It can be an interesting question because at various times in our lives, we&#8217;ll all experience moments  when we feel a deep inner need for change. A sense of feeling stuck and that  our inner journey has arrived at a fork in the road, an intuitive knowing that  something needs to change so that we can move forward in life. A feeling that we need to  be able to look at life from a different perspective.<\/p>\r\n<p> This inner need for change might  feel like a barely  perceptible inkling that something needs to be different, a quiet inner voice  saying that something is not quite right or no longer aligns with us in some  way. Or we might feel a a really powerful  inner push, a strong soul message, that  something just needs to change, and change now. <\/p>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystalherbs.com\/images\/flowers\/Bach\/Walnut-Bach-Flowers.jpg\" alt=\"Walnut flowers\" class=\"imageRightM\" \/>\r\n<p> When we come to make change in our lives, it can feel deeply  challenging, and often it&rsquo;s not always obvious how to move forward and address  the underlying causal issues. However, in my experience,  the inner push to make some sort of  change in our lives is usually a sign that we&rsquo;re ready to take the next step on  our inner journey. It might be that we need to align with life more  consciously, to step into the fullness of ourselves more deeply, to follow our  soul purpose in a different way, or to consciously create something new and  different in our lives. Change is not always easy, but I&#8217;ve always found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystalherbs.com\/flower-essences\/flower-essences.asp\">Flower Essences<\/a> are really good catalysts for helping you to make those changes.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Being Comfortable with Change and the Inner Journey<\/h2>\r\n<p> So where to start? A big part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystalherbs.com\/the-inner-journey-life.asp\">our life&rsquo;s inner journey<\/a> is being open and comfortable with making change from the inside out. When  we&rsquo;re present, accepting and in relationship with ourselves, when we can open  our heart to ourselves at all levels, change can happen quite quickly.<\/p>\r\n<p> Our inner worlds &ndash; our emotions, thoughts, feelings and  beliefs &#8211; are powerful creators, and shape how we see, relate and interact with  the world around us. And so, when we begin to shift our old patterns and perceptions,  we begin to see things differently and we step into the flow of change in a  very different way. Healing and releasing our old hurt, pain, fear, guilt,  rejection etc really does help us to create a lasting change and transformation  in our life and a ripple of change in the world around us.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Flower Essences: a Catalyst for Change<\/h2>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystalherbs.com\/images\/essences\/Flower-Essences_group.jpg\" alt=\"Bottles of Flower Essences - 3 x 10ml bottles and 2 25ml flower essence bottles\" width=\"273\" height=\"264\" title=\"Flower Essences\" class=\"imageRightM\" \/>\r\n<p> One of the really good things about flower essences is their  ability to be catalysts for change. When you feel stuck and you need to make a  change, the right flower, gem and crystal essences can take you straight to the  heart of what you&rsquo;re working with. They&rsquo;re really good tools for helping you to  unlock any old emotions, thoughts and beliefs that might be keeping you in an  old, stuck place.<\/p>\r\n<p> There are times when we all need this kind of help, when  even with the best of positive intentions we feel stuck and unable to see a way  forward. Usually, when we experience both the underlying push for change and  the feeling of being stuck at the same time, it means that there are some old  emotions or beliefs that are ready to be looked at and released. This might  simply be something within you that needs a little love and acceptance in the  moment, or it might be a much deeper clearing process. <\/p>\r\n<h2>The Joy of Feeling What You&rsquo;re Feeling<\/h2>\r\n<p> Facing how you&rsquo;re really feeling on the inside is not always  easy or comfortable, no matter how much experience you might have of doing it. And  this is especially the case when an old pattern or some deeply challenging  emotions are sitting just below the surface waiting to come out. <\/p>\r\n<p> Whatever it is that you&rsquo;re feeling, let yourself feel it. It  might be something that you&rsquo;ve worked with for years, for example for me, it might  be an old belief about not feeling good enough and all of the related emotions  that go with that. Or it might be a newer understanding that is coming to the  surface for you &ndash; survival fears, difficulties letting go, a deep sense of  loneliness or maybe some old grief. They are often not fun ones to feel, but  I&rsquo;ve learnt over the years that feeling what you&rsquo;re feeling is key to keeping  your heart open to yourself. It&rsquo;s always good to meet yourself and not to be  afraid of what you might find on the inside.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Flower Essences to Help<\/h2>\r\n<p> Feeling not enough or not good enough is an old pattern for  me, an old friend in the journey of my life, but one that has become much more conscious recently. I&rsquo;ve increasingly felt the inner  push for change around it but have equally felt quite stuck with it too. So, I  recently started taking a combination of flower essences with a particular  focus on this, and the essence has been a catalyst in shifting the old feelings  and beliefs around this pattern. As the essence helped to make these shifts, I reached a tipping point when  all the issues came more  fully into consciousness to be worked with, and I got to go more deeply into  what the heart of the issue was for me.<\/p>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crystalherbs.com\/images\/essence-making\/Queen-Annes-Lace-Flower-Essence-Mother-Tincture-Making-1.jpg\" alt=\"Queen Anne's Lace flower in a bowl - making a flower essence\" width=\"323\" height=\"323\" class=\"imageRightM\" \/>\r\n<p> This is what I mean by essences being a catalyst, and why essences  are so good at helping you to make change in your life. Bringing old beliefs,  understandings, emotions and thought patterns into conscious awareness is  incredibly empowering and this self-awareness is a big part of how we make  change and move forward. <br \/>\r\nEmbracing all of our emotions, thoughts, beliefs and stories  without judging them is a life-changing practice in self-acceptance, love and  compassion. Breathing into the space of our inner world, allowing the joy and  the pain, is all deeply cathartic, liberating and freeing. This is the power of  feeling your feelings, of walking the inner journey. It&rsquo;s not about feeling  good, or feeling bad, it&rsquo;s simply feeling. Simply being in relationship with  yourself and being you.<\/p>\r\n<p> Flower essences are really good facilitators in this inner  journey that we are all on together. It&rsquo;s a journey where the possibilities are  profound, beautiful and collectively never more needed.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"bloc50\">\r\n<h3 class=\"ftG\">Share Your Experiences&#8230;<\/h3>\r\n<p>We&rsquo;d love to hear your experiences of the transformational power of flower essences, so please do leave us a comment and share your experiences!<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"bloc50r\"><div class=\"blocOutl\">\r\n<h3>Flower Essence Shop&#8230;<\/h3>\r\n<p>You can find all of our handmade Bach Flower Remedies and Flower &amp; Crystal Essences here:<\/p>\r\n<a class=\"button7\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.crystalherbs.com\">Flower Essence Shop<\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Embracing &amp; Making Change What is your relationship with change like?
