Astrological Essence for the Month
Towards the end of his life, Dr Bach was exploring the link between the first 12 Bach Flower Remedies he discovered (The Twelve Healers) and the 12 astrological signs.
Vervain Flower Remedy for Leos
We are in Leo season, the astrological sign that Dr Bach felt would most benefit from Vervain. Passionate, creative and loving, healthy Leo energy aligns the heart with the soul to create opportunities that serve the common good. Unbalanced Leo energy can lead to trying to change the world through sheer force of will and often results in burnout. If your astrological sun or moon sign are in Leo, Vervain will be a great choice to balance your energy.
Does your passion drive you to overwork, do you find it difficult to relax, or get tension headaches? Are you easily over-excited, care deeply about humanity but can be over-zealous in your attempts to change the world for the better?
The soul journey for Leo is to push less and allow more, relaxing into effortless flow. As vervain is taken, it brings relaxation to mind and body along with the ability to enjoy work in a more balanced way.
Your Feelings are Important
You have feelings because you’re meant to feel them. Feelings are part of the unique expression of who we are, they have a purpose and give us important information about how we engage with the world and navigate our unique path in life. When we’re in touch with our feelings, we connect fully with ourselves and other people, and our feelings keep us tuned into our intuition and in the flow of life itself.
Team Choice
This is where one of the Crystal Herbs team shares which essence they're taking and why. This month Sam shares his experiences of taking the Emotional Body Essence....
Emotional Body Essence
Is anyone else feeling the emotional ebbs and flows at the moment? I’ve been feeling a strong inner push to work on what feels like a rich seam of old buried emotions and it’s bringing with it a new and deeper understanding of myself.
It feels really liberating, it’s fun ( sort of ), rewarding and interesting, but equally quite intense and hard work. Well I suppose that seems to be the way things are at the moment energetically!
To support this inner journey, I’ve been taking the Emotional Body Essence. It’s a Flower, Gem & Crystal essence combination from the Rainbow Light Body Essence range, and as the name suggests it’s all about working with your emotions.
I always find this a really potent combination for doing deep emotional work and releasing old deeply held feelings. Often when I’m taking it I find I’m able to connect more deeply with issues that I’m consciously working with, and at other times there can be some quite unexpected things that come up to be released.
It’s a really, really interesting essence to use and if there is deep emotional work to be done, this is a very good Essence to support you through it. It’s one that I find I need to take from time to time and one that I will often recommend when working with people needing to clear and release old emotional patterns.

Essence for the Month
Base Chakra Essence
The Base Chakra Essence is all about working with fears and insecurities related to safety and survival, as well as grounding. If you hold old fears, have difficulties with ‘grounding’, feel disorientated, disorganized, indecisive, or have difficulty dealing with the pressures of life or fully manifesting creative ideas, then you might find this a really helpful Essences. The base chakra ( also known as the Root Chakra ) is located at the base of your spine and together with the feet chakras and the earth star chakra forms the basis for your energetic foundations.When your base chakra is functioning well it acts as an anchor point or grounding mechanism for your whole energetic system, which in turn provides stability, security and balance in your everyday life. When your base chakra is open and balanced, you feel grounded, safe, secure, abundant, and filled with vibrant well-being.
Base Chakra Essence‘When you can stay grounded and present with yourself and focussed in the current moment, you’re much more in the ‘driving seat’ of your life. From here you can make a choice of how to respond to life from a more connected, balanced perspective and old thoughts, emotions and beliefs are more easily managed and released.’

Keeping Your Balance in a Changing World: E-Light July 2024
In this month’s E-Light we are exploring the opportunities for deep transformation that are being offered to us and how we can best position ourselves to take full advantage of them. We look at the art of managing energetic intensity and how we can stay firmly on our own surfboard as we ride the waves of transformation this month. Picture of Catherine Keattch We also look at the cosmic energy flow for July, the need to manage our own vibrational frequency and the importance of avoiding distraction so that we can stay in balance, harmony and neutrality to help facilitate positive change. As always, we highlight some essences that might be particularly helpful to assist us to move through the month with greater ease and grace.
Keeping Your Balance in a Changing World
As we enter into July, the energies of change and transformation are beginning to increase in both speed and intensity and will continue to do so over the coming weeks and months. You, like us, are probably feeling that the speed of change has been intense enough as it is, but there is more still to come so it will be important to maintain an inner point of balance and focus that will allow us to successfully ride these waves of change. Currently the cosmic energy flow is clearly set out to guide and support us through the transformational process of expanding our consciousness, shedding density and opening the doorway into a new reality. This is why we can see more and more old things beginning to break down and start to unravel in the world in a much larger way...... [...]

Tips for Consciously Working With Essences…
4 Tips for Moving Beyond Fear
There might be some situations in life that have always triggered fear within you, without any obvious logical reason that you can identify. Look carefully below the surface of these experiences because here you will find the hidden gems of old patterns lurking in the back of your awareness if you are able to dig deep enough.
- Be willing to face up to what you are afraid of. When a vibrational frequency is as powerful and uncomfortable as fear can be, we often develop coping strategies which prevent us from fully feeling what we are experiencing. While this might have been helpful in the past we need to consciously step past it now, if we want to fully own the fear and allow it to dissolve.
- When you feel fear surfacing, take some time to breath yourself fully into the present moment and allow it to reveal the old story that has been keeping it in place.
- Be very mindful of anything that triggers patterns of fear within you, because these are excellent doorways into the stories and belief patterns that you are seeking to release.
- Review the patterns and beliefs that were passed down to you from your birth family, both consciously and unconsciously. Many fears and insecurities are collected up while we are still in utero and in the very early years of childhood where we unconsciously absorb the emotional responses to life that are all around us in our family circle. Just being able to recognise that something you have carried with you is not yours can be so helpful when it comes to releasing buried fears.
Art is like flower essences because both are transmissions of energy. Like an essence, art works on the energetic layer and shifts and transforms the consciousness of the person who’s perceiving it. And whether it’s art or essences, the more sensitive you are, the more you will be aware of how this energetic transmission is impacting you. Soul artist and vibrational healer Beki Crowell has spent her life exploring how the beautiful vibrations of nature dissolve patterns of disconnection and she is sharing her story, her wisdom, and a process for you to receive a transmission of Beauty for your heart and your soul.

This story is about one of the essences contained in the world-famous Rescue Remedy. My box says that this essence is for being impatient, irritable and quick-tempered. Yes, this is a story about Impatiens. You can read this lovely story on our Bach Flower Remedy site here:

Pink Rose Flower Essence: Transforming Deep Seated Fears
Fear is very common but it can be a tricky vibration to work with because it feels so real if you get stuck in it. It creates a very effective smokescreen that prevents you from seeing beyond it if you are not very mindful. We can all be affected by fear because it is a vibrational frequency that sits at the bottom of many of the old emotional patterns and stories that we have. Today we’re exploring the Pink Rose Flower Essence which is an excellent essence for when you feel like you cannot get to the root of a deeply held karmic fear or for if you experience general phobias or fears with no apparent cause in this lifetime.
