Myths about Bach Flower Remedies
During my conversations with people and when I introduce myself as a Bach Flower Practitioner, I get to know that most people have have heard of it, have read about it, have learnt it and some also teach it. But when I ask them a simple question how do the flowers heal, they are unable to explain it . Bach Flower Remedies is a simple healing tool. . The healing power of these flowers are simple yet profound.
The first thing I heard about the Remedies is that it is Placebo - Let me explain. The flowers work on our emotions. When we take a remedy which has the corresponding positive virtue it helps to bring up this positive virtue which lies dormant in us and eradicate the negative emotion. As emotions are not measurable, we can only experience the positive effects of the flowers . It brings a positive shift in our emotions like when we hear a beautiful piece of music, or watch a heart touching movie or when we go to a beautiful serene place. This is exactly what the flowers do to us. Bring about a positive shift .
The second thing I heard is that it changes our personality. - The basis of the Bach Flower Remedies is to see the person as a whole and not in fragments. We are all mind, body and soul. When we are born we are born with the inherent qualities of love, understanding, courage, trust, patience, humility, healing . As we grow up and start to engage in life we move towards the negative qualities or emotions of fear, anger, distrust , impatience, jealousy, bitterness, manipulation etc which are the root cause of disease. When one takes the flower remedies , it brings up the positive qualities that lie dormant within us by eradicating the negative qualities thus the flowers bring us in balance and centre.
When people start feeling this positive shift , they or the people around them mistake it to be a change in the personality. Example when a person who has lived his life impatiently , people label him as impatient and start accepting him saying "he is like that" or " that is his nature"So when they see a positive equality of patience in him they think that his personality has changed . Please understand that our real personality never changes it just shifts to the negative. It is like a pendulum which has shifted from its centre. All that the flowers do is bring us to our centre. And when we are centred we are aware, we do things with awareness which helps us take right decisions , helps us be in harmony with ourselves and others . In short we live with more awareness and no stress which leads to healing on all levels.
Surely one can read books and gain knowledge of the Remedies, but it is a different experience when one is trained by the right institute. An institute which has been there for more that 20 years and a system which has been in place for around 80 years. An institution which has been home to Dr Bach and have teachers who have dedicated their lives to teach people this holistic system in the manner it was meant to be. Th Bach Centre has been training lots of people in this system since the last 30 years. The Bach Practitioners have to clear 3 levels of assessments with written assessments and case studies which are assessed by experienced Bach Practitioners after which on gets certified to become a Bach Practitioner.
So it is important to know who you seek for healing, what are his credentials. As a practising Bach Practitioner I recommended all to use the original Bach Flower Essence and not what is locally manufactured. The original flowers essences are made from flowers that grow in the wilderness in England and prepared as Dr Bach had instructed. The essences are available with The Bach Centre - UK and also at Nelson Pharmacy who are the manufacturers of The Original Bach Remedies . The Remedies are shipped throughout the world.
One can also buy the original Bach Remedies from www.oceanred.co.uk/collections/bach-flower-remedies.
Lastly please do not accept someone else experience at face value . Experience for yourself this beautiful holistic system before you come to a conclusion.
