An excellent book on Bach Flowers and Chakra Healing

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

In the case of good health books, which I come across as a reviewer,

I consider it my duty to share with all of you the information since

we all need as much information as we can get about our health. So, I

am giving below my review of an excellent book on Bach Flower

Remedies with an added approach of Chakra Healing.

 

With very best regards,

I requested and received this beautiful book from NAB's publicist

after seeing an excerpt on the net ( a .pdf file) and the printed

book is equally good or even better in its get up and print quality.

This book combines the wisdom of Dr. Edward Bach whose 38 flower

remedies have established an excellent reputation from many users

since their inception, with the Chakras of Kundalini and their effect

on human mind and emotions. The authors are reflexologists and are

also knowledgeable about Flower Remedies and Chakras. The remedies

have been grouped into 7 groups corresponding to each chakra, its

color and its qualities. I am giving below the table of contents for

your ready reference:

 

1. Edward Bach

2. The Journey of Consciousness Through the Body

3. Chakras and Physical / Emotional / Mental Development

4. Balancing Positive and Negative

5. Crown Chakra and Remedies

6. Brow Chakra and Remedies

7. Throat Chakra and Remedies

8. Heart Chakra and Remedies

9. Solar Plexus Chakra and Remedies

10. Sacral Chakra and Remedies

11. Base Chakra and Remedies

12. Using the Remedies

13. Journal Keeping with the Remedies

Bibliography

 

Thus you can see that the book is a good welcome addition to the

already extensive literature on Bach Flowers.

 

Water Violet, Heather and Impatiens are clubbed with Crown Chakra and

are especially indicated for Loneliness. Similarly, Chicory, Vervain,

Beech, Vine and Rock Water are clubbed with Brow Chakra and are

indicated for " Overcare for the welfare of others " and so on. Each

chapter has illustrations of the plants and flowers, discussion about

the chakra and is followed by detailed discussion of each flower. For

each flower, the illustration of the flower, Qualities of the flower,

Chakra qualities are given on the left hand page and Positive

qualities, Negative state and The Action of the Remedy are given

along with the illustration for the chakra and the color on the right

hand side page.

 

This book will be a welcome refresher to students and practioners of

Bach Flower Remedies and of course will be a good introduction to the

subject of flower remedies for others. Even though, I already knew

most of what the authors wrote about the flower remedies, I enjoyed

reading the book since it refreshed my knowledge and gave a few new

perspectives on some of the remedies. I also enjoyed looking at the

beautiful illustrations of the plants and flowers as well as the

color indications for various chakras. Being a Hindu well exposed to

some esoteric knowledge, I am of course already familiar with chakras

and their role in our mental / emotional well-being.

 

I strongly recommend this book to students and practitioners of

alternative medicine. Patients too will benefit if they lack access

to a good holistic healer in their areas. I also recommend to such

people to also make use of my free online course on Bach Flower

Remedies at the following address:
