"La tragedia del Giappone lo dimostra: possiamo perdere tutto in in attimo.
Ma la cosa da non perdere mai è il coraggio di RICOMINCIARE.
Se perdi quello perdi tutto."
Come terapeuta posso pensare a come potremmo dare una mano con i mezzi che abbiamo alle persone colpite dallo tsunami, così vi ripropongo un articolo pubblicato l'anno scorso dedicato all'aiuto che hanno portato i rimedi floreali alle vittime del terremoto in Abruzzo del 2009 per aiutarle proprio a ricominciare.
Eccolo:
Il 7 Aprile 2009, il giorno dopo il terremoto che ha colpito l'Abruzzo, ho ricevuto un sms di una collega floriterapeuta che diceva più o meno così: "Vedere quelle persone che soffrono e sapere che potrebbero essere aiutate dai rimedi floreali mi spinge a voler intervenire. Cosa potremmo fare?".
Abbiamo deciso di contattare immediatamente la nostra associazione, l'Unione di Floriterapia di Milano e l'albo italiano R.I.F. per chiedere come agire in caso di calamità.
Il direttivo si è tempestivamente attivato contattando i soci che vivono in centro Italia e le aziende distributrici di Essenze che hanno messo a disposizione gratuitamente le formule floreali adatte al soccorso, alcune delle quali create in occasione dell' 11 Settembre dalla FES Californiana.
Non è stato facile intervenire con la terapia floreale a favore della popolazione colpita cercando di non intralciare le associazioni che prestavano il loro aiuto e sono passati alcuni mesi prima di poter agire direttamente sul posto, ma quel piccolo contributo che i fiori sono riusciti a portare è stato estremamente significativo.

Lo tsunami dell' 11 Marzo 2011 in Giappone
Ecco il resoconto dell'intervento a sostegno della popolazione abruzzese terremotataredatto dal direttivo R.I.F (Registro Italiano Floriterapeuti):
"Nei giorni immediatamente dopo il terremoto, grazie anche alla sollecitazione di alcuni soci, abbiamo cercato una strada ufficiale per dare un sostegno emotivo alla popolazione abruzzese colpita dal sisma.
Abbiamo contattato le associazioni di volontariato laiche e cattoliche, la Protezione Civile, abbiamo cercato contatti con politici e con privati, con distributori e produttori di essenze floreali.
A metà luglio, il nostro referente per l'Abruzzo, Maria Nicoletta Bucchicchio, ha incontrato il Preside e Primario di psicologia dell'Ospedale Universitario dell'Aquila, Prof. Casacchia e il direttore sanitario di Presidio c/o l'Ospedale S. Salvatore all'Aquila.
L'incontro è avvenuto in un container, con reparti ospitati sotto tende presidiate dai militari.
Il Prof si è dichiarato disponibile a metterci in contatto con i medici di base delle tendopoli in quanto responsabili della gestione salute nei campi, ma non siamo più stati contattati. (Probabilmente quella situazione così difficile non ha agevolato un loro intervento a favore dei Fiori).
Abbiamo deciso allora di rivolgere la nostra proposta di aiuto direttamente ai Sindaci dei paesi colpiti.
Abbiamo spedito per raccomandata a tutti i Sindaci dei paesi colpiti, sia a quelli del cosiddetto cratere, l'epicentro del sisma, sia a quelli limitrofi, la proposta del nostro intervento con una documentazione relativa alla nostra associazione RIF Registro Italiano Floriterapeuti e il profilo del consulente in Essenze Floreali.
Ci hanno risposto 2 paesi: Castel del Monte e Poggio Picenze.
In particolare il Sindaco di Poggio Picenze si dichiarava molto interessato alla nostra proposta disostegno emotivo con rimedi floreali ai terremotati in quanto riteneva necessario per la sua popolazione questo tipo di intervento del quale non aveva potuto beneficiare, se non per pochissimi giorni immediatamente dopo il sisma grazie ad alcuni psicologi.
Nel mese di Agosto in questi due paesi, il nostro referente per l'Abruzzo, la dott.ssa Bucchicchio ha tenuto incontri di presentazione dei rimedi alla popolazione e distribuito le essenze Flourish e Rescue Remedy.

Il primo paese Castel del Monte è un paese turistico, ai piedi del Gran Sasso,colpito solo marginalmente dal sisma: qui le persone intervenute all'incontro, una ventina, tra cui anche turisti provenienti da Roma e Milano, non hanno richiesto ulteriori incontri.
L'incontro avvenuto nella sala del teatro comunale non era stato pubblicizzato dalla vicesindaco che eppure era apparsa entusiasta dell'iniziativa.
A Poggio Picenze, la situazione è stata molto diversa: è un paese vicino ad Onna, duramente colpito dal sisma, con crolli e vittime.
Dopo il primo incontro in cui sono stati distribuiti in particolare le miscele californiane FlourishGref Relief e Post Trauma Stabilizer, e Rescue Remedy come sostegno al post sisma.
Le persone intervenute hanno espresso la necessità di essere seguite con incontri individuali.
Gli incontri iniziati in ottobre con cadenza settimanale proseguono tutt'oggi.
A novembre 2010 è stato tenuto un corso base sull'utilizzo dei Fiori di Bach.
Le spese per queste iniziative sono state sostenute dal RIF Registro Italiano Floriterapeuti aiutato da alcune donazioni in essenze floreali, sia Bach che Florish del repertorio californiano (Natur), e sconti sui materiali per la preparazione dei rimedi (Dileo).
A fine marzo il RIF dovrà, per carenza di fondi, sospendere il proprio sostegno economico all'iniziativa, ma la dott.ssa Bucchicchio (farmacista, erborista e psicologa) continuerà il suo intervento con incontri e giornate dedicate alla ricerca e all'osservazione dei Fiori di Bach ch'è possibile trovare sulle montagne abruzzesi.
L'intervento in Abruzzo anche se numericamente piccolo, nonostante lo sforzo e l'impegno anche economico costato alla nostra associazione, ci sembra però estremamente significativo, in primo luogo per il sostegno che è riuscito a portare alle persone così tragicamente colpite e che non avevano ricevuto alcun sostegno emotivo ad eccezione di uno sporadico prestato da alcuni psicologi, ma anche per la diffusione data al pensiero di Bach e per il riconoscimento ufficiale che questi due Sindaci hanno dato alla nostra iniziativa".
A NATURE THAT DESTROYS AND THEN HELPS
My good friend Mario Furlan writes today on facebook:
"The tragedy of Japan proves it: we can lose everything in a moment.
But the thing is you never lose the courage to start over. If you lose that you lose everything."
As a therapist I can think about how we could help out with the means we have to those affected by the tsunami, so I propose again an article published last year, mostly to help that flower remedies led to victims of earthquake in Abruzzo of 2009 just to help them start over. Here it is:
On April 7, 2009, the day after the earthquake that struck Abruzzo, I received a text message to a fellow flower-therapist who said something like: "See those people who are suffering and know that they could be helped by flower remedies leads me to want to intervene. What can we do? ".
We decided to immediately contact our association, the Union of Flower Therapy in Milan and the Italian RIF register to ask how to act in case of disaster.
The board was promptly activated by contacting members living in central Italy and the distribution companies of Essences that have offered free formula suitable for floral relief, some of which were created for September 11th by FES from California.
It was not easy to intervene with flower therapy to help people affected trying not to disrupt the associations that lend their help and have passed a few months before they can act directly on the spot, but that small contribution that the flowers were able to bring it was extremely significant.
Here is the guide intervention in support of the people of Abruzzo earthquake prepared by RIF (Italian Register of flower-therapist):
"In the days immediately after the earthquake, thanks to the solicitation of some members, we sought a way to give official support to the people of Abruzzo emotionally affected by the earthquake.
We have contacted the Catholic and secular voluntary associations, the Civil Defense have sought contacts with politicians and private, with distributors and producers of flower essences.
In mid-July, our contact person for Abruzzo, Maria Nicoletta Bucchicchio, met with the Dean and Head of Psychology at the University Hospital of L'Aquila, Professor and Director Casacchia health Presidio c / o Ospedale S. Salvatore Aquila.
The meeting was held in a container with departments housed in tents policed by the military.
The Prof said he was willing to get in touch with the doctors of the tent camps as managers in the health fields, but we are not been contacted. (Probably so difficult that situation did not facilitate their intervention in favor of Flowers).
We decided to turn our proposal of direct aid to the mayors of the affected countries. We have sent by registered post to all the mayors of the affected countries, and to those the so-called crater, the epicenter of the quake, both in neighboring countries, the proposal of our intervention with documentation related to our association RIF Italian Registry flower-therapist and consultant in the profile of the Flower Essences.
They said two countries: Castel del Monte and Poggio Picenze.
In particular the Mayor of Poggio Picenze declared himself very interested in our proposal with flower remedies for emotional support to earthquake victims as it considered necessary for its people, this type of intervention which is not had been eligible, except for a few days immediately after the earthquake thanks to some psychologists.
In the month of August in these two countries, our contact person for Abruzzo Dr. Bucchicchio, held meetings for the presentation of the remedies to the population and distributed essences Flourish and Rescue Remedy.
The first country Castel del Monte is a tourist town at the foot of Gran Sasso, only marginally affected by the earthquake: here people attended the meeting, a dozen, including tourists from Rome and Milan, did not require further meetings.
The meeting took place in the hall of the Municipal Theatre was not advertised by the deputy mayor who had yet appeared enthusiastic about the initiative.
In Picenze Poggio the situation was very different: it is a village near Onna, hard hit by the earthquake, with collapse and victims.
After the first meeting in which they were distributed in particular mixtures California Flourish Gref Relief and Post Trauma Stabilizer, and Rescue Remedy as support for post-earthquake.
The people who took part expressed the need to be followed by individual meetings. The meetings began in October on a weekly basis continues today. In November 2010 he was taking a course on the use of Bach flower remedies.
The costs of these initiatives are been supported by the Italian Register RIF flower-therapist helped by some donations in flower essences, is that Bach's repertoire Florish California (Natur), and discounts on materials for the preparation of remedies (Dileo).
At the end of March, the RIF will have, for lack of funds, suspend its financial support to the initiative, but Dr. Bucchicchio (pharmacist, herbalist and a psychologist) will continue his involvement with meetings and conferences dedicated to research and observation of Bach flower remedies can be found which is in the mountains of Abruzzo.
Intervention in Abruzzo although numerically small, despite the effort and commitment including economic cost to our association, but it seems extremely important, primarily for the support that is could lead to people so tragically affected and who had not received any support except for an occasional emotional provided by psychologists, but also for the exposure given to the thought of Bach and the official recognition that the two unions have given to our initiative."
