Zoë’s Birthing Essence Experience "Marion advised me to take Birthing Essence for about two weeks before my due date, but I had a strong feeling that my baby was going to be early, so I started taking it sooner than that. In the end, I used it for just over a week. I took the seven drops three times per day as suggested on the bottle. I had already had a wonderful, healthy pregnancy, and I really was in such a positive place about the whole experience that I never needed to use the acute case dosage. Duncan arrived nine days early, and I felt totally prepared and positive about the birth. My labour was amazingly short – mild contractions started at about 10.30 am, and he was born at 1.08 pm – he only just waited for the midwife! We had a truly magical home birth, which I shall remember forever. My body and mind were completely ready for the birthing process, and I felt what I can only describe as a beautiful, instinctive maternal strength as my contractions started. I was relaxed and calm, and felt completely in control and empowered throughout the whole indescribably wonderful experience. Duncan was a happy and contented baby, and is now a very loving and happy 4 year old. I really do feel that my sense of well-being and joy when he has born has played a part in him being such a contented wee soul. He came into the world in an atmosphere of calmness, wonder and love." - Zoë, Scotland SPECIAL OFFER - This featured Birthing combination essence is now 10 % off the original price if you order before the end of the month.

I felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness as it was six years since I had attended a course there. The exquisite gardens and calm ambience of the conference room make it the perfect setting, and I was immediately put at ease by Marion’s smiles and lovely welcome . Marion held the group energy brilliantly throughout the three day course, including during some emotionally challenging times for us all. On the first day, Marion talked about ways in which we could mentally choose remedies, and gave us fascinating information about miasms, karmic and genetic issues. She spoke about the stages of healing and extended my knowledge about healing at a soul level. She explained how we can open up to our soul power, re-connect to it and instigate change on a deep level. Marion guided us in a beautiful meditation that could be used to connect to a client, bridging into the Buddhic plane; revealing a core, unresolved, personal healing issue. The next couple of days were a dive into the depths of my soul! Although I am no stranger to intense personal work, I found that this touched me very deeply. One by one we spoke of our unresolved issues and what in our personality was blocking our soul’s true expression. I found this part was unsettling, as it brought to light some issues I thought I had already worked through and healed. Obviously, there were more layers to peel back! Marion and all the course members were supportive of the process. We all felt that the space Marion had built was safe and nurturing. A particularly valuable part of the course for me was the last day, during which we worked in pairs in a client/practitioner scenario. Discussing issues further, taking a case study, choosing remedies intuitively and mentally and testing the remedies in a practice session; gave me confidence. Thankfully, we had time during the course to write up our case notes whilst they were still fresh in our memories. 4 of 19 Findhorn Flower Essences - October 2010 Newsletter The course was pitched at the right level for me, with new information, the opportunity for time in the garden during breaks, as well as ample help both from Marion and friendly office staff. Supported by my chosen flower essence, I am now taking active steps towards fulfilling my soul qualities.

Michael, can you please explain what general anxiety disorders are? Throughout the following months, FFE will be discussing the four most prevalent anxiety disorders (general; panic; phobic; obsessive – compulsive). This special feature will address each disorder individually, by first identifying and explaining the disorder. This month we will be looking at general anxiety disorder (GAD). In America, anxiety disorders have lifetime prevalence 28.8%. This means that at some point in their life, 28.8% of the American population will suffer from a “case” of some sort of anxiety disorder (Kessler et al., 2005).
