Disease is in essence the result of a conflict between soul and mind and will never be eradicated except by spiritual and mental effort. No effort directed to the body alone can do more than superficially repair damage and in this is no cure since the cause is still operative and may at any moment again demonstrate its presence in another form.
- Edward Bach
The action of flower essence can be compared to the effects we experience from hearing a particularly moving piece of music, or seeing an inspirational work of art. The light or sound waves may reach your ears and eyes but the results can also affect your emotions, often right through to your soul. Each flower essence has its own unique personality and set of lessons that it can teach us. By understanding both the positive qualities as well as the patterns of imbalance that each flower addresses, they can help us with our fears, worries and emotional issues.
Flower essences are subtle liquid extracts, generally taken in oral form, which are used to address profound issues of emotional well-being, soul development and body-mind health. While the use of flowers for healing has many antecedents, the precise application of flower essences for specific emotions and attitudes was first developed by an English physician, Dr. Edward Bach, in the 1930s. Today, flower essences are gaining world-wide professional recognition for their significant contribution to holistic health and wellness programs.
Flower essences are generally prepared from a sun infusion of either ethically wild-harvested flowers or pristine garden blossoms in a bowl of pure water, which is further potentized and prepared as a mother essence and then diluted into a stock and preserved with brandy. Quality preparations requires careful attention to the purity of the environment , the vibrancy of the blossom, celestial and meteorological conditions and sensitive study of the physical and energetic properties of the plant through its cycles of growth.
Like homeopathic remedies Flower essences are vibrational in nature. They address the subtle but very important realm of the human psyche, where thoughts and feeling emanate.
Water is the universal carrier of vibrational imprints. The hydrogen-oxygen bonds in the H2O molecule have an infinite number of bond-angle permutations and electron orbit shifts, even without considering sub-atomic particles, and therefore they possess an infinite capacity for carrying different vibrations. It is likely that, during the process of potentisation of flower essences in sunlight that the water starts to resonate with the vibrational imprint of the flower. This resonance then remains in the water, and can be detected by Kirlian photography. The imprint can be deleted by boiling the water.
Applying the appropriate resonant frequency (the correct flower essence) to a complex discordant wave-form (a human out of balance, in a particular mental or emotional aspect) re-balances the energy system to return order to the former chaos. The physics experiment of placing sand onto a drum, then applying a sound, illustrates this nicely. Depending on the sound the sand quickly falls into beautiful regular patterns on the drum's surface.
By analogy, this is how flower remedies fit in with the rest of medicine: we all play a note or tune which is in harmony when we are well. Our tune is like the hum of a well-maintained sewing machine or a well-performed melody on the piano. When we go out of balance the note becomes jangling and discordant.
Sometimes the piano strings are broken. Surgery repairs them. Sometimes the notes stick. Orthodox medicine oils them and frees them up. The strings can be out of tune. Let homeopathy re-harmonize the physical piano. But let's say the pianist is hungry and tired - flower remedies act as a tonic to refresh and uplift him or her. The result - an inspired performance!
Of course there is overlap - homeopathy can have profound mental effects, antibiotic treatment of bacterial meningitis saves the piano from sinking like the Titanic, and surgical tracheostomy for laryngeal obstruction enables the rest of the body/mind/spirit to continue to function whilst the obstruction is dealt with.
Imagine a symphony orchestra before a concert. The audience waits, hearing only a varying cacophony of many instruments playing their own discordant notes. At a given moment the lead violin starts to tune his open string to an A. Gradually at first, and then more rapidly, the entire company of assembled musicians picks up the note till a single A is being played by the whole orchestra. All are now in a harmonic unison, started by a single player setting the note.
Essentially flower essences reintroduce a harmonizing, healing note to the whole organism. They appear to work on the emotional/etheric level to gently bring the whole structure back into balance.
Flower essences appear to work on a subtle level, mediated through the electrical system of the body, possibly via the Chakras and the meridian system of Chinese acupuncture. Flower remedies are compatible with all orthodox medicine and other vibrational medicine. Though their action is gentle, their potential power should not be underestimated. They are truly tools of transformation.
