Hello, beautiful souls! Today I wanted to share a mini review with you of the Sun Infusion Flower essence blend by Pacific Northwest Essences in my current installment as part of my ongoing Flower Essence series on my blog! I don’t know if you know this about me, but I’m actually a licensed counselor & certified Wellness Coach with a masters degree in mental health. However, after working in the field, I found there were many missing pieces to the overall puzzle. I take a very holistic approach to my own life, so I was a very big advocate for helping my clients create a “toolkit” of coping skills that will empower them to take on all of life’s challenges that are thrown our way. So, now that I’m no longer currently working in the field after having my son and ensuring that all of his special needs are cared for, I still feel compelled to share some coping strategies with you all! Out of all the supplements in my medicine cabinet, Flower Essences have shaped my life and worldview the most. The shift that occurs with flower essences is so natural and so in tune with all that surrounds us, it just feels right.
So, let’s get a little personal, shall we? π
Depression
πReal Lifeπ Depression is a very real thing… It can seep into our lives in the most subtle of ways or it can wrap around you like tentacles that squeeze the life out of you, suffocating you slowly, day by day, until you just give up, give in, and settle for whatever life throws at you. When it becomes too hard to fight, to pull oneself out of this cyclical, consuming mind frame, this is when β¨flower essencesβ¨ have become my safe haven, my life-force, & my guiding light in this dark, winding path. I’ve struggled with clinical depression since puberty & although I’m a licensed counselor, knowing the right things to do and actually finding the will to carry out these tasks can be two very different things π .
As soon as I start to get that feeling of being suffocated, as if I don’t have enough air to breathe, I know I’ve been remiss in taking my flower essences. The past 5 years have been a whirlwind of self doubt, dealing with failure in the rawest sense, & coming to terms with some form of self acceptance of where I am in all aspects of my life.
πSun Infusionπ from Pacific Northwest Essences, is metaphorically “sunlight in a bottle” with a combination of flower essences designed to give the feeling of a beautiful, sunny day filled with eternal hope & promise. When taken at least 3x a day, within a few days, this blend begins to lift the heavy veil that is clouding my space. I begin to breathe more easily, I feel the beginnings of motivation to do “more” to take care of myself (exercise, be creative, complete projects, etc). I feel uplifted & inspired, as if I’m able to access parts of myself that were barricaded before. I’m truly amazed at how effective and QUICKLY I respond to this blend & I highly recommend it to anyone who struggles with similar feelings π. I can feel this energy shift inside of myself; the weight is slowly lifted off of my shoulders, and I feel more and more capable of taking on each day, one day at a time, with the help of Sun Infusion.
β¨*Update*β¨ I’ve been exploring Ava’s line of Flower Essences for over almost 2 years and I will never be without a bottle of Sun Infusion in my medicine cabinet! I feel a notable shift even with just once daily use! Optimally, 3x a day would be ideal, as I described above, but if you just remember to take it once a day before bed or first thing in the morning, you should still feel a difference taking place. Energy Healing is something that is relatively new to me and I’ve also been taking steps to ensure that stagnant energy in my body gets circulated on a daily basis (yoga helps tremendously with this) and there are many other methods, as well. Flower Essences are one way to ensure that stagnant energy flows freely in the body and can be utilized appropriately for various functions. This is definitely within the realm of alternative medicine & Holistic Wellness. One needs an open mind when entering this realm. It’s truly opened up a whole world of possibilities I had only dreamed of. I highly recommend giving yourself the same opportunity to open your world with an open mind & heart! π
I also recommend going to their site to read Ava’s detailed descriptions π, which are so helpful in deciding what blend is right for you. I have different blends for various purposes/times/seasons/life experiences in my medicine cabinet. Flower Essences may not be the end-all solution to all of your problems, however, they have tremendously helped me deal with these problems in a much healthier way, which is the foundation of achieving any form of positive change. Our mindset is at the heart of all of our struggles. If we can open our minds to a new perspective, we become so much more productive in other areas of our life. This will enable us to find a state of balance and equilibrium. So, if you ever feel that you’re in need of a little “boost”, I highly recommend Sun Infusion!
Sun Infusion is a pre-made blend that’s available with a few other blend options, or you can choose single flower or gem essence options that address different areas. You can also choose a Custom Blend with consultation, which is what I originally chose, highly recommend, and I continue to order a custom blend for my son!
