    FEP71 Connecting to the Unseen World with Help from Flower Essences

    Recorded during the liminal time of year when the veil between the worlds is thin (Halloween, Samhain, Day of the Dead), Rochana and Kathleen discuss how we connect to the unseen — plant devas, our dearly departed, ancestors, angels, and spirit guides.  Animism, a belief that spirit is alive in everything, is a basic principle of making flower essences as we view it as a co-creative activity between ourselves and the spirit of the plant.   We don't need to turn to psychedelic plant medicines to connect with spirit beings. Flower essences can help us open to spiritual connection, practice discernment, and invoke protection on our journeys. Join us for this interesting conversation as we bring in some of our favorite plant spirit helpers.  Essences discussed:  Angelica Hairy Angelica Forget-Me-Not Hound’s Tongue Mountain Forget-Me-Not Yarrows Siberian Yarrow Black Tourmaline Hematite Rainbow Hematite Guardian Purification St. John’s Wort Mugwort Queen Anne’s Lace   Full show notes and transcript on the Flower Essence Podcast website. 🌸 The Flower Essence Podcast is hosted by Rochana Felde and Kathleen Aspenns of The School for Flower Essence Studies, and additionally supported by our wonderful patrons and listeners like you. ✅ Join our PATREON community to help with expenses and get some perks too! ❤️ Like this episode?

    In this episode we dive into the concept of life purpose, what that means, and how to uncover and pursue it with support from Nature and the flower essences. We talk about the Japanese concept of Ikigai to look at the different pieces that come together to inform an overall sense of purpose, how to center ourselves, listen to our inner wisdom, and embody the guidance coming in from higher realms.

    FEP68 Calming & Soothing the Nervous System

    This episode is an excerpt from an upcoming course we’re working on, Foundations in Flower Essence Therapy, which will be available from the School for Flower Essence Studies in early fall 2024.   We talk about the importance of using calming and centering essences when beginning to use essences for ourselves and others. It’s a really good first step, and sometimes all that’s needed. There are times we may want to skip over this and go right to essences that work with deeper challenges, but we’ve seen time and again the value of starting with calming and centering approaches to help the nervous system feel safer and more embodied.  Essences discussed:  Star of Bethlehem Lavender Chamomile    Vervain Corn Yarrow Pink Yarrow   Full show notes and transcript on the Flower Essence Podcast website. 🌸 The Flower Essence Podcast is hosted by Rochana Felde and Kathleen Aspenns of The School for Flower Essence Studies, and additionally supported by our wonderful patrons and listeners like you. ✅ Join our PATREON community to help with expenses and get some perks too! ❤️ Like this episode?
