I hope the change of seasons has you in good spirits!

If you’ve been feeling down lately, I completely honor that, too.

As a Pisces & a highly sensitive soul, I’ve been trying my best to ride the wave of grief (& many other emotions) that myself & others have been experiencing as of late.

While it’s a different mix for everyone, I’ve been hearing that sadness, guilt, anxiety, overwhelm, anger, depression, & a sense that we’re, perhaps, being collectively gaslit have been coming up a lot for people.

Processing the heartbreaking atrocities we’ve been witnessing in Gaza and around the world, as well as a lot of frustration, uncertainty & fear about the future has felt quite heavy.

I’ve also been noticing a theme of people feeling incredibly stuck in their lives (for various reasons), which is something I can definitely empathize with.

Can you relate as well?

In typical water-sign fashion (with my moon, rising sign & north node in Cancer), I feel very comfortable in the emotional realm, and I’m happy to support you as you swim through those waters.

My partner Jason and I have been working as pet-sitters for many years (individually at first, and now as a team), and we’ve been giving custom blends to the pets we’ve been caring for, with great results. When used consistently, they can be helpful for separation anxiety, fears, attention seeking, aggression, jealousy, and many other emotions and behavioral patterns.

They can be incredibly beneficial during training as well.

Giving flower essences to animals makes it clear that there is more than the placebo effect at play.

Since we often affect and are affected by our pets behavior, it can be helpful for us to work with our own blend while our pet takes theirs.

I’ve had an opportunity to train with some incredible teachers over the years, and have been using flower essences personally for almost a decade.

The first essence I tried was Bach’s white chestnut, which immediately helped calm down my racing thoughts.

Since it worked so well, I set out to learn as much as I could about flower remedies — to get an understanding of the nuances of each flower, and to get a better idea of how they work synergistically when combined. I’m now trained in their use internally, as well as topically on specific acupressure points (This is known as Floral Acupuncture, and is the work of Deborah Craydon & Warren Bellows .)

They’ve been a wonderful support as I’ve worked though trauma, anxiety, self-limiting beliefs and fears.

Flower essences have helped me trust more in my inner knowing, giving me the confidence to make better choices.

As a highly sensitive person, they’ve helped me to be less affected by other peoples energy, and have enabled me to establish stronger boundaries.

They’ve helped me release excessive feelings of guilt & shame, and work through anger & resentment. They’ve supported me during moments of despair, or the “dark night of the soul”.

With their help, I’ve been able to get more centered, strengthening my sense of self, my self-worth, and self-esteem after emotional abuse & traumatic stress. They’ve given me the focus, motivation & courage to move forward during times when I’ve felt stuck in life. I’ve found them to be extremely beneficial when doing inner child work & reparenting. Flower essences are not a magic bullet, but with time, consistency, and the support of other therapies, they’ve helped make a lot of progress towards my goals.

If you’re interested in trying out flower essences, I’m happy to help. You would start by filling out a questionnaire, and I would then create a blend for you based on your unique constitution, needs, goals and life experiences. I’ll then go ahead and create your custom blend.

“I’ve seen some amazing results with these flower essences!  There’s been a noticeable shift in the way that I feel at a core level, that seems to grow exponentially with each bottle (I just finished my fourth bottle).  I’ve begun taking massive action toward my biggest goals with more confidence than ever.  I look forward to continuing to try new flower essence blends!” – David R, Chicago

Hello!

Saturday, March 4th was my 41st birthday. Since I’m still in celebration mode, I thought it would be a good time to share what I’ve been working on, and to send a special offer to you!

Click here to jump ahead to the deal

I’ve been taking some time to shift things at The Lotus Root and in my personal life. I moved from Chicago to a cabin in the woods in North Carolina with my sweetheart / partner-in-time, Jason, where we’ve been enjoying tending our garden, and working on various other projects.

I’ve been assisting Jason in running his graphic design agency where I get to put my art & business backgrounds to use, helping our clients level-up the identity of their brands, and get more clarity around their business goals.

You may have initially come across my work when I was creating aromatherapy eye pillows & natural body care products.

I’ve put a pause on those offerings over the last few years to take the time to delve deeply into my studies of flower essences & herbalism, among many other healing modalities that I’ve found to be extremely helpful: energy psychology (especially Emotional Freedom Technique), functional nutrition, nutritional psychiatry (the study of the effects of food & supplements on mental health & wellness), humanistic & medical astrology, trauma-informed care, and more.

I’m excited to write more about these topics in later emails & posts, as well as art, music, movies and books, especially as they relate to flower essence therapy and emotional health. [Sign up here for future email updates]

Flower essences (also known as flower remedies) are gentle & safe — yet powerful — botanical infusions, which enhance our mental, emotional & spiritual well-being. Unlike essential oils, they’re unscented, and flower essence formulas are generally taken internally throughout the day, for several weeks at a time (but ideally longer!)

Learn more about flower essences, here: What are flower essences? – The Lotus Root

It makes me so happy that I have the opportunity to be a bridge between this lovely natural healing modality and people & animals who can benefit from it, especially since they’re not as widely known in the US as they are in other countries around the world.

Treat yourself or a loved one to the gift of enhanced emotional well-being. Click here to find out how you can get started!

*Please note: I’m happy to work on a sliding scale for anyone in need. Feel free to get in touch so we can work something out that will best suit your needs.

If you have any questions about flower essences or are not sure if they’ll be helpful for you, feel free to reply to this email and let me know what you’re currently going through or working toward. I’ll give you my honest opinion about whether or not I think flower remedies will be a good fit for you — and I’ll let you know if I believe another professional or a different type of therapy/modality would better suit your needs.

I’m rooting for you!

Liz

p.s: A birthday request: If I’ve created a flower essence blend for you or your pet and you’ve found it to be beneficial, I would be so very grateful if you could get in touch and send a short testimonial that I can share. Thank you in advance!
