A small thing, but a reminder of the magic of spring, and also the life force that is in everything.  This life force, energy, whatever you want to call it, is in everything and in us.  Knowing this, we can find ways to help ourselves open up and cope with our lives more productively.

Energy therapies such as flower essences can be used in topical mixtures, such as I make, and also in misters to provide energetic relief to larger spaces.  Calming essences such as angelica, soothing essences such as the clovers- red and white, plus dill, just as an example, can be calming to both humans and pets when misted in a room.  Helpful for office spaces as well, whatever essential oils are appropriate can be added to promote breathing or mental focus or calm. (i.e., Eucalyptus, peppermint, clary sage oils.) These same ingredients can be used in baths for relaxing and restorative results as well.  Baths are very helpful for children, as an example, who have had stressful experiences and upsets.  An appropriate mix of flowers and essential oils can promote calm and balance.  Baths are also very helpful for people suffering from sinus headaches, any flu or cold, or muscular pains.  Rose geranium oil, as an example, is an excellent oil for those suffering from GI problems, and clary sage is very helpful for hormonal imbalances.  Properly selected flower essences can combine to make a really powerful harmonizing experience.

Hands on energetic work moves the energies in the body, allowing them to flow properly and break up where they are congested.  Some simple things you can do yourself, from the practice I use- Jin Shin Jyutsu®, are to just hold your fingers gently.  When you stomach is upset, hold your thumb. If you've overeaten or have frontal headaches, the middle finger is appropriate.  When you are stressed out, hold your little finger.  Worried about a presentation? Hold your index finger.   A sequence of JSJ sessions can help rebalance the body and stabilize  ongoing issues, as well as prevent disharmony from taking hold.  Immune function can be helped, as well as hormonal function and mental focus.  Relaxation is extremely important, and energy bodywork can really help you calm down.

An important thing to keep in mind, however, is this.  With any energetic (or, really, any) therapy, results may be unseen in the immediate moment.  But there is always something moving in the body and everything around it, and when this movement is encouraged to go in its proper direction, the result, however subtle, will be a positive one.
