I've been taking flower essences for 15 years. The plants have taught me soooooo much! They are powerful medicines. Lovely talk :)
I surround my life with plants, fine herbs and animals, mostly dogs. Birds abound in my garden, as well as bees and butterflies. I am happy.
CANADIAN!
During the lockdown I have seen so many bees returning to mt garden, and seeing more blooms, more growrh than I have seen in years.
during COVID I saw more bees appear, it was heart warming.
Nature, nurtures!
Sounds like a beautiful life.
I absolutely love bach flower essence. It will and has changed peoples lives. It is a truly beautiful gentle emotional support. We must also acknowledge though and admit that Indigenous people have already always known of and created flower medicine "essence" since we have existed. Bless you all❤
Textalks is strictly against Homeopathy. Perhaps they dont know that Bach flower remedies are Homeopathic remedies. Homeopathy is magnificient and miraculous when prescribed rightly.
I was never big on gardening because my parents had a big vegetable garden and made me help regularly. Later in life people were always giving me plants, (no idea why, because I don't like plants), so to be kind I had to learn to take care of them. So now caring for them gives me real pleasure! I'm going to rent a little summer cottage this year with a small garden and I will be gardening for the whole summer!
Healing gardens are a part of the health care system in Japan. I've always wanted to visit Japan when I read they have 20,000 natural spas.
BACH flower essences were very helpful to me for depression with cancer. Hospitals, clinics, or healing centers in the future will have sun rooms where patients may sit with flowers and herbs growing there. People will sit in the sun and bathe or read. I make my own flower oils and use them when I perform jin shin on myself and for meditation. Much better results with this.
I these days of chemical pharma solutions, we need more healers like this, being us back closer to nature and the true way to find health. Thank you Gudrun!
The magic that is held within plants is amazing. I've always believed that having green life around you can make your world so much better. I so loved this talk!
Nature is healing. I love hugging the trees and touching the plants' leaves. It makes me feel so comfy.
flower essences are life changing
r they really? i have heard this and really want to try
@@jovitasardens207 yes i have been using them for over a year. i can recommend a seller on etsy if you would like
Amazing talk. I use flower essences for psychological and physical
Issues. And they work.
So do I, and they work too...
My culture has always used nature to find cures.
nature cures!
where can i find what physical issues they may help with?
@@WithAngelWings they are usually online listed. I like FES brand and Dr Bach brand. I usually recommend certain one’s based on the core emotions that are underlying the physical issues.
Well Gudrun, TED may think this falls outside their guidelines but there are a great many of us that have all our sense on and tuned into plant spirit medicine. Thanks for taking the courageous leap and sharing your wisdom. The planet needs more people like you.
Agreed 👍 🙏
they are always trying to save their own tush.
Why does TED has its guidelines dictated by private interest that is depriving us from the God given wealth of plants to benefit from? Healers were banned, now plant healing?
Unexpectedly, like Covid that appeared, “something” will happen and lies will be seen for what they are.
Blessıngs Ms. Pendelin, you are amazing and refreshing like the morning dew on colorful petals.
We need people like you.
Thank you.
More than food and beauty. Let the healing begin.
you got here before I had a chance to come back and comment?
Living in communities of house after house, we forget that this kind of environment is not natural for us. Your talk invites me to remember our ancestry, and what's important.
Such a lovely lady imparting great wisdom. I fully believe in the healing power of nature. I keep alot of house plants and a small but happy garden and I'm so content. It really does calm the nerves stepping in to nature.
Your talk is the reason I sing to my plants, Gudrun!
I do too!
Haha so do i and they are doing great!
Its so easy to forget, everything we use or consume is nature that must be nurtured by humans.
yes true.
we are terrible carers for this planet!
The healing benefit of plants, I find this just by planting and caring for them. I'm only a novice but the emotional benefit are invigorating..
My mother used to go to the garden to get cures for a cold, the flu, a scrape or even a headache. And it worked.
Same here man. And I teach my kids the same!
I wish we had more of these sort of gardens these days
Just watched this very sweet, inspiring, and delightfully encouraging presentation on flowers, their essences, and the wonderful and mysterious ways flowers communicate with us and Nature. Gudrun, I'm proud to say, was a student of Grand Medicine Sclerology. I hope you enjoy this lovely and informative offering as much as I have and share it with everyone.
Upon seeing sclerology as part of her bio and here in your comment I was curious to look it up and as in alignment as things could be your
book popped up with just a search of “sclerology.” It seems it’s destined for me to read
Sharing right away because despite the disclaimer, we should be looking to flowers and all planets for healing and for sustainability! This woman is absolutely beautiful and the way she presents this is stunning. Thank you so much Gudrun!
Beautifully done! Thank you. 100% agree and LOVE💐
I had goosebumps all the way though this. We are in a time on this planet where our balance with our finite eco system is so important. I love her! I will be sharing!
Thank you Dana. We can gain hope and strength from staying connected to the plant kingdom. Humankind needs to comprehend that the Earth is not a commodity but truly our Mother that does more for us than we realize. These are surreal times...My hope for this talk was that it would reach at least a few people and resonate on a deep level with anyone listening to it - regardless of if people were conscious of this or not. So, your comment makes me very happy. Thank you again.
And I am so grateful you did!
@@gudrunpenselin5649 Beautiful point and I sure hope we wake up before it is too late
I had heard about Bach Remedies before but I've always wanted to research and experiment myself. This woman has definitely reinspired me to look further into such things!
Quite simply nature provides everything we need. Love this talk!!! Pure wisdom!!
I've always been one to use my garden as a way to calm myself, whether it's through medicine via the plants or just through their beauty. It is so beautiful to see other humans seeing the sacred importance of plants.
it is where peace is found!
I've stumbled or rather been guided to bach flower remedies just this week although I am aware of these remedies. The bach flower that I have discovered for now is Gentian, and when I researched the function it was very powerful as it resonated with my journey. Here by divine guidance, love it ❤
I surround myself and family with vases of beatiful flowers in nearly everyroom - I designed floral arrangements for thirty years retired from that but grow my own flowers in my yard have plant collection with antique plants that were started by my grandmother kept alive when she passed by my mother kept alive by me when my mother passed I KNOW THE HEALING POWER OF FLOWERS - my favorite blue flowers love hydrangeas ! The blue flowers make my brain HAPPY !!!
I take 7 Bach remedies every day and will continue taking those daily for about 6 months.
We save ourselves when we save our planet, which gives us all the things we need to heal with!
Bach flower Essence helps a lot too!
which do you like?
Your energy gives the audience a direct experience of what's possible by attuning ourselves to nature. Thank you for the grace, peace, and poise you exude.
Love this talk, thank you so much. 🌻💮🌼🌺🏵
Mindfulness and immersing yourself in nature, just hearing those words makes me long to be outdoors.
I feel that, I want nothing more then to gallivant in a field now.
Wonderful and awakening speech..
More and more evidence shows us the benefits of not being on drugs, but being on nature. Great talk!
Nature knows best (and smells best)
Flowers and plants bring us presence, yet we are often too busy to stop and smell the roses so to speak.
A powerful and inspiring message! Thank you, Gudrun for helping us understand the healing energy in the natural world.
Really appreciate the talk and the statistics! Increasing Natural Killer Cells by being in a forest is AWESOME. Thanks for the information and inspiration Gudrun.
Gudrun is a fantastic herbal teacher who is very passionate about her work! Extremely knowledgeable too! Great to see she is doing more lectures!
I talk to my plants all the time.
Flowers essences are wonderful!!💝💚💙💜
They are like magic, so subtle yet powerful.
This womens heartfelt love touched my soul. What a beautiful woman.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am happy to hear that my presentation resonated with you. Green Blessings, Gudrun
I think this is just brilliant. We need to be looking at what this planet has given us to heal before we start taking advantage of the finite resources it offers. I hope we are not too late
I will do anything for heal me and my life. thank you.
I listened to this two times as I tried to nap. I always do that with messages that are spiritually soothing and intellectually powerful. Thank you, Gudrun! Love your on-stage delivery (I didn't know you had such a warmly humourous manner!) Love your love of plants--your respect for them. I am super-curious about purchasing your product now. (Also, you look great! And I want that cape! Lol.)
I loved your talk and the positivity you brought to the stage! Powerful message and delivery. Thank-you for sharing with the world.
Gudrun is an inspiration to everyone! It was a lovely talk and more people should listen.Congratulations Gudrun!
Flowers and emotions - in the way of life we are all connected. Very interesting talk.
Have you noticed due to Covid, there are more flowers, greener trees and grass that seem to be glowing and vibrant.
Beautiful, gentle voiced lady. A message that we all need to heed. We take plants so much for granted yet they have so much to offer. ❤
Gudrun what a powerful impact, your knowledge and passion towards healing with nature allows us to feel the connection to our place here !!!! Giving us a sense of being able to take responsibility for our own well being, opening possibilities that create a sense of moving forward in our lives. Congratulations on your amazing presentation , touching the hearts of many .
My mother used flowers to make tea, and ointments.
There is so much to learn about plants. Why is that we have seek out the healing benefits and can pick up all kinds of drugs, bad for us food, etc at the corner store or pharmacy.
Couldn't agree more!
Beautiful Gudrun. Thank you for this enlightening talk. I've used Bach flower remedies to support my mental, emotional and physical wellbeing and development too. You have a lovely voice to listen to :-)
I tried the same remedies too, really loved it.
I've wondered about them, now I know they're alright!
It amazes me what we are still learning about plants. I read an article recently about how a very popular flower in China has evolved so that it is harder for Human's to locate and pick them... which is a reminder for me to have respect and understanding for these beautiful little ground beings - like everything else on this planet they need a very fragile eco system to survive and if we do not nurture that eco system we will lose all that makes us well.
that's a real good point!
Frightening that our world is actively figuring out how to evolve in a way that works against us. That's what we get for the disrespect we have shown
Bach flower remedies🙏
Congratulations, Gudrun!
It all started with healing me (thanks to Chiron in bad position in my natal chart)What I would not know is that they (flower and mineral gem essences) would take me to feel the power of now and the bliss of the One. Once you have felt this and once you know the truth of the maya you can't be the same. I'm infinitely grateful to the One that has shared its wisdom with us through these gifts of the flowers and gem elixirs.Thanks Gudrun for helping spreading the word about all of this.Namaste 🙏
I'm often perplexed by this myself.
She is so cute and humble. What a beautiful presentation

The name of my memoir is "The Will of a Wildflower."
Beautiful🌹
Why has this got a disclaimer? She is just telling the truth!
So beautiful
This talk makes me think of a line from a song, 'pave paradise and put up a parking lot.
At 2:45, the presenter mentions a gorse bush moving towards another person. Is it not possible the movement was on account of, say, a cobweb within the bush catching the displaced air current on account of their movement?
Are there remedies for Heavy Metal - Lead (Pb) Poisoning? I have big heavy metal problem caused by taking folk medicines.
❤
Where are the meanings of the flowers coming from? Are there any books where I can read about it?
Thank you
