April 2025 Mama Love News

 

Woman holding Yarrow over her head

Hello Everybody,


I felt a nice upsurge of hope when the trees burst into flower here in Chico, CA a few weeks ago. If Spring hasn't arrived in your neck of the woods, trust me, it will. Hopefully, it will feel good to you, too.


My focus this month remains the same. Whenever I don't know what to write about on my blog, I check to see what's selling in my shop. And that —especially right now—tends to be a great reflection of the general mood in a significant portion of the United States and Canada (where most of my customers live). A lot of people are going through a hard time right now. So, as always, this newsletter is for you! Hope it helps! ❤️‍🩹

Election Stress Special Edition

 

Healing Political Stress flower essence droppr and unscented spray

We've had a very consequential election. Some of you are celebrating. I hope it works out well for you. This particular post isn't for you.


On the other hand, if you are one of the 30-45 million people in the United States freaking out right now and looking for help, I'll do what I can. I don't have lots of words of wisdom besides look for the helpers Mr. Rogers said to look for when scary things happen. Breathe, breathe, breathe. And don't make plans in haste. We all probably need to take a beat before figuring out what we need to do.


Here are the three main formulas I've been using this week.

This month's news
News This Month
I read that 68% of the U.S. is feeling extremely stressed out about the election right now. So I made sure to write about that this month. I also put my best-selling formulas for stress on special as a set for the rest of the year. (My Election Stress Special).

And I'm moving my Comfort & Joy dram-sized oil formulas into made-on-demand status only so I put what's left of my ready-made ones on special, too. (On time for Christmas stocking stuffers if you act fast. There are only 6 left.)

For the newsletter, I also thought I'd share some insights into two single flower essences that are surprisingly popular in my shop lately: Hawthorn and Pomegranate.

Stay Grounded the Rest of This Election Year with Mama Love!
Like most people, my mind is on the upcoming election. I feel, more or less, optimistic and yet WELL aware of the dangerous polarities present in our nation that are likely to erupt not long after election day, no matter which way it goes.
Why Are So Many People Asking for Hawthorn Flower Essence Lately?

About a week or two ago I asked for help/ guidance on what flower essence to take for feeling like I don't have the energy to do what I'm looking forward to doing/am afraid of doing in the next few weeks.  Read more . . .

May 2017 Healing Communication and Mama Love News

"A Willful Act of Resistance", © 2017 Sheryl Karas
Hello Everybody!

Hope you are having a good Spring. I did a new painting in celebration. I call it “A Willful Act of Resistance” because an art teacher who meant well insisted that a real artist wouldn’t “waste their time” painting vases of flowers. . . so that, of course, is what I did. I also think that when times feel hard or scary (as they do for many of us these days), deliberately choosing to focus on what we love or want to create is also a willful act of resistance. It made me feel SO much better. I highly recommend a similar practice for all of you: what do you love? What do you want to create? It’s probably more important than ever now. I already have a buyer for the original painting but prints are available here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/a-vase-of-flowers-can-be-a-willful-act-of-resistance-sheryl-karas.html

New by Popular Request!

I have had several requests for a formula for “Healing a Broken Heart”.  I’ve always used my “Support for Troubled Times” formulas for that. They both contain Star of Bethlehem which is great for handling the shock and trauma. But “Troubled Times” is just not specific enough for addressing the longing for a relationship no longer in your life or for accepting what has happened so you can put it behind you. This new formula could also be used when forced to leave a long time home, business, or dearly wished for dream behind.

The flower essences include Bleeding Heart, Walnut and Star of Bethlehem and a wonderful smelling blend of Lavender, Neroli, Ylang Ylang, and Helichrysum for helping to soothe and balance intense emotions.

It comes in multiple forms: oil, spray, unscented flower essence-only spray, and flower essence only dropper bottles. Just added to my Etsy shop this month. Here are the links:

Mama Love and Healing Communication Newsletter - February 2017

The Pendulum Swung Clear Off the Clock. . .
and For a Period of Time Nothing Else Seemed to Matter
© 2017 Sheryl Karas

Hello Everybody!

Happy Chinese New Year! The Year of the Fire Rooster — let’s make it something to crow about!

I have been hard at work coming up with new formulas in order to respond to the great display of emotional intensity I’ve been seeing on social media lately. In fact, I did a poll earlier this week about what people need in this phase of the post-U.S. election era. And I got what I consider to be an outpouring of response. Below I share what the most asked for requests were with links to product pages on Etsy. I do not have several of these in my regular Mama Love shop because they are brand new and I don’t even have labels made yet! I will be making the new ones on demand and putting the labels I use for my custom requests on them for now. They are only available in 1 oz bottles so far — conventional flower essence dropper bottles, unscented flower essence only sprays, scented flower essence aromatherapy sprays, and scented flower essence aromatherapy oils. Reiki-infused, of course!

If one of my wholesale accounts is interested in any of these, be sure to let me know! I can make sprays and 1 oz oils available right away (well, allow a week for me to print official labels, etc.). Dram bottles attached to little cards, though, will take 2-3 weeks as I have the cards made by an outside print shop.

#1 Request: Help for shock, trauma, extreme stress and grief. I already had one for this on my list:

Support for Troubled Times
     •  Flower Essence Dropper Bottle: 
     • Unscented Spray:
     • Scented flower essence aromatherapy spray: 
     • Scented flower essence aromatherapy oil (dram size is available):

#2 Request: Help for extreme worry, anxiety and fear. I already have one for that, too:

Releasing Worry and Fear
      •  Flower Essence Dropper Bottle: 
     • Unscented Spray:
     • Scented flower essence aromatherapy spray: 
     • Scented flower essence aromatherapy oil (dram size is available):

#3 Request: Help for being able to calm down enough to focus. One of the newest formulas already on my list is actually very good for that. 

Calm Focus 
      •  Flower Essence Dropper Bottle: 
     • Unscented Spray:
     • Scented flower essence aromatherapy spray: 
     • Scented flower essence aromatherapy oil (dram size is available):

#4 Request: Help for Emotional Resilience. The news and social media reaction has gotten so intense that people feel like their defenses get worn down almost on a daily basis. Others recognize that we’re going to be dealing with this for quite some time and wanted something to help shield them from overwhelming distress. This and the next ones are new:

Emotional Resilience: 

#5 Request: Many people are getting involved in activism and wanted help with strength and determination. I feel like this particular request had several variants and several of the new formulas that follow are for the variants.

Resolve & Determination: 

#6 Request: For more energy and enthusiasm to face the job at hand.

Energy & Enthusiasm

#7 Request: Some people are already exhausted or getting burned out:

Recovery for Burn-out & Exhaustion:

#8 Request: A desire for more clarity in terms of direction for their activity.

Clarity & Inspiration
