What Are Flower Essences?
Flower essences are a natural, simple and totally safe method of healing. They are liquid extracts of flowers,
prepared in a homeopathic manner and are used to treat the emotional, mental and spiritual nature rather
than the physical body.

Flower essences are made by floating the freshly picked flowers of a selected plant or tree in a glass bowl of
pure water and left to sit in the  sunlight for several hours. Through the action of the sun and the process of
combination of the four elements, the healing 'essence' or etheric imprint of the flower is transferred into the
water.

The flowers are removed and this 'mother essence' is preserved with brandy, diluted to make the 'stock'
essence, and further diluted to make the dosage or medicine-strength 'remedy'.

Vibrational essences (often called flower essences or flower remedies) preserve the vital life force of a
substance for use in healing. An ancient form of health care, essences are used to prompt greater levels of
health and well-being in the user.

Though essences made from flowers are the best-known type, we like to call them "vibrational essences"
because they can be made from many other energies besides those of flowers. This includes other parts of
plants besides flowers (stems, leaves, roots, buds, the whole plant), minerals/gems, animals, energy of a
place (called "environmental" essences), light (star, moon, colored), healing energies (like Reiki).
Essences are usually in a liquid medium, generally water with a preservative like alcohol added. You may
also find them in an oil base, or an ointment or creme, though this is more unusual.

Do Flower Essences Differ From Essential Oils/Aromatherapy?
Yes! Essences are NOT the same as essential oils used in aromatherapy. Unlike essential oils, they are
unscented and unflavored. Through special preparation, essences contain only the energetic properties of
their parent substances.

How Do Flower Essences Work?
Essences don't give us something we don't already have. We like to think of them of them as reminding of us
of what we already know....connecting us to what we have always possessed, accentuating our innate
abilities. Often, this means fostering awareness of what is out of balance. It may mean the empowerment of
hidden strengths or gifts which create inventive solutions to our problems. Or our resident healing abilities
may become freed so they can do their miraculous work.

Flower essences work on subtle 'unseen' levels to gently re-establish balance and peace of mind within us.
The essences cover many negative  emotional and mental states that afflict humankind. They work by
infusing us with the positive qualities that we lack rather than by suppressing the disturbance. They help us
to release blockages which may be hindering growth and offer us opportunities to learn more about
ourselves. They help us to flow more with life, rather than fight against it.

The effects of the essences are enhanced when combined with a general healthy and positive approach to
living. Visualizing and affirming our healing can also be very helpful. Their effects will vary with each
individual. Sometimes we notice an immediate positive change in our condition and outlook. The problem
may not have disappeared, but we no longer feel swamped by it. Perspective is gained.

Sometimes there is a feeling of tension easing, of emotions coming to the surface. We may have a
realization about something and feel a sense of relief for we are no longer 'in the dark'. Sometimes we feel
no noticeable change, but almost unfailingly, when we look back some weeks or months later, we realize that
there has been a change, albeit a gradual change. We acknowledge that the problem has indeed faded or
even disappeared entirely.

Flower essences are most beneficial when used to prevent illness, to balance the psyche before imbalance
and disharmony goes so far as to produce a recognizable physical complaint .By using flower essences, it is
one more step we take in healing ourselves.

How is  A Flower Essence Testing Session Conducted?
During a Flower Essence Testing session, I work with you to determine the appropriate remedy through
dowsing, letting your body tell us exactly what essences are needed. The selected essence(s) are reviewed,
and a custom blend is created.
