The Bach Flower Essences are a great tool for self improvement.  Dr. Richard Bach (1886-1936), a British doctor, devoted the latter part of his life to discovering and cultivating  the hidden healing properties within the trees and flowers.  They can be an aid in a range of emotional issues such as  indecision, irrational fear and anxiety.  There are a multitude of remedies-38 in all.  They are not meant as a substitute for medical attention or true chronic depression and anxiety disorders...

How can we use colors to stimulate certain aspects of our lives through chakra awareness?   When working on growing my business I focused on red for about a year I wore it often (or shades of red, burgundy etc.) and surrounded myself with it for a year- I can say it really helped.  Red is the color that represents the root Chakra-survival, food and shelter-our basic necessities (all requiring money).  Red is known to be a color of “good-fortune”in many Asian cultures-coincidence...
