Hello Everybody!

This month's news

A Month Devoted to Information Sharing I was a writing fool this past month! I was fretting that I wasn't getting around to sharing much about flower essences or spiritual growth, or anything. Next thing I know I barely stopped. I was mostly inspired by the news or the emotional tenor of my Facebook newsfeed (how many people are angry now or freaking out about the coronavirus or?). So that's what I wrote about -- hope you find it helpful!

Coronavirus and Immune System Support Worried about the coronavirus? You’re not alone! Because it is spreading much faster than most and has a long incubation period that means people could be spreading the virus long before they know they are sick. That's got the world’s medical community in a bit of a panic because with so many people affected, a lot are going to die (even if your average healthy person is unlikely to be one of them). How can you improve your ability to stay healthy? Read more . . .

Anger and the Flower Essences that Address It In the Bach flower system of healing as well as in many forms of conventional psychotherapy, anger is thought of as a "secondary emotion." This could be debated, but the thinking is that anger is typically used to cover up or respond to a state that is more difficult to face, like fear, shame, or grief. Therefore, choosing a flower essence to address anger can be challenging. There isn't just one specifically for that unless you also can identify the emotions that trigger it. So let's take a look at that. Read more . . .

Mountain Pride Flower Essence for Strength of Action in Alignment with Spiritual Purpose After writing my article about anger yesterday, I kept thinking about its helpfulness in inspiring people to stand up to injustice and speak out or take some other action. And yet I know without a doubt that a large number of people reject the notion of anger as having any validity at all. (I know I'm not a fan!) And beyond that, there are many spiritual traditions that encourage people to let go of anger and seek peace. A lot of us prefer that path. So what do you do with your spiritual self if you need to be forceful and not be torn off your path? Read more . . .

February 2020 News from Mama Love

Happy February This weekend was Groundhog Day, also known as Imbolc or Candlemas. It's the time halfway between winter solstice and the spring equinox that in old times was thought to herald in Spring. Almond trees in Chico and other places in the world actually start to bloom at this time. But I think of it as the time when the seeds underground start to germinate. That's also a metaphor for germinating the seeds of your soul or of your heart that you want to see bloom later in the year. Other people talk of going within to look at and gestate what you wish to give birth to, and that's interesting to me because I've been experimenting with flower essences, Fig and Apple Blossom, that are definitely related to that! They're new to my shop this month and I wrote blog posts about my experiences with both.

Going on a Spiritual Journey with Fig Flower Essence Sometimes working with flower essences is not a nice neat process of choosing one based on symptoms you want to overcome, taking it a few weeks and you're cured! "Cured" isn't even the right word but if you wanted the symptoms gone and that's what happens, well, that's how it feels. But, really, I think that in most cases a more profound set of transformations transpires. You shift a way of thinking, gain a new perspective, feel inspired to do something different, or simply let go of how you've been handling your feelings. And sometimes . . . Read more
