Abandonment, Rejection Abandonment Heal, Unrequited Love Heal or Mother Healing followed by I Am Lovable, Love Yourself, or I Feel Loved
Addictions (see also CRAVINGS)
OPIATES Most substance addictions, including alcohol, result from emotional pain that you are trying to evade, suppress, or ignore. Our products can effectively enhance counselling and addiction programs and make breaking the habit easier
Begin with a stress-relieving control release essence such as I Am Flexible or Control Release. Then choose an appropriate essence to release thr causal factor of emotional pain such as Abandonment Heal, Mother Healing, Sexual Abuse Release, Trauma Release, etc. You may also need a supportive essence to provide greater fortitude, such as Strength & Resolve, Breaking Bad Habits and Beat the Cravings
SMOKING CESSATION Smoking is a multi-facted addiction--chemical addiction, hand-to-mouth habit, emotional satisfaction, and social rapport. So, it it very challenging to overcome.
Use an herbal detox protocol to release metabollic toxins. Try our Breaking Bad Habits protocol followed by an empowering essence remedy such as Empowerment, Success, Support, or Social Empowerment. Our products can re-enforce other protocols such as Nicotine patches, hypnotherapy, Acupuncture, etc
ADRENALINE The #1 addiction! Are you addicted to the energy or stimulation adrenaline provides? Do you consume caffeine or sugar daily, starting with your morning coffee? Adrenaline is as addictive as opiates, and can be harder to overcome
Adrenaline addictions often originate in childhood when a child is subjected to ongoing stress, insecurity, and fear. Your body becomes very readily conditioned to this stimulation. Eventually, you feel like something is missing when there is no drama or crisis to give you an 'adrenaline fix'. So, you crave stress-inducing foods such as coffee or sugar. Or you become a 'drama queen', attracting crisis, over-reacting, or focusing on the negative
The protocol consists of 3 weeks of Drama Free to start, and then 2 weeks off and 2 weeks on Drama Free spanning at least 15-20 weeks in total. A liver cleanse is also helpful and supportive in the process
IMPORTANT! When breaking substance addictions (including addiction to adrenaline), a metabolic detoxification protocol is recommended. Living flower frequencies are not suitable as the main protocol for overcoming drug or alcohol addictions. But, they can augment counseling and addiction recovery programs

Anger, Resentment, Animosity A healthy natural emotion, anger is considered to be negative or socially unacceptable. But anger is a VERY important emotion! It is simply raw or unharnessed assertiveness. That is why it is so often expressed inappropriately
Anger is meant to alert you to a violation of some kind--a boundary that has been crossed. You feel anger when something isn't fair or ethical, especially if the unfairness is about not feeling heard or validated. Anger compells you to speak up or take action
When you repress or suppress anger, or when you express anger inappropriately, it becomes disempowering. You can't set things right or act to get your needs met. Your self esteem and personal power diminishes. This can lead to depression and emotional shutdown
Helpful flower essence remedies: Dissolving Anger, Respect Me!, Divorce Heal, Serenity, I Am Flexible, Flow
Anxiety 4 common causes:
Type 1) Butterflies or tightness in the stomach or solar plexus indicates an underlying fear of something new and unfamiliar. It stems from a lack of confidence
Examples are fear of public speaking, anticipated events or changes in your life, a pending test or exam, a job promotion. Stress is a similar type of anxiety, but at a lesser level. Exposure to EMF's can also anxiety and stress
Helpful flower essence remedies: Courage, Rescue & Revive, Worry Free, Zen, I Am Flexible, Empowerment, Self Esteem, Uplifting Confidence, I Am Flexible, Adapt to Change, Support, EMF Shield, Clear & Protect, Brave New Future
Type 2) Chest area--may be caused by grief, rejection or abandonment. Grief also results from disowning parts of yourself, or bottled up love that has nowhere to express itself. The onset of a heart attack can also feel like this
Helpful flower essence remedies: Restore, Soul Retrieval, Broken Heart Heal, Unrequited Love Heal, Love Yourself, Be Kind to Yourself
Type 3) Thymus region-(high in the chest). Sometimes feels like a panic attack, strangulation, or overwhelming anxiety or grief. Symptoms may include agorophobia or feeling suicidal. It is often improperly treated with medication
The most common cause is potassium or iodine deficiency. If you can eliminate this as a source of the problem, then look for an energy restriction
The thymus is where your soul enters and leaves your body. So, restricted energy here can cause panic or anxiety. The emotional cause may be that you feel unloved or unwanted, or you no longer see a reason live
As energy travels up your body through the meridians, it reaches the narrowest point at your neck. When energy is bottlenecked and cannot flow freely ito your crown, congestion builds in the thymus region at the base of your throat. A thyroid imbalance or goiter may develop. You could feel as though someone is strangling you
The emotional root of of blockage in the throat and thyroid region is inhibition--a fear of speaking up for yourself. Your boundaries may be vague so people take advantage of you or treat you with disrespect. You may have an exaggerated sense of duty and feel responsible everyone around you. But, you aren't getting what you want or need. You may become a martyr, sacrificing yourself to gain love or acceptance from those you love, yet feeling misunderstood and alone. Eventually you may lose your desire for living
Helpful flower essence remedies: Control Release. Heart Healing remedies such as I Feel Loved. Self-Nurturing remedies such as Nurturer in Balance or Women's Vitality. Empowering remedies such as Soul Retrieval, My Authentic Self!, Respect Me!, Self Esteem, Self Acceptance.
Type 4) PTSD A trauma can create a lesion in your nervous system that causes a loop-back. The emotional impact of the event involuntarily plays over and over, whenever there is a trigger
Helpful flower essence remedies: Restore, EMF Shield, Drama Free
Type 5) EMPATH Your 6th sense picks up negative psychic energies around you, which can trigger low-level 'fight or flight' adrenal response. Or, you may feel other people's thoughts and feelings, but, not recognize when these feelings are not your own. This can cause anxiety, sadness, and moodiness
Sensitive or empathic people can also be easily traumatized by other people's negativity, or by violent television shows or movies, world events, heavy metal or rap music. The trauma does not need to be your own
Helpful flower essence remedies: Clearing protective remedies such as Clear & Protect, Shield, Empath Attunement, Restore, EMF Shield

Bullying Social Empowerment, Deep Wounds of Childhood, I Am Not a Victim
Childhood Issues What you experience as a child colors your entire outlook on life. Challenging relationships with parents or siblings, neglect, lack of nurturing, criticism, abuse, bullying, sexual abuse, incest, adoption, abandonment, rejection, foster care--these experiences teach you to believe that you are unlovable or flawed
Sometimes painful memories can bubble to the surface as the flower frequencies begin to raise your internal frequencies. This normally only lasts for a day. As you release your emotional baggage and shift into a happier, more balanced state, you begin to see your past from a higher perspective
Helpful flower essence remedies: Deep Wounds of Childhood, Father Issues, Forgiveness, Sexual Abuse Release, Karma Clear, Family Karma, Forgive My Past, Dissolving Anger, Respect Me!, followed by Be Kind to Yourself, Beloved Inner Child or Sweet Innocence
Cravings can be a sign of nutritional deficiencies. But, cravings often result from unfulfilled needs, longings or desires such as escape ... excitement ... reward ... belonging ... punishment
Craving dairy products can be a substitute for nurturing and belonging. Sugar can add sweetness and pleasure when life is dull or painful, or it can feel like a reward. Caffiene can stimulate an adrenaline fix when your nervous system has been overloaded by stress and you can't find energy from within. Eating chocolate produces the same neuropeptides as love. Craving salt can indicate that loving nurturing and self-care is missing. You aren't effectively releasing emotional toxins
The live essence of flowers can reconnect you to your core self, restore inner balance and harmony, and re-connect you to something larger than yourself, thereby eliminating the need for escape
Helpful flower essence remedies: see our Breaking Bad Habits page
"I am enjoying this essence. It feels satisfying ... and I feel that I do not want to stop taking it. It keeps me away from the sugar. Passed up on hot chocolate today and cake yesterday. I do not feel as anxious. My thoughts are clear and I am enjoying the shifts in my body" Pam M St Catharines ON
Depression Do not confuse sadness, grief, or despair with depression. Depression is numbness resulting from emotional shutdown. You shut down because you are either escaping from deep emotional pain, or feel powerless to get what you need or want. Depression can also result from chemical (neuro-peptide) imbalance caused by nutritional deficiencies, shock, emotional trauma, or a physical accident or head injury
Recent medical studies prove that depression is a greater cause of heart disease than smoking. In depressed people the blood platelets became more 'sticky', clogging arteries and veins. Interestingly, your blood has the same agglomerating effect when exposed to electromagnetic fields and ELF EMF's (cell phones and WIFI signals)
Flower essences restore your ability to feel. And that can be uncomfortable at first. But, it is the first step toward becoming happy. Learn why ...

Grief (see also Heartbreak) There are so many different components to grief, depending on what you have lost--a spouse, a pet, a child, a relationship, a loved one, a job, a marriage (divorce or separation), a limb, or a lifestyle. The common element is a sense of loss, a feeling of separation or isolation, and a sense of fear and trepidation due to impending change
Grief is highly damaging to your physical body, so address grief as quickly as possible. The longer you hold grief, the more it becomes a habit in your mind and body, and the longer it takes to dissolve it

If you don't see your value to others, how can you believe anyone will love you or that you are worthy of having abundance and success? If you can't relax and be your true self, your relationships will be based on an illusion, so you will constantly feel insecure, jealous, mistrustful, and needy
Helpful flower essence remedies: empowering essence fusions, I Am Lovable, I Am Deserving, Father Issues, Guilt Release
Martyr Martyrs are people help, who care for, and nurture everyone but themselves. They never ask for help or express their own needs. As a result, they rarely get their own needs met
Martyrs develop in childhood. A child may learn to people-please or pander in order to earn love, or as a way to keep from being abandoned or rejected, or to maintain safety by creating harmony in a dysfunctional environment

Stuck Everyone feels 'stuck' in some aspect of their life from time to time. You want to create change, but feel thwarted or are unable to figure out how to make that happen. You may not even know what you want or need to change--only that you feel the urge to shift or move in a different direction
Feeling stuck results from emotional walls such as lack of forgiveness, fear and resisting change, or a focus on logic and the rational mind rather than your heart or intuition

Victimized (see also Bullying) When you suppress your personal power or are unable to set boundaries, others will push, challenge and bully you--whether you are a child, an adult in the workplace, or in an abusive marriage
Often, those who are bullied are sensitive introverts. Introverts are thinkers, feelers, innovators. Introverts hold within themselves great unexpressed personal power and the ability to achieve great things. But, they tend to unconsciously suppress their personal power until they develop sufficient maturity, experience, and confidence to express it properly
