Ways to Detox from the Sins of Urban Living
All roads lead to?
A Whole Foods’ vitamins and supplements aisle. For me at least.
Fall of 2005, I was reading any literature I could find on Bach flower essences. For a certain audience, the lyric description on each brown vial speaks to the whole in a way that modern pharmaceuticals with their legal disclaimers and talk about neurochemistry cannot. Each vial contains a poem.
According to Edward Bach, there are 28 emotional states at the root of dis”ease.” His life’s work was matching each of these to a flower whose positive “energetic signature” promises to bring the suffering back into balance. Each vial answers the enigma of our emotional discontent with a poem. A few:
•Aspen – Helps you when you feel fearful without knowing why. The fear is vague and unexplainable and may hunt you day and night.
•Rock Water – Helps you when you expect too much of yourself.
•Wild Oat – Helps you when you are at a crossroad in life and are uncertain as to which direction to choose.
•White Chestnut – Aesculus hippocastanum – encourages a peaceful and calm mind when thoughts and worries go round and round in your head.
•Walnut – Juglans regia – allows you to make or adapt to major life changes and to fulfill your ambitions free from the influence of others.
•Willow – Salix vitellina – helps you to forgive past injustices and move on when you feel resentful and bitter.
