A practitioner's guide to the energetic healing system of flower essences

- Gives a comprehensive process, including case examples, for using essences to alleviate stress, trauma, anxiety, and physical illness

- Offers practical and innovative guidance for researching the healing patterns of new flower essences, including the observation of alchemic signature, flower form, and color

- Details ways to upgrade and standardize qualifications for flower essence producers and practitioners to ensure the integrity of the field

Drawing on 35 years of experience as a flower essence producer and practitioner, David Dalton comprehensively explores the field of flower essences. He honors the pioneering work of the past and details the developments that are hallmarks of the field's present.

Dr. Edward Bach discovered the first 38 flower essences in his work to alleviate the root cause of disease, which he found to be a split between one's personality and soul. In advancing this work, David Dalton details how to make and use additional flower essences, beyond Bach's original 38, including how to store them to maintain their potency. He gives methods for determining the action of the flower essences he has used for specific situations, including plant attunement, reading the elemental energy of each plant, and observing flower structure as it relates to the chakra system.

Sharing his in-depth interview process, Dalton explains how to review a client's past and present stresses, traumas, emotions, behavior patterns, and physical imbalances to create a full clinical picture and determine which essences to use. He shows how to select and combine flower essences based on the client's need for support and grounding and their readiness to process past experiences. He then shows how to target thoughts and behaviors for change, how to move stuck emotions, how the body processes stress and trauma, and how to release trauma and triggering shadows with flower essences.

Elevating Dr. Bach's work for modern needs, this book brings flower essence healing forward into an advanced system for a healthier life.

But how can a sarcastic teenager from a working-class family juggle her grief, her schoolwork, her waitressing job, and fighting death itself?

Just this morning, Karina was sitting at the breakfast table, cleaning up the miso soup her grandmother dropped on the floor. Now, she's being called out to class to go to the hospital and see her grandma's body...with a piece of seaweed still stuck to her uniform. She still finds time to make it to her hourly job at a family restaurant, but on the way home, she sees a glittering, elephant-like creature floating the sky... And a teenage boy appears to push her out of the way of its attack! Death is stalking Karina's town in a form that only she can see, and this boy gives her two choices: Die or transform and fight! She can scarcely follow what he's saying, but her clothes do change, and the staff she finds herself holding has enough heft to do some serious damage... But is there space in Karina's life for getting revenge for her grandma and fighting magical monsters when she's already stretched to her limit?

Now a luxury hotel, Bellecliff was the site of a grisly massacre during the same era Wilcox claims as his own. As Cy is swept deeper into conspiracy and terror, the line between nightmare and reality blurs.

Our rivalry formed long before we became siblings.

Madden Hastings has been my nemesis since the day we met.

A divide was born from the age-old rivalry between our universities,

but this year, another layer developed. It became personal.

Because the captain of Blackmore's baseball team?

He's also my new step brother.

My disdain for the sudden blending of our families leads to more conflict,

and despite their efforts to force us together, coexisting proves impossible.

But something else starts burning beneath my bitterness and resentment;

an attraction as unexpected as it is potent.

And when the chemistry becomes too powerful to deny,

our already complicated relationship gets even messier.

Because a forbidden fling is one thing, but falling for the enemy?

It forces me into a choice I never wanted to make.

One between loyalty to my team, or the love of my life.

First in the thrilling new series!

Thoughtload--not workload--is the culprit causing chaos for your team. Be the leader that creates clarity, calm, and greater capacity.

In Thoughtload, New York Times bestselling author and team effectiveness advisor Liane Davey tackles today's most pressing management challenges: over-burdened systems, burned-out teams, and declining results. However, contrary to conventional wisdom, Davey argues that the problem is not with out-sized workloads. The root cause of the madness sapping productivity in today's offices is with our excessive thoughtload.

Thoughtload is the cumulative and often overwhelming burden of increasing cognitive and emotional demands, worsened by decreasing physical and mental energy. In this brilliant, highly prescriptive guide, Davey lays out the steps for reducing thoughtload, so that you and your team feel more focused--and get more done.

The process starts with you. By learning to better manage your attention, you create periods of deep concentration that lead to the outcomes you strive for, and a sense of accomplishment. By processing emotions triggered in the workplace and at home, you gain greater control of your mood and productivity. And by making informed choices about where your energy comes from (and where it goes), you connect with reliable and renewable resources that fuel you to do the things that matter most. Davey then gives you powerful tools you can use as a leader to coach your team members to manage thoughtload for themselves. Doing so, you and your team will feel more focused, less burnt out, and finally free to do more great work.

Backed by science and written with the time- and energy-strapped manager in mind, Thoughtload is Liane Davey's potent handbook for a better way to lead. Apply the strategies in this book to create calm within the chaos--so you and your team can perform, produce, and prosper.
