Welcome to the essences
Be upright and self-assured
Sunflower – Sonnenblume – Helianthus annuus
Imagine this client of me – a giant of a man, almost 2 m tall, but considering himself as a dwarf. He succeeded in making himself small by standing with hanging shoulders and a bowed spine that he indeed seemed smaller than me, although actually he was much taller. He had to look up to me!
Situations like that make it hard sometimes not to burst out laughing in front of a client. This giant played the role of a little mouse without even noticing. He simply did not know what a man he was, all he presented was meant seriously. He shoewed quite clearly how he considered himself: small, helpless, powerless, a nothing.
And then there was this pretty young woman, who behaved similarly. Of course she was not as tall as her male equivalent so she made herself smaller in another sense. She was convinced to be the ugliest being on Earth and in order not to be confronted with the reality she developed a kind of mirror-phobia in order to avoid to take a look at herself. She further succeeded in reducing her perspective by ignoring all the admiring views she might have caught in case she only tried to open her eyes. But the way she prefered to see the world became a kind of self-fullfilling prophecy: I am as ugly as hell, nobody will ever love me, not even take a look at me – and she looks around and notices only people looking in another direction. That is the proof.
To be honest I should say that she became less and less attractive once she decided to make herself even smaller than her 1,60 m size by avoiding any kind of food. It seemed she tried to make herself invisible. She developed anoriexia.
Who is the boss?
People tend to look at the course of the world from the perspective of their navel. Make the earth subject to you. In fact, one could write the story from a different point of view as well, namely the one of plants. Their story is, after all, much older than that of humans, and while our knowledge about dinosaurs is based upon bone finds, plants were already present when they lived.
Plants possess a very special kind of intelligence, which helped them to conquer the whole world. With much less effort than mankind needed in order to follow their sucessful path much later. A long time ago plants did not have any blossoms. I can not say which event triggered the Eureka experience in them, but the development of leaves into flowers and their attractive coloring made a deal between completely different creatures possible, from which both take their advantage. Flowering plants started to use their color to attract insects, so they would be fertilized and developed a new stance of species cooperation. The winged helpers benefited from the nectar and worked for their beautifully colored contractual partners. And that was only the beginning of this intelligent cooperation. Regarding the fact that many species of insects had been disregarded in collective bargaining, the contracting parties agreed to get them on board in an unconventional manner. Some of the plants moved their blooms to the evening and night hours, and the moths were the ones who could say goodbye to unemployment.
Picking flower essences
How do you decide which essence would be appropriate? We had a poll running on http://essenzen.net/. The results show up to now that around 15% of our visitors prefer to choose the right essence by simply picking one out of the box.
You will not tell this our scientific friends, will you?!
Anyway when so many people use this method, we should take a closer look, don‘t you think?
Once I had an experience that deeply touched me, when I was the patient of a kinesiological demonstration during a seminar. The session lasted one and a half hour. I was fully focussed on what happened internally, but when I returned to the present I noticed one of the attendants crying silently. Quite obviously some part of the session had touched her and I immediately felt she needed some drop of Quince. I went to another room where my box was, opened it and picked – Quince.
Flower Essence Music Presentation
Lecture, music, food, dance ....
Dirk Albrodt, therapist, has compiled a CD with meditative piano sounds inspired by flowers.
What can music and flowers mean for our health? Let us take a look at the history and the archetypal meaning of plants and music. How does music affect our brain, behaviour and feelings. What role do flowers play in this regard?
The inspiring piano music of the cd „Flowers“ will be presented to you on November 17th, so that all our guests can experience the healing combination itself. Sound, vision, taste and movement create a unique holistic experience for everyone.
