Thoughts & Inspirations

Bach also wrote: "Disease is neither an error nor a punishment, but solely a corrective, an instrument our Higher Self uses to draw our attention to our mistakes, to warn us against greater ones, and to bring us back to the path of truth and light from which we should never have strayed."

Georg Groddeck too, physician, psychoanalyst and father of modern psychosomatics, at the beginning of the last century long interpreted illness as a conflict between the Ego and the Id, the vital energy present within each of us that allows organs and cells to function: the same energy deployed to renew the body's tissues, defend it and heal it. Today PNEI medicine, which correlates the psychic system with the neurological, endocrine and immune systems, confirms that health depends on the balance and synergy of these four systems: cortisol, adrenaline, free radicals and other molecules, when produced in excess, weaken the immune, cardiovascular, nervous and gastrointestinal systems.

Being attuned to one's needs and therefore to oneself, coming into contact with one's deep feeling and one's Soul, fosters health. Depression, panic attacks or states of anxiety can weaken it and, in a vicious circle, take us ever further from that feeling.

How do flower essences intervene? Bach flowers act by "information": each flower transmits a specific information that enters our vital space, defuses what led to the imbalance and modulates our vibrations. We are pure energy: let us pause for a moment, remain in silence, attend to the body. The blood flowing, the heart beating, the breath: everything vibrates. When we listen to intense music we feel an inner vibration that stirs our essence; when we are in love we vibrate so strongly that we are in full contact with it. Jung too stated that all reality is an energetic phenomenon.

An emotion lived too long produces repeated vibrations that cause an energy drop in a vital organ: first a tension, then an imbalance through the closing of the Chakras, the seven centres where vital energy gathers to be distributed to the network of meridians. Illness, according to vibrational medicine, is a disharmony between the vibration of the body and that of its Soul.

Einstein, with his E=mc², showed us that everything is energy: energy that is not destroyed but transforms, changes state, expresses a different frequency. Since atoms vibrate, and everything in nature is made of atoms, everything vibrates: so do we. And if we are beings made of energy, we can be influenced by energy: to act on the subtle bodies we need an energy vibrating at frequencies beyond the physical plane, such as that of the essences of flowers, gems, crystals and minerals.

Thus Bach, sensing that each flower has a vibratory frequency comparable to that of our emotions, prepared his remedies with the help of the four elements: Earth and Air to let the plant ripen to its balsamic period, Sun to release the flower's healing virtues and vital force, Water to retain the vibrations and the information they hold. The flowers act by restoring the right vibrations and bringing mind, body and Spirit back to unity: the human being is much more than tissue, blood and proteins. We also possess a spiritual dimension.

Everything has an important meaning: the death of that young person at that moment, and the suffering of their loved ones too. Perhaps that soul brought what it was meant to bring, and has much more to do. But this event, seen separate and isolated from the whole design, seems incomprehensible to us. Seen through our mortal eyes, and not through those of our immortal soul, it seems unjust and unacceptable.

It is as if I wrote to you: "a"… and from that single letter you had to judge who I am or what I think, what the meaning of my speech is. Impossible, is it not? Only when that "a" is joined to other letters does what it represented within a whole speech, or even a whole existence, begin to become comprehensible.

It is unjust, and remains so as long as you see life only horizontally. Or rather it is not, if you grasp its meaning, the real meaning of Existence. I know it is hard, but try to let Light come out of that pain, out of that darkness. We live our attachment to others and to life excessively, and we fail to see the beauty of life renewing itself and carrying on.

Watching a loved one die, or contemplating our own death, is neither easy nor pleasant: it is terrible, deeply painful, unacceptable to our mind. But it is perfect within God's design, within the cycle of rebirths, the cycle of evolution. A cycle that will bring us back into contact with our being Light.

My child, you who dwell on earth and feel worried, confused, disoriented, lonely, sad and anguished: I know your name perfectly, and I pronounce it blessing it, because I love you and accept you just as you are.

Together we shall build my Kingdom, of which you are heir, and in it you shall not be alone, for I am in you as you are in me. I desire that you always do my will, because my will is that you be humanly happy.

You shall have your daily bread, do not worry. But remember: it is not yours alone. I ask you always to share it with your neighbour; that is why I give it to you, because I know that you know it is for you and for all your brothers and sisters.

I always forgive your offences; indeed I absolve you before you commit them. I know you will commit them, but I also know that at times it is the only way you have to learn, to grow and to draw closer to me, to your calling. I only ask that, in the same way, you forgive yourself and forgive those who wound you.

I know you will face temptations, and I am certain you will overcome them. Hold my hand, always cling to me, and I will give you the discernment and the strength to free yourself from evil.

Never forget that I have loved you since before you were born, and that I will love you beyond the end of your days, for I am in you as you are in me. May my blessing descend and remain upon you, and may my peace and eternal love accompany you always.

"To surrender to me does not mean to fret, to be upset, or to despair, and then to turn to me an agitated prayer asking me to follow you. To surrender means to close peacefully the eyes of the soul, to turn thought away from the trouble, and to entrust yourselves to me, so that I alone may carry you, like sleeping children in their mother's arms, to the other shore."

"How many things I accomplish when the soul, in its spiritual and material needs, turns to me, looks at me and, saying 'you take care of it', closes its eyes and rests! In pain you pray for me to act, but for me to act as you see fit: you are not the sick asking the doctor for a cure, but the sick suggesting it to him. Pray as I taught you in the Our Father: 'thy will be done', that is: you take care of it."

"When you see that things are getting complicated, say with the eyes of the soul closed: 'Jesus, you take care of it'. Do this, all of you, and you will see great, continual and silent miracles. I swear it by my love. I will take care of it, I assure you."
