The action of the flower essence raises the vibration of the being…they cure by flooding the body with the beautiful vibrations of the highest nature- in whose presence there is the opportunity for disease to melt away like snow in sunshine. Dr. Edward Bach
Why am I so interested in flowers? I feel they speak to me (us) in subtle and intuitive ways. There is such a mystery there but also much help if we can unwrap it~
My all-time favorite flower has been Iris. (I’ll share my spiritual journey with Iris in a later article.) The periwinkle-blue color is spectacular, and I used to pick them out of my mother’s flower beds (much to her dismay). She told me we could enjoy them longer if they stayed in the plant and not in the house. Yes, she was right.
What Are Flower Essences?
Looking at a medicinal plant, you can see the different parts used in various ways. Sometimes the roots are medicinal. Or sometimes the leaves and stems have healing properties.
Though when we look at the flower of any given plant, it is clear that it is often the most vibrant, attractive and spectacular part of the plant itself. It is the quintessential expression of that plant. Wouldn’t it then only make sense that this part of the plant offers us the most medicinal/healing properties of that plant?
To make a flower essence, flower pedals are gently plucked (with leaves preferably) and placed in a glass or crystal bowl that is filled with the cleanest water possible. With the help of the Sun’s rays, the bioelectrical field of the flower (and yes, bioelectrical fields have been shown to exist around every living thing in nature via Kirlian photography) is imprinted into the crystalline structure of the water molecule. Remember, it is also an established fact that water has memory and can be imprinted through various methods.
How To Make Flower Essences really easy!
So, what occurs is the imprinting of the quintessential vibrational field of the flower into water. The highest vibrational output of the plant is encoded into the water molecules. You could also think of it as the consciousness or literally, light codes of information from the plant being infused into the medium of water.
What Are the Effects?
Because the essences of flowers operate more on a vibrational/electrical level rather than a biochemical (like the use of herbs or foods) the effects are felt in a more subtle way.
However, subtle doesn’t mean it isn’t powerful or effective. What a person experiences are more of a shift in awareness, a shift in understanding or a shift in consciousness around a certain situation. It can help us understand and transform the underlying emotional issue.
For example, if someone is dealing with an issue from some sort of trauma from a situation that occurred at some point in his or her life, flower essences can help bring greater understanding to the trauma event as well as bring the emotional ability to transform, release and forgive or accept what happened.
Flower essences are essentially nutrients for the soul. They help us on an emotional level. We begin to see things in a new light and can begin to deal with things in a new way. This leads to taking different actions in regard to processing and resolving any issues we might be working through. They let us work through things in a truly holistic and therapeutic manner.
This also works to help physical diseases or issues as it is commonly known in holistic and natural medicine that every physical health issue has an emotional issue below the surface that has created this physical issue. So as we heal ourselves emotionally, we can begin to heal ourselves on a physical level. “As within, so without.”
