Since Edward Bach’s death in 1936, his discovery of the vibrational healing properties found in quintessential plants—the famous Bach Flower Remedies—has grown from a tiny cottage industry to one of the best-known alternative medicine systems in the world. But Dr Bach’s system of healing is more wide-ranging than nearly every user of his remedies recognised in his time. Dr Bach was a true mystic and healer, and his system was not simply one of healing for the individual, but healing for the world.
Gaye Mack, MA, has unique experience both sides of the Atlantic working with the Bach remedies, having studied with a number of principle Bach practitioners. In this book, she is among the first to take the wider dimensions of Bach’s work seriously.
Bach’s writing also shows a fascination with numbers, from a spiritual perspective. Unusually for his time, his writing shows him preoccupied with mother India, the great masters, the white brotherhood, and Buddha; although elsewhere he shows deep appreciation of Christian teaching and values. This combination is the basis of his deeper mystical program, which, until this book, was scarcely explored.
Igniting Soul Fire takes us deeper than most other investigations of the Bach remedies to date showing how, through careful attention to the twelve Great Healers among the remedies, the seven ‘Helpers,’ and the final nineteen remedies, major change can be effected in the self. The end result of using the remedies in the fullest way is not simply healing but transformation; Igniting Soul Fire!

Bach to Basics
Gaye Mack helps us understand the mind of the creator of the ‘Bach Flower Remedies,’ Dr Edward Bach. These flower remedies have long been used to help treat pain and ease it. Bach discovered the first nineteen remedies from 1928 to 1933 and then the final nineteen in 1934 to 1935. Gaye explores the mystical and philosophical ideas behind Bach’s thinking. The book takes us on a journey exploring spiritual law, intuition, and what is a healer... An interesting and thought-provoking read.
This is not an introduction to the practical uses of the Bach flower remedies, but an essay on what they have come to mean for the author in terms of her spiritual path. [...]
Going way beyond the basic key-word analysis, these essays [on the four elements] are a useful ‘way in’ to the understanding of these pillars of esoteric lore. [...]
[T]he New-Age preoccupation with one’s spiritual quest has a familiar scent.
Deeply exploring and healing our own psyche and emotional life is the foundation for good health. However, this cannot be accomplished until we take on the difficult life long task of a sincere spiritual quest. In this search, the Bach remedies assist practitioners and all who seek healing from within to discover what ignites their soul’s fire for healing and growth.
With depth of insight, Gaye Mack explores Dr. Bach’s history as a healer and mystic. Further, she plumbs the depths of the personality’s desires and motivators, seated in the emotional patterns of our chakras so that we may discover our own personal mystic journey. Mack communicates a message that encourages us to trust our own process as we travel along this path.

[A] fascinating insight into Dr. Bach’s life and work. A big section on the elements will be of interest to astrologers as will the snippets of information relating to his chart. This author clearly knows far more than she has space to communicate here so we look forward to future publications. A lovely book!
