FAQ

What are flower essences? Is it the same as aromatherapy?

The only thing that Flower Essences have in common with aromatherapy (or Essential Oils) is that both are plant-based.

Flower Essences are created by imprinting the vibration of the plant into water.  Flower Essence is also called a vibrational remedy. There is no fragrance. The signature vibration of flowers is used to help shift the energy by introducing a higher frequency of energy to a person, pet, or space.

Essential oils are created through distilling plant material to capture the fragrant oils. Essential oils are made with flowers, leaves, wood and resins and can help in healing work. Essential oils are often incorporated into a carrier like an oil, lotion, or wax. Drops of oils can be placed in water and gently warmed to scent the air. 

How are flower essences made?

Basically, flowers are floated on the water. You can also rest a glass container of water in a bed of flowers, or nestled in a tree. A gem essence is made by setting a (clean) crystal in water. The key is using pure, clean water (preferably from a natural spring) to imprint the vibration. This initial result is called the Mother Tincture. 

Are these vibrational essences fragrant?

No, Although the Mother Tincture is made with water, it is usually stabilized /preserved with a bit of alcohol, like brandy/vodka although there are products that use vinegar/colloidal silver or vegetable glycerine instead, these generally have a shorter shelf life. So they smell like water, or brandy or vinegar, not like flowers. 

How do you take  an Essence?

They can be taken orally, applied onto the skin, misted into the environment or dripped into a bath. To give a remedy to small reluctant recipients, like toddlers or pets, they can be added to juice or water.

My sacred space and aura mist products are made to be sprayed in your field around you or mist them into a space, like a room or a car. There is no wrong way to work with them.

Can I take essences everyday?

General guideline is to take 2 to 4 drops 2 x per day either under your tongue or in water. You can also apply to wrists, chakras or any place where you feel you are holding energy that you would like to shift. You can also add a few drops to your bath or your favorite body lotion, spray or essential oil diffuser to immerse your self in the vibration of the essence. Follow and trust your own inner guidance. The elementals of the flowers speak to us. If you feel like you need to use more or less, trust that inner guidance. As you continue to work with essences, you will become more receptible to what and how much you need to be using.
Essences are not ingested like your standard daily multivitamin. Cultivate a daily intention an create a personal ritual when using these remedies, to deepen your connection to the subtle energies and yourself.

Before using the essence I like to connect to the spirit of the plant or mineral I do this while holding the essence bottle in my hand and gently tapping it 3 x to awaken the energy matrix which holds the essence. It awakens the sleeping plant deva inside. Keeping your thoughts positive while in the presence of the essence is essential. As we have seen evidence of what effects thoughts have on the crystalline structure of water through the teachings of Dr. Emoto. Essences can  also be used to anoint sacred objects, like crystals, mala beads, wands or any tools you may use in ceremony or they can also be used in a healing session which is a powerful way to work with these essences.
