Astrological Essence for the Month
Towards the end of his life, Dr Bach was exploring the link between the first 12 Bach Flower Remedies he discovered (The Twelve Healers) and the 12 astrological signs.
Chicory Bach Flower Remedy for Scorpios
We are in Scorpio season, the astrological sign that Dr Bach felt would most benefit from Chicory flower essence. Passionate, intense and magnetic, Scorpios are deep, spiritual and dedicated to transformation. However, the intensity and passion that enables them to dive deep into emotional and spiritual waters can lead to obsessiveness, possessiveness or manipulation if they feel emotionally insecure. If your sun or moon is in Scorpio, Chicory will be a great choice to balance your energy.
Opening To Unconditional Love
Do you need to receive lots of love and attention to feel secure? Do you secretly fear that you are not loved as deeply as you love others? Are you aware of a tendency to try to control your loved ones with subtle emotional blackmail or by giving with strings attached?
The soul journey for Scorpio is discover the transformational power of unconditional love. Chicory essence will help you experience true unconditional love for yourself and others instead of secretly expecting other people to meet your intense need for love and connection.
The Life of Nora Weeks - the story of the lady behind the Bach Flower Remedies
Over on our dedicated Bach Flower Remedy website you can find the story of the lady behind the Bach Flower Remedies. This is a story about Nora Weeks, the lady behind the Bach Flower Remedies. Her story is integral to the story of Dr Edward Bach and the Bach Remedies, and it is a story of quiet tenacity and dedication. Without Nora Weeks’ determination to preserve her friend and colleague’s work, it is doubtful that the Bach Flower Remedies and the understandings of Edward Bach would have flourished in the way that they have. Discover more about Nora and how she took Bach’s legacy out into the world.
Tips for Consciously Working With Essences…
3 Tips for Staying Energetically Aligned
Staying connected and in the flow of unity consciousness brings cooperation, collaboration, harmony, balance and peace into your life, because you are aligning yourself with what is for the highest good of all. This energy already exists we simply have to align ourselves with it and nurture our connections so that we stay in the flow.
Tips for working consciously and purposefully with the Energetic Alignment Spray
- As you use the essence spray pay attention to anything that comes into your awareness as it begins to unlock the old energies that have become stuck in your energetic system. Be willing to explore any old ‘stories’ that might present themselves. For instance, maybe there is an aspect of you that feels it might be safer not to be fully connected or doesn’t feel worthy to receive guidance from spirit.
- Take time out to connect with yourself and to feel into what you truly feel as you seek to reconnect more fully with the web of life. Allow anything that you notice the opportunity to express itself so that you can make a new choice if necessary. We cannot change anything that we do not first own as having had value to us at some point, for instance a way of feeling safe in difficult circumstances.
- Be willing to allow the flow of light and love from spirit to take you deeper into the awareness of love as your true nature and to remind you of your eternal and unbreakable connection with the wholeness and unity of creation.

How to Be Fully Present in Your Body
The cosmic energy flow contains some pretty intense energetics at the moment and to successfully ride the waves of transformation that these energies are bringing forward we need to remember to stay awake, aware, and fully present in our bodies, anchored deeply into the core of Mother Earth. Without the stability that this provides it is much easier to lose our centre and more difficult to see beyond the old patterns and issues that just need to be released and transformed. I have created this short video to remind you how to fully inhabit your physical body and to engage the flow of love and light that connects you with Mother Earth and with Source, in an ever moving spiral of expanding light that can help to hold you in balance and connection, no matter what is going on around you.
In my experience the more I focus on anchoring myself deeply into my physical body and consciously engaging the flow of light and love, the more the connection expands and the more comfortable I feel. I have also shared my favourite essence spray for helping me with this process each day. If you are feeling a bit ungrounded or destabilised in the current, turbulent energy flow you might find this short video a helpful reminder of how to anchor and re centre. Enjoy!

Flower Essences are Catalysts for Change
Embracing & Making Change - what is your relationship with change like? It can be an interesting question because at various times in our lives, we’ll all experience moments when we feel a deep inner need for change. A sense of feeling stuck and that our inner journey has arrived at a fork in the road, an intuitive knowing that something needs to change so that we can move forward in life. A feeling that we need to be able to look at life from a different perspective. Change is not always easy, but Flower Essences are really good catalysts for helping you to make those changes. Find out more about change and flower essences in our new blog post.
Auric Protection & Safe Energetic Boundaries
The Auric Protection Essence
The Auric Protection Essence is the Essence to choose if you feel over-sensitive to the thoughts, emotions or energies of others, or have weak energetic boundaries. It helps to strengthen your auric field, which makes it a helpful Essence if experience an ‘energy drain’ when around other people or struggle to separate your emotions from those of others in emotionally charged situations. It's really good if you feel attacked by other peoples thought forms, or find it difficult to distinguish your own emotions from those of others. Used over a period of time it will help to strengthen your auric field and your ability to remain balanced and neutral in challenging energetic situations. With this foundation in place it will then be much easier to focus on creating the vibrational alignment that helps you to bring more love, joy and happiness into the world.
Auric Protection Essence‘When you are energetically very open, it’s common to get overwhelmed or feel under attack from other people’s thought forms. It can also be difficult to know which emotions are yours in emotionally charged situations, and you may get energetically drained in crowds.’
Agrimony Bach Flower Remedy
Agrimony is all about your relationship with yourself. If you need Agrimony, you might find it challenging to express, or even feel, your own difficult emotions. Instead, it feels easier and more pleasant to simply ignore these complex inner difficulties and so they get bottled up and go unexpressed. If you’re in need of Agrimony you’re probably a natural peacekeeper and lover of harmony, but if you ignore or suppress your emotional self too much it can create a lot of inner tension. Agrimony helps you to feel and express your true feelings and emotions and build an authentic relationship with yourself and with others.
A Watershed Moment: E-Light November 2024
In this month’s E-Light we are looking at the grand opportunities that are being presented to us to contribute to the fast-accelerating process of change and transformation on our planet. We look at the bigger picture, the importance of our choices, and the energetic highlights of November’s cosmic energy flow. We also review how we can best negotiate energetic intensity and the need for us to keep our personal vibrational frequencies as high as we can.
A Watershed Moment
Without doubt November is an intense, full-on month energetically, and one that offers us huge opportunity as well as the very real potential for change, challenges and unexpected events. You might already have experienced some of these in the earlier part of the month but hang in there because the best is yet to come! The energetics this month are providing us with a very important choice point, a watershed moment which requires our focus and attention. This is the time to do your very best to flow with the energies of transformation and to make the choices that will feed the reality that you want to see unfold in the world around you, even if you cannot see how this is going to happen right now. We make those choices in each moment as we choose whether to respond consciously to the opportunities presented or react in such a way that triggers off old patterns and unmanaged lower frequency energies......

We love using our Flower, Gem & Crystal Essences! Here we share some of our personal experiences of using a particular Essence or Combination and how it has helped us.
This month Sam shares his experiences of taking the Emotional Body Essence....
Emotional Body Essence
Is anyone else feeling the emotional ebbs and flows at the moment? I’ve been feeling a strong inner push to work on what feels like a rich seam of old buried emotions and it’s bringing with it a new and deeper understanding of myself.
It feels really liberating, it’s fun ( sort of ), rewarding and interesting, but equally quite intense and hard work. Well I suppose that seems to be the way things are at the moment energetically!
To support this inner journey, I’ve been taking the Emotional Body Essence. It’s a Flower, Gem & Crystal essence combination from the Rainbow Light Body Essence range, and as the name suggests it’s all about working with your emotions.
I always find this a really potent combination for doing deep emotional work and releasing old deeply held feelings. Often when I’m taking it I find I’m able to connect more deeply with issues that I’m consciously working with, and at other times there can be some quite unexpected things that come up to be released.
It’s a really, really interesting essence to use and if there is deep emotional work to be done, this is a very good Essence to support you through it. It’s one that I find I need to take from time to time and one that I will often recommend when working with people needing to clear and release old emotional patterns.

We’ve been busy making some new mother tinctures in the beautiful sunny weather that we’ve been having recently. Making mother tinctures for our flower essences is a beautiful and heartfelt process and a co-creation with the Devas, Nature Spirits and the Ascended Realms. This is a lovely Queen Anne's Lace flower potentising in the sun. As a flower essence, it’s really useful for the development of clairvoyance ( inner vision ) and telepathy. It opens the crown chakra and calms the mind so it will enhance your ability to see the bigger picture of a situation. Queen Anne’s Lace flower essence is also helpful if you tend to be overly intellectual in your approach to life as it calms the mental body and enables you to make choices from the perspective of your higher wisdom.

Art is like flower essences because both are transmissions of energy. Like an essence, art works on the energetic layer and shifts and transforms the consciousness of the person who’s perceiving it. And whether it’s art or essences, the more sensitive you are, the more you will be aware of how this energetic transmission is impacting you. Soul artist and vibrational healer Beki Crowell has spent her life exploring how the beautiful vibrations of nature dissolve patterns of disconnection and she is sharing her story, her wisdom, and a process for you to receive a transmission of Beauty for your heart and your soul.
The other day RHS posted on Threads asking people to name plants that don’t have the letter ‘a’ in their name. I’m really not sure why, but it set our minds going here thinking about the Bach Flower Remedies which don’t use the letter ‘a’. Well, it turns out that 17 of the 38 Bach Remedies have no ‘a’ in their name. If you were wondering which ones they are, to save you working it out, they are: Beech, Cherry Plum, Chestnut Bud, Chicory, Elm, Gorse, Holly, Mimulus, Olive, Pine, Red Chestnut, Rock Rose, Sweet Chestnut, Vine, White Chestnut, Wild Rose & Willow.
Always Useful Essences
These are the essences that people most often tell us they wouldn’t want to be without because they are so useful for balancing emotions, soothing the mind and uplifting the spirits.

Positive Vibrations Essence Spray
Use this spray to cleanse and purify your personal energy field and as a space clearing spray to clear your living or workspace. Maintaining positive mental and emotional attitudes is as important as physical cleanliness for our overall health and well-being.
Thoughts and feelings are all energetic frequencies and those that we choose to be predominate in our everyday reality will be the ones that set the universal law of attraction into motion to bring forward new life experiences.
It is not only our personal energy field that is affected by the vibrational frequencies we choose to entertain. Those around us as well as the places in which we live and work will also be affected, positively or negatively, by our choices. Use this spray to cleanse and purify your personal energy field or use it as a space clearing spray for your living or workspace. Calling in the transformational Violet Flame when you use this spray will enhance its effectiveness.
Positive Vibrations Essence Spray - cleansing negativity & space clearing

Mimulus Bach Flower Remedy
Mimulus helps those who feel they need greater courage to face up to the everyday events of life. Those in need of Mimulus suffer unnecessary fear and worry about everyday situations, such as visiting the dentist, flying, swimming, spiders or perhaps taking their driving test. They can appear nervous, shy or timid and may hesitate or blush easily when in situations where they feel vulnerable. Sensitivity to crowds, loud noises, or bright lights are other examples of states for which Mimulus would be beneficial. As Mimulus dissolves their fears and worries those with this personality trait find themselves able to create a more positive mental approach to life.
Mimulus Bach Essence - for known fears & worries
-------------------------------------
Revival Remedy
Revival Remedy is a combination of Cherry Plum, Clematis, Impatiens, Rock Rose & Star of Bethlehem and was originally formulated by Dr Bach for use in situations requiring ‘emergency rescue’. It acts as a very swift emotional stabiliser in circumstances where there is much fear, panic, trauma, or other severe upset such as a serious accident or unexpected bereavement. It is also a very effective support for those less traumatic but still challenging events in life like exams, driving tests, visits to the dentist, presentations etc.

The Power of Acceptance: Loving Acceptance Rose Essence Spray
The beautiful space of loving acceptance is a state that is so needed in the world right now. It takes us out of the right / wrong, us / them, polarized, separative dynamic that has been so much part of our world up to now, and reminds us how to see everything from a more unified perspective, where we are free to make positive, new choices for ourselves. Holding this frequency consistently also means that we broadcast it into the world around us, strengthening the collective field of loving acceptance and offering others the opportunity to remember and connect with it themselves. Our new Rose Essence Essence spray will take you deep into your heart to embody more of the powerfully transformative energies of loving acceptance. You can find out more in-depth here:
The Power of Acceptance: Loving Acceptance Rose Essence Spray
Pink Rose Flower Essence: Transforming Deep Seated Fears
Fear is very common but it can be a tricky vibration to work with because it feels so real if you get stuck in it. It creates a very effective smokescreen that prevents you from seeing beyond it if you are not very mindful. We can all be affected by fear because it is a vibrational frequency that sits at the bottom of many of the old emotional patterns and stories that we have. Today we’re exploring the Pink Rose Flower Essence which is an excellent essence for when you feel like you cannot get to the root of a deeply held karmic fear or for if you experience general phobias or fears with no apparent cause in this lifetime.
