Flower Therapy (page 2)back to page 1Flower therapy has become more popular in recent years. New essence lines have emerged worldwide and there are hundreds of flower essences available. The two original lines are the Bach Flower Remedies and the Spirit-in-Nature Essences. Bach Rescue Remedy is the most loved and well-known of all the essences. Bach Flower RemediesAlthough the use of flower therapy may date back to ancient times, the person most famous for his work with flower remedies is the late Dr. Edward Bach.Dr. Bach was a successful London doctor in the 1920's who became dissatisfied with only treating diseases. He wanted to bring relief to the whole person so he left his orthodox medical practice in search of a remedy that would do this. His intuition led him to flowers. Dr. Bach discovered that flowers vibrate with different mental and emotional states. He learned that when you are in the negative aspect of an emotional state, the corresponding essence introduces the vibration for the positive aspect of that state. Over the years his work led him to identify 38 Bach remedies. As he used these remedies with patients, Dr. Bach realized that as negative mental and emotional states gave way to balanced healthy states, physical symptoms would often resolve as well. For the most part, flower essences do not directly address physical dis-ease. But when you introduce their high, pure vibration into the energy field, it affects the field and helps it move in the direction of health. The Bach Rescue Remedy is often used as a remedy to help in times of trauma and stress. It's widely available on-line and in natural health stores. Spirit-in-Nature EssencesThe oldest flower remedies outside the U.K. is the Spirit-in-Nature Essence line. This series of 20 essences was developed in the 1970's by Lila Devi. To this day, the blossoms are primarily picked and made into essences in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California.Her work was inspired by Paramhansa Yogananda, the first Indian yogi to live in the West. He interpreted the psychological and spiritual qualities of foods. Yogananda noted that fresh fruits and vegetables are filled with life force, especially the blossoms. An example: Let's say you are feeling overly fearful about your health and feel physically and emotionally vulnerable. Apple,the essence of healthfulness, may be used to help you have a more positive outlook and healthy, nourishing thoughts. A complementary visualization and affirmation help as you shift and assimilate the vibration of apple. Pear is 'the rescue remedy' of the Spirit-in-Nature line.

If you think in terms of harmonic resonance and vibrational energy healing. flower therapy strikes a similar note to the state in our consciousness we desire. The higher vibration of the flowers lets the lower vibration of the negative qualities fall away. This strengthens your true nature and lets it emerge.
