This blog series will illustrate flower essences to assist with changing stress patterns. Stress, whatever the cause impacts us all relatively the same. But, in terms of choosing flower essences causation will determine what essences to employ. This is why I've broken this down into 3 parts.

These flower essences can help us change and recondition our behavior(s). And, this can help us make choices which lead to improved well being and less stress.
