While sitting on a log by the ocean, I was pondering my life, and a new insight shined upon me. The OCEAN If it could talk, what would it say… I am powerful, loud, and serene; I continually dance. I move breath with the energy of life within me. I give, and I take. With the rapture of my soul, I glide upon the sand, then pull back into the whole body of water to which I belong. I intrigue people to ponder, to be grounded, and to think deeply. With each new wave that crashes against a rock and soars high into the sky, carrying its white splendor, I give people new breath, wonder, and solitude. The mass of my body is beyond measure. I am "Living Waters." Finding Balance in Life … Still Pondering; I was deep in thought about a family event that was coming up that night. We were getting on a boat to cross the ocean bay—a 45-minute boat ride!! There was a dinner and a show to be seen, and all my family who were with me were going. However, I was not excited about this boat trip, and 99% of me wanted to stay at the hotel and welcome them back when they returned! I had pondered two other times I had stepped forward onto a boat upon the ocean: Deep-Sea fishing and another time in the San Francisco Bay on a dinner boat cruise. Both times, I felt deathly ill and swore I would never ever get on another boat in the ocean or the ocean bay again!! Now, it’s been years and years, and I have never stepped foot upon the deck of a boat with ocean water beneath it!! Why? I have been holding that emotional connection or experience for a very, very long time!! I wanted to ensure I would never “ever” forget it and make that mistake again. Every time I re-lived that emotional experience, it was as if I was there. I would start to feel sick and definitely “NOT” feel in control. Now, here is a keyword for me, “In-Control!!” I cannot be in control when I am not on solid ground. And you can take that however it’s worth! But, for me, danger lurks beneath dark waters… be it physical or emotional. Thoughts getting louder; The time is getting closer, and I am starting my back-and-forth conversation, “Do I go, or do I Not go? Do I go, or do I Not go? That is the question I always ask myself when I’m not feeling in control or composed. Creeping in; While I was in deep conversation with myself, another thought timidly entered my space, which completely stopped the conversation I was having with myself!! It ruffled my feathers for a moment, but I decided I would allow it to speak. It could be a new perspective, a new idea, and it was!! The thought was, What if I took the time to ponder the thought that I had written earlier that day about the ocean, which moves differently than the earth? The earth is more grounded, while the ocean is more fluid. Allowing that thought definitely helped me to feel a little more in control, but I always have to be in Control. Just maybe it’s “Time to think outside the box.” So ... I thought for a moment, could I still be grounded with the movement that the ocean has to offer? Could I give new breath with each new wave? Could I intrigue wonder instead of fear? Could I dance with the ocean? What should I do? What if I let myself move with the Ocean? What if I moved effortlessly, swaying side to side, up and down, back and forth like a dance while smelling the Ocean breeze and being one in the moment!! Could I possibly be OK with that? Still pondering; So, I decided to try it one more time. With that thought in mind, I told myself again that if it didn’t work, this would be the last time… Listening; Listening, to my intuition, my inspiration, helped me to make a new choice, a choice that gave me freedom to move forward again. I was still afraid, but the fear was not as strong because I allowed myself to see the other side of fear, which made all the difference in the world for me. The Ocean dance charged my lungs. I could breathe deep and then let it out with each new swell that moved up and down and back and forth. I just let myself move with it. It was so peaceful, not fighting against it, that it almost lulled me to sleep. The fear had passed, and solitude had entered my soul. I will always remember this experience when I tried to hold too tight to something that needed movement differently through my body and emotions. What If? What if, is a new part of my movement in life going forward. “Choices in life can sometimes hold you back. It doesn't allow you to find that space of wonder, the inspiration that we need to find the new parts of us, the joyful and playful parts, and the healing parts that are all waiting patiently for their turn. What will it take for you to find the balance in your life?” Debra Rudd

This research on “Bach Flowers and the Immune System” can be a little overwhelming for some of you who are reading it for the first time! So just take a deep breath and try to read between the lines… You will get out of it what you need to learn right now, and more understanding will come later. Remember that “Life is a journey, not a destination” Bach Flowers and the Immune System; Researchers in immunology have shown that negative feelings and stress weaken our immune response. The number of killer cells in the blood that destroy viruses and bacteria, for example, is significantly reduced in people who are depressed or resigned. Thus it’s more difficult for these people to cope with illness-causing agents. If the negative feelings are harmonized, however, the immune system will be strengthened and can deal more effectively with incoming pathogens. From this point of view, Bach Flower Therapy can be seen as a new and effective form of psychological preventive health care. From the viewpoint of natural healing, Bach Flower Therapy can be seen as a cleansing and re-tuning therapy. Just as the metabolic waste products and leftovers from bad nutrition weigh on the physical body and can cause disease, so can psychological “waste” psycho-toxins hinder our physiological metabolism and the adequate simulation of mental and emotional impressions and responses. These psycho-toxins are washed away or transformed through the consumption of Bach Flowers. Health in an ideal state, is the harmonious vibrational balance within and between all layers of the aura and the spirit. The disease is, according to its interpretation, disharmony or the distortion of frequencies within or between different levels of the aura and the spirit. The information pattern of the distortion shows itself in the etheric level - which obeys different laws of time in the physical body weeks, months, or even years before it is manifested in the body. The deeper reasons for most diseases can be detected within the emotional and mental levels of the aura as well, where subconscious and perceived reactions to feelings and thoughts are either blocked or stimulated. This leads to distortions in the energy frequencies and hence to negative states such as fear, hate, jealousy, anger, impatience, and sadness. These act through the etheric level, first on the nervous system of the physical body and later in the organs. Bach says that the Flower Essences Open our channels to the messages of our higher self or spirit and that they act in all layers of the aura. While Bach Flowers are active as “divine impulses” reach all levels of vibration, other drugs and therapies affect only certain levels, mainly in the physical body. The aura encompasses all of the personality levels of consciousness and experience. On the trans-personal level, the higher self or “Spirit” forms the bridge between the personality and the soul. The soul's personality is made up of the union between the spirit and body. The Flowers that Bach used are “plants of higher order.” Each of them embodies a certain potential for the Soul that is expressed through its particular vibration. Each of these “Floral” Vibrational patterns corresponds to a matching Soul frequency within the human energy field. The human soul carries in principal all of Bach’s 38 flowers in the form of virtues, the archetypal repertoire of harmonic behavior patterns, ( Things that you have learned from Prominent figures in your life like mothers, fathers, friends, teachers, etc. that have helped you to understand earthly and heavenly things that make up who you are, as you choose your own Yen and Yang. Then you begin to decide where you fit in this life) As you grow and mature some of those things will change through new choices you make. The Bach Flowers are balanced differently in each of us. If for a potential such as self-confidence, there is a misunderstanding between the spirit and the body, (soul.) Intentions and the understanding of the personality, the frequency of the potential will be distorted and will become evident as a negative behavior pattern in the personality presenting, for example as a lack of trust in our abilities. The frequency of the Flower Essence “Larch ” corresponds to the potential that has to do with self-esteem. Taking Larch sends harmonizing impulses into the specific area of the human energy field that is distorting this potential and Helps to hold the positive emotion for a while and helps to keep it in a safe place for you. When taking Larch over time, it re-harmonizes and reestablishes the positive behavior pattern; lack of confidence transforms into self-esteem, harmonizing the self “chatter” into self-talk that is working together for you. In other words, the Bach Flower acts as a catalyst , recognizing the specific, blocked contact between the soul and the personality. The soul can be heard again by the personality. Where there are those harmonies and rigidity, Life flows once again. Or as Bach put it, “A person that wasn’t quite himself anymore is now restored to be fully himself.” ( Etheric) The etheric body, the ether-body, is the first or lowest layer in the human energy field or aura. It is in immediate contact with the physical body, to sustain it and connect it with higher bodies of energy. Bach Flowers help to connect the bridge between the spirit and body. Dr. Edward Bach
