THE COMPLETE BOOK OF FLOWER ESSENCES: 48 Natural Beautiful Ways to Heal Yourself and Your Life

Rhonda Palla-Downey

Many healing traditions, including aromatherapy, herbalism, homeopathy and oriental medicine use flower essences for healing. Ancient traditions like these take into account both the physical and psychological condition of the “patient” and work to integrate and heal the “whole” person – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This book is a great reference work for anyone who is seriously interested in working with subtle energy healing techniques to bring about a realignment of body-mind-spirit for a shift from dis-ease to well-ness.

In this extensive, encyclopedic volume of the Bach Flower Therapy remedies, Mechthild Sheffer, presents the most comprehensive work to date. Drawn from more than 25 years of experience Ms. Sheffer presents the original remedies and expanded combinations.

“Movement is fundamental to our existence.  As we move through space and time we engage I a wide range of activities in all sorts of different environments, and to do this we need a complex range of skills just to remain upright against the force of gravity. … Our brains process sensory information about where we are in space and the subtleties of our surroundings…All of this takes place at a subconscious level, and we are able to make the necessary movements to do the things we want to do without having to focus on our physical self…” from the Introduction.

This book introduces the reader to basic Pilates techniques to improve flexibility, motion and well being.  Easy to follow instructions are augmented by full-color photographs. As with any exercise program, precautionary directives are offered.
