This is a wonderful article by Medical Intuitive, Christopher Stewart.  For more information on medical intuition, or to schedule a health assessment session with him, visit his website: MedicalIntuitiveHealing.com . I have worked with flower essences for over 20 years and they are a wonderful, all natural tool for healing the emotional body and assisting with high sensitivity.

Empowerment for Highly Sensitive People

Article by Christopher Stewart

In her series of books the author Elaine Aron details the experiences and challenges of the approximately 15-20% of the population who are highly sensitive persons or HSP’s. We have all seen portraits of these people in films and books. They are usually portrayed as shrinking from the world, being weak, or overly shy and retiring.

According to Aron and others the trait of being an HSP is normal. Your nervous system is just more sensitive to subtleties. Your brain processes this information more quickly and reflects upon it at a deeper level.

As an HSP, you may be overstimulated easier than other people. You may feel more stressed out, overwhelmed and have problems with crowded public areas and social events.

In an increasingly more complex and interdependent world the abilities of an HSP are needed more and more.

The more we are in touch with ourselves, the more we feel our inner desire to know and be who we truly are. We want freedom to live as we are supposed to live, to fulfill our soul’s potential. When we don’t we suffer, however that suffering is a hunger for our true selves to live, to be free; it is a message that we want to return to our true nature.

For an HSP to embrace their essential qualities, to open to all of their abilities requires support, skill building and practice.

To empower and support the emotional body of HSP’s I have used flower essences with great success in my medical intuitive practice.

Flower essences are the vibrational imprint, or etheric pattern of particular flowers or plants prepared in liquid form. You can imagine, as science tells us, that everything – plants, animals, the Earth, stars – is made up at its very basic level of vibrations of energy. Then you can also imagine that every flower species has a particular vibration different in some way than any other. The energy of a dark red rose is different than that of a bright white lily in color, form, scent, texture, and so on. These tangible factors are associated with the flower’s individual vibrational pattern or ‘etheric essence’.

The vibrational pattern of each flower can be ‘imprinted’ in pure water through certain preparation methods – one used most often is the infusing (like making tea) of fresh flowers just picked in glass bowls of spring water sitting in bright sunlight. The water then takes on the etheric vibration of the flower, resulting in what has been termed a ‘flower essence’.

The 2 most used essences for HSP support are Walnut and Yarrow. Flower essences may be found at most health food stores, ordered online from many different vendors.

Walnut Flower Essence is the remedy to help to protect against outside influences in general, and against the effects of change in particular.

Walnut types are people who are fulfilling their purpose in life but who under the influence of the opinions, theories or beliefs of others or of external circumstances in general, may be led to doubt their path.

Yarrow Flower Essence – As the soul becomes more spiritually open, it necessarily becomes more refined, sensitive, and absorbent. In the past many of those on spiritual paths were removed and protected from the daily conditions of living, so that the soul could safely harmonize and expand its boundaries. Modern conditions require that the path of spiritualization be connected to the physical world and to practical responsibilities.

Using flower essences is easy. Just make a mixture of the essences into a gallon of spring water, and drink often during the day. You don’t have to drink the whole gallon in one day. When the gallon of water has been used, just make another mixture.

The subtle healing properties of flower essences restore equilibrium on all levels of being: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. They can enhance personal development and are a powerful aid to transformation. They offer us the opportunity to address outworn behavior patterns and negative states of mind which may contribute to or cause disease, emotional imbalance and spiritual disharmony. By stimulating the body’s inherent ability to heal itself, flower essences restore order from a higher level and help to strengthen desirable or positive qualities such as courage, inner peace, love or acceptance.

Honoring Your Gifts

Do you honor and accept the gifts that have been given to you at birth?  I’m not talking about physical, material gifts, but rather of the inherent gifts you were born with.

Many times those gifts are something that you take for granted in yourself, like natural talents, your intuitive abilities, etc.   Have you ever looked at them like they are a gift you were given?  Or do you take them so much for granted that you dismiss them and find no value for them?

Something to think about…

What if your natural talents are your reward for lifetimes of hard work?  What if they are a bountiful harvest waiting to be reaped, yet you overlook them and devalue them?

Are you rejecting your rewards?  Is there a bounty of untapped abundance waiting to be delivered to you?  There might be.  How will you know if you never validate the gift?

Are You Chronically Dehydrated?

“Chronic pains of the body which cannot easily be explained as injury or infection, should first and foremost be interpreted as signals of chronic water shortage in the area where the pain is registered. These pain signals should first be considered and excluded as primary indicators for dehydration of the body before any other complicated procedures are forced on the patient.” – Dr F Batmanghelidj

The human body is a bio-electrical water machine that requires a quart a day for every 50 lbs of body weight. The blood alone is made up of a large percentage of watery serum. The lymph fluids which transport waste and nutrients, comprising four times the volume of blood in the body, are made from the water we consume. Every cell that makes us who we are literally owes its life to an adequate supply of fresh, clean water.

When the body does not receive a constant, reliable supply of water, it has to ration what is available and cut back on certain functions to make the supply go round. Essential systems like the brain are prioritised, others are impaired or cut back until the brain has decided a reliable source of water has been garnered.

Here’s the rub. Most citizens have become chronically and dangerously dehydrated (especially the elderly), since we decided water was too bland to drink and ignored it in favour of tea, coffee, beer, wine, addictive sodas, flavoured water and other chemical-laced water alternatives. A disastrous and dangerous move for the body and society’s health in general, to be sure, compounded further since most doctors today cannot readily identify the many water-deficient diseases and associated pains. Thus the underlying dehydration process continues to wreak its havoc while the inevitable drugs given will switch off the warning signals (symptoms).

• Heartburn,
  
• arthritis,
  
• lupus,
  
• asthma,
  
• ‘high cholesterol’,
  
• high blood pressure,
  
• heart disease,
  
• cancer formation,
  
• hot flushes and menstrual problems,
  
• obesity,
  
• allergies,
  
• bulimia,
  
• chronic fatigue syndrome,
  
• ME,
  
• angina,
  
• lower back pain,
  
• gout,
  
• kidney stones,
