Happy Fourth of July! Or is it, for your pets?
When the bangs and whistles start, or else the loud thunder bangs of a lightning storm, your pet can take a sudden dive under the bed (or, as one dog-owner calls it, “heads for the bomb shelter”)

Fireworks can set your pet fleeing for cover!
Loud noises don’t seem to bother some animals. For others, it can be a nightmare!
If your dog, cat, rabbit, or horse is spooked by loud noises from storms, fireworks, or things that go “bump” in the night, you might feel helpless when your reassurance alone doesn’t seem to help. It’s like they’re having a panic attack! (In fact, they probably are.) Rather than give them tranquilizers (which your veterinarian might prescribe), instead try something that really helps: flower essences.
Flower essences for panic attacks and phobias support your pet by getting the “panic” circuits connected properly. What happens as a result is that they are able to experience what’s going on around them, without the layer of trauma that often accompanies habitual startle reflexes, or fear. Their circuits will help them understand that, even though there are scary sounds, it doesn’t mean THEY are in danger; they can relax and feel safe and secure in their own home. And that’s what everyone wants!
Our Phobias Formula was made for just these occasions. Get some on hand now, before the fireworks start — and have them on hand all through the summer storm season. Your pets will thank you for it!

As I write this, there isn’t much sun out there right now. But it’s the 2nd day of Summer — and there will surely be some sun and heat before the summer’s over. But I bet one thing you never thought of to help with the sunburns or heat exhaustion (for you or for your pets) is flower essences.

Dog Days of Summer
But flower essences really CAN help — with overheating, sunburns, sun stroke, heat exhaustion, and just plain too much of a good thing.

If your trauma circuits get triggered ~ which can happen in any of thousands of ways, from a hangnail to sudden news of a death or tragedy, or from an accident ~ it’s great if you can quickly and easily “reset” your circuits to normal, so that you can deal with what actually happened, without the added layer of feeling (or being) traumatized. Or in a panic.

Bad News
We all know what that feels like. It’s awful. And it happens way too often, for most people. But there’s hope!

Men don’t like flowers! (How many times have you heard that?) Well, it’s not true. Especially when it comes to flower essences.

This spring has been a glorious one for the iris. We’re blessed with several different varieties, all doing their best to be exuberant and lovely this year.
Here’s a peek at some of them:

And here’s another section, from the Japanese irises (more dainty but very robust):

And, last but not least, here are some of the deeper purple iris, that inspire spiritual thoughts and meditation:

So what patterns does iris carry? First of all, they are deeply creative. When you feel your creativity blocked (as in writer’s block), iris is your great ally. She will help you remember how to connect with your own creative energy, and reconnect with the greater Universal creative energy fields. This is about renewal, refreshment, and restoration of creative force and growth.
Let iris be your ally when you’re feeling a little bit “stale”. Iris will gently guide you to the playground, where creating stuff is fun and full of energy.
If you’d like Iris to help with YOUR creative flow, send me a message through the web site and we’ll get a custom formula made just for you!
