What they Do . . .
A gentle yet powerful healing modality, flower essences facilitate healing at the soul level, transforming emotions, patterns and energies that interfere with our personal and spiritual growth and well-being. They can have a supportive energy during stressful, or challenging, times; serve as catalysts for change, growth or healing; or facilitate awareness of underlying mental, emotional or spiritual issues that need to be addressed as part of the healing process.
Developed in their modern form in the 1930’s by Dr. Edward Bach, a British physician, flower essences have been used successfully to facilitate healing and personal growth for over seventy years. Many people have found them useful for facilitating and supporting the healing process; for personal and spiritual growth and development; grounding; focus; concentration; stress relief; clarity and life direction; psychic opening and development; healing from trauma, abuse and neglect; and so much more.
Unlike herbal extracts and aromatherapy, flower essences are entirely energetic in nature. They have no fragrance, and they exert their effect through one’s energy field rather than through the physical body itself.
How They Work . . .
Everything in the universe has its own unique energy vibration, or pattern. Flower essences are created by harnessing the energy patterns, or vibrations, from selected plants and flowers and imprinting them upon a liquid. The liquid then holds the energy pattern until it is needed, much like a battery stores an electrical charge. When taken into one's energy system, the essence then resonates with, or activates, the corresponding aspect of one's energy field that is out of balance, and helps restore balance to the system, thereby addressing issues and patterns of imbalance at the core level of one's being.
A valuable healing tool in their own right, flower essences can be even more effective when they are used in conjunction with energy work, affirmations, counseling with a qualified therapist, or self-awareness techniques and practices such as meditation and journal writing.
Use and Selection . . .
Flower essences are selected by matching soul qualities or states of imbalance within the individual, with the qualities, or attributes, of a particular essence. It is best to limit the number of essences used at one time to 1-5 and to focus on one or two key areas that best fit your current situation and goals.
An essence, or a combination of essences, is typically used for three to four weeks. At that time the situation is reassessed. In some cases, the same essence, or combination of essences, is repeated for another cycle. In others, new essences are selected as new issues and insights come to the surface as shifts occur within the individual. The essences are most commonly used orally, 2-3 drops directly into the mouth or into a beverage. They may also be applied topically to the skin. Suggested use is typically 2-3 drops, 2-3 times per day or as needed.
