Using Flower Essences

Flower essences to assist you on your spiritual journey

The most well-known flower essences currently are the Bach flower remedies.  Edward Bach, an English physician, and homeopath, originally created these dilutions of flower material in the 1930s.

The remedies are useful for

• emotional support
• spiritual growth
• easing symptoms of depression and anxiety
• insomnia, and stress.

How can we move stuck energy when we are in crisis, or focus upon energetic clearing work?

Essentially, if you are having a really bad day, consider trying flower essences to move you through more easily.

How are flower essences made?

There are 38 different Bach essences available.

They intentionally do not contain any traditional medicinal plants and their flowers contain no toxins.

Freshly picked flowers are floated in a bowl of pure water in sunlight.  As a result, a flower essence results.

Once the essence of the flowers has been diffused into the water, a preservative is added.  This can either be brandy, vodka. or vinegar.

Rescue Remedy, the most well-known of the Essences

This remedy can be used to alleviate symptoms of extreme stress.

It’s suitable for children and adults, and even dogs!  It can work wonders after a bad fall or scrape with children.  My dog finds it calming when we have thunderstorms here in Kansas.  (There is a version you can buy specifically for dogs).  It comes in a liquid form or in pastilles, too.

I have used Rescue Remedy to help my children release stress or to ease the first day of school nerves.

As someone who gives presentations to groups, I have always found the Bach Olive very useful too.   To prevent nervousness before a public-speaking event, Bach Olive will ground you and take the edge off.

If you are a mountain climber or hiker, you may already carry Rescue Remedy, originally formulated to help climbers when they get stuck or frozen on a climb!

What is in Rescue Remedy?

Flower essences are herbal infusions that are said to carry the vibrational energy and healing power of the infused flower.1 While each flower essence product is traditionally made with a single type of flower, Rescue Remedy is a special blend of five different wildflowers:

• Cherry plum
• Clematis
• Impatiens
• Rock rose
• Star-of-Bethlehem

   

It also contains alcohol as an inactive ingredient.  (ref: verwellmind.com).

Used by the stars!

From the Bach Flower website  Did you know…. that Jay McCarroll, the winner of the reality TV show Project Runway, used Rescue Remedy on the show’s grand finale?

Jennifer Anniston says it keeps her cool under pressure.

Cate Blanchett swears by it, and Salma Hayek has been a fan for years.  Martha Stewart uses Rescue Remedy and Rescue Sleep.

Van Morrison ordered Rescue Remedy before his performance in Texas, 2010 in order to help with stage fright.

If you are having a tough day – try Using a Flower Essence

Flower essences, especially Rescue Remedy, are great for emotional balancing and for that ‘difficult’ day.

You can put drops or spray straight into your mouth, or put some drops in water or juice, or your water bottle for the day, and take them that way.

Flower essence practitioners can use essences to assist you with specific issues.

I use the Range of Light kit from Flower Essence Services (FES) for face-to-face clients who are receiving energy balancing work, or feel they need some extra assistance with a shift in vibration.
