Here is more information on what Kitty prescribed for me last Thursday….

Tissue Salt – SP96 (sodium phosphate)

This remedy, taken at the rate of 2 tablets chewed 3 times per day, looks to treat the Candida by restoring liver function and in turn bringing balance back to the bowel.

Tissue Salt – ML20 (magnesium phosphate, potassium phosphate, lecithin, dried yeast and natural vitamin E)

This remedy, taken at the rate of 2 tablets chewed 3 times per day, is supporting the metaphysical reasons for the Candida – my overactive mind and elevated stress  levels (and fatigue) as a result.

Bach Flower Remedies

The next 2 paragraphs are extracted from http://www.bachflower.com :

“Dr. Edward Bach was a British Physician, who began to see disease as an end product; a final stage; a physical manifestation of unhappiness, fear and worry. He therefore, began to look to nature to find healing flowers. Over a period of years Dr. Bach found 38 healing flowers and plants that with the right preparation became the 38 Bach Flower Remedies®.”

“The Bach Flower Remedies® are a safe and natural method of healing. They gently restore the balance between mind and body by casting out negative emotions, such as, fear, worry, hatred and indecision which interfere with the equilibrium of the being as a whole. The Bach Flower Remedies® allow peace and happiness to return to the sufferer so that the body is free to heal itself.”

Kitty dowsed and identified the Bach Flower Remedies to be used to make up my dose bottle (taken at the rate of 4 drops under the tongue, 4 times per day) at this time:

Aspen – Populus tremula

Centaury – Centaurium erthraea (or Centaurium umbellatum)

Trumpet Vine – Campsis tagliabuana

The following information is extracted from the Flower Essence Repertory by Patricia Kaminski and Richard Katz:

Aspen

Positive Qualities:  Trust and confidence to meet the unknown, drawing inner strength from the spiritual world.

Patterns of Imbalance:  Fear of the unknown, vague anxiety and apprehension (that fits), hidden fears, nightmares.

The Aspen personality has a disproportionately developed astral body, especially in relationship to the ego, or conscious awareness. [Astral body is the energetic duplicate of the physical body, and it is from this that passions, emotions and desires are conveyed to the physical body; connected to the physical body, but can travel with the mind during physical sleep time]. Such persons readily receive impressions from other planes of reality; however, these intimations are perceived on the subconscious level, and often produce feelings of fear and foreboding.  Aspen flower essence quiets and subdues the astral body so that the spiritual ego can gain greater strength and awareness.

Aspen essence calms and harmonizes the innate psychic capacities of such individuals, but allowing the conscious mind to receive and process more information.  In this way, Aspen brings greater strength and confidence, and balances use of soul forces.

Centaury

Positive Qualities:  Serving others from inner strength, with a healthy recognition of one’s own needs; acting from strength of inner purpose, saying “No” when appropriate.

Patterns of Imbalance:  Weak-willed, dominated by others, servile, acting to please; difficulty in saying “No”, neglecting one’s own needs.

The healthy soul needs to learn to balance its ego forces between the polarities of servitude and selfishness.  Those who require Centaury lack sufficient ego strength, not realising that the ability to give to and serve others requires a strong and radiant inner sense of Self.  Such souls are easily depleted and devitalized; and more importantly, they lack a vibrant individuality which is so necessary for soul evolution.

These persons are often under the illusion that they are being loving and helpful, but in reality they are not strong enough in their will forces to say “no”, or resist exploitation by others.  Their vulnerability lies in their reliance on pleasing others to receive self-validation.  Thus the compulsion to serve others is misplaced, for such a person neglects his or her own needs and cannot perceive the true, objective needs of others.

In this way, the Centaury type retards not only its own soul growth, but also the progress of those who need to learn from him or her.  Centaury gives beneficial strength and integrity to such personalities, helping them to assume greater self-awareness and self-responsibility  [How accurate is this - scary stuff!]

Trumpet Vine

Positive Qualities:  Articulate and colourful in verbal expression; active, dynamic projection of oneself in social situation.

Patterns of Imbalance:  Lack of vitality or soul force in expression; inability to be assertive or to speak clearly, impediments in speech.

The capacity for human speech – to ensoul sound with thought and feeling – is one of the most extraordinary of human gifts.  Yet for many souls, the ability to use the word as a creative force is stymied.  Trumpet Vine flower essence is indicated for speech which tends to be mechanical, dull or constricted, and can be very helpful for various speech impediments such as stuttering.

It does not directly address fear or nervousness, but is nevertheless beneficial for many people who curtail their expression due to feelings of intimidation or shyness.  With the help of Trumpet Vine, the soul is able to contact life energy residing in the lower chakras and to integrate these vital forces with the spoken word.  Awareness and interest is brought to the expression itself, rather than focusing on the perception or judgement of others.

Trumpet Vine awakens the warm and colourful feeling life of the soul, helping these qualities flow into the human speech.  As the soul learns to project and express itself, it grows in its creative capacity to share its unique essence with others, and with the world.

[NOTE:  this remedy will be great for my healing through my blog writing.  It I’m honest, I can already feel myself editing as I write for fear of putting into words things that are even more far out (from mainstream) than you’ve read to date!]
