Our goal is to provide authentic healing formulas that stimulate the innate propensity for positive change.
THE FLOWER ESSENCE STORY
The art and science of using Flower Essences as complementary medicine seems to have been lost, or to have simply receded into the background, until Dr. Bach (1886-1936), a British physician, brought it back from obscurity.
What is the Origin of Bach Flower Essences?
Dr. Bach observed thirty-two different plants and discovered that their flowers had specific characteristics that correlated to similar emotional states. He also found that the dew on the flowers become impregnated with the plant’s healing properties. To reestablish what nature had shown him, Dr. Bach created a way to homeopathically reproduce this energetic dew by immersing freshly picked flowers in spring water and exposing them to sunlight.
What Exactly are Flower Essences? Flower Essences are herbal infusions that uniquely address emotional and mental aspects of wellness. They help restore us to a state of true balance in which our inborn life force is triggered. Life force is the real healer; the power of Flower Essences merely primes the pump. The positive qualities embodied in the essences resonate with our own innate qualities, in a wholly natural way.
The Power of Positivity
Flower Essences use vibrational imprinting of the remedy to bring balance and recognition of our innate happiness and inner harmony. They help us to break free from the challenging repetition of day-to-day emotional challenges.
A strong vibration influences a weaker one; a negative thought can be more powerful than a positive one, but the opposite is just as true. Since Flower Essences are living positive vibrations, they initiate a condition that elevates us in a positive way like an inspiring message or peaceful person who uplifts our spirit. Then, like a mirror, we reflect the presence we are exposed to.
A good example of the power of positivity is in the experiments of Dr. Masaru Emoto of Japan, who captured “expressions of water.” Dr. Emoto discovered that crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward them. He found that water from clear springs that had been exposed to loving words reveal brilliant, complex, and colorful snowflake patterns. In contrast, polluted water, or water exposed to negative thoughts, form incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with dull colors. The implication of this research creates a spectacular awareness of how we can positively impact not only the earth but our personal health and well-being.
Is There any Proof that They Work?
Flower Essence were originally discovered through a intuitive observation of the plants from which the essences are made. The qualities of the flowers correspond with specific human emotional patterns. These markers continue to be tested in clinical settings by health practitioners. Through ongoing observation and research, the healing properties of flower essences have been more fully documented and verified. This type of clinical study is called "empirical" research, which is research based on years of observation and experience. It is the primary method by which homeopathic remedies have been verified over the last two centuries.
Mind and Body Interaction
Modern physics has known for nearly a century that matter and consciousness are intertwined. To understand how Flower Essences work requires a recognition that human beings are more than a physical body; they also incorporate a life energy, sensitivity, feelings, and a spiritual essence or Self. Flower Essences interact with the body and mind and evoke responses within us. They work in a similar way that inspirational music or art carry meaning through the vehicle of sound or light, while Flower Essences work through the medium of water.
What Can I Expect from Flower Essence Therapy?
Flower essences work in a subtle manner and the results are unique to each individual. While the process varies from person to person, there is generally a recognition of clarity and relief during the course of treatment.
It is important to understand that Flower Essences address “present moment” issues. There will be times when remedies may not be needed since life is flowing along just fine. Alternatively, there may come a time when the same issue, or perhaps a new one, presents itself. The goal is to address each issue as it arises, layer by layer, until one's natural state of clarity and harmony is restored.
