Vibrational Medicine
By Catherine Keattch
I have chosen to illustrate the use of Vibrational Medicine
with the following case history, because it is a typical
example of how this form of treatment can help people.
It clearly indicates how working with the fundamental issues
in a situation can lead to greater emotional, mental and
physical well being.
All true healing is about raising the consciousness of
the individual to higher levels of self-awareness and self-empowerment.
This involves a process of helping people to find their
own answers from within themselves. Using Vibrational Medicine
is a very safe and effective way of doing this.
Lets look at the case history of a lady that we will call
Joan (this is not her real name).
Joan originally contacted me because she wanted help with
her inability to communicate. However, it quickly became
apparent that there were several complex issues in her life
that she felt unable to resolve.
Background
Three years previously she had had breast cancer that had
been treated by mastectomy and radiation treatment. She
was clearly afraid that this could return in some form,
although all was apparently well physically.
Just prior to the cancer her marriage had broken up and
her husband had left the family home to live with another
women. There had been no discussion around this and the
issues were still unresolved.
She had also been made aware through hypnosis of some early
childhood sexual abuse, which she had not as yet dealt with
at an emotional level.
Observations
When I first met Joan she had just turned fifty. It had
clearly been quite difficult for her to decide to seek help
but there was a determination in her to resolve her problems.
She found it extremely difficult to talk about herself –
she was obviously afraid and there were often long silences
while she mentally rehearsed what she was going to say –
her speech was often very quick with words and sentences
incomplete as though she wanted to get it over with. She
was very emotional and cried very easily.
She recognized that throughout her life she had always
hidden away from contact with others – often avoiding
social situations where she might be asked questions etc.
She also recognized that she was afraid of people knowing
what she was thinking.
These had also been childhood issues, as she had lived a
rather isolated life and did not talk properly until she
was four years old. School had been difficult and she was
very concerned about her inability to read, write and spell
as well as she would like.
Underlying issues that were clearly important and related,
were her relationship with her grown up children who were
still living at home – especially the eldest who was
very dependent and controlling.
There were obvious issues of co-dependency, which were
now being highlighted by the absence of her husband.
Treatment
During the time that I worked with Joan her sessions always
involved an opportunity for her to express how she was feeling
and what had been happening for her, some counselling, a
healing session and vibrational essences for her to take
in the weeks following the session. Consultations were at
approx. three week intervals over a twelve month period.
The vibrational essences that I use in my healing work
are made from the natural energies of flowers, gems, minerals
and crystals. I divide these into two categories - firstly,
Bach Flower Remedies and secondly, the many newer flower,
gem and crystal essences from around the world. It is particularly
from this second group that one is able to find essences
that will facilitate deeper healing within an individual
by allowing them access to deep unconscious mental and emotional
patterns, thereby allowing a more complete healing to take
place. For some people who are ready, this also opens the
way for past life memories to come back into consciousness.
Joan was therefore given combinations of Bach Flower remedies
to help her to deal with general everyday balance, together
with other combinations of flower, gem and crystal essences
to help to heal the underlying issues that were causing
her problems. I have primarily focused on the second group
of essences in this case history but will also briefly mention
the Bach Flower remedies that were most used.
Joan’s Bach Flower combinations consistently contained
Agrimony, Chicory, Centuary, Mimulus & Pine, while Scleranthus,
Red Chestnut, Walnut, Rock Rose and White Chestnut were
some of the others that were frequent helpers. She took
these combinations of 7 or 8 Bach Flower remedies 8 x a
day and found them a great help to keep her balanced during
the time she worked on the deeper issues revealed by the
other essences.
The biggest issue that seemed relevant at our first session
was the distress that Joan was feeling related to the unresolved
issues with her husband. It was clear that she had many
unexpressed emotions relating to these issues that were
making it impossible for her to reach any clear decisions.
I therefore decided to start our work together with a bottle
of Letting Go combination. The four essences in this combination;
Bleeding Heart, Sunflower, Corn & Cleaver work together
to release deep emotional pain caused through grief and
separation, thus allowing controlling tendencies with their
roots in neediness to be understood and released. This brings
the freedom of relative detachment to all concerned in a
situation, thereby allowing the opportunity for new choices.
Joan found this combination very helpful as it allowed
many unexpressed emotions to be slowly released, offering
her some insight into her state of emotional dependency
and her relationships with men in general. It also brought
into focus the need to work with the emotional issues relating
to the childhood sexual abuse.
I therefore decided to work next with a Healing Abuse combination.
The essences in this combination; Larimar, White Chicory,
Calla Lily & Roses – Irene of Denmark & Peace
are focused to help clear and release memories of the shock
and trauma of physical and sexual abuse.
Taking this combination was a profoundly helpful process
for Joan as it unlocked many hidden emotions and feelings
related to that early childhood time that she had been unable
to remember for herself. She recognized that many of her
difficulties in childhood and later adult life, stemmed
from an unconscious feeling that she must keep things secret
and hidden from other people. She also saw that this had
particularly affected her ability to express herself verbally
throughout her entire life, particularly in relations with
men. She became very aware of how afraid she actually was
of voicing her thoughts, needs and emotions.
Her next essences were a combination of Lapis Lazuli, Aquamarine,
Ruby & Clear Quartz. The focus here was on helping her
to clear away her deep fears around self-expression and
also to open the heart and balance the solar plexus.
It became obvious when Joan came for her next session that
changes were beginning to take place within her and that
these were being reflected in her outer life. She was able
to express what was going on for her with more clarity and
greater confidence. She reported that she had arranged some
tuition to help her with her reading and writing skills,
and that she had decided to put the family house on the
market so that she could look to making a new start in a
different place. She also expressed her fears and anxieties
that she would not be strong enough to carry through this
change of lifestyle by herself. It therefore seemed that
the time had arrived to work with some of her underlying
fears.
To achieve this she next took a powerful combination of
deep acting fear essences including, St. John’s Wort,
Fig, Aventurine & Garlic (Inner Calm). The insights
gained here allowed her to see that these were old fears
that really had no relationship to her real circumstances
in life.
From this time on Joan made great progress, completing
the process of selling her house and moving to a nearby
town, while also taking on a new job that involved communication
and organizational skills.
One of the greatest issues that Joan faced in this process
was that of finding her own inner resources and strength,
while also learning to recognize and re- evaluate her own
boundaries with the world and those around her. Two of the
combinations that Joan took that were particularly helpful
in bringing healing and insight with these issues were the
Solar Plexus Chakra combination and the Inner Strength combination.
The essences in the Solar Plexus combination; Pearl, Moonstone,
Rose of Sharon and Buttercup help to bring balance to the
emotional response of an individual by allowing a gradual
release of the emotional pressure and tension that can build
up inside people who find it difficult to express their
emotions. As balance is restored in this area there is usually
a great sense of freedom from the recognition that there
are choices of how to react to your own and others emotions.
For some people it is the first time that they have been
able to differentiate between their own emotions and those
of others.
This was the case for Joan, who was able to see more clearly
the control dramas that were going on in her life and to
make changes in the way she reacted. The result of this
was not only of great benefit to herself but also for those
close to her, as the changes offered them the opportunity
of a different perspective from which to work.
We continued to work with these and other issues in her
life in a similar way over a period of time using different
essences.
Slowly but surely Joan lost her fears of communicating
with others as she regained her sense of self-value and
began to define herself in relation to the world around
her. She began to take responsibility for herself and to
recognize that she had choices, which allowed new opportunities
to come into her life.
Several years have passed and Joan has gone from strength
to strength, returning occasionally during this time for
more healing and essences.
She is pleased and delighted with her own progress, most
of all because she feels that she has been set free and
feels empowered to create a new life for herself. Perhaps
most importantly, she also knows from deep within herself
that she has healed the underlying issues that caused her
cancer and that she need no longer fear that it will return.
