Flower Essences

A flower essence is an infusion made from the flowering part of the plant that is then stabilized in water and brandy. It carries the vibrational imprint of the plant - its life force energy or chi.

Not to be confused with herbal tinctures which are concentrated plant-based preparations created to address physical issues, flower essences are very diluted (potentized) preparations whose unique properties allow them to work on our subtle bodies in a profound way while remaining absolutely safe. They have no scent except from the brandy preservative.

* How do they work? *

Each plant has a unique way of adapting to the world. Some must grow deep roots to find water, while others reach out laterally, intertwining with neighbors to brace against the elements. Some bloom only at night, others bloom once then hibernate for a long time, and still others adapt in creative ways to protect themselves from predators.

The unique harmonizing qualities of plants are available to us in flower essences. They help us by "retuning" our own energy fields when they become imbalanced, enabling us to call upon the strengths and qualities we need at any given time. In the process, our perceptions change as we release emotional, mental and spiritual blocks and turmoil, often bringing to consciousness the truth that lies beneath. Our responses and attitudes shift promoting harmony on all levels of our Being.

* How are they used? *

The most common way to take flower essences is orally, four drops four times a day from the convenient dropper bottle. The standard duration for a particular formula is four weeks but there are variables.

Because they are a vibrational remedy, essences are also effective when used externally - applied directly to the chakras or meridians or anywhere on the skin, added to the bath or misted in a room or on yourself.

* Who is a good candidate to take them? *

Flower essences are excellent choices for a wide range of people - from those who seek emotional peace, to those seeking insight and expanded self-awareness, to those who are going through a rough patch and want extra emotional support or all of the above.

Children are also very responsive to essences. They can sometimes act out or may suddenly withdraw and are not always able to express themselves to tell us what's bothering them. Flower essences can help them deal with whatever situation they're facing, whether it's bullies at school or the loss of a friend. Growing up isn't easy!

* How are your custom essences created? *

PJ is able to intuitively access the issues that are currently asking to be addressed and choose the correct combination of essences for your special formula. She then combines the essence or essences with distilled water (we distill our own) and brandy.

* What results can I expect? *

Clients who use the flower essences while in heightened emotional states such as extreme stress, overwhelm, fear or despair, often report feeling a sense of peace or relief at the first dose. Those with an especially strong connection to their inner being also have a heightened ability to feel their immediate impact. However, whether or not you feel them isn't at all relative to their effectiveness, or a negative commentary on you, if you don't. Essences reveal their gifts in stages, like a flower blooms. Once you are aware of how they work, you'll begin to see and feel their effects as things shift and change takes place.

Deep-seated issues will disappear in layers. Depending on the targeted issue, you may, for example, notice that your reactions to certain people change, improving the relationships, or that a problem that seemed insurmountable feels doable for no apparent reason. Or feelings of loneliness may dissipate as inner barriers melt and allow self-love to flow again, and suddenly your normally shy self walks up to a complete stranger to initiate a conversation. You may find yourself laughing at things that would have previously made you angry or afraid, or gravitating toward those more aligned with your truth and purpose.

Flower essences help us release self-defeating behaviors and thought patterns that block our flow and lower our vibration. When we begin to vibrate at a higher frequency, our interface with the world changes automatically. They are powerful tools that promote change in both our inner and outer worlds.

* Do essences affect the physical body?*

The physical and emotional bodies, though different, are inseparable. We know that our emotional state profoundly affects our physical bodies for better or worse. As energy blockages form in our auric bodies, we can bring them to consciousness and address them, dispersing the energy. If instead, we habitually continue the thoughts, emotional responses and behavioral patterns that created them, they gain strength and density, moving inward until they appear in their densest form, as physical symptoms. Flower essences help bring blockages or stagnation to consciousness so we can address them before they reach this stage.

Does that mean that if something has already manifested physically, it's too late? Absolutely not. Because of the symbiotic relationship between the emotional and physical bodies, making positive changes to one cannot help but affect the other. That said, logically, it takes a more concerted and time intense effort to dissipate energy once it reaches its densest physical form, but success stories abound. Flower essences, visualization, meditation, humor, talk therapy, aromatherapy, and many other tools and practices are powerfully effective accompaniments to the physical protocol you choose to follow, be it herbal, homeopathic, Eastern or Western in nature.

Hey, what about me?

Flower essences can help pets too, whether it's with welcoming a second pet or a new baby, moving to a new house, dealing with the loss of a friend or family member or overcoming abuse.

Sometimes the reason for a behavior change is not so obvious. An intuitive flower essence practitioner can shed light on the root cause of the problem and provide an essence program to address it.
