Essence helps to Balance Traumatic Emotions
By Sabina Pettit
The Balancer combination essence was discovered in 1988 by Mikhail Adams, ND when he was doing some independent electroacupuncture research to confirm chakra and meridian correlations for our essences. He noticed that 3 of the essences in our Spring Flower collection seemed to act like Rescue Remedy. So we made up the combination and the subject who was participating in the testing took a few drops and the effect was apparent and immediate. It was like watching someone who had been really tired one minute and totally rejuvenated the next minute.
Some years later - around 2001, a Japanese researcher tested a number of different flower essences and discovered that Balancer Essence scored higher than any other essence for anxiety, stress and nervousness, and had a generally supportive impact on the autonomic nervous system.
My own experience with Balancer includes reviving hummingbirds who have flown into a window and been traumatized, other animals when they have been injured, and giving it to toddlers who are stressed and crying and have already forgotten what the original source of their distress was but can’t stop crying. In fact, young children often ask for the Balancer when they are frightened or distressed. Over the years Balancer has proven effective in all kinds of stressful and traumatic situations - car accidents, conflict situations, sudden shocks and just general exhaustion. It seems to offer the possibility of reconnecting with earth energy - grounding and centering so that we have the energetic resources to face what is in front of us.
I have just returned from teaching Energy Medicine® in Germany and Balancer was the essence that opened the door for this possibility. Our distributor was doing some therapy work with a Kinesiologist who tested him for Balancer. But at that time we had no distributor in Germany and he contacted us directly. For him the Balancer essence not only helped him to deal with current stress in his life but also seemed to clear the residue in his Body/Mind of a challenging childhood. And this is a really important fact to remember about the possibility for any essence - that it may well clear discord in the energetic body that has been stored for some long time.
At this time in our human experience where there is so much opportunity to move into stress and overwhelm just with the busy-ness of our daily lives, let alone the constant reminder from the media of how vulnerable we “should” feel in the face of world events, Balancer provides an opportunity to regain our centre and respond to situations in our lives with equanimity and ease.
