    FEP63 Cultivating your Power of Discernment

    FEP63 Cultivating your Power of Discernment

    Misinformation, Disinformation, Propaganda, Artificial Intelligence, Deep Fakes, Brainwashing, Phishing, Spam, Scammers, PsyOps, Cults, and sleazy Marketing, oh my!
    There’s a war at play for our attention, our thoughts, our beliefs, and of course our money – whether it's just an advertisement to buy a product or something more complex with higher stakes. 
    It’s crucial now more than ever to cultivate skills of discernment, to be able to listen to that voice inside that raises a flag on what we see and hear. Yet, the daily practice of this can breed skepticism and distrust that may block the flow of life energy. 
    How can flower essences help us with this practice in a healthy way, so we can navigate and survive these times?

    FEP62 Deep Flower Essence Integration with Tracy O’Meara Smith

    FEP62 Deep Flower Essence Integration with Tracy O’Meara Smith

    Meet Australian Flower Essence Practitioner Tracy O'Meara Smith! 
    Tracy combines Flower Essence Therapy with a gentle and holistic form of bodywork (Bowen Therapy), and through this integration guides clients through periods of profound inner transformation, crisis, and pain. She empowers individuals to trust their intuition, act on newfound insights, and discover effective ways to cope, live, and ultimately be.
    Well-versed in the Australian essences, Tracy was recently certified by the Flower Essence Essence Society through the online Practitioner Certification Training Program taught by Ruth Toledo Altschuler.  
    Our conversation spans her profoundly connective experience of participating in an Aboriginal flower pit ceremony, how the FES training up-leveled her understanding of flower essence therapy, and the deep integration that bodywork brings to the process.

    FEP61 The Flower Essence Renaissance with Ruth Toledo Altschuler

    FEP61 The Flower Essence Renaissance with Ruth Toledo Altschuler

    Ever wonder how we got from Dr. Bach’s research to where we are today? In the late 1970s and 80s there was a simultaneous explosion of new flower essences being discovered, researched, and produced around the world. Yet, this “second wave” of producers didn’t initially know about one another until the first international conference was held.
    Ruth Toledo Altschuler came on the scene just as these gatherings began to happen, and she became a major importer of essences into Brazil at that time. In this episode, we have the honor of hearing her stories and adventures — how she met the people and visited the places of the FES, Alaskan, Australian essences, and more, in these early days of the post-Bach flower essence renaissance.  
    Join us for this rare treat and glimpse into the modern history of flower essences.

    FEP59 Feminine Empowerment with Flower Essences

    FEP59 Feminine Empowerment with Flower Essences

    We went to the movies! And saw Barbie! This was a rare treat for us, as we live on opposite sides of the county. We laughed so hard, then had a great chat about it during lunch, and we knew right away we wanted to discuss some of the themes in our next podcast.
    We address some typical challenges experienced by those of us not at the top of the patriarchy:
    constant feelings of not being enough and having to work twice as hard to get less
    feeling obligated to do more for others than for ourselves and letting our self care suffer
    being too "nice" and putting on a happy mask to appease those with more power
    We talk about essences for these states and to boost a general feeling of empowerment.
    There's no spoilers except for a certain kick-ass monologue that we just had to repeat. But if you haven't seen the movie, go take some self-care time and do it!
