What are flower essences?

This is a nice - complicated and wordy - definition from the Flower Essence Society, but what does that mean exactly?

Flower essence remedies carry the vibrational energy of the plant material they were made from and therefore the healing energies of that plant. Quantum physics would explain this much better than we can. All we can say is that they work and they are safe!

Flower Essences are designed to help transform your emotions, attitudes or patterns of behavior which get in the way of your full development or potential. They are not a cure-all or a magic pill. They are a health tool which work best as part of a complete holistic program which should include: exercise, a nourishing diet, stress reduction and continuing inner development.

Flower Essences are used by thousands of people all over the world. Flower essences work at very fundamental - basic - levels, yet there are non-invasive as well as non toxic. They can be used at the same time as with other health therapies. The uses of these essences actually enhance other practices by addressing psycho-spiritual issues which may be underlying various health problems. After all, science has shown that as much as 95% of our disease may have a psycho-somatic - emotional - component.

How Are Flower Essences Used?

Flower Essences are most commonly taken orally from a dropper bottle directly under the tongue, or in a little water. They are also very effective when absorbed through the skin in baths or topical applications - creams and lotions.

FROM FLOWER TO YOU... there are several levels of dilution in the preparation of flower essences. The mother essence is derived from fresh blossoms in a bowl of water, infused with the morning sun - or even heated by fire as some of the English essences. The mother essence is generally preserved with brandy. This infusion is then further diluted to the "stock" level and sometimes again to a "dosage" level. This process is similar to homeopathic remedies. Generally, it is the stock level of dilution which is available commercially from flower essence companies, though, there are some pre-mixed combinations sold at the dosage level of dilution.

What Will I Experience When Taking Flower Essence Remedies?

Like some people, you may report immediate, discernible and very dramatic results. Then again you may notice no differences at all, and may only slightly perceive shifts in your well-being and in mental-emotional states after only after a very long period of time. Most people typically respond somewhere in the middle of this range.

You will be more apt to observe the effect of flower essences over a period of time. You will notice small changes in the ways you act, in the way you view yourself - or others - or even changes in your sense of physical well-being.

How does this happen, you may ask? Well, flower essences deepen your inner contact with yourself so that you are more in touch with your feelings, your underlying attitudes and even your spiritual self which ultimately empowers you to make real and meaningful changes in your life.

The flower essences leave you free to respond according to your inner rhythms and needs. This is the reason they are so safe and yet so effective!!

Flower Essences Information

Flower Essences are considered soul remedies so they should not be used in the same way as pharmaceutical drugs - or even herbal remedies. Each essence needs to be chosen according to your unique issues and experiences - persons displaying the same physical symptoms may have very different emotional patterns and life issues.

Medical practitioners have reported many cases in which flower essences play a key role in treatment programs for various diseases. A growing body of research in the field of psychoneuroimmunology continues to demonstrate a clear inter-relationship between physical illness and emotional-mental outlook.

In general, flower essences are among the safest, most self-regulating health remedies available. Just know that if you take too many flower essences, or essences which only address minor issues, they may be ineffective; substantive changes will not be achieved, or will take much longer to occur. Sometimes inappropriate or chaotic essence selections will stimulate confusion or a sense of uneasiness.

On occasion, rapid psychological transformation - or our resistance to it - can produce unpleasant physical sensations such as fatigue, skin rashes or headache. Although, they are generally short lived this may be an indication to re-formulate your essence combination - or to work with a counselor or other practice to help remove the issues you may be facing.

A common experience reported by people using flower essences is an intensification of certain traits just before experiencing a transformation. This is caused by bringing unconscious emotions and attitudes to the surface of awareness... and with awareness comes the ability to understand and to change. It is difficult to let go if you are unaware or in denial of having certain emotions.

Some important considerations you should think of in making a wise selection include:

The Flower Essence Society offers "Choosing Flower Essence" which is offered to you as a means for healing and self discovery.

So in conclusion what are flower essences? As you can see they are wonderful, safe way to heal and grow and to benefit from vibrant health of body, soul and spirit...even while pregnant and breastfeeding.
