The Flag That Symbolizes A Growing Movement of Solidarity, Inclusion, Kindness and Peace

06/18/20 • 34 min

#005- Today’s episode is all about inspiring you and reminding you of the power we each have to make an impact in the world and to help create positive change toward the well-being of each other especially those who are marginalized in our communities -when we come together in solidarity.
The Rainbow Peace Flag Project started as the simple act of one person in one neighborhood in Natick MA hanging a rainbow peace flag at half mast in solidarity with those in the LGBTQ community following the bombing of the Pulse night club in Orlando in 2016.
This small but powerful gesture of kindness galvanized others, first in the local community and eventually grew into a movement that spread across the country and the world to thousands of people who hung these flags from their homes, their cars, buses, schools and businesses.
A movement that evolved the RPF into a beacon that condemns acts of violence and hatred, and stands for kindness and caring that extends beyond the LGBTQ community and also includes people of all nations, abilities, religions, races, political views, and cultures.

Release Old Patterns and Free Yourself from the Past with Flower Essences

#006
Have you ever felt like you're being held back by your past?
What if your most challenging emotional patterns and family relationship struggles were actually passed down to you energetically through your DNA because of intergenerational trauma?
What if you could free yourself from these binds and release these patterns at their root, with simple tools that work with your system energetically?
If any of this intrigues you and you'd like to learn more, you're going to love this episode with Flower Essence Practitioner and Family Constellation Therapist, Anu Gulati!

Here's a snapshot of some of things we talked about:

How our most challenging emotional reactions and family relationship struggles can be caused by unresolved issues and traumas in our ancestral line.
How we can shift these issues and traumas energetically with the use of Flower Essences and sacred ritual that honors our ancestors.
How flower essences differ from essential oils, and how essences can help us to shift us out of dark emotions (anger, fear, grief, anxiety, etc.) and into more inner peace and calm.

Plus-Anu shares her free tools to help you identify the intergenerational patterns that may be holding you back and how to tap into the underlying message and wisdom that your difficult emotions are trying to tell you.
