"From the earliest times in history, we find that herbs have been used as healing remedies, and as far back as records go, man has had the faith that in the herbs of the meadow and valley and hillside lay the power to cure his illnesses."
- Dr. Edward Bach

The Essences

What are Flower Essences?

  • The essence of a plant is an innate intelligence that instructs the survival of the plant. The gesture of the plant is a reflection of this energetic quality.
  • Flower essences are energetic formulas made from the blooms of healing plants. A flower essence is an energetic imprint of the electromagnetic pattern of the vital life force energy of the plant.
  • Flower Essence Therapy is the transference of the electromagnetic patterns from the plants to those who seek healing.

How to Make a Flower Essence

The Mother Tincture
To make a flower essence, flower blooms are placed in a crystal bowl of spring water, which is placed in the sun for 4-5 hours. The sun's heat melds the energetic qualities of the plant into the water, which is then preserved with brandy to make the mother tincture. For spring flowering trees and shrubs, the blooms are placed in boiling water for the same effect.

Principles of Energy Medicine and How Flower Essences Work

  • E=MC2
  • Energy and matter are interchangeable.
  • All matter is energy in vibration.
  • Your body, thoughts and emotions are energy in vibration.
  • We respond emotionally to life experiences.
  • Emotional reactions create thought patterns.
  • Thoughts and emotions create your truths and reality.
  • Your molecular structure responds to your reality.
  • Thoughts and emotions create hardwired neural networks.
  • Your physiology is a result of neural activity.
  • Energy medicine releases old thought and emotional patterns and initiates
    development of new neural networks, behaviors and physiology.
  • Flower essences are energy medicine.
Flower essences act as gentle reminders to guide us in our unfolding, developing our own essence along the way!

Flower essences work by the Law of Resonance

Life experience is the drop into the stillness of our waters. The ripple of the experience can resonate within us for years. Flower essences introduce the resonance of the still lake. All systems in nature seek homeostasis. Our energetic system recognizes the state of balance and aligns with it of it's own accord.

Energy medicine rewires our electrical circuitry, encourages change in our lives through release of mental attitudes and emotional reactions, recognition of limiting beliefs and reawakens our Soul connection.
