What do I do as a Bach Flower Practitioner?

As a Bach Flower Practitioner I am often asked what the Bach Flower Remedies are or what is exactly what I do.

But first, let me explain in simple words what the flower essences are, and most importantly, how they can assist us in overcoming emotional setbacks or challenging times in our lives, despite our age, social or economical status, gender or country of origin.

The Bach Flower Remedies were discovered by Dr. Edward Bach in the late 1920’s in England. He wanted to find a better way of treating his patients. He realized that treating the physical symptoms was not enough. The person needed help to overcome his worries, fears, depressions and hopelessness. “Treat the person, not the disease”. Dr Bach was a very spiritual man and he found in the simple flowers on the fields the answer he was looking for. A gentle, yet effective way to help us overcome negative emotional states and find our true selves.

As a Practitioner, I offer my clients a safe, non-judgmental space where they can freely express their worries, fears, concerns, etc. I listen with attention and care and ask questions and take notes when appropriate. Towards the end of the session, I suggest one or more Flower Remedies, according to the specific emotional state of the person at that moment. As a practitioner, my role is to be a facilitator and an educator on the Bach Flower system as well as encourage my clients to feel confident on making the final decision on which remedies to take and why.

I always keep in mind and bring to my client's attention that using Bach Flower Remedies is a journey of self-discovery and self-empowerment, a spiritual journey in which instead of judging ourselves and others, and re-discover our own strength, self-love and self-acceptance. This, in my opinion, makes Bach Flower Remedies different from other therapies.

The personal journey of self discovery is what makes working with the Flower Remedies so unique and invaluable. Once we achieve more balance in our emotions, other aspects of our life will be positively affected. We gain wisdom and feel empowered.
