Flower Essences

One of the root causes of people’s health problems is unresolved mental and emotional stress. One of the simplest, but most effective, ways to help people resolve emotional issues is with flower essences. Developed by Edward Bach, an English homeopath and bacteriologist, flower essences can help people reduce stress, resolve emotional issues, alter negative thought processes, and develop spiritually. In this class, Steven will share insights into the ways mental/ emotional issues turn into physical health problems and how to use flower essences with a few other simple tools to help people heal.
