Findhorn Flower Essences - February 2010 Newsletter
St. Valentine's Day recently passed and many of us may have been thinking about that big four-letter word; LOVE. In this article, I will be discussing the subject of Self-Love, which is not often discussed in our western culture. We often expect that love will come from outside instead of opening the doors within. So, how can we change this situation and begin to practise Self - Love in our daily lives? From my personal experience, it has something to do with the awareness of our true needs. If our true needs are neglected for long periods of time, it is easy to become bad tempered or even ill. In this instance, the child within turns off the inner source of joy and happiness (see Inner Child essence).
Self - Love starts with understanding the needs of our physical body. We must respect our bodies by nourishing them with naturally grown food, taking rest, and being aware of the energies that we pick up from books, films, music, news, etc. At times we may have to set limits in order to reduce the intake of negative elements and allow ourselves time to recharge our energy. Meditation and Yoga practices for example, can be great ways to still the mind and relax the body. Only after the needs of our body have been met can we begin to focus on nourishing our mind and spirit.
This is where the essences come in, as they are one of the best ways to achieve this. Clear Light (our special Combination on offer this month) can assist with attuning to a higher wisdom as it helps open up to inspiration and cultivates Self - Love, while Elf Cup Lichen (our essence on offer this month) helps to purify the emotional body. In addition, Eros essence can be used to nurture our physical, emotional and spiritual needs - and it now comes in a handy mist spray. In summary, I believe we need to take personal responsibility for our wellbeing (see Healing the Cause), and the Findhorn essences are one of the best tools for this healing journey.
