Healing with Herbs

30^th October 2016 at 2pm starting in the herb garden!!

We need to know about herbs

Learn to make a herbal tonic, the benefits of fresh herb tea & how easy they are to use every day

You can find more ways to use these gentle living foods in every part of your life and should be drinking them, eating them, cooking them, growing them, rinsing your hair with them, taking them for coughs, colds, aches, tonics and overall balance.

We need to be foraging & finding them in the hedgerows and fields, creating space for them in our gardens and on the windowsills  – Herbs for everything that is right or wrong with us and for everyone in the family including the pets.

If you want to know more (and you should) come out and spend an afternoon with April Danann – let’s talk, taste, wander and wonder our way through some of the best herbs to use in everyday life, for every day stuff.

Will be another fun & exciting afternoon listening, learning, using our intuition and being one with our true nature! We will be making a herbal tonic, fresh herbal tea and discovering more about the deep cellular healing properties of nature's garden....

Herbs have changed my life......it's nearly been a couple of decades now of devoting my attention to them, but it never ceases to amaze me how much something like the weeds from the garden can alter, affect, assist & heal. 

Everything

The most wonderful thing I love about using herbs as my food, deep nutrition & gentle medicine is how they work across all parts of me (body, mind, spirit) as if there are no boundaries. How they work quickly, without negative side effects, how they pull me up as they work with me and communicate with the deepest parts of me.

In fact, I've gone from being a person who feared and didn't trust my body, which was shut down and closed up, to one who has watched her life literally unfold in layers of deeper meaning, passion and purpose. 

Our true nature is;   NATURE

It Doesn't Shift or Heal....Because It's Not Yours!

How much time have I spent working on myself over these last decades of my life….I have issues okay (don’t we all?!) and well, I like to take them out from time to time and dust them off (LOL, I think).....

Just to see how they are doing, because, to be honest, I have long felt as if I was going around in circles, thinking I had sorted through some huge emotional thing only to have it come back around a few weeks, months or years later.

Of course, our healing, like our energy source, is cyclical. We actually do move in spirals, patterns, responding to rhythms and cycles, in the exact same way nature does. 

Mother Earth runs through our veins too. 

But, getting back to healing our ‘beings’ – one golden rule of Energy Medicine has always been that we can only fix, change or heal - that which belongs only to us. If it’s not ours, we can’t do much of anything with it, except carry it around.

This used to actually be my life at one time. I had these ‘crosses to bear’ and would have believed certain things in my life had to be endured and it was just best for me to get on with it. 

Or basically, I thought I had to adjust my life, my hopes, desires and expectations in order to fit in a belief system that all I carried with me, was mine. So, I was left desperately trying to ‘fix’ many things that didn’t even belong to me.

But then over time (a long time) working with energy medicine and healing as I do – I have come to see how anything that doesn’t necessarily heal (within a reasonable period of time) is usually not ours and doesn’t belong there in the first place.

Let me explain….

Energy medicine is quite simple, really, something has come into our energy field, it doesn’t go out (because our defences are down?) so it attaches, then, it festers, and creates an energy block of some sort. 

This energy block can (and will eventually) result in some physical ailment when it has been around long enough or is triggered in some manner. We are aware of these, they have been apart of our bodies in some instances for lifetimes and for the most part, feel they belong.

These patterns and ailments often become so enmeshed within our own energy fields (they anchor in the central nervous tissues) it is difficult to know where we end and other’s stuff  begins. 

Next time you are attempting to sort through an old familiar issue that has been popping up for you from time to time…stop and do a physical check – is all of this even yours? Which part of this pattern might have been taken on from other generations or someone else’s drama?

You only have to answer for what is yours – and what you do about it.
