Grace Flower Essences - Frequenty Asked Questions

By Moses Siregar III

This will not be a thorough resource for all the common flower essence questions, but of the most common ones that we have been asked. To answer any questions not listed below, try the FES or Master's FAQ through our Other Lines page.

There's a page called, "What are flower essences?" Another great GFE resource is Flower Essence Analogies. The analogies can help you understand the special nature of flower essences.

How do I take my flower essences?

Most people take essences orally, with drops under the tongue, or by sipping/drinking water to which essences have been added. They can also be added to a bath, or sprayed over a person or an area with a spray bottle.

Often 3-6 drops are suggested, but one drop is really just as good, because with essences, the frequency of dosages, rather than the quantity of liquid imbibed, is what matters. In other words, you get more out of an essence by taking it more often and for a longer period of time. Taking one drop of an essence or drinking a gallon of an essence, is the same thing. Frequency matters, not volume. See 'Ringing the Bell' in Flower Essence Analogies, for further explanation of this flower essence property.

It's a good idea to shake the essence before taking it.

It's usually recommended that the best results come from taking an essence at least thirty minutes before and after eating. Water is of course fine. Fruits and fruit juice are also okay, as is alcohol, since this is what most essences are based in. One need not be at all strict about the waiting time, though.

Taking an essence just before going to sleep or just after waking up is also a great time to take the essence.

It's always a good idea to slow down before taking an essence to receive it deeply.

How many times a day should I take my flower essences?

Two to four times a day is a good, conservative answer. My most general answer would be four times a day. But there may be reasons to take your formula more or less than that.

The main reason one would want to take an essence formula less often is if your experience with it feels challenging, and in that case you would want to take it just once a day. If once a day is still too challenging, then you would definitely be better off with a different formula.

Essence formulas with gemstones are often very powerful. For example, the Chakra formulas from Grace Flower Essences are often ones that are very powerful because of their gemstone ingredients. In particular, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th chakra formulas should be taken cautiously, since it seems that most of us have major issues in these areas. I always advise people to monitor their experience with these essences, and if they feel too strong, to ask for a more simple essence formula, which I would send them for free. Essences can bring issues to the surface, particularly if your formula addresses major life issues, and there is no reason to rush anything with flower essences.

If one feels comfortable with one's essence, one might want to take an essence quite often. The more frequently one takes an essence, the more quickly one will assimilate the experience its essence. But again, there's no reason to rush anything, and taking an essence quite often might bring unnecessary intensity to one's experience.

Is there anything that hurts or hinders flower essences?

The main things that disrupt flower essences would be:

Having the bottle in unnecessary heat. Don't leave a bottle in the sunlight or in very hot places. If you accidentally do, they will still be fine. Just don't leave them in that condition for a very long time.
Having the essences around unnecessary electricity and magnetic fields. Don't leave them in front of the T.V., on the stereo, by a wall socket, etc. Again, these things will not destroy an essence, but use a little caution.
Putting the essences through the x-ray machines at the airport. Just explain that they are a sensitive, vibrational medicine, you can avoid the x-ray.

Don't worry about coffee, mint, etc. In general, the healthier one is, the more effective the essences will be. But don't worry about that. Just start where you are.

P.S. If you really want to quit coffee or sugar effortlessly, try FES's Morning Glory essence, or GFE's Healthy Bottle

How do I refill my bottle?

You can refill your essence formula without needing to add the original essences. Just add approximately 2 parts of pure water and 1 part vodka (or another hard alcohol), or 1 part pure water and 1 part apple cider vinegar, shake up your bottle, and you will have the same essence that you started with. You can do this at any point. You can do this when your bottle is 90% full, or when your bottle is 10% full; it makes no difference. The liquid holds a vibrational pattern. It does not hold any amount of physical substance from flowers. It holds their energy pattern. So, like a hologram, a little piece can recreate the whole. Flower essences operate under a different and more advanced paradigm than what we are used to.
