Flower Essences for Aries

ARIES March 21 – April 20

Each Sun Sign can be roughly equated to a life phase, and Aries is the baby of the zodiac. In the Northern Hemisphere, where western astrology originated, the 21st March is the Spring Equinox, the official start of the solar year, as Mother Earth stirs from her long wintery sleep. It is a time of new beginnings and new life – green shoots, blossoms, birth. Everything is fresh, shiny and new. There is an air of optimism, renewal and hope – an awareness of all the possibilities contained by this new year, and in the new life that we see all around. Such is also the energy of Aries.

POSITIVE QUALITIES

Fearless, pioneering, honest, energetic, enthusiastic, independent, generous, confident, inspirational, passionate, decisive and idealistic. Natural leaders who get the ball rolling.

NEGATIVE QUALITIES

Impulsive, naïve, arrogant, impatient, bossy, aggressive, violent, bloody minded, extravagant.

If you study ancient Roman mythology you will see these traits embodied in Mars, the God of War, and ruler of Aries. According to Carl Jung, myths are archetypes; stories reflective of actual personality types – their strengths,  weaknesses and challenges, and the way to resolve these. Myths can be viewed as therapeutic stories – stories as medicine.

Equally, the Bush Essences, as medicines for the emotions, can be used to help heal and bring into balance the negative traits of any sun sign, allowing the positive traits to be more easily expressed. For each sign, there are certain flowers that are frequently needed, and these can be viewed as constitution remedies.

Black-Eyed Susan is a very important flower for Aries. It is very useful for rushing, something Aries are renown for, so it helps them to slow down (and smell the roses). Unchecked, this tendency to speediness can become impatience or impulsiveness and can further escalate into frustration, anger and aggression. As the mind goes, energy flows. An imbalance in the thoughts and emotions will ultimately be reflected in the physical body, in a very predictable manner. Physically, rushing can manifest as hyperactivity, clumsiness, stress, burnout, aggression, violence or accidents.  Bolting down one’s food leads to indigestion. Black-Eyed Susan addresses all these issues at a causal level. Antarctic Essence is also very appropriate.

Mountain Devil too, is very high on the list of Essences for fiery Aries. If impatience has progressed into anger, aggression, violence or hatred, Mountain Devil is called for. It is also very good for the Aries tendency to become overly ambitious and overly competitive (they like to win). With fire comes passion, and at times jealousy – which Mountain Devil will also help soothe. In western herbal medicine, anger is held in the spleen; in Chinese Medicine anger is held in the liver. Either way, I have found Mountain Devil very useful for assisting restore health in these organs. In medical astrology, the spleen is ruled by Aries, and is vulnerable under stress, so therefore needs to be especially supported. Mountain Devil supports the spleen energetically, and therefore physically.

Aries natives are at risk of burnout. They have so much natural energy that, like children, they go and go and go and then suddenly they drop. Usually, following a good sleep they awaken refreshed – and off they go again. However, as with the young, Aries can take this enormous vitality for granted, and get into a habit of burning the candle at both ends. They’ll get away with this for quite some time, especially in their youth. Sooner or later though, it will catch up. Down they go in a flaming burnt out heap of squandered energy. Macrocarpa is the flower they need to get back up again (Aries always gets back up again). Better still, give Macrocarpa before they crash and burn (prevention is better than cure). Macrocarpa also brings with it the wisdom to ‘eat when you are hungry, sleep when you are tired’ – to leave something in reserve, to husband your energy well. Macrocarpa is specific for balancing the adrenal glands, another of the vulnerable organs in Aries.

It has to be said that Aries is not naturally the most elegant of signs. Like children, they can be socially inept, gauche and naïve. Kangaroo Paw is very beneficial for helping them develop and grow in this direction. The tendency to rush can bring physical clumsiness no matter what their age. Apart from Black-Eyed Susan to slow down, try some Bush Fuchsia to help improve their physical co-ordination.

Fortunately we have Mulla Mulla to help Aries with their tendency to frequently burn themselves – on the iron, cappacino machine, stovetop, oven, kettle…  you get the idea. Put it on the outside and give it on the inside. Leave a bottle in the kitchen. Aries often have a reddish tinge to their hair, courtesy of their ruling planet Mars. This can bring the temper to match, and a tendency to sunburn. Try Mulla Mulla before, during and after sun exposure.

There are several other Essences that deserve a quick mention – Gymea Lily if they have become bossy or domineering, Isopogon to learn from their mistakes, and Wedding Bush to help them complete their projects (not just start them). And of course Emergency Essence – this enthusiastic, fiery, loyal, adventurous, clumsy trail blazer, with an appetite for life and the exuberance of youth, is going to need it. Oh, and some Calm and Clear + Mountain Devil for when they are driving.

Aspirin increases your risk of Crohn’s disease fivefold

People regularly take an aspirin a day to ward off heart problems – but they are also greatly increasing their chances of developing Crohn’s disease, a debilitating gut problem.
Researchers have discovered that people increase their chances of developing Crohn’s fivefold if they take an aspirin a day for more than a year.
A research team from the University of East Anglia made the discovery when they tracked 200,000 healthy volunteers in Europe, some of whom developed Crohn’s Disease.

The researchers discovered that regular aspirin users, who had taken the drug for a year or longer, were much more likely to develop the problem.
Crohn’s Disease causes inflammation and swelling in any part of the digestive system, and it requires lifelong medication; in more serious cases, surgery is necessary and a few sufferers also develop bowel cancer.

Linn’s Comment:
There are several herbs that are just as effective as asprin for preventing the clotting problems that can cause heart attacks. These herbs have no known side effects. Contact me to order.

Magnesium aids Memory

If you want to be a little smarter, increase the amount of magnesium in your diet.
The nutrient is one of the most vital for healthy brain functioning, something that becomes increasingly important as we get older.
High magnesium levels in your body can improve cognitive abilities and memory, and can stop the brain from deteriorating as we age, a new study confirms.
Beijing University recently tested magnesium levels on laboratory rats to see how their brain functioning improved. The rats given a high-magnesium diet displayed improved cognitive abilities compared with rats fed a standard diet, which is usually thought to contain sufficient magnesium for our body’s needs.
Aside from supplements, magnesium can be found in spices, nuts, in coffee and tea, and in green leafy vegetables, such as spinach.
(Source: Neuron, 2010; 65: 165-77).
From Linn:
The herb Valerian is also a very high source of Magnesium, but make sure  it has been dried for at least 12 months prior to use or it may cause nightmares. Best sourced from a herbalist making their own extracts and so knows the Valerian is correctly aged.
Almonds are also a good source of Magnesium
The flower essence Isopogon, taught in Level 1 Australian Bush Flower Essences Workshop and the combination Cognis, can also be of assistance.

Coffee – one of the healthiest starts to the day

That cup of coffee in the morning may be one of the healthiest ways to start the day, new research suggests.
Coffee lowers chronic inflammation and can even raise our level of the ‘good’ HDL cholesterol. It may also have a protective effect against type II diabetes.
Researchers, who have been looking at the benefits of coffee drinking, have discovered that the drink contains several nutrients, such as calcium, and hundreds of biologically-active compounds, such as polyphenols, which aid good health.

Why Our Daily Bread is Killing Us

Our daily bread is not very good for us.
That’s certainly true for the standard loaf you buy in the stores, and now researchers know why. Most bread is made with wheat flour and bran, and this causes insulin resistance which, in turn, can lead to high blood sugar (glycaemia), high blood pressure and cause bad blood fats. These are conditions that are precursors of type II diabetes and heart disease, researchers from Sweden’s Lund University have discovered.
The only bread that actually helps us become healthier is wholegrain bread that is baked with white rye flour, which comes from the inner, white part of the rye kernel.
This bread helps improves levels of insulin and blood sugar levels. And to make your diet better yet, add porridge to the mix.
Blood sugar levels can also be assisted with Peach Flowered Tea Tree, a flower taught in the Level 1 Australian Bush Flower Essences Workshop.

Healing Breast Cancer – Resentment

RESENTMENT

 Image 10

Resentment is an unawakened emotion (taught Module II & Module IV) which prevents us from ascending and living a life of abundance. There are two emotions, LOVE and FEAR which then branch to many. Resentment comes under the umbrella of FEAR. The body locks resentment in to the nipple chakra and the breast.

Resentment is grievance and anger at someone or something. It is when we blame someone or something and refuse to release that blame. In the ancient writings, resentment was to give ‘pardon for a fault’, which is the same as forgiveness. So how does this relate to breast cancer …….

As mentioned previously we are as a human race totally unaware of what the internal vibration is saying as we have never been educated to the effect of emotional care. We lock these fear based emotions within our body parts where they are stored. As soon as there is overload of that particular emotion, the body communicates with us by creating disease. With this in mind, any resentment will be locked in to the breast (and gall bladder – Module I) where it will manifest as breast cancer. There could be resentment at anyone or anything depending on the how the person perceived the situation. Also, if the women is fearful or reluctant to share their grievances, this will be locked in to the breast and eventually manifest as cancer. This could be due to she is needy (as mentioned earlier) and does not want to upset the person/people and feels as though she needs to be ‘quiet’ so as to be accepted, as previously mentioned.

Lauren had presented to me with breast cancer stating it was all her Mothers fault for not loving her. She resented that her Mother left her Father and in doing so her Mother then had to work full time to support Lauren. Lauren was unable to see why her Mother did this and held on to the resentment and refused to forgive her Mother for actions which were now 21 years ago. This was absolutely destroying Lauren and creating breast cancer. This bitterness and resentment was weaving itself not only in the left breast but also in to the lymph glands and in to the bones. Even talking to Lauren was challenging as she stated she wanted her Mother to die. Before we could even look at the breast cancer healing, the body wanted to heal the resentment held within the breast. Lauren agreed to have 2 x oral Resentment essences. After this duration, her whole attitude changed towards her Mother and life. Lauren was also shown a forgiveness technique and forgiveness scared geometry crystal grid (Taught Module IV). Her cancer in the mean time appeared to be shrinking and her relationship with her Mother was evolving. Lauren’s breast cancer took 6 months to heal completely integrating both western medicine and naturopathy. The emotional and spiritual aspect also were addressed to give a holistic approach to healing the breast cancer.

 Image 11

The holistic approach to healing any disease includes mind, body and spirit. It involves physical, chemical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Our body is the manifestation of the internal vibration and shows our hidden secrets.

All essences mentioned in this article series can be ordered via phone and email.

Healing Breast cancer – Neediness

NEEDINESS

 Image 9

As mentioned earlier, the body is a storage unit for the internal vibration. Each body part is programmed to hold particular emotions. The consciousness of the general brain is expectation and sickness as identity. In other words, we subconsciously can create a disease as an identity as well as the body is manifesting the internal vibration so as we know what the ‘story’ is inside. Unconsciously we have certain beliefs and these come to manifestation or awareness at certain times during disease or ill health.  NEEDINESS is one of these diseases and is locked in to the brain consciousness, breast and the knee. (Taught Module I)

Quite often women that develop and create breast cancer have a neediness of their partner and can be quite clingy or demanding, even to the extreme of being ‘the damsel in distress’. Yet to look at these women they look like they are independent. The neediness comes from feeling alone and isolated. They do not realise their own potential and what they can achieve as an interdependent person. Also they create breast cancer as a way of feeling loved and their partner not leaving them. It is an attention seeking concept. Yet again the duality will happen with the women appearing as though they are totally fine and do not want any attention focused on them.

Helen continually created some sort of ailment or drama to have people around her and help her. She hated being alone and felt isolated all the time. When Helen explained she had breast cancer there was almost a sense of relief and happiness as she made this comment. This rang alarm bells for me. She stated “Now Gary will stay with me and I won’t be alone.” She also explained she went to many practitioners for many reasons. I could hear a co-dependency theme running as she shared her story. As we discussed the treatment of her breast cancer she had chosen to have chemotherapy and radiation, again as her husband would have to drive her and her Mother could cook her meals and be there for her. During this process Helen still came for sessions as we addressed her neediness situation and where it had come from and why was it so important to her. She explained her Father had left the house when she was 9 years old and she never felt safe with both her and her Mother. She wanted a man to protect her. She had married Gary straight away as she felt she was never going to get another man love and accept her. Helen was able to come to many self realisations on what she had created in her life especially after having an Oral essence of MONGA WARATAH for her codependancy. Helen was able to start a new life where she went back to TAFE and is now working in a Childcare centre. She has no breast cancer and states she rarely sees other partitioners for help since doing Module I, Medical Intuition. Professionally I have found that when this neediness occurs, an Oral essence of Monga Waratah helps immensely helping to shift this consciousness and allowing the person to become interdependent and be aware of their full potential.

Healing Breast Cancer – Sexuality

SEXULAITY

 Image 8

Sexuality can be defined as the quality or state of being sexual. Quite often it is the aspect of one’s need for closeness, caring and touch. It is the condition of being characterized and distinguished by sex.

On a subconscious level, some women deny their own desires and belief systems that they desire to be close to someone, usually their partner. This desire is to be close and feel cared for. A human behaviour of expressing this act is through sex.

However if the woman has no conscious idea that she wants to be close, she will create breast cancer. Unknown to her she has created a disease which will make the partner close and care for her ….. maybe. This is not always the case.

Another reason for creating breast cancer subconsciously is that the woman disrespect herself for sexual acts she has done in the past all in the name of wanting desperately to feel close, loved and cared for. This trait has been seen in the prostitute occupation, especially.

Kathy presented to me with breast cancer. She explained that she had used her body as an object and totally disrespected it. She had always wanted love and thought she could get it from having sex with men. She also had learnt that this was love as her Father used to sexually abuse her from 5 years old to 11 years old. She had deep shame for what she had done as an adult and definitely did not accept herself and also was shameful for what her Father had asked her to do. She knew it was not her fault but the emotions of the shame were locked into her breast and that had created breast cancer. Kathy after many sessions and also attending the Opening Door Course, was able to perceive life differently. She integrated herbal medicine and the life tools and techniques taught to her from Millennium Education to come to a place of health in regards to her breast cancer. There was still emotional attachment which was not clearing. That is when Kathy decided to take the Sexuality essence to clear these blocks. She stated she had no more shameful feelings and was able to fully accept her body as a temple.

Healing Breast Cancer – Sensuality

SENSUALITY

 Image 7


In this new generation, sensuality is often mixed up with the giving of yourself as a an object and in the context of your body and sex, many young girls are confusing sensuality with having sex rather than a close intimate relationship with themselves as a woman and then with a partner depending on age, development etc. The dictionary meaning is the gratification of the senses, leading on to sexual sensations. As women, sometimes in the desperation to feel loved and accepted, a woman may use her body as an object and therefore may not feel sensual. Some woman never see themselves as a sensual being, or that their body parts are attractive in a sexual way, especially to others.

Relating this to breast cancer, some women that have I have consulted with have explained that they were ‘tom boys’ when they were children. As they grew up as women they never could understand the womanly growths such as breasts growing, menstrual cycles and more. Some of these women did not want to see themselves as it brought up that they felt like a sexual toy for someone else which closed their own personal door to sensuality.

Jo was a ‘tom boy’ as a child. Her name was Josephine but she never liked this name as preferred Jo. She never related to being a girl and loved playing with the boys. As a teenager Jo tried to have relationships with boys but it always a ‘one night stand’ or just sex as she could not relate to the sensuality within herself. Jo could never connect with her body especially when her breast grew or when she commenced menstrual cycle. Jo was angry she had breast cancer and had decided to have a radical mastectomy. Her Specialist had suggested she have both breasts removed ‘just in case’ to which she was happy. Yet she only had cancer in her right breast and it was not in her lymph nodes either. It was an awareness that she did not know how to allow herself to enjoy the sensuality of sex and the senses of sex. Jo had a fear of emotional and physical intimacy with anyone and that included herself. This resulted in creating breast cancer.

Jo was given strategies to overcome these concepts and also put on to Sensuality Oral essence. Jo chose to have a partial mastectomy rather than bilateral and was able to share with me that she had a loving and very intimate relationship. She was able to feel passion and receive sensual fulfilment. Two years later, she had a follow up appointment to which she stated her breast cancer was non existent and she was pregnant.

Healing Breast Cancer – Self Acceptance

ACCEPTANCE

 Image 6

As souls having a human experience we are constantly striving to feel accepted and loved. The Mayan calendar talks about a consciousness we will reach in the new Millennium (taught in Medical Intuitive Courses) where we shall reach awakened states of emotions such as unconditional love, detachment, acceptance and more. (Taught in Module II) So what acceptance are we requiring when relating this to the breast and breast cancer?

Acceptance means many things including as mentioned in Nurturing (above), to take or agree to responsibility. Overall it means being able to be one with all and integrating that concept. It is also about receiving something especially approval. This is where it can be tricky as a women and the role of a women, what is now acceptable or approved of? The main concept is can you accept yourself for what you have or have not done, said, thought, etc?’ The less you accept yourself, the more chances you have of creating breast cancer. It will not matter what others think of you as ultimately if what you think of yourself. When you have complete and total acceptance of yourself as souls having a human journey then you cease the disease of breast cancer.

I was very surprised when Karen came for a session with breast cancer as the results of why she had created it related to no acceptance of self at all. Her thymus gland metaphysically was about Christ consciousness and acceptance of self in all ways. Her confidence was non existent at all.  This had occurred due to the continual ‘verbal abuse’ from her x partner. She truly was unable to see herself with anyone else, could not see what was acceptable about her and this also created her eye sight to deteriorate where she could not see long distances. (Medical Intuitive, Module I, I teach that loss of eye sight is what we have heard). As Karen stayed with this partner and he continued the verbal abuse, her self esteem was crushed. Her body kept telling me that to heal the cancer she required 2 months (4 doses) of Oral Confid essence. She needed to nurture herself with confidence. The changes were incredible and the essence was integrated with other techniques. I am happy to say Karen is with a loving man who idolises her and she has made a huge healing where she nurtures herself in all levels. Her eye sight has returned and she recently got married.
