When we began to share our Flower Essences with people and animals back in the late eighties, I laughed out loud when someone suggested I needed a computer.

It’s probably a classic tale of many in my generation!

“Really?” I chortled, “You think ANY of us will need those things?”

I was determined all my correspondence for the rest of my life would be with a fountain pen and green ink. I probably hoped my heartfelt missives would be delivered by pony express too.

The world went on about its business regardless of my opinions, and so by the early nineties when our mail order business took off, we got our first computer. A forward thinker on staff talked me into a funny little Macintosh computer which all the men in the family adored. Too bad I didn’t think to invest in the company at the same time.

The same forward thinker behind the computer purchase set up our mailing list in a quirky way, but I didn’t really care that it was quirky because, let’s face it, computers were a fad and this wasn’t going to be important. I was just pacifying those computer nuts.

And so we have lived with this quirky mailing list entry system for almost twenty five years. My husband Jim took computer programming in college and wrote all the programs for invoicing your orders. He worked around the quirky mailing list and created an invoicing system adaptable to the growth of our Flower Essence inventory as well as the business. His systems still work beautifully. However the next generation tells me that it’s not quite enough anymore.

Oh, but I am getting ahead of myself!

Let us return to those early years when we suddenly had several of these boxy Macintoshes. We might have been goddesses in the gardens but inside, our misunderstandings about these strange computer beasts meant that any of us “office ladies” could derail all the computers in a matter of minutes. One staffer named Susan could place her hands over the keyboard and almost immediately the machine would start firing off endless loops of strange numbers and symbols. What on earth had she done? What on earth were any of us doing? We circled the computers each morning with dread. We knew with piercing certainty that each day would bring flower love AND computer drama.

If my son Ben had a dollar for every time he had to help out us “office ladies” with a computer problem, he would be preparing to retire on a mountain of cash.

Over time we learned that the first thing Ben was going to say when we greeted him as he got off the school bus was, “Did you try turning off the computer and restarting it?” Remembering this pearl of wisdom meant that by the time Ben went to college there were only one or two freaked out phone calls or emails from us a day.

Yes, we got talked into emails too. And a fax machine and a website and three more computers in a row so we could keep getting your orders to you.

You’ll love the story of the first website. With no idea how to proceed, I hired a website person who was a friend of a friend of a friend. She lived in the Pacific Northwest, about as far from here as possible, so we had an endless series of miscommunication over email and phone. The first website was very odd with a lot of floaty imagery. I encouraged the web designer to switch out these images with photos that were more representational of gardens, Flowers and dirt versus misty globs of amorphous lights. Despite my suggestions there remained an overall ungrounded feeling of the site. It was a relief when Ben took over the site a few years later when the original web designer said she was leaving the planet on a spaceship.

Throughout his twenties and into his thirties, Ben wrote code and rebuilt our website in a series of upgrades, the latest of which was launched a little over a year ago. Over time I have gotten slightly less resistant to progress and slightly more open to change though clearly not fast enough for technology or my wise children who now work here too.

These four brave souls (aka the lobbyists for the Angels) continue to nudge me to let go and embrace where the world is taking us. They gamely sort out the enormous amount of data I’ve generated about Flower Essences and creatively share it with you in formats other than green ink and fountain pens. And I thank them!

This brings us to our news! We will launch a new online ordering system in a matter of days. The system was built by Ben who studied Ruby on Rails and other web platforms in Barcelona and now brings this expertise back to us. The online ordering system is elegant, it’s efficient and it means you can go to the website and order anything on the main line up, pay for it on pay pal right then and we will ship it off to you. Transaction complete.

For those dear ones who like our trust system, chatting on email with us before ordering or sending your order written out in green ink with a fountain pen- No worries! I carry the banner for all of us, and YOU CAN STILL ORDER JUST LIKE YOU WANT TO! If you are ordering additional Flower Essences, you will have to contact us by phone or email to order these as the website won’t have a shopping cart for these. You will also have to contact us for expedited and UPS orders as well.

With this new system also comes a small price increase for our Flower Essences from $7.35 to $7.85 for a ½ ounce individual Flower Essence and from $9.00 to $9.50 for a ½ ounce combination Flower Essence and from $25 to $27 for a 2 ounce individual Flower Essence and from $30 to $32 for a 2 ounce combination Flower Essence. We have not raised our prices in 20 years, but the reality is all our supplies like bottles and bottle tops have increased in price in this time, and we must make this change.

Within a week or two we will add our 40,000th Green Hope Farm friend to our quirky mailing list! So many of you have been with us since the beginning. We know and love you! We thank you for all our years together. Us “office ladies” remark daily what wonderful GHF friends we have. We love sharing in your lives. We love knowing about your dogs, cats, horses and elephants! We are grateful for the chance to stand at your side through your ups and downs, and we thank you for being there through ours.

I will post on FB when the online system and all the changes go live. We aim for February 20th. Even after we launch, we will STILL be here reading your precious letters, decorating the office with your cards, visiting on email and doing everything in the spirit of green ink and a fountain pens. I promise!

These people are now running the website. They ARE 20 years older than they are in this photo, but you can tell from young William’s expression that even then he knows its going to be a problem dealing with his luddite mom.

PS THANKS BEN!

The electrical energies on the planet continue to rise, requiring our individual circuit boards to align with this higher vibrational rate. Flowers from all over the Earth are clamoring to assist us in keeping up with the necessary electrical shifts.

Flower Essences are one way Flowers help us even when we cannot visit with the Flowers in person. Here at the farm we are welcoming in Flower Essences from all over the world as fast as we can build shelving!

Sometimes faster!

Most recently we welcomed the arrival of forty five astounding new Flower Essence friends from Taiwan, brought to us by GHF beloved Sarah Porter.

How could it be that we had hardly shelved the new Flower Essences from December’s trip to St John and these new Flower Essences from Taiwan were here, asking to be known and shared?

When I asked the Angels and Elementals about the why of all these new arrivals, they told me that so much is happening electrically on the planet right now that humanity needs to have the assistance of all these grounded, wise Flowers ASAP.

This planetary vibrational shift calls us from an experience of self as limited to our own physical being to an expanded experience of self that encompasses the entire globe and beyond.

This means Flower Essences from around the world are appropriate tools for shifting from this limited definition of self to an unlimited one.

As we experience the wisdom of Flowers from all over Earth, we experience a planetary wisdom of wholeness. We own unrecognized parts of ourselves and move towards a felt experience of inclusive planetary oneness.

As far as these lovely new Taiwan Essences, they come from a country whose people have gone through tumultuous changes in identity, a people in flux about who they are and how they fit into the world. They are supported in this search by their Flowers. In the wild mountains of Taiwan, the Flowers exist in a state of certainty about who they are and how they are part of the whole. They know this balance of being unique and knowing wholeness. And now these Flowers come to help all of us.

In addition, for those of us in the western and northern hemispheres of our planet, it’s helpful to experience the wisdom of Taiwanese Flowers as they are from the southern and eastern hemispheres. They offer us a planetary wisdom far from that of our own backyard. This helps move us towards an embodied experience that we are not separate from anything on Earth; we are all one.

I know some consider me a naïve Pollyanna/Mollyanna when I stand in my conviction that these planetary energy changes are taking us towards a golden age, but I do not waiver in this belief. For each of us this planetary shift is an inner shift from limited self to boundless self-identity. When we put these individual shifts together into a collective shift, it will naturally transform all external behavior from selfish to selfless and will bring healing and wholeness to Earth and all humanity.

The leg work of getting these new Flower Essences ready for you is underway. While Sarah was in Taiwan, I poured through all my books about tropical flora to identify the new St John beloveds. In particular, I leaned on the New York Botanical Garden’s Flora of St John.

After finding the latin names for the new Flower Essences from St John, I began to listen for their own descriptions of themselves and their gifts. Their communications AND THEIR ACTUAL VIBRATIONS are much more important than latin names in terms of helping us. However the latin names keep everything straight so I can share with you which Flower is offering what expertise.

Now I am on the adventure of a lifetime as I get to know this astounding group of Flower Essences Sarah has brought us from Taiwan. I have been on a hunt for their latin names with some of my very peculiar books.

More importantly I have begun to listen and learn from each Flower the specifics of their gifts of wisdom and embodied divinity.

Taiwan was not a place I thought about much before Sarah’s trip. Our blue bottles come from Taiwan so I thought a little bit about this far off place but not really. In my mind’s eye I incorrectly imagined a mostly industrial island covered in concrete and good eats.

When Sarah left for her month in Taiwan, I asked her to see what Flowers were calling to come to Green Hope Farm but I didn’t imagine the response she would receive.

Life is rich with the most unexpected gifts and the Flowers of Taiwan are up there for me as particular blessings. What I am learning is that Taiwan is a special place for Flowers.

These Essences from Taiwan have opened an enormous doorway here at the farm. I am captivated by what I am learning about the wild mountains of Taiwan, its Flowers and a people deeply enamored of their Flowers. I seek a Flower vocabulary I do not have as many of the Flowers that called to Sarah do not resemble anything I have ever seen.

With every Flower book I have piled around me, I search for names. Sometimes when I seek to identify a plant, I recognize the family of plants or a Flower bearing a resemblance to a Flower I already know and love. This whisper of recognition helped me with about half of the Flower Essences from Taiwan. Then I found myself deep in unknown territory.

How I wish I could read Chinese! How very glad I am that Sarah can!

There is a grace in all this that takes us well beyond my enormous pile of strange and wonderful books for plant identification. If I fail to identify these Flowers, all is not lost. Flowers offer their gifts to us via their Flower Essences NO WORDS NECESSARY!

Whether I can slot these Flowers into humanity’s latin name data base or not, these Flowers want to share themselves fully! Generous Nature has long grounded, healed and restored us. Now the charge among the Flowers is to help us evolve as swiftly as possible.

As humanity moves towards conscious oneness, the Flowers show us the way. Unique in their strength and beauty, they operate from a place of collective consciousness.

When I first started to make Flower Essences almost thirty years ago, I was never quite sure if the Flowers knew what I was talking about when I asked their permission to co-create a Flower Essence together. Now when I meet a Flower we are mid conversation. Energies of love sweep into my heart from the Flowers. They are so present to help and support us all. All we need to do is accept and welcome their love as they show us the way to understand ourselves as one with our whole planet.

Hopefully later this week I will begin to post info on all these new beloveds! In the meantime I hope you enjoyed these silly photos from the books I look to for latin names!

It’s snowing here at the farm. Our December trip to St John feels like it was a long time ago in a place far away. However, I want to share with you some of my lovely experiences with the Flowers of St John.

St John, USVI and the Caribbean in general went through an extreme drought beginning in the spring and lingering into the fall. When we arrived, rain had finally returned, and there were many storms, quick and intense, while we were on the island.

The arrival of rain after the drought meant many plants were blooming out of season. This meant I got to meet with a number of Flowers I had never seen in my many other trips to St John. All of my other trips have happened in the months of December, January and February so I have always missed Flowers that bloom at other times of the year.

Not only had the rain rejuvenated the vegetation on the island into a state of joyous self-expression, but all life was celebrating. There were many more Flowers everywhere AND butterflies covered the island in veritable clouds of soft white. I had never seen anything like it. Everywhere we walked, butterflies rose up all around us. It was a glimpse of what the world might be like without pesticides.

Sometimes I have found the Nature Spirits/Elementals of a place to be either reticent or in a place of withdrawal from humankind. On this trip to St John, the Nature Spirits were extremely extroverted, loving and helpful. To pause next to any plant was to visit with a dear friend.

As I walked the island trails, Nature Spirits greeted me with great waves of love. They helped me find Flowers I was seeking with panache and humor. I had not been to St John in five years so being greeted by old and new Flower Elemental friends was very precious.

I particularly needed the Elementals help to find Flowers because one of the places where I met many Flowers over the years is no longer open to visitors. The Maho Bay campground where we always stayed is no longer. I knew every inch of that property’s vegetation and knew where I could find many Flower friends, but the property has passed into private ownership. We found it gated and guarded by dogs and cameras. I could only blow a kiss to the precious Jerusalem Thorn Tree I knew and loved and many other Flower friends found previously in Maho scrubland.

One Flower I knew it was vital for me to find in a new place was Christmas Bush (Chromolaena odorata). This is a key ingredient in our Wound Healing mix and a deeply important Essence for wound healing in its own right. I was grievously low on this Flower Essence but also knew I had always made this Essence from a patch of Christmas Bush at Maho.

Driving with me anywhere is somewhat of a slow boat as I am always asking people to go slowly and often asking them to stop the car so I can go examine a Flower. This is never more true than on St John. So many important Flowers grow on the side of roads, and I am always looking for them there.

I went on every last car mission because the up and down journeys over the mountainous terrain gave me much scrubby bush in which to search for Flowers.

One day descending on the switchbacks into Coral Bay, I caught a glimpse of white, the color of Christmas Bush Flower. It was a very quick glimpse, but I felt it was Christmas Bush. Every time we went up or down that road I would look for that patch. Each trip I tried to count the curves to see how far down the road I would need to walk to see if this flash of white was indeed what I thought it was. While my husband, St Jim, was happy to stop the car on most roads, this was one steep decline where it was just too dangerous to linger because of speeding vehicles climbing and descending the treacherous mountainside road.

This cluster of Christmas Bush began to send me a big wave of love when we passed them in the car. I would literally feel this love blow into my heart and fill it with joy. On our last day on the island, Jim and I parked at the top of the road and walked down to the cluster of Christmas Bush. In true St John style a number of people stopped to see if we needed a lift but no, we were just taking a dangerous stroll down this narrow road. When I got to the patch it was a sweet reunion. I asked who wanted to be made into an Essence and a number of blossoming heads volunteered.

Will’s girlfriend and GHF staff goddess Sarah Porter went on many Flower missions with me. She had a marvelous knack of noticing when the Flower Elementals were trying to get her attention. At one point, I was examining a lovely clump of Inkberry (Scaevola plumieri), and she looked up to see a blossoming Bay Cedar (Suriana maritima) right above the Inkberry. I had looked for Bay Cedar in its old haunts where it wasn’t in bloom, so I was very happy Sarah had heard it call from a new place.

At another moment, while I looked at the very interesting black blossoms of the Pipe Organ cactus (Pilosocereus royenii), Sarah noticed Psychilis macconnelliae (Psychilis macconnelliae) right below and behind the cactus. Here she is visiting with this gorgeous orchid friend.

At another moment, I was waxing on about my endless search to find Tamarind blossoms while lingering under the branches of an old Tamarind tree. There is a beautiful old Tamarind edging one of the gorgeous beaches on the island, and I have always visited the tree but never noticed any blossoms. Sarah, of course, found blossoms! As I met the Flowers for the first time after a twenty five year search for her blossoms, it was a wonderful moment. The Flowers are so lovely and unusual reflecting the wise, steadfast, steady and generous nature of the tree itself.

Tamarind has been one of the new ones that the Angels have requested we send to people this January even as I had not yet found out what the Flower Essence is for! Yesterday I got the beginning of a description that I share here. The photos I took do not do justice to this Tree, her Flowers or her Essence. Maybe someday I will get a chance to do better.

Tamarind (Tamarindus indica) Helps us stay grounded and rooted to the eternal verities during times of intense emotion and chaos. Helps us find stability, balance serenity and calm even as things explode, hurriance emotions and rage and it appears all is lost. I AM serenity.

I recently read a study in which people who stopped to smell the Flowers were discovered to be happier than those who didn’t. This makes complete sense to me. Wandering amongst Flowers is one way to experience the vibration of Flowers. These vibrations are positive ones. They encourage our electrical systems towards greater health, well-being and happiness. They help calm our overwrought electrical systems that face so much dissonance each day.

Flower Essences are another way we can receive the healing vibrations of the Flowers even when there is no garden of Flowers nearby.

Which brings me to the topic of today’s blog. It’s that old chestnut, “Why do Green Hope Farm Flower Essences have so many Flower Essences in them when Dr. Bach said to only use a couple Flower Essences at once?”

Let’s consider for a moment the world in which Dr. Bach created his body of work about Flower Essences.

What were the noises in his 1930’s country neighborhood? In his Oxfordshire office in Brighwell-cum-Sotwell perhaps he heard the ticking of a clock, the cough of his receptionist or the murmur of a patient in the waiting room. It was very quiet. The airwaves around his desk were not filled with complex man made waves of information. The world outside his office was also still. If he opened a window to the surrounding countryside he heard the sound of wind in the trees, rooks cawing, and during the gardening season, the sound of songbirds and insects. There was the occasional noise of a car or tractor. Into this quiet world, a few Flower Essences would be very balancing.

Compare this with the noises you hear right now. And what we hear doesn’t begin to encompass the dissonance we are dealing with.

I believe one of the real challenges for all of us is the immense dissonance we live in. This is so very different than Dr. Bach’s world. I am concerned about too much dissonance not too much healing information from too many Flowers.

Even here at very rural Green Hope Farm there is always background noise both of the obvious kind and the modern device kind. We all live in a much more complicated vibrational soup of noise and dissonance than dear Dr. Bach. Our electrical systems are under greater duress than ever before.

So I have followed my guidance without hesitation to create Flower Essence blends that offer the wisdom of many Flowers to ease and heal us with the very complex situations we are dealing with.

A single Flower and its Essence spoke volumes in Dr. Bach’s world. And I know a single Flower Essence can STILL be transformative for each of us. My life has been blessed with many experiences of a single Flower Essence making an immense difference in my life.

However we are also in untold situations where we do not even know what we are dealing with vibrationally or how to deal with it, where the vibrational knots are complex and many Flower Essences can help to unknot us.

This is where I am so grateful for the guiding wisdom I receive. When I go to make a Flower Essence combination, I meet with the Angels. As the architects of all form, they know just how to design the best combination Flower Essence mixes possible. Sometimes the focus of a mix comes from your suggestions and requests, and sometimes the Angels tell us it is needed. But always, I sit with the Angels to assemble the ingredient list.

Sometimes this takes a long time. I will receive a list of Flower Essence ingredients from the Angels but will know I am missing something. Sometimes I need to make other Essences or must pour over our additional Essences to find the Flower Essences that will complete the combination mix. It is like a treasure hunt that I continue until I am told the combination remedy is complete and balanced.

Together these Flower Essences create a harmonious melody singing a specific healing song in unity. Each Flower Essence contributes from a place of oneness. Individual Flower Essences never pull us in different conflicting directions.

The mixes are like an orchestra playing for us in perfect unison and harmony. A violin solo can be right for one experience of healing while sometimes we need a piece of music in which all the instruments play. Flower Essences are music too. Sometimes we need one beautiful note from one beloved Flower, and sometimes we need the music created with many different Flowers making their music.

I am grateful for the Angels creating these musical combinations. I am grateful that they make it clear to me when a Flower Essence combination is just as it should be, with the Flower Essence ingredients it needs.

Another almost literal analogy for a Flower Essence versus a Flower Essence combination remedy is to consider the experience of visiting with a single Flower as compared to spending time in a garden of many Flowers.

Let me give you a few examples of the creation process for a combination remedy. This fall we introduced a mix called Wound Healing. We made it at the behest of one of you dear people. Once it was made, I felt it was something long overdue. However the Angels said it took this long to create because we needed to make all the specific Essences so that the music of the combination was just right. There were many Flower Essence missions and many Flower Essences made so this mix could be the most exquisite wound healing music for our electrical systems. The many Flowers help heal wounds that are physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Combined together they help us get to the core of the wound so healing can be complete.

Or consider our remedy Golden Armor. This one was created after 911 at the request of Archangel Michael. I had no conception of how the world would change in terms of technology after that moment. As I have mentioned before, I thought the intent of this remedy was more in the vein of protecting us from anthrax or something like that. But the Angels had a longer view than I did. They knew that burgeoning technology and stress as well as rising vibrations would give us a lot to deal with. This remedy has many complex layers of healing information about sound protection and buffering as well as viral and bacterial protection. It supports us to be in the world but not of the world, keeping our electrical systems humming at a high clear rate even when we are bombarded with dissonant vibration.

Yesterday a Green Hope friend called Kim wrote us,
“Still wonder why there are so many remedies per essence. This is very uncommon. How do you decide to lump so many together and assume more is better which often is not. Especially since Bach for example are singles save for rescue remedy.”

I attached this information from the Guidebook as I still think it says something worth saying,

HOW MANY IS TOO MANY?
We receive many questions about the safe number of Flower Essences to take at one time. Some of the most widely read information on Flower Essences is very firm about not taking more than a few Flower Essences at a time. Many of these books were written over eighty years ago or are based on principles set forth eighty years ago. I suggest you read this literature with a big grain of salt. Just as a driver’s manual for a 1930’s Model T Ford would not answer questions about your new Lexus, this information is inspiring, but it cannot be the final word on Flower Essences or your energy system. As with the evolution of the motorcar, your electrical system is not what it would have been in the 1930’s, nor is it the same as it was in the 1980’s or even the 1990’s. You and your electrical system are in the process of rapid vibratory change. Dogma only inhibits your ability to support yourself, in these changing times as efficiently and completely as possible. Toss out the Model T literature and follow the manual for your present electrical system; YOUR guidance from YOUR heart in this NOW.

I also repeated my conviction that each day our electrical systems are assaulted by a lot of negative information that we have to manage. This is difficult for us. However, our electrical systems are thirsty for good information and adept at reading and learning from all this good information. We can handle many Flower Essences and complex Flower Essence combinations just fine, much as we could handle the vibration of a large bouquet of mixed Flowers or that garden of Flowers mentioned before.

In fact, right now we need this information. So please wallow in Flowers! Trust yourself if your water glass is pink with Flower Essences. We are in a unique moment in time, and Flower Essences are uniquely suited to help us right now.

The Angels of Green Hope Farm remarked this morning,

“This time is not a crossroads but a crossing. Humanity and the entire planet are on a journey from one reality to another. You cross from the old to the new on a bridge that feels a bit shaky, but it is not. When you feel uncertain, vulnerable or literally shaken up as you cross this bridge, remember you can and will get to the other side. The collective spiritual momentum will take you across, so do it fearlessly with confidence and conviction. The new territory is in sight. It is worth this crossing. Keep going.”

Confidence is a topic that has come up a lot recently in conversations with the Angels. To support us in confidence the Angels chose a number of new Essences this fall holding information about confidence. Gorse, Harebell from Scotland, Heather, and the Way Forward all support us to manifest this quality. Gorse helps us never lose hope by anchoring us in confidence that there always IS hope. Harebell helps us find the confidence and courage to act fearlessly and with decisiveness even when our choices set us apart from those around us. Heather helps us be confident that we matter. It helps us be confident of our place in the world. The Way Forward helps us confidently choose our direction even when the trail ahead is hard to discern. The Way Forward is a particularly good Essence for everyone right now. We are all crossing the bridge to a new reality that will remain unknowable until we get there.

The Angels encouraged me to mention once again why Flower Essences are so helpful right now.

This year has seen many waves of energy sweep the planet. As our planet shifts gears, the changes on the planet begin as energetic ones then translate into physical manifestations of change. This is also true for the microcosm of our individual energy systems. As we assimilate the incoming higher energies, our energy systems change and then our physical systems reflect these changes.

The change process has brought some wonderful things and will continue to bring wonderful things. It has also brought temporary energy glitches that result in physical symptoms. For example, many of you have mentioned that as the higher vibrations pour through your individual energy systems, you experience strange burning, buzzing and itching sensations in your hands and feet as the energies seek to move through your systems completely. Flower Essences such as Flow Free, Grounding or The Alignment Garden can help this energy move. This in turn alleviates the physical symptoms.

There is no stopping these symptoms with a chemical remedy as the situation is not caused by a chemical difficulty but by an energetic concern. That is one reason why Flower Essences are so helpful right now.

With such a big energy shift underway, much of what we are experiencing is first and foremost an energetic reaction to the energetic shifts followed by physical symptoms. These physical symptoms often disappear once we resolve our energetic difficulties with the support of Flower Essences or some other energetic tool.

I want to pause here to say that while I describe the higher energies as coming from outside ourselves, this is not really accurate. Since we are one with all creation this spiritual transformation truly arises from within us.

Speaking of energetic tools, yes, we do have A LOT of them! Having grown up in a world where Prell was often the only shampoo on the shelves and jeans meant Levis, I hear you on the sometimes bewildering diversity of Flower Essences we have. The Angels are in charge of expanding our collection of Flower Essences, and they feel strongly about offering a vast choice of Essences. Here they explain why,

“As each of you make this crossing, a lifetime of specific energy system patterns must be upgraded for the higher energies to flow easily in your systems. We want you to have every available tool to unravel any specific glitch your energy system may face during this time of transition.

Our job is to make sure that all the tools you need are there for you. We have been collecting these tools at Green Hope Farm for almost thirty years to be able to offer the most effective energetic information for you RIGHT NOW no matter how you are wired.

Yes, we know it can feel overwhelming when you look at the offerings, but we are part of you, guiding you to the very Flower Essences you need for your specific concerns. If you look at the photos of the Flowers or read the Essence descriptions in a quiet moment, we promise to be with you clarifying and simplifying the process so that you will have a clear sense of which Flower Essence would be helpful. Trust yourself now and always. We journey with you and will not let you down as you take this great leap.”
