Join MysticMag and step into the realm of emotional healing with Carlos Filipe, a Bach Flower Registered Practitioner. Journey alongside Carlos as he unveils the transformative power of Bach Flower Therapy, recounting his personal odyssey from introspection to embracing the profound connection between emotions, nature, and inner harmony.
How did you get into this line of work and what drew you to it?
Through Homeopathy, in fact. First, when during a consultation with a Homeopath, I was recommended bach flowers as part of the treatment, and secondly, when I was in the School
of Homeopathy, studying the art of healing of the Great Samuel Hahnemann and encountered the bach remedies again, but this time, while learning the understandings of human nature of
Dr Edward Bach. Dr Bach lived in the 1930s, and was also a student of Samuel Hahnemann and a graduated Homeopath, as well as a medical doctor. Well, to provide you with a
perspective, that also implicates the answer to the second part of your question; in health, the status of homeostasis, represents a balanced strong positive human being, and everything is
cause and effect, as an example, I breathe then I am alive, my heart bits, my body is alive, I smoke I increase chances of cancer, I drink alcohol, I injure my liver, and so forward.
Samuel Hahnemann with Homeopathy brought the possibility to heal the cause so there will be no effect. Dr Bach system follows that principle with The origin of disease. Unbalanced
emotions is what makes an individual create the cause of disease.
So, all these incredible concepts fascinated me, and even more when I see its results, every day, it’s really amazing the way healing happens in an individual. I like to think that
there is somehow an enlargement inside the inner reality of someone while going through a Bach treatment, for instance. The path someone makes towards healing the cause of the
unbalanced emotion. So individual and unique at the same time. The effects of Bach remedies are very smooth, subtil, and gentle, yet, very capable. As nature itself, quiet but
powerful. So, from the School of Homeopathy, without graduating, I went to the Bach Centre, where I completed my studies and became a Bach Foundation Registered Practitioner and with such
embraced the role of a Bach flower practitioner and educator. I think that seeing the results of Bach remedies on others is what drives me. It’s amazing to observe someone going from a state of emotional distress, for instance, to another, of tranquillity and understanding. It’s a Bliss, to see an individual shining.
What can Floral remedies be used for?
In today’s fast-paced and stressful world, emotional imbalances are so common and have such a negative impact on our wellbeing, on our relationships, and our quality of life. So, Bach Flower
Therapy provides an absolutely natural and safe way to address those imbalances, and support our emotions during the “ups and downs” of life. Bach remedies operate in the felt sense of the individual. So, Bach flowers should be used either in trauma cases and PTSD, as by someone going through stress at work, as an example, or even the hyperactivity of a child. For all
disturbances of the emotions on the felt sense is where Bach remedies make a difference. So, a impatient individual becomes a patient one, the intolerance becomes tolerance, resilient, positive, and with a sense of strongness inside. And then, of course, anxiety becomes quietness, sadness becomes joy, and negative becomes positive.
Through Quantum Physics it would be easier to explain the effects of the natural Bach remedies, as electromagnetic influences, that contribute to the overall wellbeing. Still, the effects of the 100 percent Natural Bach Flower Remedies are subtil, non-invasive, and can be safely used alongside pharmaceutical products and other forms of therapy, making it a versatile and essential tool to support our emotional body.
You also offer meditation for children. How much is it different from working with adults?
It’s different, indeed, in a variety of aspects. Starting with communication, children require simpler language, a lot of visual examples, and the more regular use of body language to
understand their feelings and emotional needs. Then, of course, children learn everything by playing, which makes it really funny, as the session is more interactive and tailored to the stage
of their specific development stage. Motivation is an important element as well, that differentiates working with both children and adults. While children are engaged in any activity
through games and playing, moved by curiosity and immediate rewards, adults often bring their own experiences and have a problem-solving approach. And, of course, children, occasionally,
may require clear boundaries, while adults value autonomy and independence. Then, there are the similarities, like, emotional support and empathy that are most important for both children
and adults. Bach Flower philosophy understands the individuality of each individual and emotion, so it’s good that a Bach Foundation Registered Practitioner (BFRP) during training, learns the
tools of a flexible and adaptable approach to achieve a deep understanding of the unique individual, either an adult or a child.
What other services do you offer?
I provide Bach Flower Consultations, besides Talks and Workshops on the Bach system and emotional health, in English, Spanish and Portuguese, and, as mentioned previously, sessions of Meditation for Children.
What’s in store for Espaço de Realidade Interior going forward?
The Espaço de Realidade interior (www.realidadeinterior.com), has it somehow simple, as the main goal is to provide emotional healing, to enrich and normalise the dynamics that exist in
the inner reality space of each individual, and of course to contribute to eliminating the dissociation between Nature and wellbeing. With that in mind, we will be providing Talks and Workshops
on Emotional Health and the role of Bach Flowers wherever possible and if it makes sense to enlarge its audience. And continue to provide Meditation sessions for children, and hopefully, soon, to enlarge to adult sessions of meditation.
Is there anything else about your work that you would like to share, that we have not covered?
In the dynamic landscape of the twenty-first century, where demands are really high, and the pace of life absolutely relentless, Bach Flowers emerge as an indispensable ally in navigating the complexities of modern existence. Whether you, the reader, are a busy professional, a dedicated parent or a hyperactive child, a victim of trauma, or someone striving for personal growth, know that Bach Flower remedies are a subtle, gentle yet powerful tool that can assist you in restoring inner balance and enhancing mental clarity.
