This lesson covers a broad introduction to the teaching of Dr. Edward Bach and the Bach Flower Remedies.  It provides some key resources that you'll use for all the remaining lessons. 

Here you will learn about how Bach divided all Emotions into Seven Groups.  Each groups contain specific remedies.  You'll also discover the power of Rescue Remedy.  This module lays the fundamental understanding for those to follow.

Fear seems to have a mind of its own and it wraps itself around our thoughts and feelings to paralyses us.  Fear, real or imaged, can affect every part of our life and puts us into 'fight or flight' mode. Fear also corrodes are sense of worthiness and our motivation. Recognising your fears is an important step on the path to emotional well-being.

Group 1 - Fear comprises Rock Rose, Mimulus, Cherry Plum, Aspen and Red Chestnut Remedies.

Loneliness is one of the most destructive of all our emotions. It robs us of our feelings of confidence and worth.  No one ever imagines being alone. We all need someone to talk to.  Loneliness is about relationships; our relationship with ourselves and with others.

Group 2 - Loneliness comprises Water Violet, Impatiens and Heather Remedies.

How we feel about ourselves colours and taints everything in our life. It also dictates how we interact with the world.  If life has plunged you into the depths of despair, climbing out of that dark hole can seem too difficult to handle.  The remedies in this group can help you take the first step back to emotional well-being.

Group 4 - Despondency and Despair comprises Larch, Pine, Elm, Sweet Chestnut, Star of Bethlehem, Willow, Oak and Crap Apple Remedies.

When we are not ‘present’ in the moment, we are either wandering around in the past or the future.  We can only think, feel and experience life in this moment of 'now'.  The past influences the present, and the present is your future unfolding. The power of these remedies will bring you back into this moment to enjoy life fully.

Group 4 - Insufficient Interest in Life comprises Clematis, Honeysuckle, Wild Rose, Olive, white Chestnut, Mustard and Chestnut Bud Remedies.

Bach wrote that we must be 'captain of our own ship' but that is much easier said than done. We get caught up in the ideas and expectations of others and frequently make decisions on someone else’s opinions, and often end up living someone else’s life and not our own

Group 5 - Oversensitive to Influences comprises Agrimony, Centaury, Walnut and Holly Remedies.

When someone or something is important to us, we can be driven to ‘fix’ things for them.  We often know just the ‘right’ way to do things so that their life is ‘easy’ again, and we often do this wholeheartedly.  But this enforces our will on others and therefore robs them of the opportunity to walk their own path through life.

Group 6 - Over-Care for Others comprises Chicory, Vervain, Vine, Beech and Rock Water Remedies.

We hate uncertainty!  And life is always throwing us challenges and it sometimes seems as if life is an obstacle course and we’re filled with doubt and insecurities.  So much that, in the extreme, we end up ignoring our intuition.

Group 7 - Uncertainty comprises Cerato, Scleranthus, Gentian, Gorse, Hornbeam and Wild Oat Remedies.

This module describes the various ways in which you can take the remedies, either directly or by mixing with other drinks. It also describes how to make your own personal remedy mix.
