Dr. Bach said "Accept the flowers as part of your life" I, Blanca Bastos, accepted the flowers as part of my life from the first day I started the level 1 of the Bach Flower Professional Practitioner course. Before that, I had heard about Bach flower remedies and, in fact, I had taken them. However, I did not have an extent and correct knowledge about them. Once, I went to see a Doctor to have a Bach flower remedies consultation, she was a psychologist.

At that time I did not know too much about it, I only knew the Bach flower remedies were appropriate to balance your emotions. The Doctor asked me some questions, she showed me some little bottles; each of them had the extract of a flower and when she had finished her questions she took my hand and a pendulum. She passed the pendulum over the little bottles to select the appropriate flowers for me. In that moment I thought it could not be possible to select any remedy using a pendulum. Nowadays, I believe a pendulum can be used to select remedies or for any other purposes but not to choose and recommend Bach flower remedies to a client. I learnt this in the course, Dr. Bach discovered the flowers, designed a method to use them and he wanted that method to be followed by all of the Bach Foundation Registered Practitioners.

Some time later, I started to find out about important aspects to obtain high quality of life, like doing exercises, appropriate nutrition, entertainment, etc. and I put all of that knowledge into practice. I realized it was good and quite important to my body but I noticed that something else was needed; I understood I was not paying attention to my mind. So, I started to do a new research and Bach flower remedies appeared in my life again. I started the course and, as I said before, they are part of my life from the beginning. Now, I feel I have the perfect balance between my body and my mind and I became into a Bach Foundation Registered Practitioner because I want to help other people find the same peaceful effect.
