From Surviving to Thriving using Flower Essences with Kerrie Searle, Animal Communicator
I'm delighted to welcome back Kerrie Searle, a dear friend & animal communicator based in Australia. Kerrie has previously joined me twice now, including an introduction to Animal communication in Ep 11 & further wisdom from the animals & our journey to reconnecting in Ep 62.
In this conversation we have shifted focus to consider the gentle but powerful alliance that plants offer us to move through the challenges of our times. It is time to be guided to move from surviving to thriving so that we are able to show up fully in this world & actively do what is ours to do.
Kerrie shares how she found herself at rock bottom alongside Doctors who had exhausted all their treatment options & shortly after this she found Flower Essences & the gentle yet transformative healing they offer that actively evolves to the needs of both the individual & the collective.
We discuss our shared journey of exploring this healing modality, whilst living in a culture that separates us from our inherent knowing & connection to the world, inspired by indigenous ancestors & existing worldviews where living in full connection with the web of life & embracing plant intelligence is still a reality. We share stories of the flower essence blends Kerrie creates & our profound experiences in administering them. No conversation with Kerrie is complete without a little Whale wisdom.
Learn more about Kerrie:
“After experiencing enormous trauma throughout my life, both personally & professionally (having been a police detective for 17 years), I was mentally, physically & emotionally broken when I retired from the police force. Heavily medicated & in & out of hospital for years, my life was on a constant downward spiral. I realised the medical model I was using wasn’t helping me to get better & it was at this point that I chose a more holistic approach to my healing journey & also discovered the extraordinary healing power of flower essences.
As I journeyed from a place of deep suppression to reconnecting with the disconnected parts of myself, I also reconnected with my ability to communicate with animals (& other beings/energies) at a very deep level.
I now make my own flower essences from the indigenous plants/trees where I live and I use different combinations of flower essences to make a number of blends that I use to heal and support my journey through life. These blends are also used for my animal and human clients.
I bring my life experiences & learnings & now assist other humans to reconnect to the disconnected parts of themselves so that they too can communicate with their animals more deeply. I receive feelings, words, pictures, smells & tastes from animals which allow me to communicate at a very deep level & become a voice for the animals, conveying what they need heard, to their humans.”
