Understanding Flower Essence
Flower Remedies are a simple and natural method discovered by Edward Bach of establishing equilibrium and harmony within the body by means of non-poisonous wildflowers. They are completely benign and result in no unpleasant reactions. They can be taken by person of all ages. There is no danger of an overdose or side effects, and they have proved to be very effective for animals and plant life.
The first step in using the Repertory is to identify the major soul issues through self-reflection.
Nature provides the air we breathe, the food we eat, the very essence of life itself- so who can deny that it must also provide the means to make us well! We must not forget that nearly all forms of medicine are derived originally from plant life - so there should be nothing odd or strange regarding the healing properties of wildflowers.
The Flower Essences bring into the body the higher vibrations of the sun now present in the flowers and so bathing our bodies with the essences of the flowers and their very high vibrations. The body thrills to their presence, the cells themselves bathing in the flower’s solar vibrations.
Note that some entries address the negative state of mind, some the transformed state that is the goal, and some include both polarities. It is important that we become familiar with the bipolar nature of flower essences: both the state of imbalance and the positive or transformative potential. In selecting appropriate essences we may start with the positive goal, and then uncover the emotional or mental pattern that blocks this purpose. Alternatively, you may start with the pattern of imbalance or suffering, and then determine the positive quality that needs to be developed. Therefore, the category listings are a mixture of both positive and negative indications for the essences.
Consider each statement and evaluate whether it is appropriate. If a description seems close, but not totally applicable to the situation, make note of it anyway. You may find another interpretation of the essence's qualities that seems more suitable. As you survey the various categories related to the main soul issues, note any essences that appear in several listings. These may be important ones to consider.
Best to have fun with this. This is a very subtle, and easy to use system that you can use a combination of flower essence for a while, and then create a new combination and slowly work on different areas of your concerns. I know a women who uses flower essence consistently and she has a beautiful happiness about her at all times.
Flower Essence are considered a nutritional supplement.
