Intrigued by the concept of flower therapy? Meet Ritu Chellani, a Bach Flower Registered Practitioner, who delves into the transformative power of Bach Flower Remedies. Join MysticMag and learn how she discovered this natural healing method, its profound impact on emotional wellness, and the steps involved in a flower therapy session.
How did you get into flower therapy and what sparked your interest in it?
Eight years ago, my interest in Bach flower therapy was sparked by my curiosity and passion for alternative healing therapies. The adverse consequences of conventional allopathic medicine drove me to look for alternative, easy-to-use, completely safe, non-toxic, and side-effect-free ways to heal. This is the precise definition of Bach Flower Therapy. The method of treatment is remarkably simple, and it works well when combined with other medications and other modalities.
According to Dr. Edward Bach, emotions and health are directly related. Illness is the accumulation of mental attitude. The majority of conventional medical professionals now acknowledge that patients who have a positive outlook on their conditions recover faster. The old saying “laughter is the best medicine” has also been shown to be true: the immune system can learn from the central nervous system, and unhappiness, despair, and melancholy weakens the body’s defences while happiness strengthens them.
What are Bach Flower Remedies?
Bach Flower Remedies are a holistic way of emotional healing. Dr. Edward Bach, who was a respected Homeopath, Bacteriologist, and Pathologist in the UK, discovered this BEAUTIFUL, SIMPLE, AND NATURAL method of alternate healing, more than 90 years ago. This System is about healing naturally with the energy of 38 flowers, found in nature. Each of these 38 remedies addresses a certain negative emotion that humans go through.
According to Dr. Bach, “the mind is the most delicate and sensitive part of the human body”; a person’s state of mind impacts their physical body. Emotional energy can either flow throughout our body and mind or become blocked due to the heavy feelings that can cause conflict. Emotions like anger, anxiety, fear, and stress can cause our bodies to get physically sick. It is these negative emotional states and imbalances that are the underlying cause of disease or illnesses. So, if we correct our negative emotions, we can heal physically as well.
What issues can Bach Flower Remedies help heal?
Anger, jealousy, envy, insecurity, intolerance, guilt, self-doubt, low confidence, low self-esteem, a chattering mind, despondency, despair, insomnia, and mental exhaustion are some of the issues that Bach Flower Remedies can help us heal. It is firmly believed that the energy of these flowers and plants can help alleviate these negative emotions. The mood of the sufferer will guide us to the correct remedy. The remedies heal by restoring harmony within us. They act by influencing the energy system, by flooding our bodies with beautiful positive vibrations. Thus, Bach flower remedies focus on the individual’s personality and emotions and are not direct treatments for any disease, symptom, or physical complaint.
Can you walk me through a flower therapy session?
Yes, definitely. So, Dr. Edwards Bach’s system is designed for self-help. Thus, as practitioners working with a self-help system, our role is to encourage clients to learn and use the remedies and participate in their own healing. A typical 40-45 minute Bach Flower consultation comprises the following steps:
1. Clarifying practical details of the session.
2. Checking the client’s knowledge of the remedies.
3. Explaining the principles of the system.
4. Conducting the actual consultation by asking open questions, whereby the client slowly and gradually starts sharing their underlying problems and emotional upheavals.
5. Lastly, suggest and review the choice of remedies and explain how to take them. We encourage the client to become more aware of themselves and their emotions.
What is your favourite part of your profession?
Becoming a BFRP (Bach Flower Registered Practitioner) has changed my life. Seeing happy, confident, strong, and more resilient clients is an exhilarating experience. I feel incredibly fortunate and happy that I have been able to help so many people regain their emotional strength and lead happier, positive, and stress-free lives. Being able to restore a positive outlook and attain balance and harmony within, is my favourite part of being a BFRP.
