How Flower Essences can be helpful

We all have times in life when we need some extra help. Flower Essences deal with all forms of stress. They are helpful when feeling “stuck” in life or for experiencing a relationship break up, a bereavement, job loss, depression or anxiety which is hard to move on from. They are also extremely effective for low self-esteem or for when needing some clarity, direction, inspiration, inner healing or when we are generally ready to take a step forward.

Flower Essences are powerful catalysts for emotional transformation. They are an ideal choice for self-improvement and inner growth, as they help us to gently release the layers of past conditioning from the outside inwards. They can continue to give support until all personal strengths and gifts are fully accessed, making it possible to become a happier and more fulfilled individual, which can indirectly improve physical health.

Flower Essences recharge the system with the life-force of Nature which has a profoundly healing effect. As Edward Bach, an early pioneer of Flower Essences said,
“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 the sunshine.”
Flower Essences contain the vibrational signature of different plants and trees, they are very gentle, so have no contraindications, yet are incredibly powerful at healing emotional and life~path challenges. Flower Essences bring greater self-realization and thereby give us the desire to change and transform old habits, which no longer serve us. They are also safe and effective for children and during pregnancy when other treatments may not be recommended.

The Flower Essences which I use

The Essences I work with are those I have made with Nicki An Greenheart over the last 7 years, called Wild Medicine Essences (www.wildmedicine.co.uk). We work in the spirit of co-creation with Nature, making the Essences in Avalon, Iona and other sacred places. We use the spring water of the Chalice Well and the White Spring, with the energy of the rising sun and full moon. In order to understand how to use each Essence, we connect at the time of making it with the Spirit of each plant, and in this way we form a deep heart connection which we draw on when working with the Essences in practice. There are about 60 Essences in this range.

I have also in recent years been privileged to help develop The Chalice Well Flower Essence range and to continue this co-creative way of working as part of The Chalice Well Essence making team. So, I am delighted that this range is also now available ~ this set comprises of 9 Essences which assist with the unfolding of our evolution and consciousness, providing a pathway for an inner journey through cleansing, alignment and vibrational attunement to a place of inner peace, love and joy.

I have also worked for about 15 years with the Bach Flower Essences, which I believe were divinely inspired and are very effective for treating many emotional challenges such as fear, anger, jealousy and depression.

How to take Flower Essences

Flower Essences are usually taken as 5-7 drops internally 2-3 times a day from a 30ml dropper bottle. They are essentially the vibrational frequency of the plant in Spring water and preserved with brandy. No special rules apply, as they do in homeopathy, so you can eat or drink anything at any time. 

Treatment period

Some acute problems can be resolved with one treatment bottle, for most difficulties it is advisable to take three, and some chronic problems could require in excess of four to facilitate long-lasting improvement.

Essences and other Therapies

Flower Essences are very compatible with other therapies, including allopathic medicine. The reason essences do not interfere with other means of therapy is that they work on a vibrational level and may even enhance treatment, as they energise the human system and create a more positive frame of mind. 

Treating children with Flower Essences

I have a lot of experience with this, having 3 children of my own! Flower Essences are ideal for children as they are gentle and safe, but give positive help to the difficulties experienced in babyhood, childhood and adolescence. Essences can help children in many ways, such as to settle in school, to sleep better and to concentrate better.

About Me

I have always loved Nature, and even as a child was aware of the transformational qualities which Nature afforded just by being with her. If I felt sad or lonely at that time I would go and be in Nature and I knew that she could heal it and change it into a positive experience. All these years later I am still working with the healing energies of Nature, but now I am able to share them through the Essences. An Greenheart and I discovered how to make Essences from the plants themselves and they continue to be our greatest teachers. It has been an incredible and humbling journey to work with the plants as allies, it has been our spiritual practice and our deepest joy.

I am a qualified practitioner of Vibrational Medicine, Reiki, Holistic Massage and Reflexology and presently studying the incredible system of homeopathy. I also help people to connect and co-create with Nature through retreats, talks and workshops
