Update for USA Customers

Today I received an email from Australia Post updating me on a “workaround” they are using to resume postage to the USA. In case you don’t know, the trickle-down effect of the “trump tariffs” adversely affected postage services. Raising postage rates to sky-high levels.

It seems now that Australia post has worked out a way to send mail to the USA.

Rather than “flip flopping” on policy and changing my mind every time the wind changes, I’ve made the decision to halt postage of physical products to the United States for the rest of the year and will review this policy in the new year, 2026.

We will resume postage to the USA when concrete changes in trade policy have occurred. For now I am sticking with my original decision and will revise it again in a few months, in the new year when things have settled.

USA customers may be able to obtain our products through Equilibrium bookshop here in Australia, but as they are undergoing a change in management after 40 years, there may be delays through that avenue.

To offset the lack of physical product to the USA, I am thinking of “deeply discounted” online services such as spiritual readings by Zoom for customers in the USA.

I am sorry for the bad news but I am not prepared to surrender my authority to a third party to dictate and govern my decision making. The tariffs and their second order and third order ramifications ( domino effects ) have yet to fully be realized.

As I am managing a botanical research project and sell products to fund that research, the product side of things takes a back seat to the work I am doing. I am not prepared to enter into an emotional “on again, off again” style of thinking no matter how much of a financial loss it causes. I am building for the future, not just selling products in the now.

To the people of the United States, my thoughts and prayers are with you. And I should soon be announcing a few new services to directly deal with the problems you have in the absence of the flower remedies to help you work through them.

Clinical Flower Therapy is closely related to the ( proper ) practice of meditation.

The disruption of postal services highlights a spiritual truth when using flower ( or other ) remedies. The most important part is the inner, mental preparation… and the flower remedies are used to secondarily, to support that process.

This whole event has prompted me to expedite some of the book on Clinical Flower Therapy and the early chapter on developing the correct attitude to the practice. It is a mistake to think that “you take drops and they do all the work”. There is mental and internal preparations to make before taking a course of drops. A pre-cleansing process.

Now is the perfect time to teach those disciplines, so I will weave this into my writing schedule for our US customers. Currently, I am working on the “Spiritual Development for 2026” box set, expansion kits and training programs. The programs will have instructions when using and also not taking flower drops.

The disruption to postage acts as a reminder to design programs that are for a general audience. And cater to people who seek help with the Issues and opportunities in the year ahead.

Stay tuned for more details.
