The Flower Essence Podcast

Rather than setting New Year's resolutions and diving headfirst to start smashing goals on January 1st, Kathleen and Rochana talk about a more Nature-based approach of first letting go, going within, and going with the flow during the dark days of winter here in the Northern Hemisphere.

True to form, Nature reinforced that lesson for us with the California storms (hello water element) that brought flooding and extended outages, testing our ability to literally go with the flow as this recording had to be rescheduled multiple times.

Learn about some of the essences we use to cultivate receptivity and calm flexibility for a more natural approach to planning and goal setting. We discuss:

• Baby Blue Eyes
• Almond
• Vervain
• Polar Ice
• Greenland Icecap
• Tidal Forces
• Rock Water
• Rock Springs
• Lavender
• Motherwort
• Wild Oat

Join us in welcoming in the year of the Yin Water Rabbit, which further speaks to the energies of this time. 💧🐇

We went to the movies! And saw Barbie! This was a rare treat for us, as we live on opposite sides of the county. We laughed so hard, then had a great chat about it during lunch, and we knew right away we wanted to discuss some of the themes in our next podcast.

We address some typical challenges experienced by those of us not at the top of the patriarchy:

• constant feelings of not being enough and having to work twice as hard to get less
• feeling obligated to do more for others than for ourselves and letting our self care suffer
• being too "nice" and putting on a happy mask to appease those with more power

We talk about essences for these states and to boost a general feeling of empowerment.

There's no spoilers except for a certain kick-ass monologue that we just had to repeat. But if you haven't seen the movie, go take some self-care time and do it!

Kathleen and Rochana address misconceptions about flower essences and how they work. Get answers to these common questions and concerns:

• Will they take away my stress?
• Are higher doses more powerful?
• How long will it take them to “work”?
• Why does an essence stop working?
• Can they help me endure an intolerable situation?
• Why can’t they fix all my problems at once?
• Can I take an essence if I’m allergic to the plant?
• If I feel resistance to an essence does that mean I should take it?

Welcome to the Flower Essence Podcast with Kathleen Aspenns and Rochana Felde. We are two Flower Essence Practitioners who love to share insights and knowledge about plants and their healing intelligence.

What Are Flower Essences?

Flower essences are vibrational remedies used in Flower Essence Therapy. They are liquid plant intelligence that balance our emotions, heal our spirits, and guide us in personal and collective evolution. They can be safely used by everyone, from infants to elders, as well as with our animal companions.

Please note that flower essences are not the same as essential oils, but we’ll talk about many forms of plant medicine during the show.
