Dear Reader,

The current window in between eclipses has felt like a good time for quiet and reflection. And for some of us, spending precious family time together on vacations before the school season begins. We hope you've been able to make the most of your August in the way it feels important to you.

We have more in the works you'll hear about soon, but for now here's your monthly flower essence nourishment:

FEP87 Why Healers Hide: The fear of being seen and where it comes from

The fear of being seen: an inexplicable dread around being seen publicly, in person or online, is common among practitioners of alternative healing modalities, flower essences included. Revealing our true selves, our spiritual, mystical, or intuitive selves, is a challenge for so many of us.

In her role as a business coach, Rochana noticed this and related deep-seated patterns of staying small that consistently blocked women from their business goals, and she saw it in herself as well. She noticed the difference between how visibility felt in the corporate world vs. in the healing world, and set out to explore why her nervous system was triggered so much more in the latter case. The rabbit hole she found was one that deeply resonated with her modern-day experience, past life memories, and connection to her ancestors.

In this episode, we explore where this fear comes from and why it’s persistent — we look at the roots of it as inherited transgenerational trauma stemming from centuries of patriarchy and the terror of the witch hunts. We bring in flower essences and gem elixirs as exceptional allies for the journey of becoming visible.

Sigrun Soley's Substack

Our student and graduate of practitioner training, Sigrun Soley, has a wonderful body of writing on Substack. She documents her journey with the essences through various exploratory lenses including astrology, parts work, and homeopathy.

For the last year, she's been creating an essence blend each month on the new moon according to the energies of the lunar cycle. I love her recent post on Monkshood, and the delightful insight she brings to Heather. Enjoy! - Ro
