Dosage Strategies |
|
|
|
It is often helpful and appropriate to
take several blends at a time. Usually your practitioner will design a
dosage schedule to help them work well with each other. If you are
choosing for your self this page will help you combine more than one
formula and we offer help in constructing and combining most
effectively. Feel free to call us with any question you might have.
All of the formulas work well together and some are even suitable for
‘cocktailing’ together.

Cocktailing |
|
|
|
Cocktailing is the practice of mixing 2
or more blends in a dose and taking them together without waiting the
normal 5 minutes between taking different formulas. This may be done
when taking the formulas under your tongue, or in water and sipping.
The most common reason for
Cocktailing is when you are taking several blends at one time with the
goal of achieving multiple things. For example you are taking HEALING
HEART to heal old pains, BRIGHT
MORNINGS to help the grief
flow away and TRAUMA
to close the wound. It is easier to take them together, and their
common healing focus makes cocktailing a natural way to take them.
Cocktailing can provide an easy way to simplify your dosage schedules
and still get the number of doses of each blend that you need during a
day.
As you learn more about our blends you
will find that many of them share similarities in their effects with
others. As you look closer and learn more you will see that each blend
also has variations that give it a signature that differentiates it
clearly from its similar siblings.
The other frequent reason for
Cocktailing is to combine several blends that functionally overlap
each other together in a cocktail. This enables their common goals to
create a super blend with even greater potency in an easy to take
form. The ENERGY
Cocktail and the Super PROTECTION
Cocktail detailed below are good examples of this form of cocktailing.
These 2 cocktails are so popular we have released them as GIFT
SETS.
If you are interested in cocktailing some of your own blends,
the only things to remember are don't take HIDDEN
ISSUES or TRANSFORM
ANGER in cocktails unless
your practitioner recommends it, and maybe it is best to keep it down
to 3 blends in any single cocktail. It is fine to do 2 or more
different cocktails in a day though. Remember to have fun with the
flowers as you learn the best ways for you to take them.

Focusing On Your
Goals While Taking Blends |
|
|
|
When taking a remedy, it can be helpful
to stop for a minute and think about what you are trying to achieve
with it. This centers you, strengthens the mental focus on your goals,
and connects you with your desired result and the flowers' gifts. This
aligns you to more easily receive the blend's effects. Some people
like to say something positive or make affirmation of some sort. This
can be helpful but it is not necessary to do any of these things to
get the desired result. Some formulas such as UN-STRESS
have been designed to be
used during times of stress and overwhelm. During these times it can
be particularly hard to get a moment and just sipping on the remedy is
all that is needed.
The DREAMS COME TRUE
(Sunflower Blend) however, is an exception to this. It has been
designed to help manifest your goals and one of the ways it works is
to manifest your spoken word. In this instance we recommend you make a
list of what you want to manifest and speak it aloud when you take the
blend. you could phrase it " I am taking this blend to manifest
the following goals. May these or even greater results flow easily to
me" If you are in a public place you can say it very very
quietly, or silently, and it will still help.

Day And Evening
Complementicity |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
Some people find that different day and
night formulas can help them achieve the desired effect more easily.
There are many combinations of formulas to use and it is an easy way
to ensure that each remedy gets an appropriate dosage level.
For example a good relaxing and
stress release combination is the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
UN-STRESS
(Yarrow Blend) during the day and the TRANQUILITY
(Lavender Blend) in the evening. Both are best when placed in
water and sipped frequently. The UN-STRESS
Blend is best during the day as it helps boost your calmness and
productivity when things are busy and the TRANQUILITY
Blend is soothing and calming, helps you release the day, prepare you
for a calmer soothing evening and a deeper more regenerative sleep. Both
are most effective when sipped.

Energy Cocktail |
|
|
|
We have 3 formulas that are helpful for
lifting energy levels:
◊
RAPID RECOVERY
(APRICOT Blend) which is excellent for
recovering from burnout, or overwork.
◊
SUSTAINABLE ENERGY
(NASTURTIUM Blend) which is good for
low energy and tiredness.
◊
ATHLETE'S SPIRIT
(GINSENG) Blend, which focuses on
lifting your energy, coordinating body, mind, and
spirit and working intuitively with others.
Most people will respond well enough
to one of these formulas when taken by the sipping method to feel a
major difference in your energy within 3-5 days. In more difficult
cases we have cocktailed the 3 to kick things up to another level and
achieved excellent results. These three formulas are available together
in our ENERGY GIFT SET.

Super Protection Cocktail |
|
Similar to the ENERGY
Cocktail, detailed above,
you can cocktail these three PROTECTION
blends together when one
alone may not have achieved your desired goals.
Taken by themselves
or in a cocktail, these blends are best taken by the sipping
method to maximize the number of doses and increase their effect.
The three formulas that focus on or include protective energies
for people who are sensitive are:
◊
UN-STRESS (Yarrow
Blend) is the one that includes protection as a part of its
broader goals. In this blend the protective factor is one of the
keys to regaining your center within busy or chaotic environments.
It then goes on to the goals of organizing your thoughts and tasks
and focusing your attention on the most productive first steps to
achieve everything to want.
◊ IMMUNE
ENERGY (Echinacea Blend)
is the strongest protective blend for sensitivity to external
environmental, personal or emotional energies. It strengthens the
aura, improves self image that allows negativity in and toughens
the edges of your aura to defend against negative external
energies.
◊ TRAUMA
(Arnica Blend) is designed for
those who have experienced a major loss or emotional event in
their lives that they are unable to release. It is designed to
patch larger holes that have been left in the auric field by major
traumatic events. Closing these holes make you less susceptible to
your own energy leaks and more protected from other people's
negative energies.

Catalytic
Formula Techniques
|
|
|
|
We have
3 blends that are catalytic, in that they can bring up emotional
issues as a part of the healing process. Obviously with using
blends that bring up emotions, the way you take them can help
the process be a smoother one. The primary goal is to bring
up the emotions at a pace that you can cope with, process
and learn from, and release.
The HIDDEN
ISSUES (Fuchsia
Blend) is best taken by starting with a single dose under the
tongue per day. for the first 3-4 days. then go to 2 doses a
day for 3-4 days, then 3 doses per day for a while, until you
feel some emotions welling up ,or releasing, out of you. You
can then speed the process up or slow the process down as you
desire, by taking more doses or less doses each day. This is
the strongest of all of the Catalytic Formulas.
The CLEANSING
FIRE (Geranium
Blend) works best by sipping a glass during the evening and
allowing your body, mind and spirit to process during the
night. This blend is broad in its effects skipping a night
or two if the processing and emotional release is going too
fast. It is the second strongest of the 3 broad Catalytic
Formulas.
The
NEW PATTERNS (Aloe
Vera Blend) works best by sipping a glass during the day over
a period of time. You can vary the number of sips you take.
You can take time off if it gets to strong. What is important
is giving yourself time to look at and understand what is
coming up from the past for release. This blend is broad in
its effects. It is the gentlest of the 3 broad Catalytic
Formulas.
The
TRANSFORM ANGER
(Willow Blend) Is less broad in it's scope. It focuses primarily
on Anger and works more smoothly when taken lightly at first
as well. Everyone seems to release their anger differently
but the formula can bring anger up for review, and deeper
understanding is part of the releasing process. Feeling it
strongly is a part of the process for some people as they
understand and release anger's hold over them. Then they get
to see what underlies the anger and work on lower layers that
were previously hidden. Dream release of old events or old
grudges or slights is common with this blend.

Well And Circle
Technique |
|
|
|
While using one of the catalytic
formulas to bring things up from inside (it digs the well deeply down
into your emotions and allows them to flow to the surface) you also
take one or more of the single emotion focused blends. It is called a
circle because the 4 single emotion blends stand around the well ready
to ease the pain as it arises. The traditional pattern is to use
HIDDEN ISSUES
and all 4 of the single Emotion Remedies as necessary.
They are
BRIGHT MORNINGS
for sadness,
grief, and feelings of depression,
COURAGE
for fear,
DISSOLVE GUILT
for
guilt and low self-esteem, and
TRANSFORM ANGER
for Anger and
resentment. Even though this last formula can be catalytic, it can
also be used in these situations to ease angers that may arise. The
first 3 formulas comprise our
BALANCED EMOTIONS
Gift Set.
In the traditional well and circle technique we use all 4 as helpers
as the emotions that come up often go through different phases and
require different remedies. You can adapt the technique to use just
one if it feels appropriate. |
