Yorkshire Flower Essences

Feelings of insecurity can range from isolated occurrences, for example, starting university, a new school or a new job, to a continuing feeling that will not go away. In all cases the origins are the same - the lack of personal power, of being unable to be “master of one’s own destiny”. It is the fear of the things that we cannot control that give rise to the feelings of insecurity.

The Bailey Insecurity Essence mirrors the sentiments of the Gestalt Prayer which can be paraphrased as follows: Give me the courage to change those things that need to be changed and can be changed, the ability to accept those things that cannot be changed and the wisdom to discern the one from the other.

The composite essence includes the following individual essences.

🌼Butterbur
Butterbur helps us to feel secure within our own being. Many people have a deep insecurity which dates back to childhood making it difficult for them to accept their own inherent goodness and worth. Butterbur works to dispel these old belief patterns bringing positive insights and a new self-confidence.

🌼Milk Thistle
Milk Thistle is for those who never knew a close, loving relationship early in their life. That lack of emotional closeness leaves a void - an insecurity that can persist through adult life. Milk Thistle helps to “pull the sting” from such experiences so that we no longer feel an inner void within.

🌼Moss
Moss is for the fear of the dark spaces in the mind. Such fears can be very subversive and can sometimes result in a feeling deep within that we are somehow “evil”. Moss helps to shed light into those dark spaces revealing a treasure house of hidden qualities.

🌼Sea Campion
Sea Campion is particularly suited to helping those who were, for whatever reason, separated from emotional support very early in childhood. Sea Campion helps us to discover loving and protective energies within ourselves that can neutralise those old feelings of abandonment and despair.

Many people suffer from low self-esteem, and it does not always show up as subservience. Over-aggressive behaviour shows a lack of self-esteem just as surely. The Bailey Self-esteem Essence is formulated with both behaviours in mind. It is also useful during times of temporary low self-esteem, maybe after not getting the exam results or the job that you wanted.

🌼Butterbur
Butterbur is for those who have had their self-esteem damaged from an early age. They may well feel inadequate because of adverse comments from parents and teachers early in their lives. They may have become convinced that in some way they are unworthy. Butterbur liberates and opens the way for the discovery of innate strengths and wisdom.

🌼Moss
Moss is for those who fear the dark spaces within their being. They do not recognise their innate goodness, surrounded as it may be by a mass of negative conditioning. Moss helps us to see that it is only our fears that we are really frightened of.

🌼Pine Cones
Pine Cones is an essence for those who feel trapped by the authoritarian powers of others. They fail to recognise their own authority and seek the approval of others for all that they do.

🌼Witch Hazel
Witch Hazel is for those who are always trying to live up to the expectations of others. Because they feel that they must never fail to help others, they drive themselves relentlessly.

💛We are happy to offer a 10% discount on the Bailey Self-esteem Essence until 20 September. Please use the discount code self10 at checkout. 💛

Many of us watched the eclipse earlier in the week. When the light changed, what did you notice? I think there was a moment of stillness as we experienced the changing light. As we watched the Moon 'eat' into the Sun, we remained calm and firmly rooted on Earth. In a similar way, the Bailey Mediterranean Sage Essence helps to keep us still and at peace while events change the world around us.

This essence represents all that is powerful within the element of Earth. It mirrors the energy and wisdom of the Earth Mother. It helps us to become firmly rooted in the material world. Such "earthing" is vital if we are to raise our consciousness to other levels of perception.

Mediterranean Sage has deep roots and it brings to us that same quality of steadfastness and dependability. It manages to grow where there seems to be little to nourish it. It thus has very close links with the earth and its inner wisdom.

Sage has always been linked with wisdom, but the flower essence made from plants growing in wild mountainous areas has additional qualities. This essence brings warmth and comfort as well as quiet wisdom.

Wisdom arises from an interaction between insight and experience. Experience is vital: without it, insight is just information that may or may not be correct. True wisdom is that which has been proved (i.e. tested) in the "furnace of adversity" of life.

Deep within us there is a legacy of this wisdom which can be awakened. Sage can catalyse and speed up this process. The insights it brings can awaken deep inner strengths so that we can remain unmoved and at peace, even through major traumas.

Sage essence also reflects the quality of stillness. The Earth element is very still, acting as a firm base for the other elements. Sage can help us to mirror this stillness within our own beings so that we can safely venture into other realms of reality. It acts as a stable yet shimmering interface between different levels of consciousness.

🌞We have this essence on offer with a 10% discount until 31 August. Please use the discount code msage10 at checkout.🌞

Our Bailey Obsession Essence has been created to support those of us who feel caught in repetitive patterns of thought or behaviour. Whether you find yourself dwelling on the same concerns, unable to let go of an idea or trapped in compulsive habits, this carefully balanced blend helps restore emotional equilibrium, encouraging calmness, flexibility and the freedom to focus on what truly matters. The following essences are included in the composite essence.

🌼Indian Balsam
Indian Balsam is included to help reduce the mental energy levels that are driving the thoughts round and round. It helps to quieten the mind and so reduce the tendency for the thoughts to keep on running in the same obsessive pattern.

🌼Ragwort
Ragwort is the key essence in breaking the loops of thought, enabling us to see the futility of such thought, whilst empowering us to break the self-sustaining problem.

🌼White Dead Nettle
Being obsessive and being addicted are very similar. Being addicted to something means that the body-mind system has become dependent on a particular form of stimulation. Take the stimulation away and there will be withdrawal symptoms, maybe powerful, even serious. Many drugs are known for their powerful addictive effects. White Dead Nettle helps to break the addictive aspects of thought patterns which can lock us in just as surely as addictive drugs.

💛This essence is available with a 10% discount until 24 August. Please use the discount code Obs10 at checkout.💛

As today is Yorkshire Day and we can see the Yorkshire fog grass shimmering mauve across Ilkley Moor, it seems a good time to look at the Bailey Yorkshire Fog Essence and its use in managing feelings of grief.

Yorkshire Fog Essence enables us to open up to the pain of grief and to shed tears that help to wash away our anger, frustration and sadness.

Accepting our hurt and anguish is a very necessary part of the healing process after bereavement or similar traumatic experiences. People bottle up their emotions because expressing their grief openly is not socially acceptable. But suppressing grief, trying to pretend that we are not seriously hurt, does not cure the problem. Burying our deep hurt merely means that it festers, sometimes for many years.

Yorkshire Fog helps us to open up to our grief, to express it openly, to weep cleansing tears. Grief is a natural reaction to what has happened to us. There is nothing weak or effeminate about expressing our grief openly, so long as we do not wallow in it.

Yorkshire Fog also helps us to move on from grieving to a new and changed future without feeling the need to drag the past along with us.

💚We have this essence on offer with a 10% discount until 17 August. Please use the discount code Yorks10 at checkout.💚

Memory, both positive and negative, is stored in every living cell in the body - not just the brain. When a cellular memory is triggered, there is an instantaneous reaction. These conditioned patterns emerge with such unexpected suddenness that they cause us to behave "out of character". They are a reaction, not a thought process.

Negative cellular memories are often due to powerful suppressions that we have experienced early in life, or perhaps in previous lifetimes. These often originate from parents, teachers or our peers. They can form guilt and fear complexes which can rule our life.

Positive cellular memories that have been suppressed can result in our feeling inadequate and disempowered. The power games that people play can have the effect of distancing us from our own inherent powers so that they are no longer available to us.

Inevitably, there will be changes in personality when cellular memories are healed and empowered. If we were always compliant and subservient to others (or conversely over-dominant), then inevitably such patterns will modify as we discover our own true needs and begin to honour them.

The Yorkshire Flower Essences composite Cellular Memory Essence is made up of Bailey Giant Bellflower, Pink Purslane, Red Frangipani and Wood Anemone Essences, as well as the Bach Heather Essence.

🌞The essence is available with a 10% discount until the end of July. Please use the discount code CELLM10 at checkout.🌞
