Shame, judgement, unworthiness, and comparison-itis rear their shadowy heads. But there are some lovely and transformational flower essences that help us let go of those things in order to see and appreciate our true, authentic selves.

Kathleen and Rochana explore the challenging terrain of toxic shame that is forged by experiences of emotional and physical abuse. Flower essences can help lift the burden and bring to our conscious awareness the realization there is nothing wrong with us, we deserve to be here, and we are enough — regardless of what we might have been told in the past.

Warning: this episode includes some personal stories of abuse and may be triggering for some.

Join us for a wide ranging discussion with Isha Lerner – astrologer, author, flower essence producer and consultant – as we explore the intersection of flower essences and astrology. We talk about:

• Isha's formative experiences at Findhorn in Scotland, and how her studies of flower essences, astrology and tarot came together in her work guiding people into awareness of their lives as mythic journeys.
• Insights of the natal chart as a type of signature and how this can inform the process of transforming difficult aspects into gifts.
• How to work through karmic imprints to discover the beauty of the original Self.
• How generational patterns from outer planet placements also come into the picture as part of the process of collective evolution.
• How flower essences can support us to manage our anxiety, feelings of isolation, and to help us restructure our lives in new and healthier patterns during this time of upheaval.

Join us for a lighthearted episode where Rochana and Kathleen discuss which flower essences they would recommend for Star Wars characters. It is a fun game to play, but also useful practice for learning how to work with essences. We share our picks for classic characters like Luke and Leia, and also newer ones such as Rey and Kylo Ren. These films are rich territory for examining archetypal themes of abandonment, relationship issues, and how to find hope in dark times.
