If you have been striving and struggling trying to get your talents out into the world with no results, you might be feeling powerless. Here are a few flower essences to help you take back your power and bring out latent talents. Desert Marigold flower essence from Desert Alchemy is helpful when you need to take responsibility for owning your power and leaving behind victim consciousness. If you suffered from a childhood of feeling powerless and continued to attract that sense of victimhood into your adult life, Desert Marigold flower essence can strengthen your solar plexus chakra and help you understand what it feels like to live your life from a place of empowerment. The more personal power and responsibility you are able to take, the less you will feel like life is pushing you around and that you are at the mercy of forces outside of yourself.
Once you are able to gain a sense of personal power, you may want to take Agave flower essence from Desert Alchemy to bring out your mastery into physical manifestation. If you have been doing a lot of inner work and are ready to see results in physical form, Agave can help you express your inner strength and talents.
For many people who have put in a lot of effort in life but just aren't seeing results, there are most likely blocks that are keeping your efforts from manifesting success. These blocks can fear of success, fear of taking calculated risks, holding back your true gifts, and more. These flower essences help you bolster your power and help you align your efforts with manifesting success on the physical plane.

The healing or awareness crisis: What is it and how can you move through it?
The often ignored or rarely discussed phenomenon known as a healing crisis or awareness crisis is something that people who use flower essences or partake in other types of healing work are familiar with. A healing/awareness crisis is a situation in which the person taking the flower essence will often feel exacerbated symptoms of the very issue he or she is trying to resolve using the flower essence. An example of this is discussed in this article.
Flower essences bring an undeniable clarity to a situation where it brings to the surface anything about the particular issue being dealt with that was hidden or submerged. With this new level of clarity, it is really difficult to pretend that the issue doesn't exist and often times the person is led to take some action. When an issue involves more than one person, what often happens is that the flower essence works on the energetic level and shifts are made. Other people around this person may feel that something is different even though there is no physical evidence they can point to. Subsequently, the behavior of others around the person may change (sometimes in a positive way and sometimes in a negative way).
More often than not, with any type of healing, what happens is that the person doing a lot of healing work on themselves shifts their energy to a much higher level; before he or she changes their conscious behavior, this energy shift is felt by others and triggers their issues. This discomfort in others often results in them lashing out for things that don't make rational sense. If you feel like you are facing arguments that hold no rational meaning or if you feel unfairly picked on or bullied, there is a very good chance that others around you aren't taking responsibility for themselves. It is not your fault. Your new, fresh energy can no longer hold a place for their negativity. You might wonder how in the world they are able to sense that when you haven't changed the way you interact. Energy healing is very powerful. If you walk into a home with a lot of negative energy, you can often feel it before you can identify any evidence. Similarly, someone who is used to a certain level of negativity actually struggles with positive energy. If someone is bitter and angry, being around energy that is positive sets them off even more. You are in no way responsible for that, but it is a warning to you that flower essences (or any other type of energy healing) are powerful and they will unearth and clear away old patterns.
If you are going through a healing or awareness crisis you have several choices. Some of those options are discussed in the article linked here. If the issue you are dealing with had something to do with those around you, some ways of handling the situation are to give yourself some space from those who are reacting negatively; talking won't necessarily solve something that isn't necessarily rational. For example, if you are doing self-acceptance work and it is in someone's best interest that you have low self-worth so they can control you, the minute the other person senses a new energy from you that appears more self-confident and self-assured, their fear of losing control over you is triggered. It doesn't mean you are doing anything wrong; it means that the situation of control can no longer remain the same. The other person may or may not choose to work on their own issues. In the meantime, you will either spend less time around that person or you will make a decision to completely stop interacting with them. You may also choose to slow down the process by stopping flower essence therapy and other healing methods until you can make conscious changes to your environment.
Healing using any modality creates change. Change in and of itself is not a bad thing; however, our mechanism for integrating change is important to long-term life satisfaction. Once we have a certain level of clarity, we will attract people and situations in line with our new energetic blueprint. We will no longer be operating from a place of childhood patterns or victimhood.
Not everyone experiences a healing crisis every time they take a flower essence or do healing work. This is just something to be aware of when you feel frustrated that things seem to be getting worse before they get better. With some support, love, and a new perspective, you will most likely continue on your healing journey and notice that your life improves a great deal. Unfortunately, in order for new people and opportunities to come into your life, you may have to leave behind situations that you have outgrown. Follow your heart and make these changes with compassion and calmness. Do not do things in haste or out of retaliation or anger. Allow yourself time to integrate the changes and make choices from a place of empowerment. You are responsible for yourself; those who truly respect you will allow you to change and they will deal with their own issues and triggers with maturity. Those who have controlled you, bullied you, or expect you to follow their command will no longer be able to handle being around you and your new boundaries until and unless they find a new way to relate. Give yourself the gift of freedom and healing by following through on what feels right to you while respectfully and consciously untangling yourself from drama and chaos.
Since the process itself can be rocky, you may consider taking one of the following flower essences for the healing crisis itself. Some flower essences suggested for a healing crisis are: Aloe Flower Essence, Crisis-Desert Emergency Formula, Desert Jointfir Flower Essence, and Zephyr Lily Flower Essence. You may also consider taking Bach Flower Rescue Remedy.

That elusive first step: Flower essences to help you get over procrastination
For those of you who have subscribed to our newsletter, you might remember this quote from the Special Report you received, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" by Lao-tzu. The special report suggests that a simple first step into the journey of flower essences is to learn more about them by reading articles and posts through resources such as books and articles as well as blogs including Manifest with Flower Essences. By learning more, there would come a point where you might feel inspired to try a particular flower essence and then over time, flower essences would become a tool that you could turn to at any time you wanted to make changes or manifest something in your life.
Today I want to address the factors that keep us from taking that single step. That first step. The resistance to that first step can often be overpowering. Just as you go to click the link to read an article about something that could potentially change your life or pick up the phone to make a phone call to find out more information about an interesting opportunity, you get sidetracked by something. You think you'll get to it later. You start noticing that this happens even for the smallest of steps, and especially for anything that could actually be useful or life-changing. You don't seem to procrastinate when it comes to buying a new dress or trying a new restaurant. Those kinds of decisions and actions are easy.
It's the stuff that really matters, that resonates deep within that seems to be accompanied by a wall that is impermeable. It's so much easier to watch some television or get a snack than to read the article that gives you specific advice on how you could manifest your soulmate or attract the job of your dreams. Of course it's perfectly valid to question whether any of that actually works because you have seen hundreds of ads and books and articles that promise you all of those things and never deliver. It's understandable. But do you ever wonder why so many of those things exist? Somebody somewhere must be benefiting from these types of things; otherwise why would they still exist? Market forces seem to indicate that such self-help material must be helping someone find his or her soulmate and someone attract the type of job that makes Monday mornings fun. But is this curiosity enough for you to try yet another thing that could just be hype? Your procrastination may stem from a need to have everything perfectly set up before you think you can get what you want. Deep down this might indicate a feeling of not deserving what you want. Desert Alchemy's Spineless Prickly Pear Cactus could be just what you need.
But what if your procrastination stems from not being sure of what you really want? You might try Desert Alchemy's Cliff Rose. What if you know what you want but just can't seem to "get all your ducks in a row"? What if it's just hard to put all of your energy and resources behind what you want? Try Desert Alchemy's Desert Broom.
The most useful thing I have found when it comes to procrastination is to find out whether you are willing to go into the first step of any venture with a beginner's mind. In meditation, the beginner's mind refers to a state of openness. Are you willing to see this step as an experiment to learn rather than accomplish something? If you go into any venture being attached to the outcome, you are putting too much pressure on yourself. It is understandable that if you are making a considerable investment in something, it's natural to want results. But most first steps seldom require a huge investment either in terms of money or time. Are you willing to take a first step and just observe and note what it feels like? Can you take that first step with the stance of a journalist and take note of what you learned? Can you take that first step and suspend judgment long enough to fully be aware of how you feel, what your intuition tells you, and what you can physically see and observe? This approach can go a long way to making the process of manifesting easier and more successful. Many times, the first step is the hardest. With the knowledge you gain from taking that first step, you can make a much more informed decision as to whether to follow through or not. Are you ready to take that first step?
