Learn about yourself as you learn about the flowers
Dr. Bach believed that self-knowledge is key to a better outcome. Reflecting on ourselves and how we react to situations is a fundamental part of learning how to use flower essences. This course is filled with journal prompts and exercises to help integrate the material.
