"The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy
system. Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most
physical pains and diseases."-- Gary Craig, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Founder
The real primary diseases of man are such defects as pride, cruelty, hate,
self-love, ignorance, instability and greed; and each of these, if considered,
will be found to be adverse to Unity. Such defects as these are the real
diseases (using the word in the modem sense), and it is a continuation and
persistence in such defects after we have reached that stage of development
when we know them to be wrong, which precipitates in the body the
injurious results which we know as illness.--Edward Bach
If you would have good health then you must imagine this as vividly as
you fearfully imagine ill health. Seth
Seth said that not only do we form our own reality now, but we will
continue to do so after physical death, so it is of the utmost importance
that we understand the connection between thought and reality. Jane Roberts
Immediately begin to live in the present as much as possible.
Refuse to worry.
When your thoughts do touch upon your particular problem in that present
moment, imagine the best possible solution to the dilemma. Seth

The Twelve Healers and Other Remedies
"The action of the flower essences raises the vibration of the being.... They cure by flooding the bodywith the beautiful vibrations of the highest nature - in whose presence there is the opportunity fordisease to melt away like snow in sunshine" -Dr. Edward Bach
The Twelve Healers
Bach Remedies are sometimes classified into three groups- 'The Twelve Healers', 'TheSeven Helpers' and 'The Second 19'. The Twelve Healers hold a special place amongthe 38 remedies as each of the 12 remedies correspond to a particular personality type.
The Seven Helpers
"Resignation to faults in our character, or resignation to faults in our bodily health may be overcome ifthe wish is there to do so, and the (seven) helpers get us over this stage and bring us into the range of
the Twelve Healers. Of course, in all healing there must be a desire in the patient to get well. There are(seven) types of people who have lost hope, although they are not all conscious that they have done so;not conscious because, as has just been said, the abnormal state of mind or body is regarded both bythemselves and by others as part of their character.".... "If the patient does not improve when whatseems the right one of the Healers has been given, there are seven more remedies to prepare the way;because, when an illness has become old, it has become more established and may require help before itresponds easily, so that the seven remedies for such cases are called the seven helpers."-Dr. EdwardBach
The Second Nineteen
"There is no doubt these new remedies act in a different plane to the old. They are more spiritualizedand help us to develop that inner great self in all of us which has the power to overcome all fears, alldifficulties, all worries, and all diseases."- Edward Bach, 1935
Today, disease and death control us ever more strongly with a litany of viruses,
cancers, and heart disorders. The causes may be vaccinations, environmental poisons,despoliation of food, or pollution of the elementsearth, water and air. For Bach thecause was clear and it is clear today: It is only because we have forsaken Natures wayfor mans way that we have suffered, and we have only to return to be released fromour trials. In the presence of the way of Nature disease has no power; all fear, alldepression, all hopelessness can be set aside. There is no disease of itself which isincurable. Julian Barnard

7. CHESTNUT BUD (inattentiveness, learning difficulties)
Wisdom
"For those who do not take full advantage of observation and
experience, and who take a longer time than others to learn the lessons
of daily life. Whereas one experience would be enough for some, such
people find it necessary to have more, sometimes several, before the
lesson is learnt. Therefore, to their regret, they find themselves having to make the
same error on different occasions when once would have been enough, or observation
of others could have spared them even that one fault."- Dr. Edward Bach
EFT points: right underarm (SP).Alternate Point; 4 finger widths above bothkneecaps (ST, SP).
"Chestnut Bud is used to treat learning difficulties, undeveloped awareness, and all
pathological conditions related to carelessness, learning disabilities, or pathological
distracted and absentminded behavior. In daily life, used to treat carelessness and
absentmindedness." G. Blome
Affirmations:
"...I will recognize and be able to let go of old patterns.""...I choose to be open to new potential and possibility."
"...I release the need to repeat the same patterns.""...I am learning something new from every experience."
Positive qualities Capacity to process experience
in a constructive way Acquires knowledge andwisdom from experience Learning from mistakes

"This is the remedy of cleansing. For those who feel as if they have
something not quite clean about themselves. Often it is something of

particular thing which is greatest in their minds and which seems so essential to
them that it should be cured. They become despondent if treatment fails. Being a
cleanser, this remedy purifies wounds if the patient has reason to believe that some
poison has entered which must be drawn out."- Dr. Edward Bach
