What are Flower Essences?

---

Flower essence remedies provide an opportunity to address what is out of balance in your life. These Essences gently address daily challenges such as stress, anger, grief, self-worth, abundance, and relationships. They are lovingly prepared to bring about positive, effective changes within every aspect of your daily life - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. They also assist with the release of repressed cellular memories held within the body from your past experiences and those passed down through your ancestors.

Stocks have a shelf life of approximately 4-5 years whereas doses approximately 4-6 weeks. They are best stored in a cool, dark place.

The recommended method for taking essences is by placing several drops of the essences directly under the tongue and holding it there for a moment. This way they are absorbed quickly and easily into the body. Alternatively the drops can be added to a small amount of water and held in the mouth for a moment before swallowing.

Essences are usually taken two to three times a day for approximately 2-3 weeks to properly get things moving. Essences will generally continue to be active for some time after stopping. They are suitable for people of all ages including babies.

When taking essences for long-term periods; e.g. She Oak or Childbearing Mix for infertility, it is recommended that they be taken for 4 weeks ON and then 2 weeks OFF for up to 6 months.

Flower Essences are also suitable for your pets which usually respond very well to them. The drops can be placed directly into their mouths or added to their food or water.

As you flow along life's path, your challenges and emotional needs may change from day to day, or from week to week. From a broader perspective, you may be constantly sorting through specific situations, emotions and challenges in your life. In so doing your needs would be met by different remedy choices at different times.

Sometimes particular remedies may need to be repeated to address challenges that you are working through. This would depend on either how deep-seated these may be, and/or how well you have been progressing in rising above them. In most cases a different remedy mix would be required for each selection as you work through layers of emotions and challenges.

As Flower Essences are ingested they are assimilated into the circulatory system and then into the nervous system where they connect with the life-force and consciousness of the subtle bodies, chakras and cellular structure of the physical body. As the Remedies are absorbed into the body they trigger responses that assist with the release of repressed cellular memories thus offering opportunities for a person to step aside and see a situation with a different perspective.

Remedies generally continue to be active for some time after a dosage has been completed, so it is usual for a short space of time be allowed between remedies. However this varies with each individual person, and it is important to trust your intuition with regard to this. Sometimes you may feel impressed to follow on with the next mix immediately for whatever reason. It is safe to do so as Flower Remedies are self-adjusting to your physical and emotional needs.

Flower Essences can also be effective when used externally on the body. They can be added to massage oils or creams, or used as a poultice or in a bath. When added to oil burner/vaporisers or sprays they can be useful to clear and calm the energies of a room or to clear your aura; e.g. Equanimity Energy Spray.

Gemstones and Crystals are intuitively included within the preparation process of this range of essences to enhance and magnify their energies and healing properties. Solara uses her voice to sing healing sounds during the preparation of essences to help raise the vibrations and connect with the plant devas & elementals.

Flower Essences work most effectively when there is a conscious intent and willingness for healing so that life changes and transformation can take place. Affirmations have therefore been provided with each of the flower pages on this site to assist with focus, intent and commitment to change. These affirmations are given as examples and can be changed to whatever you feel suits you best.

The essences are non-invasive, free from side effects and are self-adjusting to your individual needs. They are suitable for people of all ages as well as for animals and plants.

The name "Nature's Flowers of Life®" was chosen to be in partnership with the "Flower of Life" sacred geometry which appears as a series of circles that overlap one another to create flower-like petals. These geometric forms are to be found in all life forms, particles and molecules.

Approximately 500 years ago a man named Paracelsus developed a concept known as the Doctrine of Signatures of plants and flowers. This concept holds that the appearance of the plant or flower conveys insights that relate to their healing qualities. The Doctrine of Signatures can relate to the shape, colour or texture of a flower, plant, or tree. It can also relate to the number of petals or stamen for example. This concept is used in most of the flower files found on this site.
