Emotional Healing with Flower Essences

Flower essences are subtle liquid extracts which are used to address profound issues of emotional well-being, soul development, and mind-body health. The healing properties of flowers have been used in many ancient medicines, but the precise application for specific emotions and attitudes were first developed in the 1930's by Dr Edward Bach. Today, flower essences are gaining worldwide recognition for their significant to holistic health and wellness programs.

For me, it's important to understand the energetics of flower essences and how they harmonize our body. Every single flower on the planet carries its own unique energetic properties. These properties are a divine gift to all of us, and can support our body in returning to the vibrations of nature and enhance the alchemical healing process.

Flower essences are fairly easy to make, but powerful in their healing capacity. This magical medicine is made by placing the flowers in spring water and setting it in the sun for a few hours to infuse the vibrations into the water. The infusion then gets mixed with brandy in order to preserve the essence. This is the "mother" essence to be further diluted for use. You can make smaller stock bottles, sprays, or blended elixirs and more.

I have seen a very specific awakening journey that takes place as a woman opens her eyes to our ability to heal, and begins to separate herself from the hands of modern medicine.

First it is a delicate step towards alternatives. She feels there is something more, and often not right about modern medical procedures, yet she is still attached to the ideology of allopathy and cannot just jump out of the pool all together.

She usually begins with essential oils because that is a pretty simple way to incorporate alternative healing into the home without completely negating modern medicine. This can stay her prominent method of alternatives, or she will shift into the next stage which gets into other alternative methods such as reiki, acupuncture, sauna, energy healing practices, homeopathy and herbalism. There is a lot to explore in this realm and it can be very overwhelming to jump down the rabbit hole so some women will back out at this point saying that "it doesn't work" and is just a secondary option to try, and then go to a doctor when it doesn't "work" right away.

At this point, there ends up being a fork in the road where women will keep journeying down the road of self healing and anchoring into the radical self responsibility of our own wellness, and those who give up on it and go back to allopathic methods which often means silencing their own intuitive guidance and wisdom.

Yes, I do think allopathy has a place, but a pretty minimal one when it comes to overall wellness and well-being because it is a system of treatment based medicine of profit with players that win when more people are attached to said system. I know it sucks to consider the corruption of our medical system, but it is very much present.

So, as we allow ourselves to detach from the modern medical model, and see what has been corrupted, then we also begin to unravel all of the layers of our own psyche that have convinced us that we aren't uniquely divine and capable of healing without pharmaceutical medications. This is a step of shadow work that many people will never take.

Then as you travel deeper into the alternative world, you eventually will come to the other side of seeking remedies, and realize that our body doesn't always require any remedy at all. This is a new level of radical self realization of the body's capacity to self regulate and even regenerate.

This is where I found flower essences to be the most divine addition to your healing because it isn't meant to cover any symptoms or remove the discomfort of the shadow work, but instead, it supports the harmonization of your body as it unfolds on its own. It is not a disturbance, but a simple supportive nudge in the right direction.

With flower essences, we embody the energetic field of nature and our interconnection with it. The way its frequency supports the nature within each of us. From the medicine of spirit, embodied in the flowers, we absorb its potency in our own soul.

Wildly Awakened,
