We Have Got to Start Looking At What Appears and Feel What Is

Hiking in Sedona Canyon

I have been working with Flower Essences (Bach) for over a decade and with Angels for much longer.  Though, I will admit that life has been more apparently struggle, resistance and opposition – to borrow great terms from Stevan Thayer’s Integrated Energy Therapy publications for practitioners  – for most of my memories. That is important to note too. We often strongly attach to the memories of struggle, resistance and opposition, because habit makes comfortable living. Well, as with many who s, r and o through life and its changes, and we find ourselves digging in our heals just to avoid slipping out of the comfortable rut we have dredged, there comes a place when life, like love, simply finds a way, despite our best efforts to thwart it.
Just the other day I was working outside burning off some flower essences – along with my recent resolve to really know and study the Bach flowers I also realized to my annoyance that I was in need of (at least) seven of them, to be taken three or more times per day for …well I’m still taking them – and having a time of it. (Like energy therapies, flower essences can reveal some unflattering truths we may have been closeting). It is a spectacular sunny, relatively warm forty-five degree day, light breeze – nice for early March in New England. I was busying myself with cleaning up and stacking the logs, branches and remnants of the pool yard fence that the fallen Poplar tree rendered free kindling. Lots of struggle, resistance and opposition flew out of me as I raked, stacked, threw and heaved.

If that were not enough, the tire on my log-hauling trailer gave way as I approached my last load of stumps. Finished, I rolled the heavy stumps out of the deflated trailer onto the lawn and rolled them into place to be hauled away at a later time. All the while I am rolling this wood like giant snowballs muttering to myself: what if it’s all just phooey. What if there are no angles anyway. Just quit it and forget about them. Soon I was done and brushing myself of sawdust and dirt when my five-pound Yorkie begins a barking – an alarm I have not heard before –at me. Except he is not looking at me, he is looking all around my body. Approaching him he gets louder but he does not run away. I smile.

Dino!

I pick him up and hold him. I am still smiling and ask – the Angels, the ones I imagined were not answering my calls – It’s you he sees isn’t it. He’s seeing angels and you are frightening the heck out of him! I get the nod. In my heart I feel the nod. Yes, we are here. We never left.
So back to where I forget I started. The Flowers. And Angels. I capitalize them. We have a true friendship. I love them. I love them like my flowers, like my dogs, like my husband and children. I love them and they love me. So what the Angels have shown me is that we no longer have to relive and review the pain of letting imprints go that flower essences and energy work assist us in. By calling on them, by asking straight out, come and be with me, join me in healing myself (in this instance, with flower essences). With the prayer to your angels and using the flower essences you can start living. Living like there is no tomorrow: in joy, in happiness, in laughter. It is as if the angels lift you out of the rut – not all at once. Maybe they know we love the rut and need a chance to say thanks, it’s been swell, see ya. Then, there you go lifted out and over it all. There are some really loving beings out there.

You and I and the dogs, the flowers and the Angles are just a few of them. Shift your gaze, but don’t stop there. If you are really ready to say goodbye to the rut call on the Angels become an Earth Angel yourself. It’s one of the best jobs I never knew I had.

It has been said the flowers and the trees will save us. The Angles will help if we want. But please! Ask for their help. They LOVE to be asked.

Author’s note: the flowers helped me so much and still do whenever I need a tweak.
