Do Flowers Really Help Heal Children?

Posted on June 24, 2011 by anthony.rohde

While most people have a relatively normal childhood, there are some who go through suffering at such an early age. Some go through trauma, abuse, and abandonment. These issues stay with some children when they grow up. Whether hidden our out in the open, some people try to deal with their issues the best way they know how. But did you know that there is an alternative treatment that works best while we are still young? I’d like to call this “flower power” because this healing permeates through a child’s very being, taking away the mental, emotional and physical trauma and baggage that they would carry all their lives without this treatment.

One very special flower in particular is buttercup. It helps children cope with low self-esteem, “comparisonitis” or comparing themselves with other children, shame or feeling insignificant. This particular flower helps children get over their fears and their shame and other ill feelings, restoring their confidence and giving them a second chance at life early on. This way, they can be who they want to be and reach their full potential without having to overcome any future barriers as adults.

Essences from flowers also help heal wounds, old and new. It helps children deal with bedwetting, social learning, shyness, fears, neediness, daydreaming, hypersensitivity, abuse, trauma and abandonment. The mariposa lily is one of the most vital essences used by herbalists because it helps by providing nurturing feminine energy especially for children who are dealing with abandonment issues. This works even for children living in orphanages. It helps heal their wounds even in their youth, helping them cope in different situations, particularly when someone wants to adopt them. Their inner child is healed and they can go on to live normal lives as adults.

Children are more open to the healing power of floral essences than adults. This makes their healing faster and much easier than adults. Even babies can be healed by essences. Studies and actual practice has proven the healing power of essences. Even the simple act of placing essences in cribs has a healing effect on babies. And that is how flowers can help heal children. There are so many flowers Brisbane offers that you can choose from and the effects are astounding. Whatever your child’s problem may be, you’re bound to find help with floral essences.

Would You Like to Plant Your Own Rose Garden?

Posted on June 10, 2011 by anthony.rohde

A rose is such glorious flower to look at and smells so sweet. As its fragrance wafts across the room, everyone who comes into contact with its scent is instantly stimulated by the rose’s fragrance. Rose petals are so uniquely woven with such an intricate design – it’s like a master artist created each one by hand.

Come to think of it, roses are so beautiful they evoke such wonderful emotions that one can’t help but gaze at the wonder and mystery that surrounds this flower. Watching a rosebud unfurl is like unwrapping an enchanting present. Among all the flowers Brisbane has to offer, roses are the most awesome I have seen.

If you’re keen on planting a rose bush, try it using these simple tips:

  1. Pick a sunny spot in your garden.

    2. Roses thrive under the sun so it’s best to find a place with enough sunlight for your roses to bloom and grow and dazzle you with their colours in due time.

  2. Choose a place with rich, well-drained soil.

    3. Roses need rich soil so they can blossom and multiply. With their sweet scent and vibrant colours, your roses will be the first thing your guests notice when they step into your garden.

  3. Dig the right sized hole and fertilize your rose bush.

    4. Dig a bigger hole in the ground than the rose bush that you are planting and then fertilize the area before you lower your rose bush into the ground.

  4. Choose the right season to plant your rose bush.

    5. The perfect season for planting roses is during spring or early fall. Meanwhile, summer is also a great time to plant roses but you need to keep them constantly watered.

  5. Water your roses regularly.

    6. Roses need to be watered constantly or they wilt and lose their vibrant colours. Roses that are properly nourished dazzle and smell oh so sweet!

Make Things Right with Flowers

Posted on June 9, 2011 by anthony.rohde

Have you ever quarrelled with a loved one, knowing that you’ve hurt them but clueless as to how you can make things right again? That’s a difficult place to be in. Not knowing how to fix your relationship, what do you do? How about sending them flowers?

There’s something about flowers that never ceases to amaze me. They bring good cheer wherever they go. They express emotions more profoundly than any words ever could. They brighten up our days even during the darkest moments of our lives, especially when our loved ones give them to us.

Being in a quarrel is no fun. There’s too much ill feelings, strong emotions that sometimes leave a bitter taste in our mouth. But wouldn’t it be great if we could wipe out all the anger and bitterness with just one gesture of kindness? Like, say, sending a bouquet of white roses to our loved one? Flowers Brisbane offers a dazzling array of white roses – the perfect symbol for friendship and love.

Wasn’t it more fun when we were kids? We make amends for quarrels on the same day it happened. And then we play with our friends again and forget the fight ever happened. However, when we grow up, we let our feelings of anger and resentment simmer for days or weeks or even months. Some people even go years without talking just because they can’t forgive each other. Honestly, I believe the world would be a much better place if we could just share the love, let love wipe away the ill feelings and shower each other with affection and flowers.

How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?

Posted on June 8, 2011 by anthony.rohde

There comes a point in our life when our hearts get broken. We all go through it. Whether it’s because of the death of a loved one or a family member’s suffering, or when a lover leaves – a broken heart is nothing new to most of us. The question is how do we mend our broken heart?

There are many ways to cope with death, suffering or losing a loved one. Broken hearts will mend in time. But there are means available to ease our pain. Flowers can be therapeutic too.

The first step is to reach out to a loved one. Share our pain and start to accept the loss. That is the first step towards recovery. Next, we have to deal with our emotions. Learn to accept that they are normal and that we shouldn’t hold on to them. Instead, we should release those emotions.

Grief, anger and resentment are normal reactions to death, pain and suffering. After all, we’re human. However, we also need to let go of those feelings. Holding on to all that negativity brings nothing but bad things. That’s why we need to take steps to express, release and let go of those emotions.

There’s this unique theory that makes things even more interesting – celebrate our brokenness. This is more than just mere acceptance; we celebrate our weaknesses and brokenness. This is a great way of facing our pain. Instead of running away from our pain, we accept and even celebrate it. The funny thing is this is something that most people shy away from.

Can you imagine if you just wake up one day and say “I will celebrate my brokenness today!” and then send yourself or your loved ones flowers? Flowers Brisbane has the most vibrant blooms that are guaranteed to help you along with your healing. Then you spend the rest of the day doing things you enjoy like eating gelato at your favourite bistro, going to the mall or the beach, having lunch with your best friend at your favourite restaurant then heading off to your favourite day spa.

It’s not easy to mend a broken heart. But when we learn to acknowledge, admit and celebrate our brokenness, we learn to seek help from others and become a living testimony to overcoming a broken heart by celebrating the very weaknesses that have held us back from being healed in the past. And then one day, we wake up and realise that our heart is broken no more, healed completely because of our acceptance.

The Royal Wedding – a Fairytale Dream Come True

Posted on June 7, 2011 by anthony.rohde

The Royal Wedding was a fairytale dream come true, not just for the newlyweds but also for the whole world. Everyone watched in awe as the two most prominent couple in Great Britain exchanged their “I do’s”.

As the bride walked down that long aisle, everyone waited with bated breath, together with the groom, the future Prince of England. As Kate, the future Princess of England slowly walked towards the altar, dressed in the most beautiful and elegant gown this generation has ever seen, not everyone noticed that she was carrying the simplest bridal bouquet.

The bridal bouquet was so simple that not everyone noticed it right away. It was very subtle and quite small, made mostly of lily of the valley, as well as myrtle, sweet William and Hyacinth. Each flower was chosen because of their special meaning to the Royal family, the Middleton family and based on the Language of flowers. Lily of the valley means trustworthy, myrtle is a symbol of hope and love, while sweet William means grant me one smile.

The Royal Wedding is the stuff dreams are made of. The bride joins the groom as part of the United Kingdom’s royal family, a princess in the making. Their wedding is just as glorious, complete with so many flowers and foliage; you would think an enchanted forest was built just for this wedding.

Reports say that Westminster Abbey became a fifty thousand pound-forest, thanks to the active participation of the most artistic and gifted landscape designers and artisans. They made sure that over four tons of foliage, including 8 trees reaching 20 feet in height. The trees were strategically placed all around the wedding grounds.

The bouquet in particular, is quite simple yet elegant. You can design your own bridal bouquet and choose among the fresh flowers Brisbane has on display right now and have a fairytale wedding of your own. You can even ask your local florist to mimic the design from the Royal wedding. Sky’s the limit. The choice is yours. Best wishes!
