At some point in our lives I think most people have experienced heartbreak. Romantic relationships are beautiful yet quite challenging at times as they serve as great teachers. Relationships bring up anything that needs to be healed and integrated within you. We open ourselves up and allow ourselves to be vulnerable. It takes a lot of courage to excel in relationships and a willingness to really work on yourself daily. When a romantic relationship ends heartbreak can consume us and sometimes it’s really difficult to pick ourselves back up and find the light. It’s normal to feel down and I believe it is very important to allow ourselves to feel and to grieve for a period of time but life must go on. You are a child of God with glorious gifts to share with the World. Shine your light bright once again. Surrender to God; release all discord over to the Divine to be healed. Know that “this too shall pass”. Find the lessons in the experience. There is an opportunity for growth in every experience. God’s love is the only power there is. As changes occur in your life and as you encounter challenging and trying times, remember you are safe, secure and loved. Stay true and love yourself during these times. Trust that everything really is in divine order. Sometimes certain pieces of the puzzle must fall into place so that the master plan can come to fruition. Don’t try to force open closed doors, trust that they are closed for your highest good. Look for doors that are open and walk through them with faith and gratitude.
Here are 5 natural remedies to assist you with the healing process:

1. Ignatia:

Is a Homeopathic remedy (also known as Ignatia Amara or Iamara). Ignatia is used for acute grief and is the first remedy to consider in the case of emotional shock, whether it be the loss of a loved one, the breakup of a friendship or romantic relationship, the loss of a job or any sort of disappointment or trauma. The purpose of the remedy is to support the grieving process, allowing the person to better cope with their situation.

Bach flower remedies help us to become more conscious and aware. They create harmony. Sweet Chestnut is very beneficial for those moments that happen when the anguish is so great as to seem unbearable.
