Flower Essences
Dr. Edward Bach’s book “Heal Thyself“ published in England in 1931, rapidly became, and still is, a bestseller. Dr. Bach’s theory about diseases and their causes opens a new way of approaching an old problem; how to cure an illness – not just the symptoms. Dr. Bach states in his book that “Disease is in essence the result of conflict between Soul and Mind, and will never be eradicated except by spiritual and mental effort.”
Dr. Bach discovered through experiments on himself that the dew from flowers could be a very potent remedy for solving mental/emotional stress related issues. The everyday issues we meet and react to in relation to our perception of a situation at hand is closely connected to our upbringing from early childhood. We can also label this behavior the “product of our personality”. Our personality is another name for our Inner Child, the part of ourselves which needs love and joy to flourish. When our Inner Child is happy, we are content and happy, and our life seem to flow with ease and nothing is impossible. Read more about the Inner Child.
The Vibrational Energy Force of flowers is very high, working mainly on the Etheric/Soul level of a being. Flower Essence is very useful not only for us humans, but also for the animals we have close to us (our Pets). The Flower Essence works in a very gentle way in order to assist us in releasing unwanted traits and habits.
Each flower contains a specific vibrational frequency which harmonizes with and amplifies a matching vibration within ourselves. By exposing a mental/emotional issue, we can tailor the Flower Essence formula to assist us in understanding and thereafter releasing the unwanted trait. It will assist us during transitional periods in life such as puberty, marriage, or other major adjustments that we may be facing. Flower Essence also helps us to resolve issues such as anger, fear and emotional traumas of different severity.
We are all affected by outside negativity from our environment as well as internal negativity from our conscious and unconscious emotions: it is imperative that we clean out these energies which are not for our highest good. Our physical body is a very special instrument – it is actually an indicator of our mental/emotional health. If we are under stress (which comes from fear of not being good enough, for example), we will eventually create a sickness (e.g.; heart problems). This is our body’s way of saying “stop – rethink how you are spending your precious life.” Therefore it is imperative to nurture the whole self. The positive life changes which we receive through the awareness that Flower Essence offers us will help us to keep healthy on all levels of our being.
Flower Essence is a non-intrusive form of therapy. If the “wrong” formula is given, nothing will happen. When a formula is created specifically for someone, the full range of mental/emotional issues help determine the combination of flowers selected. Each flower essence addresses specific issues such as fear, depression, self-esteem and anger. There are, of course, many other issues that are addressed as well, but the four mentioned are very common. By this careful combination of the right flowers in a formula, it is possible to “lift up” positive emotions and/or thought patterns for understanding and to heal (“discard”) unwanted behavior traits, thereby eliminating situations of conflict in our lives.
Flower Essence works gently on our Inner Child, allowing us to be more true, honest and playful in our approach to life. It helps us to resolve deep inner conflicts that have been established from the time we were inside our mother’s womb, when we got accustomed to the voices and sounds of our future surroundings. From that time we remember the feelings of our mother’s emotions and actions as well as her day-to-day life, and how we reacted to those situations. These feelings, which are the most difficult to describe, are the feelings from our Inner Child. If there is also abuse of any sort involved, there will be an ocean of emotions to resolve and heal. The gentle effects of Flower Essence is extremely useful in this aspect.
Flower Essence is a homeopathic remedy and will not interfere with conventional medicine.
