For example, a 50-year-old man used this formula for over a year to help him transition from his career as a firefighter to a new profession as a bodyworker and therapist. He identified Fawn Lily as an especially important part of the formula because his father had discouraged him as an adolescent from anything “touchy-feely” believing it was not a “manly” profession. He felt that this more inward feminine part of him had remained frozen and locked up until he began to use the Grace Formula. He commented, “I felt that I had become a block of stone with no feelings, except hardness. After I used Grace for several months, I felt that my heart became a river of flowing and feeling…”
The Grace Formulais also used widely in many healing centers for women in recovery from domestic violence, sexual slavery and abuse. For example, Dr. Natalia Fernández coordinates the Women’s Shelter program for the National Institute for Women of Costa Rica. She reports that Grace is the foundational formula to help women recover their sense of dignity and integrity, giving them the courage to affirm and act upon their core feminine identity in spite of prior trauma and degradation. The Fawn Lily in the Grace Formulahelps her clients to step out into the world again and take new risks, when otherwise they would retreat or hide and continue to be confined by their psychic trauma.
