“One year has already elapsed since a major earthquake struck the northern part of Japan on March 11, 2011. For us Japanese people, the past year has been a tremendous challenge—the biggest since the end of World War II. Under these circumstances, the Association for Flower Essence Education, Japan (AFEEJ), has continued to this day to assist volunteer relief aid work by dedicated flower essence practitioners.”

Flower essence therapy at ACESA Capuava - BRAZIL was implemented two years ago by flower essence therapist Vania De Grande, with the donation of FES and Healingherbs flower essences. Vania believed that flower essence therapy would be helpful for people with disabilities, their families, and the professionals who care for such children at the facility.

“Healing Touch for Animals® (HTA) is a hands-on healing method in which the practitioner uses her hands to clear, energize and balance the energy field around an animal's body so that relaxation and healing can take place. In the healing touch process, the animal relaxes, allowing endorphins to be released, muscles to relax, circulation to be increased, hormones to be regulated, toxins to be released and the immune system to be regulated – all these factors help to create healing.”

Practitioner Linda Cohen shares her insights into the use of Walnut and Manzanita flower essences:

“In my work as a flower essence therapist, the essence I most recommend to almost everyone these days is Walnut. There are so many important applications for this time-honored essence, that I am hard-pressed to see where Walnut doesn’t fit into a formula.”

“It's like peeling an onion; uncovering the reasons, trauma, and internal negative emotional energies which impel self-medication with food. There are many essences that helped me. One in particular, though, Manzanita, has helped me for many years to view ‘the body as the temple of the Spirit.’”
