Flower essence magic & healing

I started working with flower essences many years ago. My sensitive soul has always had a hard time in large groups of people, feeling everyone's energy all at once sometimes made me feel dizzy as a child. My Dad started giving me Bach flower remedies when I was about 8/9 and then I remember him increasing them when I went through a good bout of bullying in my teen years.

In 2019 when I proclaimed to the internet that I was once again going through depression, a friend who is trained in Bach flower therapy offered to share with me a custom essence blend. I used it regularly and it ended up being the medicine I needed most at that time. That nurturing force of flowers supporting me every day became my most favourite ritual, and I believe it made a big difference for me in choosing a path that felt truly aligned and inspired by my soul. Shortly after that, I left the profession I was in for good, choosing myself for the first time in my life.

In 2020 when I returned to the magic and mysteries of plant medicine, I felt a strong pull towards to the flower essences. I honestly wasn't even 100% sure what flower essences were though, so I took a course on them from Asia Suler of One Willow Apothecaries.

That course changed my life in the BEST way. I started making my own flower essences and creating them for people in my community. I sold more flower essences to date than I have of any other medicine... this is no surprise to me as this form of healing is something I believe we can all greatly benefit from.

What is a flower essence?

Flower essences are subtle, vibrational, botanical healing medicines made with liquid and fresh flower blossoms of plants. The power and application of flower essences is a practice that is said to have been used since the time of the ancient Egyptians. As we know them today though, their use and practice has been make greatly popular by a man name Dr. Edward Bach.

Flower essences are a form of energetic/vibrational healing. They are made through the use of light and water and they capture the energetic imprint of flowers into the liquid. They are then preserved and applied in a similar fashion to that of reiki, homeopathy, acupuncture, colour therapy, therapeutic touch and so on.

Why do people use flower essences?

There is a whole range of reasons that flower essences would be integrated into a healing practice, but the most prominent reason overall continues to be for emotional wellbeing and empowerment.

Some people might take flower essences for anxiety, pain, sadness, hopelessness, fear, personal power, love, energetic harmony, confidence and more.

I personally find them to be one of the most nurturing medicines for emotional healing as they work so well for the highly sensitive souls.

How do you use flower essences?

Flower essences are typically taken orally from a dropper bottle, with the standard dosage being 2-4 drops up to 4 times per day. You can also mix them into your water bottle for all day healing through your water, adding them to your mister bottles, putting them into your face creams, adding them to your bath water and more.

I generally take flowers essences directly from the dropper bottle and my second favourite way of using them is in the bath as a lovely ritual or ceremony for specific occasions or emotional needs.

How do I choose a flower essence? Where can I learn to make them? I have so many questions!

That's GREAT, I have a course that you would likely be interested in then... Check out The Medicine of Flowers.

I hope to see you in that course!
