Transform Your Life With Astrology And Flower Essences by Debbie Sellwood

Coping and indeed even surviving the rigours or life right now requires much inner strength if we are not to be overwhelmed by the world turmoil and difficult economic circumstances.    It is important that we are not influenced by hostility and respond only with awareness and integrity to outer conditions or situations.  How we handle our trials in life matters greatly too, as our response can shape the way things develop for us in the future and can have a direct and powerful impact on our well-being.   It is equally crucial that we develop our own inner resources so that we remain resilient and not adversely affected by current outer misuses of power and the prevailing element of fear.

One of the ways in which we can help ourselves is by furthering our self-understanding and self-awareness, and by developing our strengths so we cultivate a strong internal core, tough enough to survive the current times in which we live.   Astrology affords such an opportunity to do this as it provides us with a tool for greater understanding and a confirmation of who we really are.   The greater our self knowledge, the greater our ability to recognize any weaknesses that are not in our best interests, turn our negatives into positives and to make decisions that are correct for us.   

It is also to our advantage to find therapies or aids that can help us heal and regenerate quickly from life’s traumas, transform our down moods or unconstructive thinking, and help us become robust individuals able to handle life’s challenges.  Flower essences provide a way of not only doing this but much more.  Essences awaken certain qualities within the human psyche by touching the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our being; they address the whole person.  Helping us to let go of unhelpful habits or feelings, they strengthen our resolve, reinforce our energetic boundaries and increase self empowerment.  They can even improve physical ailments by resolving any contributing detrimental emotional or mental patterns.   Ultimately they can enable us to operate at our highest potential.   

How do we know which flower essences are right for us though?  Combining both astrology and flower essences, Centaury for Virgo, Rock Rose for Pisces is a guide to selecting flower essences according to one’s astrological makeup.  Focusing on how our thoughts, feelings and unconscious habits (for each of the 12 signs) can have the potential to undermine our wellbeing, this is followed by a comprehensive list of flower essences, offered as practical self help solutions.  In discerning our own individual body/mind messages, especially the negative ones, we can see how they can impact us emotionally, mentally and physically.    Our own personalized portfolio of essences is presented according to the various aspects of our personality makeup, so we are equipped with our own tool-kit to assist and support us on our life’s journey and with any conflicts and difficulties that may arise along the way.   This unique way of prescribing flower essences for yourself, (choosing from hundreds of essences from established producers from around the world) makes it easy not to become confused by the huge variety now available and to select which ones are right for you.

You can also use the insights provided in this book from both astrology and flower essences to accelerate your personal growth or expand your spiritual awareness.  Knowing your soul-lesson brings into focus which area of life your lessons lay.  This enables you to position yourself advantageously, where you are able to consciously direct your energy and act more purposefully.  This in due course affords a sense of fulfilment and can have a direct and positive effect on your attitude and health.

Note:  Some flower essences are available from health food stores or chemists, whilst others can be brought from on-line distributors including this site's online shop.  They provide an excellent self-help therapy and self administering is ideal, although qualified practitioners found on www.bfvea.com, can assist with more complex issues.
