When I am in a space of wonder, the process of taking in thought and feeling of the heart, I tend to get frustrated. I do not want to lose the information that is coming to me; I want to remember it, that process of taking in thought and feeling. But if I stray from the language of the heart, I lose the message I am to learn, always fearful of forgetting and always wanting to write it down so I can remember. So, who are we? Our journey involves uncovering who we are through the lessons life teaches us and the decisions we make, which reveal our true selves. Also, the experiences of others that we observe, sense, or hear can shape us depending on how we embrace and internalize them. Yet, do these experiences really define who we are? When we look deep into our eyes and wonder who we truly are as a child of God, sometimes we forget who we are, or maybe we never really wondered, and then what do we do?  Does it define us through the challenges to refine love along the way?  Do we look in the mirror and only see the wrinkles on our face? Do we feel we need empathy for ourselves for a deeper understanding, no matter what the challenges we face each day? As we look in the mirror a little deeper and recall the strength, love, and desire we have to be the best we can be, well then, we can grow with each new thing we learn. Love creates beauty, tears create hope, and our hearts hold love deeper than we can imagine. We are fully connected to our Heavenly Father, no matter where we are in life. Whether we are soaring with inspiration or we are in the depths of darkness, we are His. We are intelligent. We are who we choose to make of ourselves; this helps us define who we are in all aspects.  Love defines who you are, while always reaching for knowledge.❤️ Debra

While sitting on a log by the ocean, I was pondering life, and a new insight shone upon me. The OCEAN If it could talk, what would it say… I am powerful, loud, and serene; I continually dance. I move in breath with the energy of life within me. I give, and I take. With the rapture of my soul, I glide upon the sand, then pull back into the whole body of water to which I belong. I intrigue people to ponder, to be grounded, and to think deeply. With each new wave that crashes against a rock and soars high into the sky, carrying its white splendor, I give people new breath, wonder, and solitude. The mass of my body is beyond measure. I am "Living Waters." Finding Balance in Life … Still Pondering; I was deep in thought about a family event that was coming up that night. We were getting on a boat to cross the ocean bay—a 45-minute boat ride!! There was a dinner and a show to be seen, and all my family who were with me were going. However, I was not excited about this boat trip, and 99% of me wanted to stay at the hotel and welcome them back when they returned! I had pondered two other times I had stepped forward onto a boat upon the ocean: Deep-Sea fishing, and another time in the San Francisco Bay on a dinner boat cruise. Both times, I felt deathly ill and swore I would never get on another boat in the ocean or the ocean bay again!! Now, it’s been years and years, and I have never stepped foot upon the deck of a boat with ocean water beneath it!! Why? I have been holding that emotional connection or experience for a very, very long time!! I wanted to ensure I would never “ever” forget it and make that mistake again. Every time I re-lived that emotional experience, it was as if I were there. I would start to feel sick and definitely NOT feel in control. Now, here is a keyword for me, “In-Control!!” I cannot be in control when I am not on solid ground. And you can take that however it’s worth it! But, for me, danger lurks beneath dark waters… be it physical or emotional. Thoughts getting louder; The time is getting closer, and I am starting my back-and-forth conversation, “Do I go, or do I not go? Do I go, or do I not go? That is the question I always ask myself when I’m not feeling in control or composed. Creeping in; While I was in deep conversation with myself, another thought timidly entered my space, which completely stopped the conversation I was having with myself!! It ruffled my feathers for a moment, but I decided I would allow it to speak. It could be a new perspective, a new idea, and it was!! The thought was, What if I took the time to ponder the thought that I had written earlier that day about the ocean, which moves differently than the earth? The earth is more grounded, while the ocean is more fluid. Allowing that thought definitely helped me to feel a little more in control, but I always have to be in Control. Just maybe it’s “Time to think outside the box.” So ... I thought for a moment, could I still be grounded with the movement that the ocean has to offer? Could I give new breath with each new wave? Could I intrigue wonder instead of fear? Could I dance with the ocean? What should I do? What if I let myself move with the Ocean? What if I moved effortlessly, swaying side to side, up and down, back and forth like a dance while smelling the Ocean breeze and being one in the moment!! Could I possibly be OK with that? Still pondering; So, I decided to try it one more time. With that thought in mind, I told myself again that if it didn’t work, this would be the last time… Listening; Listening to my intuition, my inspiration, helped me to make a new choice, a choice that gave me freedom to move forward again. I was still afraid, but the fear was not as strong because I allowed myself to see the other side of fear, which made all the difference in the world for me. The Ocean dance charged my lungs. I could breathe deep and then let it out with each new swell that moved up and down and back and forth. I just let myself move with it. It was so peaceful, not fighting against it, that it almost lulled me to sleep. The fear had passed, and solitude had entered my soul. I will always remember this experience when I tried to hold too tightly to something that needed movement differently through my body and emotions. What If? What if is a new part of my movement in life going forward. “Choices in life can sometimes hold you back. It doesn't allow you to find that space of wonder, the inspiration that we need to find the new parts of us, the joyful and playful parts, and the healing parts that are all waiting patiently for their turn. What will it take for you to find the balance in your life?” Debra

Chestnut Bud Are we overthinking it? There is a lot of components, which all has their own specific energetic movement. We can’t forget that we have a physical body and a spiritual body, which is our individuality, which makes up our soul. Our spirit is all-knowing; it is more intelligent than our physical body, and they have to work together on some level. One cannot live without the other here on earth to learn the things we were meant to learn. Some people are so emotionally sick, and there are so many things that they could choose from to help with the confusion they carry; nevertheless, they’re looking for help. When we realize that within our own selves, we have the constitution of our spirit that can also help heal emotional stresses.   Bach Flowers are a spiritually energetic plant-based healing tool for emotions gone astray. It is an Organic Therapy for our moods that move us in many emotional directions. 38 emotions to be exact!! Our minds are very complex. If you choose to stop thinking in a specific way that is hurtful for you and you can replace that thought with something more positive, then you will start to feel better. If you feel you need extra help, the Bach Flower remedies can help. We also have a Heavenly Father and angels assisting us, especially in times of great fear, so there are several different ways we can help ourselves through this earthly life with thankfulness for the grace of God, who has put these things on earth in many different ways for each of us to decide what works best for us. My conquest, my story, is probably similar to many others. Several years ago, six to be exact, I was very ill.  I sought knowledge and inspiration through prayer, and I was guided to Bach Flower, which I didn’t even know existed. I was inspired to fly to England to take the Bach Flower schooling courses to understand emotional health and its movement within me. I am today, not perfect, but so much more enlightened in all aspects of who I am, and there are still mountains to climb, there are still hard things to go through, there are also very beautiful spiritual experiences along the way. Connection is what we are all looking for through our healing. Dr. Bach brought value and purpose with the Bach Flower Remedies. He understood the properties and how they worked. Our ancestors before us were inspired to use healing properties from nature, also. Since the beginning of time, maybe they weren’t qualified in their understanding of how it worked, but the understanding came from a higher power to them. Within their soul, they knew it did work, and they knew there was a higher power guiding them just like Dr. Bach learned. One of the things that drew me to him was his love and understanding of God. Fast forward, we are all compelled to follow our hearts and the things that move us spiritually. I don’t believe that has ever changed since the beginning of time, as we are all human. In our day, we have more of an understanding of energies and how they work, and it still works the same throughout us, whether we were born in the beginning of time or now. Life has become more knowledgeable in a sophisticated sort of way to understand outside influences for good or bad, but I personally believe that since the beginning of time, there was wisdom that was learned in the age of time that they were born.   Maybe on some level, they had more of an understanding of things with all the knowledge that they received for healing. We also receive knowledge through healing. What you do with that knowledge is the key.  Are you going to use it for your good, are you going to keep it to yourself, and if you keep it to yourself, is it truly working for you? Sharing, I believe, is what Dr. Edward Bach wanted us to do. Wisdom is meant to share… Debra    emotionalflowertherapy.com
