Dear Nickie! The first steps of many in your journey is your association with the Bach Flower — Rescue Remedy for when you have had some feelings of depression, anxiety, bad news, Star of Bethlehem when you feel very bad indeed practically suicidal. Take one drop on the tongue every four hours for the first day and then one drop three times a day for a few days until your symptoms vanish. There are some 34 remedies for each and every mental state — they are non-addictive, there are no side effects, and they are pure and free from chemicals of any sort. When I arrive home I will send you the book and various other books. You are what I should term psychic, sensitive and one of us — you have the capacity to heal and are one of us. Whatever choice you make of the path you take, it is your decision and your decision alone. I wish you good fortune in your decision and I will give you every help and encouragement in your decision because this is the reason for our meeting which is not an accident. Go in peace and with loving kindness. Dennis Fontannaz
