tom o'brien's List: bach flowers

• "As Hahnemann laid down, all healing which is not from within, is harmful, and apparent cure of the body obtained through materialistic methods, obtained only through the action of others, without self-help, may certainly bring physical relief, but harm to our Higher Natures, for the lesson has remained unlearnt, and the fault has not been eradicated."

  • make reference to this is bach flowers presentation
• Dr. Bach's explanation for the healing virtue of medicinal herbs was that they "have been Divinely enriched with healing powers" and are "beneficent" and "blessed." A virtue has been placed in each of them which reflects a heavenly virtue. "They are able, like beautiful music, or any gloriously uplifting thing which gives us inspiration, to raise our very natures, and bring us nearer to our Souls." (4)

  • look at harmonics
• Dr. Bach considered remedies made from the virtuous herbs to have a "positive" polarity, while those fashioned from poisons were "negative." He wrote, "The remedies of the meadow and of Nature, when potentised, are of positive polarity, whereas those which have been associated with disease are of the reverse type." (6) [Exactly what this meant to Dr. Bach is unclear. I wrote the Bach Center for further information on this point. All they could tell me was that it was not a proscription against the use of homeopathic remedies. Dr. Bach may have been able to sense an actual difference between the two types of remedies.]
