Affirm a Flower Affirmation Cards

Affirmations are a specialized activity within the larger field of soul processes such as meditation, contemplation and prayer. They are elegant and evocative words which enable the soul to initiate positive goals of inner development. It is a tenet of all spiritual teachings, as well as business and professional training programs, that the ordering of thought and the harmonizing of feeling have a powerful impact on our ability to manifest change, both within ourselves and within the world.

Beautiful photographs of 103 major FES and 38 English/Bach essence flowers. Visit the Flower Essence Kits page to see a list of flowers represented in the Affirm a Flower Cards. Photos by Richard Katz, text by Patricia Kaminski

The Healing Herbs of Edward Bach

By Julian and Martine Barnard

This is the premier book on the plants used by Dr. Bach to make the first English flower essences. It is complete with stunning color photographs and descriptions of the 38 English essences, portrayed with sensitivity and understanding. 190 pages.

"Just as we human beings are a subtle expression of divine creation, so too are the plants. They are imbued with meaning. They express a climate of forces that are essentially a part of us. They both reflect and create the way we feel and behave. At the physical level we can see our mutual relationship in the way the land responds to human activity. The relationship does not have to be destructive, it can create a natural harmony, but when we dominate nature we create something ugly where before there was beauty. It is greed and nihilism that have formed the ugliness of our environment, just as it is our love of life that makes it beautiful. If the flowers are being destroyed then a part of our soul consciousness is going too. This is because the flowers are an outward expression of particular patterns of life force, patterns that express themselves in us as thoughts and feelings."

Julian and Martine Barnard, from The Healing Herbs of Edward Bach

Bach Flower Remedies Form & Function
by Julian Barnard

The thirty-eight flower remedies discovered by Dr. Edward Bach were described by him as bringing courage to the fearful, peace to the anguished and strength to those who are weak. This is a book about the way these remedy plants grow and how they relate to human emotional states. It represents the summation of over twenty years of Julian Barnard's work, study and practice: it is both a reappraisal and a strikingly original account of the relationship between plants and mankind.

Searching for Cerato

Searching for Cerato, a DVD film, tells the story of Cerato, how it travelled to the West and how Dr. Bach chanced to found it in the summer of 1930. It touches the very soul of the flower, showing the spiralling beauty of its unfolding petals, the wild landscape the plant inhabits and delves into the mysterious symbolism behind this Chinese herb. The journey mirrors the inner journey of the Cerato type, searching for self-knowledge.

A Journey into Healing - Video

This video was originally produced for television by the British documentary film maker, Charles Stewart. It introduces the first group of remedies discovered by Dr. Bach, known as “The Twelve Healers.” Julian Barnard demonstrates the intimate and parallel relationship between the life of plants and of ourselves. We are very excited to make it available in the United States. Click here for more information.

Twelve Healers - Facsimile Edition

The Twelve Healers and Other Remedies was first published by C. W. Daniel Co. in 1936. Although the book has always remained in print, the text has changed. The 'Methods of Dosage' and 'Method of Preparation' sections, for example, were both removed from the back of the book after Nora Weeks (who had inherited the legacy of Bach's work) died in 1978. During the 1980s and 90s there were other revisions and additions which also appeared in the many translations. To commemorate Dr. Bach and his original vision, a facsimile edition of the 1936 publication has just been produced which follows every detail of the original letterpress book as meticulously as possible.
