The Moon Inside You

NYR Bath

A workshop with Daniella Carrozza BSc (Hons) Med Herb

THURSDAY, 2nd November 2023 

6pm – 8pm

£20 Ticket includes a goody bag and 20% off on any NYR shopping on the night. 

Also redeemable against treatments with Daniella booked within a month of the event.  

Join Daniella on a journey into the map of womanhood and the power of working with the cycles of life – an evening of sacred women’s space.

This workshop is relevant to women of all ages who have or have had a womb. Daniella will guide you through the map of womanhood, the psychospiritual aspects of the menstrual cycle, and how to prepare for the menopause.

You will gain an awareness of where to place yourself on the map of womanhood now (from the school of Sunheart Shamanism), as well as how to confidently map each individual menstrual cycle as you move through the phases of your life.

We will look at the stages of the menopause, what to expect, how to create your own mantra and support yourself in body and mind throughout this transition, whether you are still menstruating, in the midst of menopause or have stopped bleeding, but still experiencing symptoms.

We will be drawing on the wisdom and healing gifts of the Rose during this session and drinking some delicious Rose tea, which is deeply beneficial to the nervous system and the heart and brings a quality of loving peace and tranquillity to your whole being.

Daniella is a medical herbalist and massage therapist and has been working in the field of complementary health care for over 20 years. She has taken a particular interest in women’s health and the womb mysteries since the birth of her children. She has trained with Jewels Wingfield, Living tantra, Deva Pathways and Sunheart Shamanism over the last 10 years during her own womb awakening. 

Daniella looks forward to welcoming you into the space to share some of the sacred feminine mysteries and hopes you will benefit from deepening into your own relationship with the powerful creative energy and wisdom of the womb.

HOW TO TAKE YOUR POWER BACK

NYR Bath

Written By Francesca Ajello

You have the power and you’ve had it all along, you just didn’t know it, or you weren’t aware you were giving your power away to people.

In fact, “what does giving your power away even mean?”, you may wonder.

Here are a few examples:

  • You had a great day, having fun outside or with your friends, but then you get home and a family member complains about something you didn’t even do. You get upset and the rest of the evening is ruined.
  • You wake up feeling positive and you go about your day, but then a colleague makes a comment you find upsetting and this spoils your mood for the rest of the day.
  • You are in a good mood because you bought a new outfit, but someone criticizes your look and you start to feel insecure about it, you no longer feel confident wearing it.

If this happens to you, that means you are giving away your power to the people around you. You are putting someone else in charge of your own happiness, so what you have to do is take your power back.

You have been giving your power away to your boss, your partner, your friends, or your colleagues. You put them in charge of your happiness, your worthiness and you’ve looked for validation from the people around you. 

When you allow other people to be in charge of your own happiness, you are allowing them to be in charge of your life also, and so you need to call back your power.

You always have a choice.

You can choose how you respond to a situation and you can choose who you surround yourself with.

You decide who to give your time and attention to.

But instead, you get upset with those people or you get angry at them. You make them wrong in your head because they did or said something that made you feel bad. 

If you’re happy with who you are, and you don’t let anybody make you feel worthless or not accepted, then you are in your power.

If you find your own self-worth, if you fill yourself with self-love and self-compassion, then you become self-sufficient and that’s when you no longer need external validation. 

You validate yourself!

That’s when you become emotionally bulletproof, no one can take your happiness away from you.

If you work on your core beliefs, then no one can steal your happiness anymore.

Nobody can steal yourself from yourself.

Once you feel strong within yourself, no one can come and steal that away from you, and they can do or say whatever they want. They can tell you that you’re selfish, they can project on you their own insecurities, but you won’t take that BS. It will wash off you, or you will even laugh it off.

What you need to do is learn to stay in your power, and don’t get swayed by other people’s opinions or criticism. 

Then, people will no longer have power over you. 

If you have decided that you want to feel in charge of your happiness and you are ready to make some changes in your life, I will run a workshop at Neal’s Yard in Bath on 4th May 2023 at 6pm about how to take your power back.

Continuing my Flower Remedies Journey 

Continuing my Flower Remedies Journey 
NYR Bath

by Jane Basson

If you read my blog post of July 2022, you will know that I am passionate about the Bach Flower Remedies as a way of supporting our health and wellbeing.

Since writing that post, I have now completed Part 2 of the Bach Foundation training and am even more enthusiastic about the benefits of using the gentle healing power of the flower remedies for myself, my family and our Neal’s Yard customers.

In Part 1 I learned about the history of Dr Bach and his philosophy, as well as discovering the healing properties of the individual remedies.

In Part 2 the focus was on a more in-depth analysis of the system and the individual remedies, the similarities and differences of certain pairs or groupings of remedies, and the ways in which they can be used. There was also a lot of time spent on creating personal blends and how to select the remedies that will most benefit the person we are trying to help.

One of the most important principles of the Bach system is that there are no remedies for situations – there are only remedies for feelings. Two people could be in a very similar situation but the way it makes them feel (and therefore the impact it has on their wellbeing) could be very different.For example, moving to a new area could make one person feel anxious or fearful, whereas another person might feel resentful (eg if they have had to move because of a partner’s job or because they are still dependent on their parents and they didn’t really want to move). They would need different remedies, one for the feelings of anxiety (Mimulus) and the other for feelings of resentment (Willow). A demanding workload could make a usually capable person feel temporarily overwhelmed with all the plates they are spinning (they might need Elm), whereas another person might be lacking in confidence in their own ability (Larch could help) or be feeling intimidated by an over-bearing boss (they may benefit from Walnut). It is therefore essential that we discover how the person is actually feeling in the situation they are in before we can select the remedies to help them. Over time, negative thoughts and emotions can build up within a person, literally layering on top of each other, eg. fear followed by guilt, then followed by resentment. Dr Bach said it was most important to treat what we see now, ie treat the feelings the person has right now, working from the outside in. As those feelings are addressed, the layer beneath will reveal itself and then we treat that, ie address whatever feelings/emotions they are experiencing at that time, as the layers peel away and balance is achieved.I am very excited to have enrolled on Part 3 of my training (Practitioner Level) which will take place in April/May this year.

If you are interested in finding out more about the flower remedies and how to use them to support your own health and wellbeing, please do come into the shop to chat to our friendly team – they will be delighted to help.

Caroline has always been an advocate of natural health and discovered kinesiology when it helped her son over 12 years ago. After being made redundant from her job shortly afterwards, she was inspired by this experience to train as a kinesiologist. More recently, she qualified as a reiki practitioner and teacher.

She has a passion for natural health and the ability of the body to heal itself, given the right tools and support, and is especially interested in how our emotions affect our physical health. She is dedicated to prevention as well as alleviating conditions. Her aim is to guide and support you to optimum health in a holistic way that works for you as an individual. Her approach is non-judgemental, calm and compassionate.

Kinesiology is a simple, non-invasive therapy, suitable for all age-groups. It uses muscle testing to detect imbalances in the body which are causing symptoms and corrects those imbalances using nutritional supplements, flower remedies, emotional stress release techniques, stimulation of lymphatic points and energy work.

My Exciting Flower Remedies Journey by Jane Basson

NYR Bath

Like many people, I have long been aware of Bach Rescue Remedy and had used it once or twice, although it wasn’t really on my radar.  It wasn’t until I began working at Neal’s Yard Remedies Bath in August 2018 that I became more aware of the whole range of flower remedies and their potential to play a big part in our health and wellbeing.  As I listened to colleagues talking to customers about the remedies, I became fascinated by their gentle healing powers and made it my mission to find out more.

I was in the middle of a year-long foundation course in Herbal Medicine when the pandemic hit in 2020.  The course was a distance learning one, so it was ideal for me to complete this during that long summer of lockdowns, and gave me a real focus during that difficult time.  However, the uncertainty of that period made me question the wisdom of going on to the three-year full-time degree course in herbal medicine – and it was then that I had a light bulb moment!  I just knew that it was the flower remedies I wanted to study instead – I instinctively felt that this was the direction meant for me and I enrolled, full of anticipation, on Part 1 of the Bach Flower Remedies training.

The course, despite taking place via Zoom due to the pandemic, was expertly run and utterly fascinating.  I felt a whole new world had opened up to me and I soaked up all this fascinating new information like a sponge.  

The flower remedies are a wonderful way to address negative feelings and emotions (and haven’t we all had a lot of those during the last couple of years?).  Dr Bach, who developed this system during the 1930s, believed that physical symptoms and disease manifest from a negative emotional state – and of course now it is widely acknowledged that the mind and body are closely linked and that mental and physical health go hand in hand.   

How wonderful to be able to address anxiety, worry, uncertainty, feelings of inadequacy or of over-worry for others by using gentle, powerful flower remedies – which have no side effects, are really easy to take and are completely safe for everyone to use.

From Mimulus which helps with fear of known things (like a job interview or exams) to Aspen for fear of unknown things (a vague feeling of apprehension but not really knowing why), Walnut (for protection from overbearing people in our lives or to help with changes such as moving house or going to a new school) to Elm (for capable people who just feel temporarily overwhelmed with all their responsibilities).  This is just the tip of the iceberg – there are 38 remedies (plus Rescue or Five Flower Remedy) which can be taken individually or in a blend tailored to our needs.  At Neal’s Yard Remedies we sell the Healing Herbs range, which are prepared and created to the exact method created by Dr Bach.

I am very excited about moving on to Part 2 of my training this year and fully intend to carry on to Part 3 (Practitioner Level).  I have seen the (sometimes quite profound) benefits of using the remedies with my own family and now I love to share my passion with our lovely Neal’s Yard customers.

I’m very much looking forward to hosting some special events at our Bath store over the coming months, where customers will have the opportunity to make up their own flower remedy blend to take home.

So, watch this space for more information about upcoming workshops/events and in the meantime feel free to come into the shop to chat to our friendly team about the wonderful world of flower remedies.
