In Case You Missed It
FE Live: Community Chat π¬
Invoking Inner Quiet & Allowing Rest
In the Northern Hemisphere, the chaos of the holiday season is upon us. Yet the shorter, darker, and colder days remind us that what our soul wants during Midwinter is rest and reflection.
In this month's Live Chat we shared stories and discussed flower essences that help us cultivate inner quiet, allow rest without guilt, and strengthen boundaries around commitments.
Thanks to all who joined and participated in the chat - and we thank you for watching the replay too :)
Live chats are hosted by Kathleen β usually on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. We offer this to our community as a chance to interact with each other on flower essence topics of interest. These events are recorded and posted on YouTube.
Kathleen and Rochana welcome Heidi Smith back to the podcast! Author of The Bloom Book - A Flower Essence Guide to Cosmic Balance, Heidi is a psychosomatic therapist, registered herbalist, and flower essence practitioner based in New York.
In this episode we dive into her latest book, The Uncommon Book of Prayer: A Guide to Co-Creating with the Universe. After unraveling and reframing the term βprayerβ, we explore flower and vibrational essences that support divine connection, ritual, affirmation, and intention. Enjoy this illuminating discussion just in time for the Winter Solstice.
Kathleen and Rochana discuss the magical and healing benefits of belonging to a safe and soul-aligned community, while acknowledging the challenges faced by empaths and those recovering from toxic community experiences. We explore flower and gem essences for maintaining healthy discernment, grounding, and boundaries, for feeling more at ease so you can show up as who you actually are, and for feeling coherence in spaces with others.
The Flower Essence Podcast is hosted by Rochana and Kathleen, and is available in all the places you listen to podcasts. You can also watch the recording on YouTube, and read show notes on the podcast website.
