Statistically, 1 in 5 women in the United States has been a victim of sexual assault or abuse. These numbers are considerably higher in reality, as this statistic doesn’t account for the ones who go unreported. What’s worse, those who commit these crimes are often defended and protected, which is why so many women choose not to report them. Those who don’t go to the police have stated they felt too scared or ashamed to come forward, or to be dismissed or accused of making it up. Yet, some are told to think about what their reports would mean, or how the defense will rip apart their past during character examination. How this could ruin a young man’s life.
Sexual assault is one of the hardest traumas to talk about because it brings up memories that we would rather not relive. Survivors of sexual assault succumb to many issues that affect their quality of life, such as lack of trust, sexual dysfunction, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and substance abuse. Therapy can be helpful, but for those who still struggle in silence over sexual assault trauma, the courage to take back their life is a long and difficult process.
When I first started my flower essence journey, Diana was preparing for her Practitioners Training Course. She asked if I would be a consultation subject for her class so she could demonstrate intuitively choosing essences for clients during a session. I agreed, but told myself not to overshare – just stick to the surface stuff. When the time came, however, the floodgates broke wide open! Tears were streaming down my face in front of a room full of students, while Diana’s calm, caring voice helped guide me through the session.
No one judged me; instead, I was offered support by caring hearts, and many shared their solidarity. This was the beginning of my journey toward emotional healing with flower essences. I have come a long way since then, but I am still healing. My healing journey would be a lot different without flower essences. Old wounds energetically shifted within me to a place where my body could release some of the trauma.
My deepest, heartfelt love and solidarity to those reading this who have been victims of sexual assault or abuse. You aren’t alone. This does not define you, you did not deserve it, and it wasn’t your fault. If you need someone to talk to or if you would like to set up a consultation, please reach out. We offer a sliding scale rate for anyone in need. There is also a wonderful resource for victims of sexual assault and rape called R A.I.N.N.
The flower essences on special this month will help soothe emotional trauma, and soften deeply rooted pain from sexual assault or trauma. There are no blends highlighted this month, but I will be having a blends special sometime in the next week, so look out for that!
Hugs – Rhaychell

Physical symptoms can include being in a frequent state of fight/flight/freeze, hyperactivity, hormonal imbalances, or problems with autonomic functions

Use Skullcap Flower Essence when you feel outside of yourself, beside yourself, vacant, not all here. It is called for when you have a sense your soul is not completely settled into your body. This may have been caused by extreme stress, shock or trauma – for example, a car accident, extreme fright or birth trauma. It may have been caused by spiritual overexpansion, going out of body and not being able to completely return. This can create symptoms such as inflammation and headaches.

Motherwort Flower Essence
|
Use Motherwort Flower Essence when feeling an unresolved shock to the emotional heart. Could be from a trauma, neglect, or loss of a loved one – may lead to feeling detached and joyless. You may feel separated from Spirit, be self-critical, seek approval, or feel less than others. There may be a hardness in your communication and actions to cover up insecurity. Other symptoms might include depression, high or low blood pressure, hyperthyroidism or hypothyroid, physical heart problems, nervous anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. These symptoms may appear or become accentuated during menopause.

Pennyroyal Flower Essence
|
Pennyroyal Flower Essence cycles through the sympathetic nervous system’s fight/flight/freeze response. She calms the adrenaline response so you can return to the restful state brought forth by the parasympathetic nervous system. Doing so helps bring down emotional reactions like fear and helplessness and calms behaviors like aggression. It also addresses symptoms like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, hypertension, high blood pressure, depleted adrenal glands, and difficulty eating and sleeping

Turkey Tail & Comfrey Essence Combo
|
Use Turkey Tail Mushroom Essence when you are ready to break down and release the patterns and memories of childhood, tween, or teen abuse or trauma. For a time these may be necessary for survival. However, continuing to hold these energies after they are no longer useful can lead to symptoms such as fibromyalgia, autoimmune disorders, fear, powerlessness, or disassociation.
Use Comfrey Flower Essence when you experience very deep emotional and psychological wounds that are usually from trauma, abuse, and shock. The wounds could be recent or very old, from this lifetime or a past life.
