Maintain Your Health

There are many therapies which promote a sense of emotional and physical well-being. There are some massage therapies, aromatherapy, meditation techniques, yoga, etc. which help to establish a sense of total well-being. Flower essence therapy is a similar type of approach. However, flower essence therapy is also unique as it involves the use of vibrational healing, which is one of its own kind. It is based on the understanding of quantum physics and energies of flowers.

Therapy Using Flower Essence

Dr. Edward Bach thought that the dew which gets collected from flowers or plants retains some properties of the flowers or plant. These properties seem to be more potent on flowers which were grown under sun. As it was not possible to go on collecting dew, he decided to take flowers (which were exposed to sunlight) and let them steep in a bowl of water.

This is the story behind the flower essence therapy. Dr. Edward Bach is a pioneer in development of this alternative medicine branch. Flower essence therapy basically uses this water and not the flowers itself. The concept behind flower therapy is that all the living beings in this world have a tendency to naturally be in a harmonic and balanced state. Each matter vibrates at a certain frequency. When animals or humans are disturbed in any way this frequency changes in them and makes them imbalanced.

Plants and flowers have a certain frequency which is harmonic and balanced. When the flowers are let to be in a bowl containing water, this energy steeps in the water. Sun exposure tends to help sink this energy better into the water. Water is a universal solvent. Hence, water is used as a medium. This water after a certain period of time is said to contain the essence of the flower. The essence of the flower is not which is seen in aromatherapy. But, it actually is the vibrational pattern which has been absorbed by the water.

This water is then used on patients which can be animals and humans. Patients who have emotional or physical problems are given flower essence therapy with their normal treatment. Patients suffering from these problems become closed up and chaotic. Flower essence therapy helps to produce a sense of physical and emotional well-being in the patients. Patients tend to have an imbalanced vibrational pattern. The flower essences helps to change the vibrational pattern of the patient. This helps to harmonize the patient and produces the sense of overall well-being.

Flower essence therapy is administered topically or given orally to the patient. The standard dose for flower essence is four to ten drops which is generally given to the patient under the tongue. The dose is given around four times in a day. The potency is usually increased by giving more frequent doses of the essence. The flower essence which is produced by letting the flower energies steep in the water is collected and concentrated. It is stored for future use and the concentrated solution is diluted and then administered to the patient.

However, it is very important to buy the best quality of flower essence for therapy for the best results. Because, if pure flower essence is not used then the chances of healing are low. The best way to is to go to a flower essence therapy practitioner or a qualified naturopath who will be able to produce fresh and potent flower essence for you. There are also many commercially made flower essence available. These you can find at a health care store or online. But, make sure you are buying flower essence which are real and can help heal.

It is so weird that an activity as mundane and ubiquitous as breathing can be done in a wrong way. Yes! A recent survey says that most of us breathe in a wrong way. As kids our breathing pattern is just right but as we grow up this pattern begins to disrupt because of stress and other health problems.

An incorrect breathing pattern is said to be an indicator of something wrong in your system. And to correct that problem all you need to do is, consciously breathe in the correct way.

First Check How You Breathe

Before giving you the right technique to breathe properly I would like you to first test and check how you are breathing right now.

Either lay down, or stand up, or sit up-right comfortably on a chair and keep your right hand on your stomach and your left hand on your chest. Now, breathe how you would normally. Don’t be conscious and don’t attempt to change or correct the way you are breathing at that time. While breathing, observe the muscle movements in your entire body. Pay close attention to how the muscles of your stomach and chest are moving while breathing. Repeat breathing at least 7-9 times.

Ask Yourself the Following Questions

• When you inhaled where did you start to breathe from (Stomach, chest,..)?
• How did your stomach and chest move while you were inhaling?
• How did your stomach and chest move when you were exhaling?

Answer the above given questions and note down the breathing pattern observed.

Breathing Properly: 4-7-8 Breathing

Now that you have an idea as to how you breathe let’s now look at how you are supposed to breathe and compare them both.

The correct of way of breathing is by inhaling the air in about 4 counts and it should reach your abdomen. Now hold your breath for 7 counts and then exhale slowly in 8 counts. These counts are more or less same for everyone and therefore, the correct breathing technique is also known as the ’4-7-8 breathing technique’. Now when you breathe in, your stomach will pull inside and your chest will rise outwards. And, when you exhale your stomach muscles will move outwards and your chest will move inwards.

To check if you are breathing correctly or not, place your right hand on your stomach and your left hand on your chest and take deep breaths. You breath should reach your abdomen and then you should slowly exhale it, following the technique given above. Now, if your stomach is rising more than your chest while you breath then you are breathing the right way.

If you were breathing in the way described above then, that’s great, you are in a much better position than most of the people. And, if you following the wrong breathing pattern then, consciously practice the above mentioned 4-7-8 breathing technique daily for about 10 to 15 minutes. Don’t exert yourself or else it may end up making you dizzy. Practice it for a short span but do it regularly and gradually increase the time span. Soon you will get accustomed to the right breathing practice and you will breath correctly even unconsciously.

Breathing in the right manner is not just beneficial but an essential activity for you to be able to manage and perform chores efficiently. Incorrect breathing, or shallow breathing leads to many health problems. It does not allow sufficient oxygen to reach your brain, and can affect its basic functioning. If you are not breathing properly then it also shows up in your sleeping pattern which leads to a chain reaction of spoiling your mood and spirit. It is surprising but, an incorrect breathing pattern also leads to increase in a person’s weight and also decreases immunity.

You may now understand how essential breathing correctly is. Though, there is nothing to worry about if you were going wrong when you took the test, but what is important is that you try to improve your breathing pattern now. Don’t give up on it and soon you will get it right. An activity that we take for granted can actually cause serious health problems. Whenever you are in stress, breathing in the right way can release your stress. Whenever you get time, while at work, or watching TV, or eating food, etc, observe how you are breathing and if it is wrong, then correct it immediately.
