As soon as the lecture began, I was transported to a dimension of experience that, at the time, I would not have known how to describe: my eyes started shedding tears that I could not control, and the feeling was one of, on some level, remembering learning situations at another place and time …
Soul Experience
Taking my first Flower Essence: learning to listen with Impatiens
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.

And I would feel that terrible pain again and again (read more)….
Perfectionism, expectations, frustration and
the Beauty of Acceptance
We compare what life brings us with our virtual idealization of our expectations; in our minds, we stubbornly reject the pure beauty of the unfoldment of Life, by insistently wanting to have control over how things should be and look.

Frustration and unhappiness prevails, until we finally surrender. This happens when we learn to fully appreciate the exquisite beauty of the imperfect…(read more)….
