Bach Flower Remedies

One thing I learnt and was very appreciative of when I was part of TASK was the power of Bach flower remedies, and how they can really help deal with and clear emotional/negative mental states. Their power to resolve and help to dissolve feelings of Sadness, feelings of not being Validated, feelings of Grief, Fearful feelings, Anger and more is quite amazing, particularly when used with Kinesiological techniques.

For example using Kinesiology, you can muscle test any remedy, against any weak muscle. If a remedy is relevant the muscle will go strong, this indicates that there is an emotional issue attached to the weakness, the person does not even have to know what the emotion is. Although when told what the remedy helps with, it may well prompt the person to remember the problem and you can then help further with E.S.R.!

For the individual as well as a therapist the Colour Card Test is a combination of Max Luscher's colour test and Dr Bach's studies, and is an extremely valuable short cut to finding the best Bach Remedy for any situation which Brian Butler developed, which provided a result system also based on pairing the cards according to chosen order, to give a result linked with Bach Flower Remedies inline with the clients current emotional state which suited Sytematic Kinesiology treatment sessions. The results would be used as a conversational springboard during which time the practitioner would mix your selection of Bach Flower Remedies for you to take.

Max Luschers results were based on 1)The Desired State (What you are seeking), 2) The Actual State (How you are acting right now), 3) The Indifference (What is currently on hold) and 4) The Rejection (Your active sources of stress). The Lüscher profile would also be used as a conversational springboard rather than a final diagnosis. This is a summary so use the link below to explore his system further.

Dr. Bach wanted his system to be easy to use where you didn't need special techniques or mystical abilities. You just need to be honest with yourself and aware of your feelings. Dr Bach found a correlation between the way we feel emotionally and the way we feel physically, so that better emotional balance often translates into more physical well-being. A summary is you start by thinking about the way you feel at the moment. Do you feel worried? anxious? uncertain? sad? depressed? You would then refer to the list and find the remedy linked with your emotion. The list below is similiar to Dr Bachs although to use his system refer to link below.

I have supplied links below to the three individuals who made this test possible in their own way, worth a look when you have time.

* Max Luscher was a Swiss psychotherapist known for inventing the Luscher colour test, a tool for measuring an individual's psychophysical state based on his or her colour preferences.
** Edward Bach was an English doctor, bacteriologist, homeopath, and spiritual writer, best known for developing the Bach flower remedies, a form of alternative medicine inspired by classical homeopathic traditions.
*** Brain Butler brought Kinesiology to the UK under the name Sytematic Kinesiology in 1977, and further enhanced the use of colour cards in conjunction with Bach Flower Remedies. This was a game changer in regard to reading emotions and a very powerful tool to use on yourself or in a clinical session.

You can obtain the full set of remedies from Healing Herbs (Tel: 01873 890218) or buy them individually, although even for family use I would strongly recommend the full boxed set.

The Remedies are great for children and they really enjoy the colour cards 'game' which may guide you to find out what is going on emotionally, when they might not even know, or not able to express it.

Another very effective treatment is to put the remedies on topically to weak muscles or problem areas when an emotion is involved to communicate and reassure the body it is getting what it needs and that the problem is being dealt with and therefore can let it go!

Below is the list of Bach Flower Remedies. It shows what each one could address, emotional OR physically and the positive results that could be gained.
