Healing Modality: Flower Essences
Flower essences are liquid formulas that capture the vibrational imprint of flowers. Each essence holds powerfully medicinal qualities of the flowers. They are also known as flower remedies and flower therapy.
Flower essences are a great ally to holistic healing because they address imbalances at the emotional level, which is usually where the root cause of many illnesses stem from. You can use flower essences to provide equilibrium to any imbalances you experience.
Using Flower Essences As A Ritual
Although the impact can be complex and powerful, taking flower essences is quite simple! You can take it directly from a dosage or stock bottle or add in no more than four drops to your beverage of choice throughout the day up to four times a day.
Options For Purchasing Flower Essences
There are many apothecaries and companies that produce flower essences for both practitioners and the general public!
Brands I recommend are:
Determining Which Flower Essence To Work With
Ultimately, working with a flower essence practitioner will be the most objective and recommended route. A practitioner can help select the most appropriate essences for you because they are on the “outside looking in” whereas if you determined using your own thoughts or a friend’s, the logic may be more subjective.
Additionally you can try these methods:
Praying and asking your spirit team to be shown which flower essence you should work with at this moment
Doing research on which flowers address the qualities you know you want to work on
Using your natal chart to illuminate a group of flowers that pair well with your big three (sun, moon and rising signs)
My personal experience has been that the flowers, similar to many other plant allies, will present themselves to you when they want to work with you.
How Flower Essences Are Incorporated Into My Healing Offerings
Flower essences as a major component of my botanical healing ceremonies. They are used to build the flower offering as well as when I do energy work with clients.
Essences are uniquely selected for each ceremony by way of guidance and intuition from the spirit and dream realm. I often am given a vision in waking life or in dreams about which flowers to use for each ceremony. The spirit guides never steer me wrong when they tell me which flowers to use!
Additionally, client history and their intentions for the ceremony are highly prioritized in this decision making process.
Lastly, the selection is influenced by my knowledge of the essences in my collection.
