February Newsletter from Mama Love and Healing Communication News

Season of Healing for Women (and the World)


Hello Everyone!

Before I jump into this month’s article, I wanted to announce that my Reiki infused, flower essence aromatherapy dram oils are now being sold at The Codfish Cowboy! It's a very fun-looking shop offering a curated collection of handmade products and specialty items of all sorts on the West End of Long Beach, NY. They have lots of bath and beauty products, clothing, and gift items. The address is 891 W. Beech Street, Long Beach, New York. If you're in the area, do check them out!

Ideas for the “Season” from Mama Love

With news of sexual abuse and sexual harassment dominating the news juxtaposed with the season of love —Valentine’s Day—coming in, I have been thinking a lot about sex and love these days. And, specifically, what flower essences I might want to suggest people use (and use for myself)! There are a couple of different ways to work with flower essences that I think are important to consider. So that’s what I want to share with you today.

Ordinarily, people focus on the emotional pain they are grappling with (grief, anxiety, anger, etc.) and how to heal it so they look for flower essence and aromatherapy products that address it. So many women have been getting old buttons pushed this past year. If you have been a victim of sexual abuse or harassment, or need to confront ways in which you might be acting out and recreating negative sexual experiences yourself, you might be wanting to work with the feelings coming up around that. Please keep in mind that flower essences are not a substitute for professional counseling or even a great heart-to-heart with a friend! But as a complementary therapy, it's an awesome tool! There are MANY choices that you might consider and I’d be happy to do an email consultation with you to create a custom formula . But as a starting place, I just added to my Etsy shop these single unscented flower essences by FES, Reiki-infused by me, in dosage bottle strength (ready to use without diluting):

Black Cohosh: for the courage to confront abuse in a relationship rather than avoiding it, detaching from being enmeshed in the patterns that recreate the situation again and again. http://etsy.me/2GqsrSe

Black Eyed Susan: for self-awareness and the ability to integrate traumatic incidents you may have repressed or actively push into the shadows.  http://etsy.me/2Gp7tTO

Basil: for healing the disconnect between sexuality and spirituality that leads to addictive or harmful expressions of sexuality.  http://etsy.me/2BAMPwd

The other approach to working with flower essences (and perhaps this is most effective) is to think about what state of being you want to bring in. More love, more joy, more peace of mind? All of the flower essences mentioned above could be chosen from that point of view (courage, self-awareness, integration, etc.) But what about love for Valentine’s Day? Love for yourself, love for others? In that case, I suggest my Open-Hearted Loving family of formulas. They come in a variety of forms: unscented flower essence dosage bottles and sprays, scented sprays, and flower essence aromatherapy oils and perfumes.

Open-Hearted Loving
Unscented Flower Essence Dosage Bottles and Sprays: http://etsy.me/2EiPyNR
Flower Essence Aromatherapy Sprays: http://etsy.me/2BzFLjw
Flower Essence Aromatherapy Oils (dram size to easily carry with you): http://etsy.me/2BzNkqz

Spiritual Counseling and Healing Sessions

As you probably realize by now, in-person spiritual counseling sessions with me and my partner Paul aren’t normally available anymore. However, we do still offer sessions by phone or Skype. My schedule is changing constantly but you can usually work with me or with us both most evenings and weekends. You can work with Paul alone afternoons and evenings most days, including weekends. Making appointments at least 48 hours in advance is HIGHLY recommended!

Flower Essence Healing for the National Dark Night of the Soul

Happy New Year!

I must say that I feel renewed hope going into the New Year. Not because I think something outside will be much improved (although that’s a possibility), but because WE have changed. Some of us (many of us?) have had rude awakenings this year and I know from hard experience that awakening isn’t always pretty business. Sometimes we have to lose what used to feel really important in order to be willing to allow/create true transformation, change that has to be done. (Yes, I’m talking about politics but this applies to all kinds of challenging transformations.)

Not feeling as hopeful as I am? Well, I wasn’t either. So I’ll let you in on my little secret. I made a flower essence formula for that, and Paul and I have both been experimenting with it with positive results. So far I make it on demand only in unscented flower essence dropper bottle or unscented spray form (but if you want a scented oil or spray as a custom order I’ll be happy to discuss it with you). This formula combines Sweet Chestnut (for hope and strength in the midst of despair), Beech (for tolerating what feels intolerable), Willow (for moving beyond misery), and Impatiens (for the patience needed for events to play out and things to heal). I don’t think this addresses EVERYTHING that a person might need at this time (there are other products on my list that probably do), but this one has made a significant difference in my point of view: https://www.etsy.com/listing/582602419/healing-for-political-stress-flower

One thought that comes to mind as I attempt to conclude this little piece: after you feel freedom from that despair and misery thing, what do you want to create for your life and participate in creating for the world this year? Instead of being in reaction to outside events we cannot control, perhaps it is time go within, ask what we really WANT, find others who want that, too, and band together to get it done!

Love,
Sheryl (and Paul)
