Use plant-based vibrational remedies
Based
upon the work of Dr. Edward Bach, flower
essences are now commonly found in most
natural food stores. Several companies have
branched out from the original Bach formulas.
The remedies help to relieve emotional and
spiritual blocks of all kinds. "Rescue
Remedy" is a Bach formula that contains
the essences of 5 different plants that can be
used in any kind of emotional trauma.
To
relieve a broken heart, the flower essence Bleeding
heart is advised. "Through this
essence, the soul learns to fill itself from
within, with strong spiritual forces, so that
the capacity to love another is based on the
ability to honor and nourish the Self."*
Borage
essence is said to be an excellent heart
remedy. "It is uplifting and lightening
to a heart that is heavy with grief and
discouragement."*
Homeopathics
is a vibrational medicine that is the primary
form of medicine in Great Britain and many
European countries. Ignatia is the
remedy for grief and despondence. Do not
mistake this for the herbal, Echinacea!
At
the deepest point in my emotional suffering, I
manifested a flu virus that was making its
winter rounds. I had not even had a cold in 2
and a half years! It settled in some people in
the sinuses, others in the throat. This flu
hit me right in the chest! My lungs became
very congested and infected. For the first
time since I was a kid, I was knocked flat on
my back. I was very sick!
Knowing
that I have an immediate hand in creating my
personal reality, I asked myself why this was
happening. The answer was immediate and
obvious. Trouble in the lungs, many times
reflects a state of grief, and I had plenty of
it! My heart had been broken. When the flu
virus had come into my personal universe, I
had said on an unconscious level, "Hey!
Over here! I'll take some of that!"
It
was at that point that I realized I was
literally making myself sick over someone who
really didn't care about me. I determined to
get past the fever and the illness as fast as
possible. I began to ask myself other
questions. What can I do to facilitate my
recovery on every level? What remedies are
available that might help me?
The
homeopathic Ignatia was one of the
first things I reached for. The potencies are
often confusing, so let me clarify a little.
The lower the potency, the more the remedy
works on dense physical ailments. Higher
potencies are a finer vibration and work on
the emotional and subtle bodies.

from Flower
Essence Repertory by Kaminski and Katz
I
took Ignatia-6x to help clear the
vibration of grief from my physical body. I
took 3 - 4 tiny tablets under my tongue as
often as I thought about it (4 - 6 times per
day). When my lungs were finally clear, I
switched to the 30x potency to clear it out of
my energy field once and for all.
I
know that Rescue Remedy and Ignatia
were effective parts of my holistic approach
to healing myself!
These
essences are made to be taken internally, but
you can add a few drops to your drinking
water, rub a bit directly on your heart
center, or add a dropper to your bath water.

Keep track of your progress
Keep
a daily journal of your feelings. Be real. At
first, write about how the pain feels. A good
cry or two can help to release the pain and
allow the healing process to begin. On the
other hand, too much crying can keep you stuck
in a wounded emotional body and delay healing.
So...
honor your feelings and express them
appropriately. Focus on your determination to
move past the pain. Write about your program
for recovery. Write about the love and the
beauty that are also a part of your life!
When
you have had a good day, be proud of yourself!
When it takes you a half hour after waking up
to even think of him (when he used to be the
first or second thought of the day) realize
that you are making progress. Write it down!
Soon,
you will think of him, but the pain will be
gone. You'll be too busy thinking of the new
things in your life to waste time dwelling on
someone who didn't have the capacity to
appreciate the unique and vital person that
you are. Let your light shine!
7.
Expect an ebb and flow
Your
recovery may happen like the flow of the
tides. Mine did. I would be doing so well,
thinking, "Why on earth did I let myself
get so emotionally attached to that man? Thank
God, it's finally over!"
The
next morning, I'd wake up and feel his
presence so strong I could almost reach out
and touch him. I'd be super emotional all day,
and have to blink back tears for the first
time in weeks.
Total
healing usually doesn't happen all at once. It
happens one layer at a time. All of life has a
dark, and then a light; an ebb and flow. One
layer at a time.
When
a teary day or moment appears, know that it is
normal and natural. It will pass! Acknowledge
the emotions. Then find something to lift your
spirits and shift the energy. You are
responsible for your own internal environment.
Endless
crying does not promote healing. Letting love
into your heart in every way possible does!
Choose your thoughts wisely!
How
Long Will It Take?
How
long will this program take? That's a very
individual matter. It may take weeks, or it
may take months. But, as with any goal, a plan
of action faithfully followed, will help you
get there much quicker.
So,
love yourself... laugh at yourself... enjoy
the dazzling beauty of each new sunrise. Take
responsibility for your life and your dreams
and never, never, never give up!
