October 2019 Newsletter

Hello Everyone,

The theme this month is loneliness and the shyness that can lead to that. I added a couple of flower essences for addressing different aspects of shyness to my shop this month and found myself contemplating when you would use one over another. That led to me writing quite a bit about this, and then creating a new combination formula as a result. Sometimes you don't want to use just one! I also wound up updating a long article I wrote about shyness earlier. If this is an issue for you or someone you love I highly recommend that one as a start!

Wallflower Flower Essence

Yes! A flower essence for "wallflowers" is actually called Wallflower. The behavior of the plant in the wild led people to name people with similar behavior after the flower (or maybe vice versa). Read more . . .

Wild Pansy Flower Essence

Wild Pansies, also known as Johnny-Jump-Ups, are one of my favorite flowers. It helps ease shyness and social isolation especially for people who have been ostracized in the past and are afraid to show themselves as a result. Read more . . .

Healing the Lonely Heart Flower Essence Combination Formula

My newest flower essence formula addresses loneliness caused by either a lifelong or more recent pattern of shyness or feeling of otherness caused by cultural differences and life experiences (trauma and training). It is for those having trouble breaking out of isolation due to any number of factors that may have increased your lack of confidence about making new friends or participating in groups. Learn more . . .

September 2019 Newsletter

Hello Everybody! Here's what's new this month.

Scent-Free Isn't Everyone's Cup of Tea!

In the past year I have drawn more people to the shop who are brand new to the world of flower essences . . . which sometimes leads to a certain amount of surprise and confusion. The biggest surprise is that flower essences are not essential oils. They have NO scent (besides the alcohol used to preserve them) and are more similar to a homeopathic herb tea—the power is in the brew, not the scent. That’s an unusual concept to most people so, to make my products more accessible to a wider audience, my oldest offerings combined flower essences and essential oils and were all scented. But now I offer a large array of unscented flower essence products . . . which means some people have been shocked to order a flower essence spray that does not smell like a flower! (Oops! I'm so sorry.)

Of course, as I said, there is no reason why essential oils cannot be added to some flower essence products. Smelling good makes healing fun! So—for my unscented flower essence sprays only—I now offer the following optional scent add-ins at a 1.5% dilution. (Choose one of my Scented Spray choices at check out and then what scent you want. You will need to choose “UNSCENTED” for droppers and unscented sprays.):

Unscented (will smell like the alcohol used to preserve it)

Lavender (balancing, relaxing, floral)

Cedarwood (relaxing woody incense)

Orange (uplifting citrus)

Rose Geranium (balancing, uplifting, rose-like)

Patchouli (grounding, relaxing, earthy)

My Newest Product

Feeling at Home After a Move

My nephew is moving to a new part of the country today. It’s exciting but also a really big deal to move to a different climate and cultural atmosphere. Having moved multiple times in my life (sometimes under traumatic circumstances, sometimes not), the idea of creating a flower essence formula for people going through similar things is close to my heart. Even when a move is done with some excitement, it still contains an element of loss and sometimes significantly different circumstances to get used to. You need to feel connected to someplace new but a piece of your heart feels like it's been left behind. How do you start again? How do you feel at home where you are now? Flower essences can help.
