I had a friend many years ago who liked to define his relationships with people by the ‘reason, season or a lifetime’ principle. He would often ask people soon after meeting them how long they would be in his life. Needless to say, our friendship only lasted a season. While many of us don’t feel the need to define our relationships so exclusively, it is good to understand that every relationship we have can come to a natural end, either after a steady decline in connection or with an abrupt conclusion.

Coping with a relationship breakup can turn your whole world upside down and make you question every decision you made during the relationship. The challenges that we face when coping with and recovering from a relationship breakup can influence everything from our selection of friends to where we live. Flower essences are my go-to remedies for people who are struggling to deal with any emotional challenges in their life.

The following Australian bush flower essences are my personal favourites for not only coping with the turmoil of a relationship breakup but also to empower and encourage a renewed spirit and enthusiasm for a new stage in life.

Red Grevillea is an excellent remedy for those who feel stuck in a relationship, particularly where dependence is influencing the decision to move on in life. Red Grevillea encourages bravery to step beyond the comfort of a familiar relationship into the realm of new experiences.

Red Suva Frangipani is a nurturing remedy that forms the foundation of a flower essence formula for relationship change. Red Suva Frangipani rebalances the emotions and promotes inner peace, even when change seems overwhelming.

Christmas Bell helps one to manifest their desired outcomes. “Energy flows where attention goes”, and Christmas Bell flower essence enables this forwards movement to reach goals and true potential.

Mongo Waratah helps to strengthen your will and is especially useful when you reach that cloudy point of not knowing which way to go next. Mongo Waratah allows one to break away from dependant patterns of neediness and enables freedom of spirit and self-empowerment.

Sunshine Wattle is an expansive remedy to promote joy and optimism. Sunshine Wattle is great for those who feel stuck in the past, it allows freedom to take on new adventures with brisk optimism and an open mind.
