Flower essence
therapy is a form of vibrational healing, which treats with
pure energy to generate changes in the energetic field of
the client. Healing with flower essences is an extension
of the time-honored tradition of herbal medicine and has
been used for over 60 years, successfully returning people
and animals to balance and health. Flower essence therapy
has proven particularly useful in assisting animals that
have been abused, neglected or that have become stressed
and anxious due to interface with human beings.
All life is infused
with an innate intelligence, with a natural tendency toward
harmony and balance. The integrated levels of energy exhibited
by living beings include the physical, emotional, mental
and spiritual. Vibrational therapy is a powerful tool for
affecting cellular health and optimum well being on all
these levels. Plants and minerals are considered to have
positive qualities or virtues, which can be therapeutically
transferred to any animal or human being in need of balancing
or harmonizing.
The understanding
of matter as energy forms the basis of flower essence therapy.
Our current model of this principle is known as Einsteinian
or Quantum Physics. The rate of vibration of universal energy
determines its expression within the world of matter. Matter,
which vibrates at lower frequencies, is thought of as physical
matter, while that which vibrates at higher frequencies
is considered subtle matter.
A particular essence
may work primarily on the physical, mental, emotional or
spiritual level. It works not by attacking disease, but
by restoring healthy resonating frequencies. In the words
of Dr. Edward Bach, a flower essence pioneer, “the
action of the flower essences raises the vibration of the
being.... They cure by flooding the body with the beautiful
vibrations of the highest nature - in whose presence there
is the opportunity for disease to melt away like snow in
sunshine.”
Simply put, a
flower or other essence is the innate energy of a particular
plant or other substance, captured and stored for future
use. An essence is made by floating the blossoms of the
chosen plant on the surface of a bowl of pure spring water,
which is then charged in the sun for several hours. During
this time the vibrational imprint of the plant is transferred
to the water, water being a universal storage medium. (It
has been scientifically demonstrated that water has memory,
i.e., the capacity to store information.) Once complete,
the flower essence is preserved, made potent or amplified,
and stored for later therapeutic use. Essences may be ingested
or applied topically.
Flower essences
encourage a gentle, positive, noninvasive refocusing. For
instance, an animal that has experienced abuse or neglect
may be come withdrawn and depressed, leading to illness
and negative behavior. Appropriate essences are offered
to open the heart to love and trust, and to release past
trauma. The animal is then often better able to respond
to other healing modalities. According to Robert Goldstein,
DVM, “Flower essences ... complement holistic veterinary
medicine perfectly, are inexpensive, completely harmless
and without side effects. We have used flower essences routinely
with the animals brought to our clinic, and have seen profound
results.”

Flower
Essences and Gem Elixirs have become integral in today's
modern healing. Theses remedies use specialized energy forms
to positively affect body systems that are out of balance.
By rebalancing the energy fields and regulating the cellular
physiology, flower essences and gem elixirs are prepared
to restore order in the body system that is out of balance.
Unlike
Aromatherapy or herbal medicine, flower essences and gem
elixirs are the essence, or energetic imprint or a flower
or mineral. Nothing of the physical element of the flower
or mineral gets transferred in the process. They are the
ethereal vibration of the plant or mineral, referred to
as the vibrational signature. This signature is captured
by placing a flower or gem in distilled water in full sunlight
and allowing the sunlight to strike the water and blend
the energetic imprint into the water. This becomes the essence
and is then transferred to the individuals when it is ingested
or topically used on the body. These vibrational remedies
are prepared in this way as treatment using the pure energy
essence of the flower or mineral. This theory is based on
the understanding that the molecular arrangement of the
physical body is comprised of a network of interwoven energy
fields. These unique energy systems are affected by our
emotions, mental patterns, nutritional factors, environmental
conditions and even spiritual awareness level.
Dr.
Richard Bach, a pioneer in vibrational medicine, created
the Bach Flower Remedies based on the principle of hidden
healing capabilities expressed through the energetic life
force of flowers. Dr. Bach saw that the subtle vibrational
energies of flowers could assist in realigning the dysfunctional
patterns in the body. He saw that the energetic patterns
contained within flowers worked at the emotional, mental
and physical level of all living beings. These essences
that Dr. Bach created release the resistance of the body
by creating internal harmony and raise the energetic systems
of the body. Energetic remedies especially flower essences
and gem elixirs, work with higher levels of consciousness
and the subtle bodies (auras) and the chakras (major energy
centers within the body, meridians) and the physical (bimolecular).
Gem
elixirs function between flower essences, which have a higher
vibration, and homeopathic remedies, which have a lower
vibration. Gems carry the pattern of a crystalline structure.
Focusing the physical body's mineral and crystalline structures
on the bimolecular level, gems work more closely with the
bimolecular structure to integrate the life force into the
body. Gem elixirs can have powerful effects upon the meridians,
chakras and subtle bodies. They promote illumination and
can eventually lead to behavioral modification. Gem elixirs
promote enhanced focus and better decision making and problem
solving.
Flower
essences function in higher vibrational levels and promote
release of unwanted thought patterns, poor mental and emotional
habits that create disease and illness. Flower essences
help rebalance mental clarity and recharge positive emotional
energy. This is only one reason that flower essences work
so well with animal therapies. Animals respond extremely
well to the vibrational levels on the physical and behavioral
patterns. Flower essences can be used without harmful interactions
with other therapies. Their effects can often be seen very
quickly.
It
is extremely important to use only the purest of flower
essences and gem elixirs in order to get results. For those
who understand the importance of creating and blending,
there are certain procedures that are followed. Find a qualified
and dedicated professional who can help in your quest for
the purest blends. Using products that have been mass produced
and you cannot be sure of the quality should probably be
avoided since your results cannot be truly defined.
