October 10 is World Mental Health Day and I wanted to share with you tools I can offer in the form of First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® that may support you if you are suffering with your mental health.
“Depression is the most common mental health problem in New Zealand. One in five people experience depression at some stage in their life.” Health Info – Waitaha/Canterbury
“Key signs include: constantly feeling down or hopeless, having little interest or pleasure in doing things you used to enjoy.
Other possible signs and symptoms:
- irritability or restlessness
- feeling tired all the time, or a general loss of energy
- feeling empty, lonely, mokemoke
- sleeping problems – too much, or too little
- losing or gaining weight
- feeling bad about yourself or things you have done
- problems with concentration
- reduced sex drive
- thinking about death a lot
- thoughts of harming yourself.”
I have suffered depression for many years. When I reflect, the common thread was I was holding back/depressing my soul from shining, dampening my inner spark or allowing others to hold me back in some way. For over ten years First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® have supported me on my journey with depression by helping to address issues around shining and standing in my power.
First Light® Flower Essence Therapy is a holistic healing modality, supporting the whole person on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. It has a shamanic basis therefore we explore the underlying issues, the cause of what is going on for you at an energetic level, that is creating your problem.
First Light® flower essences, No’s 1-36 focus on the personality, the part of us that takes things personally. Disharmonious emotions, mindsets, attitudes and states held at the level of the personality, such as “low self-worth”, “can’t see the meaning in anything”, “feels sad and low”, “self-doubt” can be addressed and transformed into positive emotions, mindsets, attitudes and states.
First Light® fern essences No’s 37- 43 focus on the aura and help address the seven fundamental traumas we can experience. When we experience trauma we may have avoidance, trust or boundary issues, “feels directionless or lost”. The 7 First Light® fern essences clear the negative energetic imprints held in the aura and restore it back to its energetic integrity.
First Light® tree essences No’s 44 – 50 focus on the seven main chakras which when functioning correctly provide inner harmony and balance. One indication they are out of balance is stress/anxiety. For example we may feel stressed or anxious about money, relationships or communicating. The 7 First Light® tree essences help to restore the chakras back to their energetic integrity.
First Light® seed essences No’s 51 – 62 focus on the twelve metaphysical layers of the DNA and “help restore the original divine blueprints or energetic patterns of right living at a DNA level.” As they are working at a DNA level, they support us with ancestral/hereditary and past life patterns. For example if there is an ancestral/hereditary pattern relating to depression, we can use the First Light® seed essences.
First Light® plant essences No’s 63 – 84 support us at the level of soul, the part of us that is here to learn, grow and evolve and meet and master life’s challenges. An inability to do this can be distressing for the soul. If we feel “despondent, gloomy” or have a “jaded outlook on life”, we can use First Light® No. 81 Tanekaha – Joy to potentially feel “happiness and optimism, a sunny disposition.”
What happens during a First Light® flower essence therapy consultation?
