&lt;br/&gt;I have made other essences with astrological timing since then:  Lilac, Filaree, Shepherd's Purse, Buttercup and recently Blue Lupine!  I have SO many more I want to make this summer too!  Thought I would share, guess I am excited hehehe!

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;I've been working with flower essences for awhile, mostly with dogs. I've run across a specific issue that I wondering if I can help with essences (doing acupressure and reiki already). 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This dog has resource guarding behaviors in general, but he seems to be disconnected from his tail and will guard from it too (as if doesn't belong to him - though he doesn't like people touching it either, so he does feel it).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The essences he's on right now are: Cherry Plum, Indian Pink, Snapdragon, Poison Oak, Mallow, and Baby Blue Eyes.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Does anyone know of a remedy that might help with this specific aspect of disassociation from his tail?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Repertories really don't cover this, at least the ones I have, it's such an unusual condition that I feel it needs a reinterpretation.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For example, I was looking at Echinacea, Arnica, and Rosemary.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I would love to hear anyone's thoughts on this.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;the flowers themselve resemble cherry and plum, maybe even strawberry

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Improper "Big Pharma" Influence in Medicine is VERIFIED!
&lt;br/&gt;This is a BIG step in the right direction for health care in the USA! It has been no secret, but no one was talking about it since the monetary benefits that many doctors are receiving from these companies made this unlikely. I mean - if you were the type to only care about money (which is why many become doctors in the first place), wouldn't you want a free trip to Cancun by putting other people on basically unproven and even harmful chemical substances?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Catherine D. De Angelis, MD, MPH and Phil B. Fontanarosa, MD, MBA have submitted this timely (and likely unwelcome) article into the April 16, 2008 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), entitled "Impugning the Integrity of Medical Science - the Adverse Effects of Industry Influence."
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What is even more awesome is that this was broadcast on the same day on the morning edition of Talk Radio's "Paul Harvey" show, so this information has come to the attention of many Americans today!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am happy to see that some doctors do in fact have some integrity. This may also be an opening for safer alternative methods to be approved by the AMA for doctors to use and not feel like they will have their medical licensing taken away if they recommend a proven herbal remedy (as an example) instead of the new designer drugs of the day. I hope this allows them the courage to step forward now that the door has been opened!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We can help by showing this to our medical providers (if you have those) this article, and telling them about this, they can maybe take additional steps as doctors to become more able to practice alternative and natural techniques without risking their careers. Also, tell your friends in any way you can, so that they can demand alternative therapies be implemented or they will go elsewhere now that this article ought to free up other practitioners to use these methods. This also provides some validation for Alternative practitioners who have known about these dangers all along. Health care freedom (and responsibility) is up to all of us - please spread the message!

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;The two things that I am finding that are really important to me is to become fully present and to have my energy bodies fully integrated. Maybe I am dealing with karmic issues that pull me out of the present, but I'm sure there are other factors as well. But I want to be present with all of my bodies and have them working together and communicating well. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The other thing I'm working on is being able to handle energy. It feels like I'm too open for my circutry. Maybe my circutry got kind of fried with psychadelics. But I can catch a wave of energy and it will send me into orbit. I would rather be able to process it and hold it and stay here on earth. I also want to be able to contain the spiritual energy I am cultivating. I seem to let it go. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Any thoughts on flower essences, etc appreciated.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;I started taking the crab apple essence 3 days ago, 4 drops 4 times/day and I'm actually feeling worse from it.  I feel hungover, hypoglycaemic, brain-fogged, and exhausted.  Is this just part of the "healing crisis" that is sometimes talked about in homeopathy?  Should I keep taking them?  How long should I expect to wait until I start making positive gains?  I can understand giving the medicine a chance to do its work, but I really can't afford to be tired and out-of-it for more than a week unless I know for sure that it's going to pay off.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I had a similar reaction to agrimony, only I got a very stiff neck.  I thought it might be part of the healing process, but I really couldn't deal with the tension anymore, so I went off the stuff. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Can it be that I'm simply taking something I don't need and so I'm getting negative symptoms?  Curiouser and Curiouser.. I really don't have any clue.  Give me one.&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Hello there,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am new to this tribe. Just joined today.....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I did a flower essence therapy last year for about 3 months and I must say it was phenomenal. I did not realize it at that time how subtly it was working for me in my healing process. But I had amazing clearings and shedding of the negatives in my healing process.
&lt;br/&gt;For some reason unknown to me, I did not continue with it later.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Subsequently, I became fascinated with flowers and their centers and start photographing every flower that came in my vision. I am still in that phase, of trying to capture the beauty of flowers on my camera. And more recently, an astrologer guide suggested to me that the best therapy for me has to do with flowers.
&lt;br/&gt;All hands pointing in 1 direction.......
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;So here I am on this tribe.
&lt;br/&gt;I am in the SF Bay Area at the moment and seeking Flower Essence therapist for a consultation and ongoing work.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If anyone has a personal experience with a therapist or suggestions/recommendations, I welcome them.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I did think of trying flower essences by myself. I am not sure how successful that would be for me.
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I have been diagnosed borderline bi-polar type 2, and have been medicated to a high degree of success. However, I do still have ocassional breakthroughs of depression, anxiety, lack of mental focus, and confidence issues with tendencies towards self-isolation. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I've recently begun using Rescue Remedy with great success to help stem my incessant worrying, and some muscle testing has revealed that my other remaining symptoms mentioned above could be addressed to a great degree with flower essences.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What are some suggested essences or blends?

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'm new here, nice to meet you.  I've been studying herbalism and holistic health for several years, and am now delving into the realm of flower essences.  I am wondering if any of you make your own essences, and if so, do you have any tips or ideas?  I feel inclined to make my own out of herbs and flowers from my garden...using each one for the emotional spirit I associate with them.  I have some issues with anxiety, depression and sexuality, and some of the flowers/herbs I am drawn to are Lemon Verbena, Rose, Blackberry, and Sage.  Do those associations make any sense, or should I be consulting a comprehensive source?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks!

&lt;br/&gt;I don't know anything about any other types of flower essences so if anyone has any info on Australian Bush Remedies or the Chilean Flower Essences, I'm most interested to learn about them.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In some ways this is very challenging for me as I feel that Dr Bach's system is complete and nothing else is needed. However, one must keep a flexiblilty of mind which is why I'm here.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Best wishes,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Kath&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Does anyone have experience with the Chilean Deep Forest Essences (Esencias del Bosque Profundo)? I just took an amazing workshop last week and so far I'm in love with them! They're gathered deep in Chilean Patagonia, in the planet's most ancient temperate rainforests, Very powerful and very wise! I'd love to find out if any of you have experience with them...

    <title>FDA using legal trickery to control and eliminate alternative medicine.  Action needed by April 30.</title>

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;The FDA is claiming regulation rights on ALL products recommended by alternative health care practitioners.  All herbs and supplements would be defined as untested drugs.   This would include flower essences.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If they succeed, they could ban or require prescriptions for vitamins, minerals, amino acids, EFAs, enzymes, probiotics, protein powder, herbal or homeopathic remedies, basically everything on the shelves at your local health food store.   
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Here is the message from Dr. Rima Laibow of the Natural Solutions Foundation, who has been valiantly leading the fight against implementation of Codex Alimentarius:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There is a crisis in health freedom.  On April 30, 2007 the FDA will close the public comment period on a "Guidance" which will classify every alternative practice as medicine so that only licensed physicians can carry out the procedure AND vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc., will suddenly become "untested drugs" which will be forbidden.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Bad?  Real Bad!  But public outcry can stop this assault on your health and your freedom.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Spread the word!  Tell everyone in your Circle of Influence, professionals, alternative practitioners, nutrient and herb companies, everyone!  Let them know how important their participation is to make sure the FDA backs off from this repressive course.

&lt;br/&gt;http://www.fda.gov/OHRMS/DOCKETS/98fr/06d-0480-gld0001.pdf
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you don’t have time to read it, here is my summary:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;*  The FDA is, in fact, attempting to claim “regulation rights” to every sort of alternative healthcare modality, in five major categories:
&lt;br/&gt;-	biological-based practices (plant- or animal-derived extracts) (would include herbs and homeopathics, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids, proteins, pre-biotics, pro-biotics, “whole diets,” “functional foods”) 
&lt;br/&gt;-	energy medicine (both machine- and human-generated)
&lt;br/&gt;-	manipulative and body-based practices (any hands-on bodywork)
&lt;br/&gt;-	mind-body medicine (specifically includes meditation, yoga, spirituality!)
&lt;br/&gt;-	“whole medical systems” (e.g., Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, Naturopathy).  
&lt;br/&gt;*  The FDA is, in fact, attempting to claim “regulation rights” to ANY products or devices used in the provision of ANY of these therapies if any health benefits are claimed.
&lt;br/&gt;*  There is language that would define all untested herbs as drugs or “new drugs.”  
&lt;br/&gt;*  There is specific language that would define vegetable juice as a drug IF therapeutic benefits were claimed.  
&lt;br/&gt;*  There is language that would claim regulation rights to any food additives (such as botanicals or enzymes), unless they were commonly used in foods prior to January 1, 1958, or have since been scientifically tested safe.  
&lt;br/&gt;*  There is language that would classify the bacteria in probiotics in the same category as vaccines and viruses, and therefore require a license to transport them across state lines.
&lt;br/&gt;  
&lt;br/&gt;~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here’s what Dr. Jon Barron has to say about FDA regulating supplements and therapies:

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sounds wacky, but Mike Adams has backup for his statements:  
&lt;br/&gt;New FDA Guidelines Threaten Religious Freedoms:  Holy Water could be regulated as “drugs” and rosaries as “medical devices.”

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;I just finished taking Radiata del Desierto (ARGYLIA RADIATA of the Chilean Desert essences) which is a very powerful flower for detox, meant to expel any latent yucky stuff that's been stored in the body... Anyway, everything went fine until yesterday when I finished my drops and suddenly felt like CRAP! I mean awful... A lot like when I was a kid and contracted dengue fever: bodyache, nasty cough, feeling really really really tired (so much I couldn't sit up for more than a couple minutes). It was horrendous! Today I'm feeling a bit better, although I have a really runny nose (clear fluid, so I think it's not infectious). The weird thing is I didn't have a fever but I was sweating like mad and drank at least a gallon of water. I asked with a pendulum if the essences had to do with it, and apparently so. I assume my detox is pulling out the last bits of nastys that I've stored around, and although it's a difficult process I actually feel how my body's cleaning out and my skin is getting clearer! Has anyone had an experience like this? Any reccomendations on how to (or not) help it pass quicker??&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Hi
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Not sure where to post this so I'm starting here.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am a female Reiki and Herbal Massage Practitioner and Lifestyle Consultant.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am restarting my practice after a few years break. (marriage, travel, study, etc.)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Seeking fellow therapeutic, alternative medicine, beauty practitioners, energy medicine, lifestyle consultants who would like to join energies and lease a nice multi room apartment in the Haight / Cole neighborhoods for session rooms. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I also have web and graphic design and marketing experience and by pooling resources and skills we could co-create a profitable spa like healing and relaxation oasis.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Licensed and Unlicensed are welcome for certain practices where legally appropriate, but must follow hygiene, presentation, allergy, and safety guidelines.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Looking for people who have funds to pool for deposits, rent in advance, advertising etc.
&lt;br/&gt;Rough estimates of costs and commitment per practitioner:
&lt;br/&gt;Suggested is $2000 each for deposits, leases, start up etc.
&lt;br/&gt;Monthly $650 to $850 each for rent, utilities, advertising.
&lt;br/&gt;2 hours each per week hand marketing (flyers, web boards, etc.).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Only serious inquiries who have funds and are reliable please.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thank you

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;MY FRIENDS AND I WATCHED THIS SPECIAL FLOWER OPENING OVER NIGHT ON A FULL MOON IN JUNE.. USUALLY ONE BUD APPEARS, HOWEVER THIS TIME, AFTER MY FRIENDS HAD RECENTLY GOT MARRIED, THERE WERE TWO BUDS THAT OPENED AND ENTWINED WITH EACH OTHER SIMULTANEOUSLY. WE CAPTURED THE MOON-ESSENCE AND MADE A MOTHER TINCTURE AND WASHED ANOTHER FRIEND'S LITTLE BABY GIRL IN THE REMAINING WATER!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;HERE IS A LOVE-INFUSED FLOWER ESSENCE MADE FROM THAT NIGHT.. THERE AREN'T SO MANY STUDIES AS SUCH FOR THE PROPERTIES OF THIS FLOWER ESSENCE, THOUGH I BELIEVE THAT THROUGH THE DOCTORATE OF SIGNATURES THIS ONE SPEAKS FOR HERSELF.. IT IS FOR OPENING, PASSING THROUGH THE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL WHEN THAT PERSON IS READY, HEART CHAKRA GROWTH AND RELATIONSHIP ISSUES, FINDING YOU'RE OWN UNIQUE WAY TO SHINE, CLEARING AND SHARING THE HEART AND UNDERSTANDING IMPERMANENCE WITH WISDOM.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Hello and blessings to all,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Since I didn't get a response to my post below I decided to start a new topic.  I have a new dog and she is 8 1/2 months old.  We've had her for about 6 weeks now.  She was raised on a farm in Modesto and we live in San Francisco.  She is very fearful of the noises in the big city, so much so that if she goes into our back yard and hears voices from the adjacent yards but can't see the people she freezes up and won't pee or poop.  When going on walks she jumps at just about everything...cars, trucks, buses, other people, garbage cans, strollers, etc.  YOu can understand that this poses a problem for her and for us.  We want to get her used to the city but sometimes it seems to be getting worse and not better.  Please if you can suggest something I'd appreciate it.  I've been putting Rescue remedy in her water but that doesn't seem to be doing the job.  What about that Animal rescue remedy that someone posted about?  Will that help?  Or should I use something more specific for her issues?  Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!  Namaste, Erin&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;I've noticed that almost every time I've taken essences my dreams become extremely vivid. I started taking fireweed and noticed having VERY intense dreams, most very rich in symbolism relating my own experiences, deep-seated problems, etc. and also very cathartic. I've even noticed that during heavy dreaming I absolutely have to keep sleeping until I'm finished dreaming whatever I have to dream (lately it means sleeping in a lot) and I wake up really tired, almost as if I'd done a lot of heavy, physical work. Has anyone else noticed anything similar?&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My partner and I are having behavior issues with our puppy Voodoo. When we first got him he was very aggressive with us, but then it subsided and he was making great progress at home and in obedience classes. Within the past 4 weeks he has started snapping at people, and starting to be Uber-cranky with us as well (although he's not showing the outward aggression like before). He started backsliding in obedience class, and tried to bite several of the trainers (it's all positive reinforcement, so there's no need for that that we could see).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am home with him all day since I work from home, and my partner is home all night with us both. We play with him as much as he desires, but he still seems discontent and cranky much of the time.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We know he's a loving dog inside, because he has really lovely moments with us in the mornings and at night before sleep.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I've started him on Cherry remedy from the Master's Flower Essence line, as I did a work-up on him based on Lila Devi's (the MFE founder) book and then dowsed and muscle-tested to see which of the possible essences was indicated. Cherry was the only one.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Does anyone have anything else to suggest? We are having a behaviorist come in-home 2 weeks from now, so we are going traditional routes as well.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks and blessings,
&lt;br/&gt;~Devi~&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;I am finding that i am having trouble wanting to be around people in social situations that aren't centered around spirituality, healing and education.
&lt;br/&gt;i used to love hanging out with people just for the joy of spending time with them. i have found that desire to spend time with people outside of a situation where we are doing something in the spiritual, healing and educational realm.
&lt;br/&gt;i don't let myself get close to people any more and i know that this is part of my antisocial behaviour.
&lt;br/&gt;i have had many friendships go sour in the last few years and have been on a huge healing journey where i have been leaving many social circles and ways of being that weren't too healthy for me.
&lt;br/&gt;the disappointments i have felt are keeping me in a place of solitude, but that solitude is starting to affect my relationships with others who are still in my life.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;i am open to any essences from any line  outthere. if its not an essence from a bigger name company, then i would appreciate any webpage links that you may have.
&lt;br/&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Astrological Update for end May, June 2006
&lt;br/&gt;Soli-Lunar Astrology for Gemini New Moon
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In this column, we follow the transits of the planets beginning with the New Moon. 
&lt;br/&gt;There are 13 or 14 New Moons in a year, not 12, so there will be the same number of these columns as we follow a soul based, feeling oriented, and more natural calendar regarding our earthly cycles (not oriented toward the archaic and awkward calendar that has confused things since the Romans imposed it on this world long ago).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Transits for 5/26-6/25
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We begin with a New Moon in Gemini, which is the sign of communication, education, people, and ideas. It’s also a sign of contradiction, so we can expect contradictory behaviors, decisions, and communications in the coming month. Mercury will be in Gemini (but not conjunct Sun or Moon) and it will also square Uranus. This implies the potential for unpredictable scattering of energy that is akin to herding cats, and plans that are made during this time will be highly idealist and innovative, but fluffy in outcome and perhaps bearing little fruit. In my last column, I mentioned the powerful potential for profound change that would move thru during mid-May. So, if you didn’t initiate during that time, it may become harder to focus and carry thru at this time (especially if strong in Virgo or Pisces, i.e., Sun. Moon. Rising). If you were born under the Gemini influence (or other air signs) this flutter-by energy could seem like a breath of fresh summer air, full of ideas and potential, and some of us thrive on that! There is not much support for the earth signs here, at least until Venus enters Taurus on May 30th, then a greater commitment and beauty can ensue. In fact, as this lunation describes so much variety, a survey of all of our greatest hits and some of our fears will be passing in front of our eyes for us to let go of or address. But Venus in Taurus in combination with this "diffuse cornucopia" can give direction thru social life, pleasures, and beauty. Take advantage of this early and often.
&lt;br/&gt;As this month is such a mixed bag of aspects with little focus early on, the expression and energy will be different for each individual, and hard to describe in a comprehensive manner that will ring true for us all. There are a few coalescing aspects coming up in June that are decisive and describable. As Venus transits thru Taurus 5/30-6/24, it moves into alignment with Jupiter and Saturn (conjunct) Mars, forming a T square, which is usually stressful for most. Jupiter is retrograde in Scorpio having to do with an abundance of transformation, emotion, and strong life passages. This journey of Jupiter's is year long. Saturn in Leo has the potentially confusing contradiction of serious commitment and fun and sometimes can constrict the joy of this sign. Mars joins Saturn in Leo on 6/2, and these are in conjunction or similar position in the middle of the month. This can be excellent for providing motivation and drive toward pleasure, love, and identifying your own desires in order to take action.
&lt;br/&gt;While this can be a positive force toward accomplishment, Venus and Jupiter both pull on this, along with the Moon at various points, as well as Neptune later in July. Since Jupiter has to do with abundance and Venus with pleasure, beauty, finance, it is easy to go overboard, over-indulge, over spend, or scatter energy thru either determination or indulgence. For those who don’t desire drama in their personal lives, I advise a more conservative approach without fixed expectations. To the rest of us, the contradictions found in the fixed polarity of this time will certainly gives us a lot to be dramatic about. Certainly, do not try to stop the mountain from moving, the flood from occurring, or your lover from leaving thru sheer determination as this is where the conflict arises. For those of us who enjoy the Chinese paradigm of “may be good, May be bad” choices and results, we can have the times of our lives. Beyond this, the effects will be very individualized with lots of stories to unfold. May we live in interesting times!
&lt;br/&gt;The retrograde of Jupiter will slow to a stop July, so whatever is undone in June is redone and integrated in the hot summer sun.
&lt;br/&gt;The dust settles only after the Summer Solstice (Wed. 6/21 5:46 am pdt), which is also the last few days of the Moon cycle. This implies introversion and souls searching 6/21-5 even as the summer sun is stimulating in joyful communion- again in contrast. In fact, the solstice day is one in which the Moon aligns again into a T-square with Jupiter and Saturn. Many of the emotional aspects brought up by the cacophony of contradictory planetary voices will be resolved during the next lunation, so stay tuned.
&lt;br/&gt;Also of note is the retrograde of Uranus and Neptune. Retrogrades are the apparent backward motions of planets as seen from Earth. The outer planets do this for 5 months out of the year, and stationary or not moving for a few weeks on either side of that. The stationary times are more significant than the retrogrades are, as a laser beam is to light.
&lt;br/&gt;Neptune begins its yearly retrograde 5/23,implying more of what was stated at the beginning of this column regarding great ideas dissolving into committees, discussion groups, and frustrating action. Similarly, Uranus retrograde beginning 6/19 could dissolve and diffuse the group vision into many diverse and divergent pathways. For some, this can also provided serendipitous openings. These are not dire aspects, but they do have the potential for “following thru with the plan”, whatever it was.
&lt;br/&gt;Speaking of diffusion, there are endless aspects to describe for the coming month, but again each individual will experience them differently. Clear intention helps. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Astrology works on many levels and we can peel back the layers to revel ever-deeper aspects of ourselves and the truth of our being. If you would like to have a deeper reading of how these and other planetary transits affect you, contact me, Mark S. McNutt, for a personal reading.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I had several people suggest scleranthus (sp?) to me to help balance moods for bi-polar disorder. I managed to find a store in-town that carried it and I bought a bottle last night. The dosage on the bottle says "4 drops at least 4 times daily", but I know that dosages can vary for individuals. Does anyone have any suggestions for a dosage other than the stock one on the bottle, or should I just stick to that for now?

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am still pretty new to the realm of flower essences but would like some advice on choosing something to help balance my hormones. I have had tests done by an endocrinologist and told tat I have increased levels of both testosterone and another hormone (my mind is forgetting whether it is androgen or progesterone-but he said it was a hormone common in new mothers)---I think it was androgen. Anyways I'm not sure of there are FE that deal down to the specific hormones but any advice you have would be greatly appreciated. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;NOTE: I have been working on my diet and with excercise as well to aid in alleviating these imbalances. Also note, I do *not* have poly cystic ovarian syndrome which is commonly related to hormone imbalances and is why I was also tested for that. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Bach Flower Massage by Daniele Lo Rito 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Recently I have started combining gemstones in my application. I've been applying essences to my chunks of rose quartz, ametrine, tibetan quartz, flourite and yellow calcite  and then laying those stones on my body with amazing results. 
&lt;br/&gt;the effects and sensations are different than using a gem essence. Applying the ametrine to my third eye and putting my essence mixture onto the stone has been a great way for me to release negative programing.

&lt;br/&gt;Astrological Update for May 2006 
&lt;br/&gt;(Soli Lunar New Moon in Taurus beginning April 27th)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The dance of the planets continues! Even when we deny or ignore their influences, we find that our magnetism and watery bodies continue to draw influences from our immediate environment and the subtle influences of the cosmos beyond. The microcosm of our selves reflects the macrocosm. 
&lt;br/&gt;As this eclipse month ends, a little known fault near Salem OR gives a shudder as if to say, ”Yes!” even Gaia, the world Spirit herself, is aware of the alignment of Sun and Moon. 
&lt;br/&gt;The new moon defines the area of focus for the month, which then unfolds in potential for the first two weeks and then releases that potential (as defined by the full moon) over the following two weeks. All the while, the other 8 planets continue in their spiral dance to unfold our personal and planetary journey. 
&lt;br/&gt;This new moon begins 4/27 at 12:44 pm PDT (West Coast US time) with Sun and Moon in Taurus. Taurus has to do with the Earth and Her resources, physical plane, body awareness, material goods, land, wealth, and all that is tangible and measurable, as well as the artistic and beautiful. It is no coincidence that the ancients observed the connection between this earth sign and the joy of the Earth’s creation through flowers and growth of all that is green.
&lt;br/&gt;Energy radiates from the middle of the fixed signs outward. That is, midseason is the embodiment of the season. Spring, is described best by Beltane (the good time) and the flowing propagation of the Earth, than the firey newness of Aries. Summer, is described best by the midseason fires of Leo and Lammas in August than by the watery homebody sign of Cancer. Fall is described best by the intense and watery mystery of Scorpio and Samhain than by the balance of airy Libra. Winter begins with Capricorn but the airy potential of Aquarius and Imbolc speaks of the return of light, social life, and the rekindling new ideas.
&lt;br/&gt;So, this Taurean mid-season time, is the time for planting and being with nature, and especially for being true to our natures! The more we embrace what is natural for our body and being during this time, the more we manifest what is natural and healthy for us. Be aware of the abundance concerning our physical bodies and the environment, acquisition of goods and structures, the planting and the cultivation of gardens, and the magickal connection with nature. Garden, build, go for walks, and spend as much time as possible at the ultimate website...TheNaturalWorld.net.  
&lt;br/&gt;The full moon on 5/13 will bring forth a tidal wave of emotions and intense passions to a peak that is very powerful for moving energy; Jupiter and Uranus add to this. Ground yourself and ride the wave, trusting your emotions and knowing that your mission will have tangible results in May and beyond. 
&lt;br/&gt;Beginning the evening of 5/20, the Sun will move into the airy sign Gemini, bringing intellect and fanciful wings for networking the new ideas that are born of the strong roots available now. The plant is only as strong as its’ roots, so focus before 5/20 on growing and nourishing whatever those roots are. Otherwise, those plants (that is, your ideas and strategy) may become top heavy from too much talk and not enough walk.  Don't let your focus dissipate and dry out, water your emotions heavily in mid month.
&lt;br/&gt;Jupiter and Uranus are in the water signs of Scorpio and Pisces respectively, and are in trine, a favorable aspect, all month. This is excellent for new ideas and friendships, and creativity coming out of the blue with mostly positive and highly predictable results. We can expect old friends to arrive or contact us over the airwaves from far away places. As well, we can expect extended generosity to unexpectedly be returned. Karma is its’ own reward or dilemma, as we reap what we sow in a surprising manner.
&lt;br/&gt;Spontaneous travel is highly encouraged, as are serendipitous changes of plan. Endeavor to do, think or plan something that is original. It’s time, in the second half of month, to climb out of the box of self-limiting choices! The dreaminess of Neptune in Aquarius further encourages this, even as it slows down to begin its’ yearly retrograde (5/23). This implies "Get going!" on your new activities before 5/20, as the end of the month is best used for herding all of the cats that you’ve spontaneously decided to take on. The end of the month energy is very mental and diffused, but air signs love that playing field.
&lt;br/&gt;Mars in Cancer denotes aggressive nurturing of home and family situations, and feelings which suddenly come to the forefront, especially under that time of the “visible full moon” in mid month, which dissolves into more mental and social juggling around 5/20. A great shift occurs from 5/12-20. Be flexible and creative. Explore your feelings and the mind will follow.
&lt;br/&gt;Expect love and relations to be impulsive and immediate but not necessarily lasting. Even as you are building new bridges, exploring deep feelings and attachments, and feeling out what you value most, it changes again with the next lunation at the end of the month; so remember what grounds and roots you and return there.
&lt;br/&gt;We present this column every lunation or new moon, as a service and by popular request.
&lt;br/&gt;Astrology works on many, many levels and we can peel back the layers to revel ever-deeper aspects of ourselves and the truth of our being. If you would like to have a more in-depth reading of how these and other planetary transits affect you, contact me, Mark S. McNutt, for a personal reading.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;your body must be free of caffeine dominance before the elixirs will assist your energy field.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As you may or may not know, everything that manifests in the physical begins first on the ethereal level. Hence, a precept of energy medicine in general.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;also, you may not want to use more than 5 or 6 at a time, if you consider yourself really energetically integrity-assimilating, up to 15 or so will work for you; 15-30 min.s before or after eating is a general recommendation for using elixirs.

&lt;br/&gt;The sentience of a flower/plant is very powerful (as you all know), so powerful that I have summoned an essence through thought when I needed it's healing and recieved distinct allieviation within 5 mins or so.
&lt;br/&gt;Isn't that so beautiful!!
&lt;br/&gt;I think I believe that once an essence is within you, your body can re-member (as in reconstruct!) its vibrational pattern.

&lt;br/&gt;I am new to this tribe and recently started studying flower essences and gem elixirs.
&lt;br/&gt;I have used mostly bach remedies in the past, but have recently discovered alaskan essences.  I really feel connected to them since I live in the NW and have similar plant/flower species as alaska.  I was wondering what the rule of thumb is for number of drops in a doseage bottle.  Is it usually based on ones intuition?

&lt;br/&gt;Has anyone experienced anything like this? What did you do? I muscle tested for the amount of time to take each essence... perhaps I need to come back to each in turn and take them again for another period. Funny the paths these things sometimes take us on.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I would like to find some volunteers who would like to work with a practioner for 3 months.  I need 2 people though more are welcome.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In late 2003 I took a Flower Essence training with Delta Gardens from Massachussets. His trainings are amazing, to finish up the training I need to do 3 case studies, I have one completed and need to finish 2 more.  My life has taken me in another direction since then but I do want start working with people again.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Sessions run 1 hour and I need to work with someone for at least 3 months, we can do it over the phone or in person, whatever you are comfortable with.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There is an amazing value working with a practioner, I know from years of working on myself then working with a practioner.  And the progress from working with a practioner is much more rapid.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thank you all!
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Today I did this flower quiz! After answering all the questions I discovered that I was a "Rose"!  Now, I must say that I was surprise, because I love that flower alot! How I see a rose is what got me the most! Yes......a rose is beautieful coming in different arrays of colors, but it's not just beautyful!  It has torns that will either pluck you or all together hurt you! That could be good/bad for people.  However, if you handle the Rose with care you would love to smell it and exam it to learn more or just enjoy it's being! Some people that felt the torns love the way the rose look, but say away because they are scared of being pluck again! some love to be pluck by the rose! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You get my point ! I love the Rose........&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Does anyone have any experience working with the Desert Alchemy essences? In general I like to use products that are native to the area in which I live, and now I live in the desert. But I don't have the freedom of time or money to take one of Cynthia's seminars. I'm just wondering if her essences have come up in any of your practices and if so, what your opinion was?&lt;/div&gt;
