.

ELM when it all gets too much and you feel overwhelmed and can’t move forward.

WALNUT to give you protection from outside influences.

CRAB APPLE to help us feel we are enough.

Wishing you happy fulfilled life.

Fear can show up in many ways, anxiety, apprehension, and stress and Dr Bach found five flowers for the different fears so that we can manage these feelings.

ASPEN for the fear of the unknown, when you feel that something is not right. The Aspen tree in Dr Bach’s garden is known to quiver in the wind like the uneasy feeling that’s something off.

CHERRY PLUM When you fear you will lose control and will do something irrational or hurtful.

MIMULUS for the known fears, scared of heights that’s me. Nervous and scared of communicating with people. Fearful of animals and things that scare you, night, cold callers, and getting sick.

RED CHESTNUT when you have fear of living ones. A child travelling alone, a husband on a business trip.

ROCK ROSE the terror fear or when experiencing nightmares. Fearful when a dog approaches and you freeze.

If you are experiencing a number of these fears you can combine the remedies in a treatment bottle and take them as a combined remedy. Let the remedies help you live a life of fearless, courage and fulfilment.

We have moved to Portugal 🇵🇹

“Will I continue” I get asked. I’m unsure, as I love the slower pace of life, spending time with my cats, and being in my new house and garden.

After 10 years of living in Dubai and introducing Bach flower remedies and training to people, it was time for us to have another adventure. As my husband is retiring, we thought, where can we go that has sunshine, lovely people and a slower pace of life? Portugal came up when Marlyn did my Astrocartography Map.

She told me that Dubai was the place for my professional life and Portugal was for my transformation. At the time, it didn’t make sense, but as time passed and I became jaded by city life, skyscrapers, and the glitz of Dubai, I realised that I needed to take care of myself. I was always worrying about everyone and helping them, and I had neglected myself.

City life was great, but we both felt exhausted from the noise, traffic, pace, and hustling. It no longer felt like the place that aligned with our souls. We realised we are people who love nature and like to spend time in a city but love to get out.

To help me make the move to Portugal I used WILD OAT as I knew I needed a new place but wasn’t sure it was the right time.

I’m now one month in living here and my heart doesn’t feel like it wants to go back to the UAE. I feel my job is done there by making Bach Flower remedies more known and with new practitioners to continue.

I love to wake up early to the sound of chickens and birds. To clean air and blue skies. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the season change with the leaves starting to change colour. Clear nights with stars in the sky and full moons that light up the streets.

Life is a blessing and spending every minute doing something you enjoy can be good for the soul.

Thank you to all the people I met, taught, and helped over the last 7 years who entrusted me to help them on their journey with Bach Flower Remedies. Thank you to Dr Bach for sharing this gift with us all.

I will continue to post and figure out how to practice in this new country I’m calling home.

Have you been at a crossroads and unsure which direction to take?
Growth or Safety, forward or backwards.

Which way will you choose?

I’ve stepped forward into growth. Safety was my comfort zone but it wasn’t fulfilling. I knew something was missing. It took a little while to realise, I was standing still and going backwards. By taking the Wild Oat remedy for direction it became clearer what I needed to do. It made the fear of moving forward easier with the help of ASPEN - the fear of the unknown.

Bach flower remedies can help you in whichever direction to choose and feel right, even when you are confused and swing between them - Scleranthus!

These gorgeous roses were growing in my garden in Portugal.

After attending my nephew's wedding in the UK, we took a short trip to Portugal to find these beautiful roses growing in our garden.

I deadheaded the plant in January, unsure what would grow, so I was delighted to find these. As we had jobs to do inside, I couldn't leave them outside.

Arranging flowers is my happy time and great for my soul. Flowers have the power to uplift our moods and bring joy.

The paper sample under the jug is the wallpaper I'm going to hand on the wall to bring nature indoors.

Bloom where you are planted, but what if it’s not the right place?

In nature, flowers bloom when ready and when the season is right. They dont compete with each other or wait. They take a break in the winter to reserve their energy to be ready for spring. They show off in summer before they lose their leaves in autumn and start the cycle again.

If you feel you are in the wrong season or condition to bloom, let Bach Flower WALNUT help you ground yourself and give you the foundation to adapt and grow. Being one with yourself will help you bloom wherever you are.

What a healing journey is and isn’t!

When we heal, we make space in our hearts, minds, and souls. We heal what doesn’t serve us to allow us to move forward, make changes, break patterns, and heal pain.

There are healers who can help and guide you, but this healing journey is your journey. Taking the steps along this path is your route to true healing.
