GFE - What are Flower Essences?

By Moses Siregar III

Flower essences are amazing. They are not based on scent. They are not aromatherapy. They are not essential oils. You may have heard of the Bach Flower Remedies or Rescue Remedy (from Bach Flower Remedies)? The Bach Flower Remedies, coming out of England in the 1930's, familiarized the modern world with the science of flower remedies, and sparked a huge and constantly expanding interest in the amazing healing and awakening power of flower essences.

No matter what I say about flower essences, because they are so unique, no words will be able to convey what one experience would convey. I was skeptical the first time I tried flower essences, but my skepticism quickly evaporated. I was amazed at the ease with which I made drastic and positive changes on various mental, emotional, or spiritual levels.

Flower essences are an example of a living, new paradigm. Flower essences operate under vastly different 'rules' than the rules that a materialistic age is used to.

Homeopathy is a good example of this paradigm shift. In homeopathy, the tiniest, most diluted amount of a substance is used to heal. Homeopathy, like flower essences, takes advantage of an advanced principle: Less is More.

While flower essences do not specifically work by being extremely diluted, they do rely on subtle essences (this essence is usually obtained by placing a flower in pure water, and allowing them to be in sunlight--other things can also be done to insure the highest vibrational purity). To me, flower essences work with the soul or spiritual power of nature to heal the soul or spiritual dimension of humanity. Although this effect is on our subtle, rather than our dense, bodies, the effects on our inner self translate to a holistic shift that effects all aspects of our lives.

Again, these words will probably not mean much to you if you have never worked directly with a flower essence. When it comes to flower essences, one personal experience will explain how they work much more than will a thousand words.

After exploring all of the possible avenues to health and well-being that I possibly can in this life, I have found that flower essences are my very favorite healing modality because they are so easy to work with, so incredibly powerful, and yet also so gentle. All it takes to reap their tremendous benefits is a little patience: a willingness to put some liquid drops under one’s tongue at least once a day for a number of weeks or months. I have found the reward for doing this to be truly amazing.
