Hello Everybody!

MARCH COMES IN LIKE A LION

There's a phenomena that happens this time of year for some of us. The sun shines longer, the sap starts rising, and longing to be something, to get things started—to use that increasing energy surge—is all some of us can think about. If you can't go full speed ahead for some reason frustration can set in. If the feeling of being trapped or somehow held back has been there too long... well, March is known to be "windy" month. The inner tensions need release of some sort or havoc will prevail.

But timing is extremely important in the natural order of things. The sap may be rising but it's not quite Spring in most parts of the northern hemisphere. The cherry trees may be starting to bloom here in Chico, CA but it's still freezing in many places around the world. And even in Chico, most of the trees are still bare. Something is stirring—we can see it, we can feel it—but it's not quite time to blossom and nowhere near time to bring forth fruit. Force the issue and a big winter storm will likely take out your hard work and effort. Better to start experimenting, perhaps dust off that business plan and add an addition or two, try a few ideas on for size, than to go whole hog into some half-baked plan that isn't ready to come out into the world quite yet. (How many metaphors can I use in one newsletter?! I think I'm done.)

If this description of wanting-to-go but haven't gotten your ducks in a row yet (oh God, another metaphor) applies to you, you may be dealing with a lot of inner turmoil and, perhaps, contributing to a little outer turmoil in your personal microcosm of the natural world. That's where a little flower essence aromatherapy mixed with spiritual counseling... and perhaps a plan of action to start paying attention to... could do you a lot of good.

For my part, I'm starting to develop some new Mama Love flower essence aromatherapy formulas. I'm working with a formula I'm calling "Soothing the Angry Heart" which addresses the underlying grief, discouragement, and anxiety that usually fuels anger and frustration. So far, It's doing ME a lot of good! I'm also hoping to do one for bringing forth the Inner Warrior (for those who actually need to stand up for themselves in order to take challenging steps) and one called Beginning Again (for renewed faith in yourself, optimism despite setbacks, and willingness to try again).

None of these are quite ready for prime-time yet... and I'd like to do one or two more. A couple of friends on my Facebook list suggested "Aging Gracefully, Powerfully and Well". Any other suggestions or special requests?
