πŸ”Š The Flower Essence Podcast

FEP88 Bach Flowers and Neurodivergence

In this episode, Rochana and Kathleen explore neurodiversity and the application of Bach flowers as a balancing, stress-reducing complementary therapy for people with Autism, ADHD, and other forms of neurodivergence.

We reframe some of the traditional, sometimes judgmental-sounding, Bach flower descriptions into a more modern, neuro-affirming framework that supports lived experience rather than treating brain differences as problems or disorders.

Rochana brings in her story as a late-diagnosed "AuDHD" woman as we discuss Heather, Pine, Hornbeam, Elm, Olive, and Agrimony in the context of common neurodivergent challenges such as executive functioning, sensory overwhelm, burnout, masking, self-focus, and shame.

Upcoming Live Chat πŸ’¬ Cultivating quiet power in a frenzied world As leaders and power structures continue grabbing money and power-over, amidst the aggressive noise of politics and media, we can be left feeling disempowered and resigned. In this month's live chat, let's talk about essences and practices that can help us access our inner authority and personal power β€” that inherent quiet force, resilience, and potential that originates within us.

And I don’t want to begin by asking us to push through patterns that may have been trying to protect us. I want to begin with support. The first ally I’m calling in...

Flowering Reader, Years ago, when I worked in the corporate world, I had a strange little habit. I kept yellow file folders nearby. I was just beginning to learn about energetic protection, and I’d read about the solar plexus as a place where we both project our own energy and take in the energy of others. So before difficult meetings or sometimes just walking through the office β€” I would hold a yellow folder in front of my solar plexus. It may sound funny, but it was my way of creating a...
