Shasta Daisy flower essence and the journey of co-creation between humans and plants

October 26, 2018 by Ruth Toledo AltschulerLeave a Comment

The Shasta Daisy flower essence is prepared from this vibrantly white daisy.

Its shape is one of a mandala, with a yellow center composed of many disk flowers following the ordered harmony of the golden rule, a principle that pervades the whole of Nature, as well as the universe of which we are part. This circle of geometric harmony is framed by clear white ray flowers.

What many people don’t know is that this daisy, is in fact a synthesis of many daisies, and this has a lot to do with its qualities as a flower essence. Read the full article to discover the history of this flower and all the facets of the research of this essence by the Flower Essence Society.

Taking my first Flower Essence: learning to listen with Impatiens

May 24, 2018 by Ruth Toledo AltschulerLeave a Comment

Finally, I would not have to just read about them: in May 1988 a visiting friend brought to me, from Holland, my first Bach Flower Essences kit!

I had read so much about them and could not wait to start using them.

I decided to take Impatiens as soon as my kit arrived, and I had a really powerful experience, perhaps the most striking of my entire journey of over 30 years using the essences.

Read more, and share about your own first experiences with the essences…

Self criticism and how we often find ourselves feeding repetitive thoughts that hurt us

July 5, 2017 by Ruth Toledo Altschuler1 Comment

Several generations of Pine cones

Let’s admit: we all have this, even the ones who act as if they trust they are the best people in the world. These negative thoughts are denser lines of thought / feeling, that divide us internally, making us feel separate from the Source of Love. And the reality is, they cut us off from the awareness of the web of Love that is always holding and weaving us together in Oneness.
It is not you, or me, but it is how our brains have evolved: when not fully focused on specific activities, our minds tend to wander into “what may be wrong”, either now, in the future or in the past (read more)….

Alchemical Love – embracing my inner child and the Mariposa Lily Archetype

February 3, 2017 by Ruth Toledo Altschuler3 Comments

It was a profound, alchemical, transformative encounter, the beginning of a sequence of experiences that resulted in the deepest and enduring inner healing I have experienced in my life.
All my life I had hoped that this “hole”, that caused so much anxiety, this craving to receive love, would be fulfilled by someone else. But the stories continued to come, in a regular succession one after another, with something in common: my expectations were always frustrated, because what I drew was abandonment and / or mismatch. And I would feel that terrible pain again and again (read more)….

Plant Archetypes: insight and references on living virtues, blueprints for sanity and wholeness

January 24, 2017 by Ruth Toledo AltschulerLeave a Comment

The understanding of the Archetype of each plant happens as we connect with its unique expression. The plant is observed in its dynamic change along its cycles from seed, to bud, to whole plant, to flower (when in that category), to fruit and back to seed. How it relates to the ecosystem it is part, its native origins in the wild.

We observe it on many levels, including its presence in myth and lore and its traditional uses by humans as food, medicine and ritual. When growing healthy, we look at how it relates to the soil and the cosmos and expresses planetary forces, and how it interacts with other plants, its pollinators and other living beings.

The full range of its gesture conveys an Archetypal expression.

...”If my soul could get away .... granted all the attributes generally bestowed on spirits, ... I should hover over the beauty of our own good star. I should study Nature's laws in all their crossings and unions... But my first journeys would be into the inner substance of flowers”.

Part of a Collective Mission

For a higher order of integration of all beings for an evolutionary dance of co-creation, weaving the Intelligence of Light and Life

Flower Essences support change, conveying Evolutionary Information

Flower Essences are preparations that capture information of the Life Force of plants at the peak of their flowering.
Through Flower Essence Therapy, we receive specific patterns of Nature's Intelligence information, captured in water. This evolutionary information impacts our multidimensional field, supporting us in changing attitudes, making emotional shifts and gaining renewed mental perspective.

Perfectionism, expectations and the Beauty of Acceptance

Perfectionism, expectations and the Beauty of Acceptance

Healing Synergy for Change

Essence Mentoring also works effectively in conjunction with coaching, other healing modalities and most wellness practices. Flower Essence Therapy works in synergy with other practices and programs that support evolution
