flower essences

Flowers and plants communicate to us through their energy. Their color, their smell, their shape, size, etc. … all of these things contribute to how the plant makes us feel when we’re around it or when we see it. Some plants have a mysterious quality, some are vibrant, some are delicate, some are hardy, some are pointy or prickly - each of these qualities carry a vibrational medicine.

Flower essences are a “bottling” of a flower’s vibration which we can use as medicine for our own vibration/energy. Essentially, when we take a flower essence the vibration of that plant begins to work on and heal our own vibration.

The magic and healing happens when we begin to see things from a different perspective, or feel differently about something. What’s happening is the vibrational medicine is dissolving blockages we may have had, allowing for new neural pathways to be created, which essentially helps us think about things differently and ultimately feel differently too.

How are flower essences made?

The flowers are harvested, put directly in filtered water and then sit in the sun for a few hours. During that time the water takes on the vibration or energetic imprint of the flower. The flowers are strained from the water and the water is mixed with an equal amount of brandy. This keeps the flower essence from going bad or expiring.

How does one use flower essences?

Flower essences are to be taken by adding a few drops to a glass of water, as needed. I find that doing this once in the morning usually is all I need, unless I’m processing something that’s really challenging which then I may increase to 2 or maybe 3 times a day, max. Really it’s just based on what you intuitively feel you need. When taking flower essences, I strongly suggest only working with one flower essence at a time and taking it consistently for a couple of weeks. Shifts will begin to take place sometimes as soon as right away, but mostly I find they begin to occur after a few days of taking the flower essence. The flower essence should not need to be taken for longer than a few weeks or a month, at most, as once it begins to shift your vibration you will know you no longer need it.

How do I know which flower essence I should take?

If there’s a certain flower you feel intuitively drawn towards or feel has been “speaking” to you, I would start there as it’s trying to get your attention. If you don’t have a sense of either of those things, you may purchase a flower essence divination where I will do a shamanic journey to see which flower is stepping forward at this time to help you.

How do I purchase a flower essence?

I currently do not sell flower essences but plan to in the future. You can easily make them yourself, if it’s the growing season (Spring, Summer, Fall). Click on this link to learn how. Just know, that the water will also take on the energy of the environment the flower essence is being created in. Putting a piece of selenite next to the bowl can help deter any lower vibrations, or you can intentionally put the bowl somewhere that feels really great to enhance the quality of the flower essence. Otherwise, there are plenty of places online to purchase them.
