Bach Flower Remedies {Discover}

When I take a look back at all the latest posts (like those from ages ago...ehm...), I realize that there's quite a few of them, if not the majority, that fall under the "Discover" subtitle. You know, that's the additional title I add in between brackets in the title... It may not be very SEO friendly, but it does set the post in stone, as it were. It does add a definition, in a nutshell, with no frills.

Here's another Discover post. What does it mean...? Well, to start with, it is a pretty clear symbol of what my life has been like over the past four years. A roller coaster, for sure. And a quest that has led to quite a few discoveries. If it sounds positive - without rallying the rainbows and unicorns of the world - it is because it is so.

And finding out about the Bach Flowers Remedies is part of the inspiring and healing discoveries. The story of how it all happened a year ago is quite symbolic too.

While scrolling through Instagram - what else? - and trying to figure out the whole buzz around InstaStories, I stumble across a beautiful account: @aromassentiel The pictures talk to me, the words even more (you bet). There's light and shadow in both. The final portrait is one of intricate details and infinite compassion and energy.

Mustering all my e-bravery, I click through the InstaStories. That's where I see that Agathe, Aromassentiel's founder, is located in Bordeaux and is willing to share one of her gorgeously inspiring deck of cards.

Long story short, we meet in Bordeaux and share a nice coffee in a place I need to tell you more about. What happens then? We talk endlessly... and almost forget about the deck of cards! If this isn't a positive sign, I don't know what is. I am sure the oracles know what I am talking about.

That's how Agathe, who is a certified Bach Flower Instructor, came to accompany me during my mental therapy as a Bach Flower specialist. She is sensitive, ready to listen and inspire change without being pushy. At the time, she started explaining where the Flower Bach Remedies come from, what they are for and how to use and understand their action.

If it wasn't all that easy for me to open up at the onset of our series of encounters and interviews, little by little and with Agathe's guidance, it all started to feel natural. I was reaching out to a fellow soul, we were exchanging and nourishing each other. 

What I like about the Bach Flower Remedies?

They are natural, they make sense on their own as long as you listen to yourself, open up to your needs, both physical and mental. They evolve at your pace, delivering their energy as they go - hand in hand with you. And that's another point: I now understand that everything radiates energy in our world, and this has shifted my way of acknowledging its every angle. Bach Flowers are no exception.They can affect our emotions, the way we express them and they are involved in our decision-making process, as well as our ability to recognize change and adapt to it.

The experience wouldn't have been the same for me without Agathe - I probably would not have ventured in this territory... who knows?

‘Disease of the body itself is nothing but the result of the disharmony between soul and mind. Remove the disharmony, and we regain harmony between soul and mind, and the body is once more perfect in all its parts.’

– Dr. Edward Bach

Pssst...! Agathe and Marie are holding a workshop in Bordeaux on February 15  - there are a few spots left.

By the way, this is not a sponsored post. This is just me, sharing - as always - a speck of my life and daydreaming discoveries along the way.
