Flower Essences: A Tool of the Spirit

Flower essences should not be confused with "essential oils" as used in aromatherapy. Essential oils are concentrated chemical constituents from herbs, collected by a distillation process. When applied to the skin or inhaled, it has a powerful, but mostly chemical, effect on the body and mind. An essence, on the other hand, is the concentrated energy of the plant; its effects are primarily energetic or "auric", not physical.

Although knowledge of the healing powers of flowers and herbs goes back many centuries, the modern story of flower essences starts at around 1928. That was when Dr. Edward Bach, a homeopathic doctor, retired from his London practice to the countryside to research a new kind of medicine. Until his death in 1936, he sought out the 38 remedies that now bear his name. In the last 20 years, much research has been done to discover additional remedies around the world.

To make Easter Lily, follow the sun infusion method developed by Dr. Bach. Place a clear, glass pan on the grass in your yard, pour spring water into it (just enough to cover the bottom), and placed 3 easter lily flowers in the pan. This needs to soak up the heating rays of the sun for 4 or 5 hours, from early morning until around noon. What happens when you do this strange operation is truly an alchemical miracle.

When the bottled essence is taken into the human body, the energy is released into your own energy field (the aura) and causes it to change. Something new is added to your aura; old patterns in the aura are rearranged and released. Each essence is experienced, in human terms, as a psychological or emotional force, a new psychic "theme" to integrate. For instance, Easter Lily essence deals with resolving the tension between sexuality and spirituality, purifying the body and its drives. Another flower, Mariposa Lily, deals with the experience of warm maternal love and support, etc. If you have a lack or imbalance in the theme represented by some essence, it will help you reorder your experience into a new balance. In this way, the flowers help us heal old emotional wounds and uncover our true selves. Each flower has its own lesson to teach our souls. Flowers are astounding alchemists.
