Leading Light by Patricia Kaminski Leading Light has been used as a key formula for decades in FES humanitarian and natural disaster rescue work. Its purpose is to help strengthen the resolve to serve others actively and selflessly in times of emergency and acute distress. Over time, it has emerged as a more foundational formula that can be of support in a wider way for so many who are called to bring initiative, courage, and wisdom in times of stress or crisis for their families, community, or in other capacities of service, organization, teaching, or leadership. Leading Light helps to inspire and energize the capacity for personal leadership that moves beyond self-concern or hesitation, toward compassionate insight and courageous action for the benefit of others. -1-

"I worked in an outdoor clinic with a small team of volunteers to help displaced and traumatized victims of the Paradise (Camp) Fire near Chico, California. The Leading Light Formula provided a comforting container of strength to stay motivated and strong in our intentions. We used it repeatedly to help to keep our spirits up and our minds strong."

Practical Directions Formulated for Direct Use — The FES Flourish Formulas™ are conveniently packaged with spray tops, ready for direct application. The standard oral dosage is one or two sprays in the mouth, four times daily in-between meals or before eating. For emergency or intense healing episodes, dose more frequently until the condition has stabilized. When to Use — The two most important times for application are when the body-soul matrix is shifting between wake and sleep: upon awakening, and just before sleeping. Many find it helpful to keep a bottle of the formula on the night stand for this purpose, along with another bottle that is carried in the purse or briefcase, or kept at the place of work, such as the office desk. (Flora-Sleep should be taken just prior to rest, please see the special indications for this formula.) Topical Application for Subtle Body Healing — The FES Flourish Formula™ spray tops allow topical applications to be effortless and sanitary. One of the most effective topical applications is on the pulse point inside the wrist. Spray and then lightly rub in the mixture; then apply gentle pressure for a minute or so while breathing deeply. Other receptor sites, meridians or chakra points respond very well to flower essences, depending on the knowledge and skill of the practitioner and the particular symptoms being treated. For example, it is very efficacious to apply the Sacred Heart™ Flourish formula on points along the heart meridian, in tandem with oral doses. Topical Application with Creme — The Flourish line is synergistically compatible with Self-Heal Creme™, or you can use any other carrier creme that is suitable. Apply one or two sprays per ounce of creme and then stir in both directions. General Misting – The Flourish formulas can also be very effective when lightly misted around the whole body, the head and surrounding body space. Be sure to close eyes and remove glasses before doing so. This method is a special favorite for many children. Herbal Supplement Status – These formulas are herbal supplements.
