ESCAPED

I have escaped to work without interruptions on my next big project – the revision of BACH FLOWERS UNFOLDING, hopefully to be released later this year as part of an amazing book.

Edward Bach, just like Mother Teresa, had the strong desire to ease suffering and has left a legacy behind that lives on.

Bach Flowers are an amazing healing tool with their effects often being underestimated.

“The action of these remedies is to raise our vibrations and open up our channels for the reception of our Spiritual Self, to flood our natures with the particular Virtue we need, and wash out from us the fault which is causing harm. They are able like beautiful music, or any gloriously uplifting thing which gives us inspiration, to raise our very natures, and bring us nearer to our Souls: and by that very act, to bring us peace, and relieve our sufferings.” Edward Bach

The need for the revision arises because of the changes in the Earth. As the vibrational frequencies have increased the Bach Flowers (as well as other plants) are bringing forth new information.

For anyone not familiar with BACH FLOWERS UNFOLDING please go to my website www.rainbowhealing.ca for more information.

As always, green blessings.

CALENDULA OIL – PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS

The oil is made from Calendula officinalis often referred to as Marigold. Many plants are called Marigold and therefore the Latin name is required for correct identification.

Why not plant some Calendula this year in your garden? The flowers are bright yellow and orange and have many therapeutic properties. It is easy to grow and harvest. The oil can be made into a healing salve which is a favorite of many of my clients.

PROPERTIES

anti-inflammatory – wound healing – anti-fungal – anti-bacterial/anti-microbial – anti-septic

Calendula oil is used topically and primarily used in SKIN CARE because of its great anti-inflammatory and wound healing actions.

APPLICATIONS

The oil helps to moisturize the skin, soothes the area and reduces pain.
