                      Our
                emphasis is not so much on eliminating undesirable traits or
                experiences as on bringing one into balance so that the positive
                expression of one's astrological signature can manifest. A person
                who is essentially inward and shy and who has trouble making
                his way in the world will not become a dynamic, flamboyant world-conqueror,
                but he can build confidence in reaching out to others. Rather
                than attempt to get rid of his shyness, the focus would be on
                discovering the positive gifts his gentleness may offer him and
                alleviating the more extreme, isolating aspects of his shy nature.
                Using these "vibrational" tools, issues that one may
                have struggled with for years can be eased, and long-buried talents
              and loves can be awakened. 
                      Many
                  of the tools suggested herein, including astrology, work on
                  what esotericists
                refer to as the energy bodies, the chakras, or the aura. This
                subtle energy field, which emanates from every living thing,
                is where our energetic and emotional habits, thought patterns,
                belief systems, and so on reside. Introducing the energy pattern
                of a flower, plant, gem, or mineral into one's aura directly
                affects one's emotional and mental energies, and over a period
                of time this promotes long-lasting changes. 
                      The key factor
                in using any of these remedies or tools is one's positive intentions,
                willingness, and desire for harmony and health. They are not "magic".
                Used consistently and with conscious intention, they reinforce
                and accelerate desired changes. In the back of this report is
                a listing of resources where you can obtain the flower essences
                and other products suggested for you. There are also other tips
                and instructions. 
                      As
                  you read over your report you may see a number of areas that
                  you would
                like to work with. There is a lot of information here and the
                possibilities can be very exciting! However, it is usually best
                to attend to one issue or cluster of related issues (a theme)
                at one time. Choose whichever one is most meaningful or troublesome
                to you at present. Keep in mind that you will NOT manifest all
                of the potential imbalances mentioned. Some issues may have already
                been resolved, and some will simply not be relevant. In deciding
                which issue to focus on, follow your intuition. Remember, too,
                that gentle, persistent effort is usually necessary in re-patterning
                and creating any real change. Best Wishes to You! 
              Sun and Ascendant: General Characteristics 
                      The
                  position of the Sun in your birth chart represents the person
                  you are
                at heart and the path you must follow to fulfill yourself as
                a unique individual. It also indicates your personal strength
                and vitality, as well as what activities or life experiences
                you require to feel alive and to replenish your life force. The
                Sun represents your personal identity. 
              Sun in Scorpio: 
              Key issues: Experiencing the depths and the shadow side of life;
                personal transformation through powerful emotional experience;
                sexuality, emotional merging, confrontation with death. 
              Key qualities: instinctual, deeply feeling, passionate involvement,
                often compulsive or emotionally fixated. 
                      You are more
                instinctive, intuitive, and emotional than cerebral, and you
                need to be wholly immersed and deeply involved emotionally in
                whatever you are doing. Others may see you as obsessed, extreme,
                fanatical, or "too intense" and you can be. Often,
                though, this intensity is quite hidden. 
                      You have a deep
                kinship with animals, with whom you share the capacity to feel
                and to know by instinct, but not to be able to explain your feelings
                or knowledge in rational terms. And at times you may purposely
                keep your true self hidden, because your interests run counter
                to group norms and/or what you have been taught to believe is
                good, appropriate, or worthy. A taste for the dark side, for
                the "taboos" or mysterious side of life, may compel
                you. At your finest, you are able to help transform and heal
                the darkness others experience, because you will not turn away
                from it. Work that involves birth and/or death, psychological
                exploration and healing, or using your acute psychic awareness
                and your instincts, suits you. 
                      Your
                  sexuality is a profoundly important part of your life because
                  initiates
                you into the deepest (and often darkest) aspects of your soul.
                Struggles with power in relationship, jealousy, envy, lack of
                trust or fear of losing control, and other potent experiences
                come through this. 
              Patterns of Imbalance: 
                      For
                  vengeful emotions, such as spite, suspicion, jealousy, envy,
                  hatred, or
                self-hatred: the flower essence HOLLY. 
                      For
                  the courage to face and express powerful emotions: the flower
                  essences BLACK-EYED
                SUSAN, SCARLET MONKEY FLOWER, FUCHSIA. 
                      For
                  resentment and grudges: the flower essences WILLOW and MOUNTAIN
                WORMWOOD. 
                      For
                  bitterness and unfair projection of hostile intentions onto
                  others: the
                flower essence OREGON GRAPE. 
              Gemstones that may be beneficial to wear, carry, or take as
                an elixir: 
                      BLACK TOURMALINE,
                which helps release old, unwanted energies and emotional "pollution" from
                mind, emotions, and physical body. 
                      TIGER'S
                  EYE, which helps one maintain a strong sense of self when dealing
                with powerful emotions such as fear, jealousy, or anger. 
                      BLOODSTONE,
                which balances the energy centers at the base of the spine and
                lower abdomen, especially after emotional upset or trauma. 
                      MALACHITE,
                  which can help one break free from fears, guilt, and self-denial.
                  (Placed
                upon the solar plexus for up to 20 minutes at a time can be a
                powerful stimulus for clearing toxic emotion). 
                      Your
                  Ascendant (or Rising Sign) describes your physique, as well
                  as indicating
                how you relate to and are affected by your environment. It has
                a direct bearing on your physical health. 
              Ascendant in Cancer: 
                      Your body tends
                toward softness and gentleness, rather than being rugged or tough,
                and physically you appear rather mild. You have a sensitive physique
                in that your moods and the state of your intimate, emotional
                relationships have a direct and immediate impact on your health.
                When you are feeling emotionally secure, supported, and safe,
                when there is enough closeness, warm attachment, and affection
                in your life, your health is greatly enhanced. If you feel emotionally
                deprived or unsettled in your relationships, physical ailments
                may arise. You are also quite impressionable and easily influenced
                by the emotional nuances and tones of your environment. You need
                a personal touch, people caring about people, a sense of belonging
                and familiarity. All of these give you strength. At your best,
                you are sympathetic, kind, nurturing. When out of balance, you
                can be hypersensitive to hurts or slights, overly dependent,
                full of self-pity, unwilling to let go of the pain of the past,
                and easily knocked off center by others' emotional dramas or
                problems. You absorb and take in other people's "stuff". 
                      When ill or
                undergoing a healing crisis, to get better you must gain some
                detachment from your moods or emotional addictions, and discipline
                yourself to do what is necessary to get well, whether you "feel
                like it" or not. You respond very well to subtle energy
                work and vibrational therapies such as homeopathy, flower essences,
                etc. Hydrotherapy (therapeutic bathing) can be very effective
                for you, also. 
                      Flower
                  essences that can be very beneficial to you include: CUCUMBER
                  (which helps
                offset moodiness or depression) and SELF-HEAL (for accessing
                healing forces from within; offsets over-dependence on external
                help). 
              Asc. Sextile Uranus:               
                      Your approach
                to life is improvisational, extemporaneous, impulsive, unorthodox.
                You have a sensitive "psychic antenna" attuned to meaningful
                coincidences and the wave of the future. You enjoy being spontaneous,
                changing your plans depending upon on how you feel inspired. 
                      Lively
                  and unpredictable, you keep a fresh and open perspective, and
                  can be an agent for
                positive change and renewal in your environment. 
              
              Moon and Venus: Emotions and Feelings 
                      The
                  position of the Moon in your birth chart reflects your emotional
                  nature,
                what you need to feel nurtured, what feels familiar and comfortable
                to you. It is also your deeply-held beliefs and mostly unconscious
                or instinctive responses, which play themselves out in your closest
                personal relationships. Your moods, memories, dream life, and
                feeling-self are depicted by the moon in your birth chart. 
              Moon in Leo: 
              Key issues: Needs to feel important, to be seen as individual,
                to shine and express oneself creatively. 
              Key qualities: enthusiastic, warm, love of games, drama, and
                heroics. 
                      You prefer and
                instinctively seek out a warm, sunny, light atmosphere. Golden
                yellows, saffron, and other bright, warm shades are nurturing,
                healing colors for you to wear or surround yourself with. Emotionally,
                too, you are warm and generous, and often just being in your
                presence has an encouraging, cheering effect that feels very
                supportive to other people. Unless other aspects of your birth
                chart strongly indicate otherwise, you are not especially introspective
                or interested in delving into anything that is not particularly
                happy. You probably get along well with children because emotionally
                you are a big kid yourself, both in your childlike simplicity
                and enjoyment of a good time, and in your need for a lot of praise,
                recognition, and "strokes". 
                      You
                  have a deeply-rooted subconscious need to feel proud of yourself
                  which may be expressed
                in many ways: feeling slighted or hurt when you are not appreciated
                for your personal contributions, striving always to be the best
                and to stand out from the crowd in some manner, and/or an unwillingness
                to express or even acknowledge that you have any petty, less-than-magnanimous
                impulses or emotions. 
                      You
                  also have a flair for dramatics (especially playing up your
                  feelings),
                and for doing things in a big way. 
              Patterns of Imbalance: 
                      Often
                  your imbalances are due to excesses on your part: overdoing,
                  overspending, overeating,
                working too much, playing too much, not accepting your limitations.
                This may be more of a problem for those closest to you who care
                about you; you have a streak of stubborn pride which resists
                being influenced. Unless you want to change, you will not. 
              Flower essences that may be appropriate for you when you are
                out of balance include: 
                      For
                  emotional honesty, willingness to acknowledge and feel pain
                  or other difficult
                feelings and emotions, not putting on a false mask of cheeriness;
                for denial and avoidance of the dark side of life and of oneself:
                the flower essences AGRIMONY and BLACK-EYED SUSAN. 
                      For
                  being subtly domineering or seeking attention in negative ways:
                  the flower
                essence SUNFLOWER. 
              Gems and minerals that may be beneficial to wear, carry, or
                take as an elixir include: 
                      GOLD,
                  which strengthens self-confidence and loyalty to one's finer
                self. 
                      SUNSTONE,
                  which supports and enhances your innate sunny vitality and
                positivity. 
                      RUBY,
                which builds confidence, courage, and opens the heart center. 
                      MEXICAN
                  FIRE OPAL, which stimulates the solar plexus chakra and enhances
                  creativity
                and self expression. 
                      When
                  you are feeling mildly out of sorts, brief sunbathes or exposure
                  to bright
                full spectrum light can help you, also. 
              Moon Square Neptune: 
                      You are like
                a psychic or emotional tuning fork, picking up and resonating
                to the feeling state and energies of those around you. The development
                of objectivity, detachment, discernment, clarity, and psychic,
                emotional, and energetic boundaries is thus essential to your
                emotional well being. Otherwise you are apt to be dominated by
                outside forces and probably be very confused! Participating in
                what are popularity termed "co-dependent relationships" can
                also arise. 
                      You
                  are easily moved by others' distress and your own emotional
                  idealism, innocence,
                naivete, or gullibility. Passivity, evasiveness, escaping into
                fantasy or addictive, mood altering substances, and self-deception
                are potential pitfalls on your path. In truth, you do need your
                hope, your belief, your faith, and some sort of spiritual nourishment
                on a regular basis, but need to balance it with realism. Because
                of your sensitive nature, flower essences and other vibrational
                remedies are very effective for you. Some that may help you with
                the above issues include: 
              For being too easily taken advantage of: the flower essences
                CENTAURY and BLEEDING HEART. 
              For maintaining strong psychic boundaries and protection from
                bombardment by others' feelings and needs: the flower essences
                YARROW, WILD GRAPE, RED CHESTNUT, and RHUBARB, and the gem essence
                of HEMATITE. 
              For greater willingness to face your true feelings: BLACK-EYED
                SUSAN and AGRIMONY. 
              For addictive tendencies: MILKY NIPPLE CACTUS, MILKWEED, and
                CALIFORNIA POPPY. 
              For developing your psychic talents in a balanced way and integrating
                your spiritual or psychic perceptions into everyday life: the
                flower essences MUGWORT, GREEN ROSE, and LOTUS. 
                      The
                  position of Venus in your birth chart reveals your capacity
                  for love,
                intimacy, pleasure, giving and receiving, and relationships.
                Representing, also, your taste in beauty and your values, it
                is a key to how you can create harmony within yourself. 
              Venus in Virgo: 
                      Your tastes
                are understated, modest, simple, refined, perhaps very practical
                and unadorned. Both beauty and the desires of your heart are
                often put aside in favor of practical concerns. In love and friendship,
                you are quite devoted, and enjoy being useful to and serving
                the other person, but may not be very open to receiving or enjoying
                them. You are also rather proper, conservative, even prim about
                expressing or receiving affection (certainly in public if not
                in private), but you may show your affection in odd ways: fussing
                over, even criticizing your loved ones in hopes of helping them.
                You can be very hard to please. Being overly critical and rigid
                in your standards can lead to "female problems", either
                within the body or in your personal and social relations. Consider
                taking the following flower essences if you feel you are expressing
                the negative aspect of this pattern: BEECH (for criticism and
                intolerance of others), DOGWOOD (for more grace in relationship
                as well as in your own physical movement), and COLUMBINE (for
                greater appreciation of yourself; less criticism of oneself or
                one's appearances). 
              Venus Conjunct Pluto: 
                      For you, relationship
                does not have as much to do with pleasure or happiness as it
                does with initiating you into the deepest caverns of your heart.
                When in love, you often experience intense erotic emotion, overwhelming
                feelings of desire or attraction which can be as painful as they
                are pleasurable, feeling obsessed with the one you love, or being
                the object of another's obsessive "love" needs. You
                may be fascinated with or fall in love with people who somehow
                wield power over you, or who are not in anyway good for you. 
                      Through encountering
                the dark face of love (betrayal, jealousy, death or loss of the
                beloved, unrequited love, even emotional or sexual abuse), you
                may be deeply wounded, and in recovering and healing, understand
                love's power much more profoundly. "Shameful secrets" regarding
                romantic involvements may have to be confronted. If you are currently
                working with any of these issues, energy work on your heart and
                sacral centers to help clear and heal them can be invaluable.
                There are also many flower essences which address and support
                healing the effects of such patterns of experiences: HOLLY (a "master" remedy
                for healing any distortion of love and for toxic emotions of
                jealousy, hatred, self-hate, spite, or desire for revenge), BLACK
                COHOSH (to increase courage to free yourself of abusive or addictive
                relationships), BLEEDING HEART (for releasing painful emotional
                attachments and bring peace and balance to the heart; For healing
                a broken heart.), STICKY MONKEY FLOWER (for fear of intimacy
                or letting go sexually, due to painful past relationships), STAR
                OF BETHLEHEM, BISBEE BEEHIVE CACTUS, and FRINGED VIOLET (for
                healing old traumas and clearing them from the energy bodies),
                BLACK-EYED SUSAN (for insight and acceptance of your emotional
                shadow and dark emotions), DEVIL'S CLAW (for using personal magnetism
                or sexual attractiveness to manipulate others, or falling prey
                to another who is using their charisma to gain dominance). VINE
                (for the desire to control others), MOUNTAIN WORMWOOD (for releasing
                resentment, healing old wounds through forgiveness) and RIVER
                BEAUTY (for seeing adverse circumstances as opportunity for cleansing
                and growth; starting over after a devastating experience). 
              
              Mercury: Thinking and Ideas 
                      The
                  position of Mercury in your birth chart describes your intellectual
                  qualities,
                how you communicate or express yourself verbally, and in general
                how your thinking patterns operate. 
              Mercury in Scorpio: 
                      Your
                  mind is thorough, deep, penetrating, and insightful into the
                  inner workings
                or hidden side of things. You enjoy delving, doing research,
                thinking about difficult problems. You do not shy away from the
                dark or scary side of life. In fact, it fascinates you. You might
                wish to use the flower essence CALENDULA to offset your tendency
                to use sarcastic, cutting words. 
              
              Mars: Ambition and Drive 
                      The
                  position of Mars in your birth chart indicates your will power,
                  physical
                vitality and sexual drives, and your capacity for decisive action
                and self-assertion, as well as the musculature and adrenals in
                the physical body. 
              Mars in Capricorn: 
                      Your physical
                and sexual energy, while not superabundant, tends to be strong
                and constant. Ambitious, capable, and determined, you instinctively
                conserve your energies for the long haul. You have the capacity
                to "plan your work, and work, your plan", which you
                do with considerable patience and discipline. However you may
                consistently hold yourself back, perhaps by being overly conscientious,
                responsible, or serious about yourself and your endeavors. To
                incorporate the very necessary quality of joy into your efforts,
                consider taking the flower essences of ZINNIA or ORANGE BLOSSOM.
                Also recommended: FIG BLOSSOM, to increase flexibility of will
                and gentleness toward the self, and DANDELION, when over-striving
                or driving yourself too hard, and to help release tension held
                in the musculature of the body. 
              Mars Square Saturn: 
                      Whether
                  due to your own inhibitions or to difficult circumstances and
                  lack
                of external support, you may often feel that your will force
                is being obstructed, your personal desires and ambitions thwarted,
                or that you cannot act decisively on your own behalf. You may
                constantly feel that you are being checked or meeting resistance,
                which can generate quiet a bit of tension and suppressed anger
                or resentment. Habits such as grinding your teeth, clenching
                your jaws, or headaches may well be related to a repression of
                anger and forthright action. You may have been severely punished
                for expressing your will as a child, and thus believe it unsafe
                to risk doing so. If you suppress your life force and desires
                (unconsciously fearing reprisal), chronic low vitality and fatigue
                may result. Body centered psychotherapies or martial arts can
                be very beneficial . If suppression or difficulty with anger
                is an issue with you, the flower essences SCARLET MONKEY FLOWER
                and SNAPDRAGON are indicated, to enable you to accept and work
                with it rather than hold it in. 
                      At
                  your finest, you are able to endure tremendous frustration
                  and, through patience
                and discipline, produce rock-solid accomplishments. Whatever
                you do achieve must be done one small step at a time, with painstaking
                and persistent effort, and you must rely primarily on yourself.
                These flower essences can help alleviate self-doubts and discouragement:
                BORAGE (to increase cheerful confidence and courage), LARCH (for
                expectation of failure, self-censorship, lack of self-confidence),
                TANSY (for decisiveness, to overcome despair or resignation),
                OAK (to alleviate the sense of unending struggle), and WILD ROSE
                or CALIFORNIA WILD ROSE (for apathy, resignation, inability to
                take personal initiative due to negative expectations). DANDELION
                (for tension held deeply within the musculature of the body)
                is also useful remedy for you. PENSTEMON can help overcome the
                feeling that life is unfair. 
                      Difficulty with
                the men in your life, with your own "masculine", assertive
                energies, and/or with sexual expression is also possible. It
                is essential that you learn to direct your will-force and aggressive
                potential in healthy ways, in order to have better relationships
                with men and/or in the sexual arena. 
                      Energy
                  work on the sacral, solar plexus, and throat chakras can help
                  heal
                these patterns. Body work such as rolfing or deep tissue massage
                is also effective. 
              
              Jupiter and Saturn: Opportunities and Challenges 
                      The
                  position of Jupiter in your birth chart represents the principle
                  of growth,
                improvement, expansion, faith, and the quest for ultimate meaning
                or broader understanding of life. 
              Jupiter in Virgo: 
                      You
                  seek to grow and improve your own well-being by being of service
                  to others.
                You can be very happy in a modest position or just by doing a
                good job with little need for accolades from other people. Humility
                and gratitude are two of your gifts which maintain your sense
                of connection to your Source or the larger order. 
                      The
                  position of Saturn in your birth chart represents the bones,
                  the skeleton,
                and the principles of hardness, heaviness, structure, stability,
                form, and boundaries. It shows what is hard for you, what you
                struggle with, where patterns of rigidity or fear hinder you,
                what is heavy for you, where you develop character, maturity,
                and depth through being tested. 
              Saturn in Aries: 
                      You tend to
                fear anger and aggressiveness in yourself, as well as in others.
                Therefore you may suppress even healthy self-assertiveness or
                any spontaneous expression of the life-force. This can lead to
                chronic depression or a weak will to live. Discipline and self
                control may be inordinately important to you, and you are apt
                to "act out" any hostile feelings you have in rather
                primitive, distorted ways, thus reinforcing your basic distrust
                of your own aggressive impulses. Bravado or exaggerated shows
                of strength may be a false face covering a lack of confidence
                and courage. You need to understand and release negative images
                of power, masculinity, "selfishness", or self-assertiveness.
                The flower essences MOUNTAIN PRIDE (to encourage positive forcefulness
                and courage) and SCARLET MONKEY FLOWER (to resolve issues of
                anger and/or power) are recommended. 
              
              APPENDIX I 
              FLOWER ESSENCES, COLOR THERAPY, AND AROMATHERAPY 
              FLOWER ESSENCES: 
                     The
                  following information will enable you to make up your own flower
                  essence remedies.
                However if you wish to try them but are not interested in doing
                it all yourself, you can contact a flower essence practitioner.
                Many astrological counselors and other holistic practitioners
                use the flower essences and gem essences in their work. 
                     1.
                  Choosing your essences: Generally you can use up to five essences
                  at a time. Some people
                believe five essences is ideal, as the number five is associated
                in myth and folklore with the healing process. Others find using
                a single remedy at a time most effective. Follow your own intuition
                and impulses on this, but please do not try to address too many
                issues at once. Gem essences can be used with flower essences. 
                     2. Making the remedy:
                Once you have chosen the essence or essences you wish to take,
                purchase them from the supplier in the concentrated form ("stock" bottles).
                You will need a glass dropper bottle such as pharmacists use
                for eye drops, which are sold at some pharmacies as well as through
                the flower essences companies. The one ounce size is standard.
                It should be sterilized by boiling it for a few minutes, then
                letting it cool. Then, put four drops of each concentrated essence
                into the bottle, close it, and shake it vigorously for about
                a minute so that the essences are well blended. Fill the bottle
                about 3/4 full with distilled or spring water. (For a more potent
                remedy you may wish to use color-solarized water instead, as
                described in the color therapy section). Then, close the bottle
                and, again, shake vigorously for about a minute. To preserve
                the mixture, add a teaspoon or so of either brandy or apple cider
                vinegar. (They work equally well; it is a matter of personal
                taste and preference). 
                      3.
                  Using essences: The standard dosage is four drops four times
                  a day, taken under
                the tongue. Taking more than four drops will not increase the
                remedy's effectiveness, and taking it more than four times a
                day is usually not necessary except in crisis situations. However,
                if you feel inclined to use it more frequently than four times
                a day, these remedies cannot be harmful in anyway. They are self-adjusting,
                meaning that you will simply not absorb more than you can use. 
                      To further activate
                the remedy's effect, you may wish to use a simple affirmation
                that corresponds with your intent and the nature of the remedy.
                For instance, if you are taking a remedy to increase your receptivity
                to love, you can say "I now let love and appreciation into
                my life", each time you take the remedy. Keep the words
                simple, positive, and framed in the present tense. Or, you may
                wish to put a self-adhesive label on your bottle, with a list
                of the essences it contains and a short phrase such as "receptivity
                to love" or "opening the heart" which you will
                see each time you take the remedy. 
                      Other
                  very effective ways to use your remedy are to add 7 drops to
                  a bath and/or several
                drops to an atomizer or spray bottle filled with water and spray
                it around the rooms of your house or workspace. 
                      4. What to expect:
                Please understand the flower essences do not "take away" troublesome
                feelings or attitudes. Some people actually experience a temporary
                intensification of the issues the remedy is designed to address,
                what is referred to as a "healing crisis", as strong
                emotions or other reactions begin to surface. Naturally you can
                temporarily stop taking the remedy if you get too uncomfortable.
                You can also get some support while this process is occurring,
                since a willingness to experience and feel what is actually there
                is an intrinsic part of the healing. Most people, however, find
                the remedies quite gentle. Insights into the nature of the problem
                and how you are contributing to or maintaining it may emerge.
                Or, you may simply notice a gradual attitudinal, emotional, or
                energetic shift, and more harmony in that area of your life.
                Some very sensitive people feel the effects of the remedies on
                their chakras (particularly the heart and solar plexus) immediately
                upon taking them. 
                      If the pattern
                you are working with is longstanding, as the ones which are related
                to your birth chart are apt to be, you may need more than one
                bottle of given remedy. Or, after one bottle, you may want to
                give it a rest, and then go back to that remedy later. If you
                frequently "forget" to take the remedy or simply lose
                interest in it, this may be a signal that now is not the time
                for that particular one. 
               
              COLOR THERAPY: 
                      Color
                  can be used to calm or energize, to cleanse, to stimulate a
                  given energy
                center in the body, or to promote balance and an overall sense
                of well-being. In addition to paying attention to how color affects
                you and using that awareness in your choice of clothing and home
                or office decor, here are two methods to utilize color: 
                      1.
                  Color-solarized water: This is a very easy method. The supplies
                  needed are a
                clear glass jar or bottle, colored cellophane (which can be purchased
                at an art supply store), drinking water, sunshine, and a clear
                quartz crystal (optional). Sterilize the jar or bottle, fill
                it with water, and if you wish add a clear quartz crystal (this
                magnifies the effects of the color). Then, close the bottle,
                wrap it in the colored cellophane, and secure the cellophane
                with a rubber band at the top. Place the bottle in a sunny spot
                for 2-6 hours, preferably outdoors. After removing the crystal,
                you can drink it freely and/or use it to make your flower remedies. 
                      2.
                  Color Breathing: This exercise can be used to clear your energy
                  system of psychic
                debris, stimulate a sluggish or blocked chakra, and promote healing.
                Choose a place that is well-ventilated. You may stand or sit
                as you prefer, keeping your spine erect. Begin by taking 2 or
                3 deep, gentle breaths, inhaling slowly through your nose and
                exhaling through your mouth. Then as you breathe in, see and
                feel the color filling your entire body. As you continue to breathe,
                imagine the color surrounding your body as well, extending out
                about two feet all round you, to create a beautiful egg-shaped
                bubble of colored light. Simply breathe in this color for 5-10
                minutes. 
                      To
                  work on a particular chakra, you may start by breathing clear,
                  white, or
                golden light (as described above). Then focus your attention
                on the center that needs clearing or balancing. For the base
                or root chakra, imagine a glowing sphere of bright, apple red
                at the very base of your spine. As you breathe, imagine the light
                becoming stronger and brighter. For the sacral center (located
                about 2 inches above the pubic bone) the color is orange. For
                the solar plexus (halfway between the navel and sternum), the
                color is bright yellow. For the heart, green or pink. For the
                throat, sky blue. For the brow center (located between the eyebrows
                and up about one inch), indigo blue. For the crown center (at
                the top of the head), purple, violet, or white. (You may use
                which ever one you feel most attracted to). 
                      If you cannot "see" the
                color with your mind's eye, just imagine that it is there. An
                inability to visualize a certain color often indicates a particular
                need for that very color. 
                      To derive healing
                benefits from visualization and color breathing, it is not necessary
                to spend a great deal of time. Five to ten minutes once or twice
                a day is quite adequate. And, once again you decide when you
                have "had enough" of a given color or exercise. A change
                in your feelings about a given color (less attraction to or "craving" for
                it, or less repulsion toward it, for instance) can be a clue. 
               
              AROMATHERAPY: 
                      Aromatherapy
                involves the use of essential oils from plants and flowers. It
                is much different from flower essence therapy in that it is primarily
                the "healing fragrance" which influences body and emotions
                through the scents. (Flower essences are odorless). Aromatherapy
                can be utilized either as a perfume (especially applied to the
                chakras), in bath water, in massage oil, or diffused in the air
                via steam or incense. Read labels carefully and take precautions
                using these potent oils.
