Flower ESsences
WHAT are Flower ESsences?
Flower Essence, also known as Flower Remedies, Flower Elixirs, or Vibrational Essence/Remedy, are dilute solutions containing the energetic essence/imprint/pattern of a plant’s flower.
They are typically made by infusing the flowering part of the plant in water (spring water), capturing the healing life force of plant, and preserved with alcohol (brandy).
There is no physical part of the flower in a flower essence, only the healing vibrational energy. Each flower has its own unique properties.
Their healing vibrational energy can be used to interface with our own subtle energy bodies and centers to realign our emotional, mental, and spiritual selves.
“Across cultures, flowers universally represent the blossoming of the spirit. If you want to blossom into your greatest potential in a radically beautiful way, mimic a flower by taking its’ essence.”
Flower Essence Consultations
A Flower Essence consultation lasts up to 60 minutes in length. It involves a discussion of the purpose of your visit as well as any concerns or goals you may have, including delving into your emotional and spiritual well-being.
After the consultation, a custom flower essence medicine water will be created for you and can be picked up (or shipped) in a couple of days. The medicine water comes in a 15ml size and will last approximately 1-6 months depending on the purpose and how often it is taken. The cost of the medicine water is included in the consultation price.
After making your first appointment, a flower essence client intake-form will be sent to you via e-mail. Please fill this out and send it back prior to your appointment.
“In keeping with herbalism’s ancient tradition of communing with the plant kingdom, flower essences have evolved as a natural expression of healing—in the simplest ways, through the simplest means.”
Working with Flower ESsences
Flower Essences can help to support the following:
Emotional balancing
Unwinding learned beliefs (especially effective used alongside counselling and EFT)
Early life / old trauma
Spiritual / Shadow work
Past life / Ancestral trauma
Heart ache / grief
Highly sensitive individuals
Physical ailments that are unresponsive to other treatments – hinting at an underlying emotional or energetic condition
Flower essences can show results quite quickly, or they can take time. It all depends on the person, the concern being addressed, and if additional modalities are being used. Some people can notice changes within hours, other people it may take 3-28 days to notice a shift. It is important to note that shifts can be subtle (yet profound).
When working with a longer-term concerns such as a learned behaviour/belief, it can be helpful to keep a journal of the changes in feelings and mental state. These changes can often be subtle and hard to see day to day.
Flower essences work best when combined with other self-care / inner work practices such as meditation, journaling, mantras, EFT tapping, counselling, etc. Flower essences help to enhance these practices by creating the inner space to be able to see or look at things differently.
Disclaimer: Flower essences are an energetic/vibrational healing tool and should not be used as a replacement for proper medical care.
“Flower essences allow us to see into the soul of things—into ourselves, our world, and all living beings.”
FAQ about Flower ESsences
Do Flower Essences have a scent?:
Flower Essences have no scent, they are a vibrational, non-aromatic solution.
How do I use a Flower Essence?:
Flower essences can be taken as a couple of drops (usually 3 or 5) either under the tongue 1-3 times per day, or in a glass of water sipped throughout the day. Flower essences have also been used in tincture formulas, the bath, a diffuser and/or room spray (although they have no scent), and in yoni steams. If you have had a consultation, your practitioner will give you directions on how to use your particular flower essence. Keep in mind that one of the key principles of using flower essences is the frequency of use rather than the quantity.
How do Flower Essences work?:
It is believed that the electromagnetic energy, or consciousness of the flower is imprinted in water using the electromagnetic energy or frequency of the sun. And when we take this internally, it interfaces with the electromagnetic or frequency of our bodies, balancing our energy fields and energy centers.
What is a Medicine Water (Dosage Bottle)?:
A Medicine Water (Dosage Bottle) is the third and final stage of making a flower essence. It is what a Practitioner gives to their clients and is intended to be taken for a short length of time (a couple of months). It cannot be purchased in a retail store and can be made up of a single essence, or a combination of essences based on the needs of the client.
“Water has been shown to have a sort of memory in the way that its component molecules arrange themselves. It is able to retain a record or imprint of the substances and electromagnetic fields with which it comes into contact. Some proponents of flower essence therapy, myself among them, believe that this is how essences are made: a strong source of electromagnetic energy, such as sunlight, helps the water to retain the imprint of the flowers or other substance to which it is exposed. When taken internally or otherwise used, essences transmit this electromagnetic message to our physical and spiritual bodies, thereby catalyzing the healing process through electromagnetic entertainment.”
