Interação com o coração!!!

“Quem assistiu ao filme Avatar lembra que os Na’vi, povo nativo de Pandora, ao invés de dizer ‘eu te amo’ dizia ‘eu vejo você’.
🩵
Ver o outro é reconhecê-lo como semelhante, é ir além da superfície, e mergulhar no SER.
Significa mais do que ver o outro fisicamente. Significa ver um olhar amoroso dentro do outro, com compreensão, acolhimento e conexão de nossa vulnerabilidade, humanidade e divindade em comum.
💙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Eu vejo a sua dor.
Eu vejo o seus potenciais.
Eu vejo você e aceito tudo o que vejo, mesmo aquilo que não me agrada, mesmo aquilo que não encaixa nos meus padrões.
🩵⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Eu vejo sua Luz.
💙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Eu o vejo sem lhe julgar, sem lhe culpar. Eu vejo você além de quaisquer expectativas e projeções, pois elas podem prejudicá-lo e esconder sua identidade mais profunda.
Eu vejo você em todas as suas dimensões e na riqueza de todas as suas experiências.
🩵⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Eu vejo você, é a minha maneira de recebê-lo incondicionalmente, e ao fazê-lo, eu permito que você se veja e o receba como você é.
💙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Eu vejo você, significa deixar-se irradiar, sem filtros, sem máscaras e sem medos.
🩵⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Quando digo ‘eu vejo você’, não é apenas ‘eu estou só vendo você’. É muito mais do que isso, estou dizendo que: estou deixando de lado o meu julgamento, os meus preconceitos para enxergar você de verdade, inteiramente, como você realmente é, e aceito você exatamente do jeito que é.
Eu vejo você porque eu também consigo me ver.
💙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Obs.: Entre as tribos de Natal, na África do Sul, a saudação mais comum (em zulu) é Sawubona que significa ‘eu vejo você’. É uma forma de enxergar o outro, de aceitá-lo tal como é, com suas virtudes, nuances, e também com seus defeitos. Em resposta a essa saudação, as pessoas costumam dizer ‘shikoba’ que quer dizer ‘então eu existo para você’. Eu te respeito, eu te valorizo, você é importante para mim. Toda minha atenção está com você, eu vejo você e me permito descobrir suas necessidades, vislumbrar seus medos, me aprofundar nos seus erros e aceitá-los.
Eu aceito você como você é,
e você faz parte de mim.”

Centaury being prepared at the Bach Centre in the July sun at the Bach Centre. Made in the same way that Dr Bach and Nora Weeks would have done so.

Centaury is a tiny flower (which can be overlooked in the garden), with the essential quality of kindness. Dr Bach assigned Centaury to the group Oversensitive to Influences and Ideas.

He described it as for ”Kind, quiet, gentle people who are over-anxious to serve others. They overtax their strength in their endeavours. Their wish so grows upon them that they become more servants than willing helpers. Their good nature, leads them to do more than their own share of work, and in so doing they may neglect their own particular mission in life.”

Centaury can be indicated when, for example, someone says, “I enjoy doing whatever I can for my husband, but my best friend says I’ve become a doormat in my marriage….I don’t want to be unkind about my husband but there’s possibly some truth in that..and yet..”

When have you used Centaury? Have you tried making this Bach flower yourself? 🌺

International Women’s Day — an ideal day to acknowledge Nora Weeks. While the flower remedies bear the name of Dr Edward Bach, it is unlikely the world would have benefited from his wonderful legacy if it wasn’t for his dedicated assistant, Nora Weeks. She met Dr Bach when she was a young radiographer and gave up her career to support him in achieving his vision for discovering a simple cure from nature. She located Mount Vernon in Sotwell (which has remained the Bach Centre ever since) where Dr Bach also found his initial remedies growing (except Olive and Vine which are from much warmer countries) and completed his search for the final nineteen.

After his death in 1936, Nora and their friend from Cromer, Victor Bullen, continued to ensure Dr Bach’s work for the following 42 years before she passed away in her sleep in January 1978. (Victor had died a few years earlier.) During those years Nora continued to make mother tinctures and stock bottles, see clients, write books and sustain a cottage industry of helpers. (You can see more in the little museum at the Bach Centre).

When demand for the Bach flowers became far greater than what could be logistically managed from the wooden outbuilding in the Bach Centre garden (now the site of the seminar room and cafe), Nora reconnected with Nelsons (homeopathic manufacturer and pharmacist) making a business arrangement where they would set up and arrange all the bottling of stock bottles and distribution of the 38 Bach flowers and Rescue Remedy. By doing so Nora enabled the global reach of the remedies. That relationship continues to this day.

Nora Weeks was apparently a Water Violet personality type, perceptive, dignified, private and committed to maintaining the integrity of the Bach flower system of healing as established by Dr Bach. She trained Nickie Murray and her brother John Ramsell, who in turn trained his daughter Judy Ramsell Howard. Dr Bach’s legacy is very much alive, supported around the world by the many thousands of Bach Foundation Registered Practitioners, teachers, advocates and users of the system.

Nora was a remarkable woman who nurtured and kept alive Dr Bach’s vision of ‘the medicine of the future’.🌺

Gloomy? In the northern hemisphere as the daylight hours become shorter and the night draws in sooner, it’s not unusual to begin feeling gloomy. While the Bach flower Walnut might be one remedy to consider if feeling overly influenced by the external environment, you might also want to look at Mustard.

In the Twelve Healers (available as a free download from the Bach Centre website), Dr Bach describes Mustard (which is in group Not Sufficient Interest in Present Circumstances) as:

‘Those who are liable to times of gloom, or even despair, as though a cold dark cloud overshadowed them and hid the light and the joy of life. It may not be possible to give any reason or explanation for such attacks. Under these circumstances it is almost impossible to appear happy or cheerful.’

So while someone in a Mustard state might be getting through their day by doing what has to be done, it can be a supreme effort. In the heaviness of Mustard states there may be an inherent profound sorrow that has never been addressed. It just sits there, greying the perspective on life and will surface as gloom, seemingly out of nowhere.

While taking Mustard will help in what is a transitory mood (even if it feels like it’s going on for rather too long), the underlying emotions that could be stimulating that state can be addressed by creating a bespoke mix. Reflect on what else you are feeling that may arise from a past situation (perhaps, for example, a loss, or a significant change in your life which you’ve not processed) and match those feelings to specific Bach flowers (scroll the photos in this group to find the overview chart of the 38), also identify your Bach flower personality type and adding those with Mustard you may open the door to discover what needs to heal on a deeper level.

What are your experiences of Mustard? 🌺

Gratidão!!!

Tomorrow, the 24th September, was Dr Bach’s birthday in 1886 in Birmingham, England.

Dr Edward Bach trained at Birmingham University and University College, London where he qualified in 1912. Though he applied himself to his books he spent more time on the close study of every patients and proved to himself many interesting facts about diseases. One conclusion he arrived at was that the same treatment did not cure the same disease. He decided that the personality of the patient was of more importance than the bodily condition although, of course, this could not be ignored. Years of recording his studies of individuals, together with his extensive knowledge of an original research into bacteriology, led him 20 years later to discover a new system of medicine. In 1914 he was told he only had 3 months to live. He concluded that it was the awareness of a purpose in his life that brought him back to health, as he lived for a further 22 years. We've much to be grateful for in Dr Bach's enduring legacy. 🌺

Tristeza profunda; períodos de melancolia surgem e desaparecem sem uma causa perceptível, a chamada "nuvem negra". A energia do Floral ajuda clarear o motivo, a causa da tristeza que está no inconsciente. Traz alegria para viver a vida plenamente.

Eliminar Culpa !!1 Entenda o processo!🌹💓💥

The blame-shame-game….. There seems to be an ever increasing shift in attitudes toward shaming and blaming those who may not, for example, have the same opinions, lifestyle or belief system as those dishing out the criticisms. This can become extremely divisive in society and be experienced as personal attacks by those on the receiving end. No wonder they may struggle to hold onto a robust sense of self-worth.

Feeling ashamed to make ones own life choices, to be set apart from others because of those choices and to then feel less than, is not how we build an emotionally healthy world.

Pay attention to the news, notice the language that is used by the newsreader, or when you read an article: take heed of the nuances of blame and shame. Catch yourself if you find that you are adopting the same tone, similar bias in your interactions with anyone who does not hold your view. Test the veracity of your own opinions and ask whether your understanding and compassion for others could do with some attention. We cannot know anyone else’s life experience, we have not travelled their path.

Judgements abound (as mentioned in the post a few days ago about Beech), and where there is judgement it will create blame and shame. Pine is such an important Bach flower if you even have a glimmer of feeling ashamed for making a choice that you feel is resonant. And if self-doubt creeps in, Cerato will help too.

What are your experiences of Pine emotions? 🌺

When circumstances and decisions outside of our personal control dictate how we live our life, it can make it difficult to cling onto hope and we may become despairing. (Gorse, Sweet Chestnut). Perhaps fear also sneaks into the equation, which is too often amplified by the information that we might be subjected to during the ensuing days and weeks. (Mimulus, Aspen - just two of the fear remedies and perhaps Walnut to be less influenced...)

I feel that there is an imperative to remain centred, grounded and mindful, to tap into our intuition, reawaken that potential and use it wisely. (E.g. Clematis, Cerato, Vervain). When we acquire an inner stillness, we are less vulnerable to being compromised by the chaotic energy that is impinging on our lives. The Bach flowers will help you find that peace of mind and thereby support your well-being. 🌺

Sitting in traffic or crammed into a bus or train is not an ideal way to start and end the day - lots of emotional buttons can be pushed. What stressors do you remember from that? Which Bach flowers helped you cope? Yet working from home can be all-consuming, bringing different stressors, and the boundaries between home and work disappears. What changed in your Bach flower mix?

Some companies are saying they’re going to keep flexible working - perhaps 2 out of 5 days in the office and then 3 at home. Whereas other companies want their employees back full-time. Either way, more adjustment is required and our emotions don’t always adjust as flexibility as we (or the boss) might expect.

The loss of structured boundaries that might have happened with you working from home, may mean you now have to acquire new habits. Walnut and Chesntut Bud could be helpful Bach flowers….

What other Bach flowers do you think might help you make that transition to having work-life balance?🌺

I’ve been reflecting on the intolerance that seems to be even more pervasive these days. Perhaps it has always been like that and I haven’t noticed it so much. I think that it might be amplified by all the uncertainty and the feelings of not having individual control over imposed external factors. As a result any intolerance is projected onto various scenarios. As a consequence, criticisms and judgements feel as if they are ever present. Whether it’s within ourselves or between families, communities, public opinion, political arenas…it’s everywhere.

Intolerance is divisive and can be corrosive undermining the sense of self and any collective spirit of goodwill. It’s as if compassion is then cast aside. Learning to be non-judgmental and yet discerning is not easy. We all have judgements about one thing or another, however before we unload our intolerance it would be worthwhile to try and pause and to imagine — with compassion — standing in the shoes of someone holding a different perspective. We cannot know their story, their pain, their fears, their soul purpose. What we can do is create harmony between our own soul and personality and find the positive Beech within, which will help us find and demonstrate compassion.

Dr Bach described the Bach flower Beech as “for those who feel the need to see more good and beauty in all that surrounds them. And although much appears to be wrong, to have the ability to see the good growing within. So as to be able to be more tolerant, lenient and understanding of the different way each individual and all things are working to find their own perfection.”

I’m sure we would all like to experience more of what is beautiful in life - the tangible and intangible - and Beech will help you do so. It will take pressure off you (it’s very tiring being intolerant) and will certainly take pressure off any interactions you have with the world.

What are your experiences of Beech? 🌺

The photo is of a circular Beech grove (with a fairy circle in the middle of it 🧚‍♀️) at Compton Verney - the grove stands apart from other trees and is rather majestic and yet is still part of the collective splendour of the estate.
