ON THE SUBTLE MAGIC OF FLOWER ESSENCES
A flower essence is the vibrational or energetic facet of a plant, captured and preserved in a liquid extract, made in direct communication with the flower of a plant. Just like any relationship based in mutual respect, kindness and consent, making flower essences starts with loosening up on expectations enough to focus in, pay attention, observe, ask questions, and truly listen to what’s being expressed.
Much like each of us, each flower has its own personality and teaching; by simply being itself, radiating its truth, and sharing its unique magic, it awakens hidden or blocked layers of our consciousness and sparks powerful shifts toward more awareness, equilibrium, and healing.
Flower essences help us to to understand and address deep-seeded emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual imbalances in a wonderfully meaningful and gentle way. When we use flower essences as medicine allies, there is a sacred interaction that takes place, the flower shares its message and learning with our soul. Like meeting a dear friend, the flower essence shows up without judgment, and lovingly embraces us exactly where we’re at.
I like to think about flower essences skipping past the human intellect and communicating directly with our own inner essence. When I say “inner essence”, I’m talking about the part of each of us that is not uneasy or confused with the unfolding of life, the part that trusts in the process of things, the part that embraces wholeness and honors the beautiful mystery of the unknown. Flower essences allow us to become more well acquainted with the essence of our being. When we lead from this deep inner truth, we begin to relate to ourselves and the world in a wholly distinct way, beautiful transformation becomes possible and we feel more settled within ourselves.
You may notice effects quickly, but this medicine works its deepest magic in frequent small doses over a period of time. Because flower essences are highly diluted and focus on vibrational aspects of the plant instead of chemical constituents, it is not necessary to take large amounts, just a couple of drops will do. In fact, it is said that flower essences work their deepest magic in a highly diluted form because it allows the medicine to infuse into the smallest cells and the deepest corners of your being to allow for profound shifts toward more wholeness.
Flower essences are a gentle homecoming for your soul <3
