Flower essences are potentized liquid remedies containing the etheric healing patterns of flowers. They are preserved with brandy (or for those with alcohol sensitivities, they may be special ordered preserved in vinegar), and taken orally a few drops at a time.

WHAT ARE THEY USED FOR?
Flower essences seem to subtly realign our emotional, mental, and spiritual selves to prevent or treat imbalances. They are gentle yet powerful catalysts for healing our whole self: flower essences can empower the self to become an integral part of the healing process. They are used to repair trauma, change obsolete patterns, balance energies and moods on all levels, and connect us to our intuitive wisdom, our inner resources, and the energies of the natural world. People experience the effects of essences in a myriad of ways. Some notice an indescribable shift in their reactions to issues in their lives. Some notice emotional or other blocks dissolving away, and some people feel an immediate shift in their energy.

HOW DO I CHOOSE ESSENCES?
You may wish to spend a moment thinking about what areas of your life you feel the need to bring healing energy into. There may be particular issues that you are facing in your journey of healing. When you read the descriptions of the essences you will probably find some that immediately attract you. Some people use a pendulum to help them with their selection. You may also use the following method of muscle-testing in which the body is used as a
dowsing rod. Clasp a bottle of flower essence in both hands and hold it against your solar plexus as you stand straight with your eyes closed. (Having your eyes closed merely helps you feel the shift in your balance more clearly) Ask yourself if that particular essence will be helpful for you. If you feel a forward movement of your body, that indicates a "yes." If you stay still or are repelled backwards, that indicates "no." It you test positive for several essences, you may test their compatibility with each other by holding them all in your hands and testing again. When you start getting unclear answers it means that you need to take a break and come back to it later.

HOW ARE THEY USED?
You may take the essences orally four drops, four times a day, for a lunar cycle of 28 days or you may use the method of muscle-testing described above and ask, "Do I need this once a day?... twice a day? ...three times a day? ...until you reach the maximum. You may take the essences directly from the stock bottles that you buy or you may prepare a dosage bottle. A dosage bottle is a one ounce dropper bottle prepared with 1/2 to 1 Tablespoon of brandy, vinegar, or vegetable glycerin (as a preservative), pure water almost to the top, and then 2-4 drops from each stock bottle that you have chosen. Flower essences may also be used in massage oils, lotions, salves, and bath water.

WHAT IF I AM SENSlTIVE TO ALCOHOL?
Individuals with alcohol sensitivities may take essences in a dosage bottle prepared with vegetable glycerin or vinegar as a preservative. Some people choose to use 2-4 drops from a stock bottle diluted in a glass of water. This way the alcohol content is negligible. All stock bottles available in a vinegar base by special order.
