The Amazing Power of “Listening to Flowers”
JULY 6, 2023 By Tom Rapsas
That’s a telling quote from Dina Saalisi and her book*Listening to Flowers: Positive Affirmations to Invoke the Healing Energy of the 38 Bach Flowers, with illustrations by Audrey Violet. Saalisi, a California-based healer and hypnotherapist, believes that nature can help cure what ails us—especially the fragrances found in various flowers and flowering plants.
Part of the title of the book might have you scratching your head: “What are the 38 Bach flowers”? There’s an interesting story behind the flowers that Saalisi recounts in the introduction. In 1930’s England, there was a renowned doctor and homeopath named Doctor Edward Bach. In the author’s words, he “developed a method for using the subtle energy from flowers to relieve the disharmony of disease.”
