I QUIT Flower Essence from Alexis Smart, the Vibrational Medicine You Need
My adventure with this vibrational medicine
Spoiler alert: you can tell by the smile on my face that it worked!
A few years ago, I started diving in deep and transversing a path filled with spirituality and alternative healing modalities, partly due to a personal pursuit of curiosity and seeking freedom from traditional Western medicine. My persistent need for knowledge grew from my early experiences with Traditional Chinese Medicine. After moving to Los Angeles and landing my first design job, I found myself with tremendous back and wrist pain caused by my poor habits in front of the computer. TCM helped to resolve that pain within a couple of visits, and since then, I've been hooked on alternative medicine. As time has moved on, I've seen the wellness industry expand, and biohacking becoming normalized, so it's no surprise that my love for beauty and wellness would intersect. Fast forward to today, and I've filled my health + wellness toolkit with lots of new tools. I've also become certified in Reiki, Sound Practice, and Breathwork. Something that I never would have thought possible if you asked me during my college years of greek life and fast food. Now that I've subscribed to the motto, Health is Wealth, (shout out to Shel) my whole approach has changed and continues to evolve. Over the next few months, I'll be diving in more to my experiences with meditation, flower essences, quantum field, and spiritual + wellness practices. I hope this series will help you along your journey to achieve well-being in all parts of your life.
Now back to I QUIT. What a funny name, right? It's definitely a show stopper when perusing Alexis Smart's website. A couple of years ago, I was introduced to Alexis Smart, thanks to Lacy Phillips Supported videos and EXPANDED podcasts. The magic that was shared in those episodes spurred me to see what flower essences are all about. I remember seeing Dr. Bach's flower formulas in Whole Foods in the beauty/health section years ago and thinking, what the heck are these. I would read the material on the packaging and display but still felt confused about how flower remedies worked. Thankfully Alexis shared her personal story of her healing journey with flower remedies as vibrational medicine, and it just clicked. I finally understood the power and beauty of this natural medicine.
It was probably a year later when I treated myself to consultation with Alexis Smart for a custom formula. (Now that's a whole other story I'll leave for a later post because it's a wild ride.) After my custom formula was completed and seeing results, I decided to check out other options in her shop. One of which was I QUIT. This magical bottle was screaming at me from the product page as if it was saying, YOU NEED ME. Truth be told, I was in a job that was not good for my health, but I couldn't bring myself to leave it. (Raise your hand if you've ever been there!) I also was having intense sugar cravings at night and indulging in way too many decadent desserts–all vegan, of course. It was one of the ways I was numbing my stress. So I purchased a bottle and waited eagerly for the mailman to drop it off (kind of like Bart Simpson and his spy camera). Sadly, when the delivery day came, my package was missing. Luckily I saw him down the street and chased after him. He must have thought I was crazy because I was in my socks and no shoes. I guess I really needed that bottle! ;) So enough backstory, you're probably saying, get on with the results. Here are some of the serendipitous events that occurred after my 30 days with Alexis Smart's I QUIT formula.
During the first few days, I noticed a behavior change. I was naturally leaning towards healthier foods like celery juice in the morning and lots of salads during the day. As I got closer to 30 days, my sugar cravings subsided naturally, and I did not miss indulging in the pint of vegan ice cream with my hubs. Massive win for my thighs and overall mood! No more blood sugar rollercoaster rides.
My main intention for taking I QUIT was to quiet the mind of negative chatter. My monkey mind was off the hook and needed a vital timeout. While that wasn't something I noticed immediately, I did see that I was finding tools to assist in that process. Magically I started diving into Joe Dispenza's books: Becoming Superhuman, You Are the Placebo, and Breaking the Habit of Being You. Each book helped me see clearly that I could heal myself by actively participating in creating my health.
Another bonus was creating strong boundary lines that were missing from my life. My days of being a doormat were over. I put a stop to toxic behaviors from people and put myself on a social media detox diet. Both made a huge positive impact on my health—another point for this flower essence.
Last but certainly not least, I was subconsciously praying I QUIT would help me get clarity on leaving my job. I had a tentative date for when I would resign. But after the first day of taking I QUIT, I got a call (on a Sunday that was my birthday) that I was being laid off due to COVID-19. It was almost kismet. Now I'm not saying I'm happy that the pandemic impacted me or anyone else in losing their jobs. Still, it did open up an opportunity to leave my previous employer and start my healing process from that experience—a beautiful and unexpected gift from the Universe. One that I made the most of with the time I was given.
There were lots of little things that happened too, but the ones above were pretty life-changing. It's important to note that these four experiences were personalized to me–what my body, spirit and mind needed at the time. To be clear, these events that I experienced most likely will not occur for you as they did for me. And if they did, it would be expressed in a totally unique adventure for you. Since this is vibrational medicine, it works with your subtle body's energy. Your experiences and results will be unique to you. Maybe it's quitting smoking or biting your nails that you need assistance with. These gentle formulas are not quick fixes but instead help replace old habits with new healthier ones. If there is something on your list that you are looking to leave behind or change, check out Alexis Smart. Her website and Instagram have a ton of great information and testimonials. It's a gentle medicine that can benefit you on your path to healing.
Be well,
