Flower Therapy and Vibrational Healing
Flower therapy is one of the most natural and universal ways we share our feelings, bring comfort and express joy with each other. We give flowers to celebrate births and happy occasions. We bring flowers to cheer a sick friend and say goodbye to loved ones when they cross over. And how lovely it is to receive them. Have you ever noticed how children gravitate to flowers and eagerly pick them for moms and loved ones? It feels instinctive to give flowers and to be drawn to them. Just being in the presence of flowers seems to lift the spirits. What we sometimes have difficulty expressing in words, flowers say for us. Some people sit near flowering plants they wish healing from. Meditating on the qualities and energy of the plant is a lovely way to experience the benefits of flower therapy. More commonly, people use a prepared flower essence remedy.
From a vibrational energy healing view, flowers and flower essences have the highest vibration of any plant medicine. They are the reproductive part of the plant. When a plant is in bloom, it's life force energy is concentrated in the flowers.Flowers are collected with their morning dew and left in water to impart their vibrational essence into the water. Prepared remedies are processed very carefully so as to preserve their purity and vibration. Flowers are collected with their morning dew and left in water to impart their vibrational essence into the water. To quote from Flower Essences and Vibrational Healing,the author Gurudas states, ...flowers were and are the very essence and the highest concentration of the life-force in the plant...They are a combination of the etheric properties [of the plant] and are at the height of the life-force...The actual essence, of course, is the electromagnetic pattern of the plant form...[Essences prepared from the flowers are] merely an etheric imprint; nothing physical gets transferred...you are dealing strictly with the ethereal vibration of the plant, the intelligence of it. The sun striking the water melds into the water the life-force of the flower, and this is transferred to people when they assimilate these vibrational essences. Small research studies and anecdotal evidence from thousands of users support the effectiveness of flower therapy as a viable form of vibrational energy healing. Other studies have not been able to prove effectiveness. Don’t expect to be hit over the head by these remedies. Sometimes I’ll take a deep breath or notice a shift in my thinking right away. Often the effects are less obvious. Generally flower therapy works subtly but powerfully over time. It can take months to notice a real change. Don't let this discourage you. Months are better than years or never.
Using Flower Essences
Commercial preparations are called a Stock Concentrate. The bottle usually contains your flower essence, water and brandy. The brandy preserves the remedy and anchors the vibrational energy in the water. You may take your doses directly from this bottle or you can further dilute it to make a Dosage Bottle. This makes the stock concentrate last longer and less likely to get tainted when being used. To prepare a dosage bottle simply add two drops of stock concentrate to a one-ounce dark-glass dropper bottle. Add one tablespoon of brandy and then top off the bottle with spring water. Leave enough head room so it doesn't spill out when inserting your glass eyedropper. Take four drops, four times per day or more. You can add two drops to your body lotion or massage oil. Or put four drops in a misting bottle and spritz your skin with it. A flower essence practitioner will usually give you a dosage bottle with your essence. If working with Spirit-in-Nature essences you may get a few different bottles of single remedies instead of a mixture of essences in one bottle. Either way, you take two to four drops four times a day, under the tongue or in a beverage. Increasing the amount of drops you take at a time will not hurt you, but it will not add any benefit either. If you need more support, take the remedy more often. Flower therapy is most effective when combined with healing affirmations and other healing work. Some practitioners recommend using up to seven essences mixed into a dosage bottle at a time. Others prefer to focus on one or two at the most. Both methods can be effective. There are benefits of working with one remedy at a time, however. You can really notice what that remedy does for you. You will probably notice a shift within days instead of weeks or months and you can focus more specific affirmations to correspond with the remedy. You can always return to the essence and work with it at a deeper level at a later time. Flower therapy is totally safe to use at any age. Use them alone or with any other healing methods and medications. Animals seem to benefit even faster than people when given these remedies. Flower Essences combine well with Homeobotanical Remedies and can be mixed in the same bottle. They are not a substitute for appropriate medical care.
