HOW TO USE FLOWER ESSENCES
Cultivating intention around the ritual of using these remedies will deepen your connection to the subtle energies, and ultimately your self. Before using the essence, I like to connect with the spirit of the plant ~ I do this while tapping the bottom of the bottle on my palm (usually about 5 times), which assists in awakening the matrix in which the essence is held.
Water, in its natural state, is always in motion ~ shaking the bottle in this way activates both the aliveness of the water, and wakes up the sleeping plant deva inside (that is my experience anyway). Being intentional about your thoughts while in the presence of the essence (and water in general), is essential, as we have seen evidence from Dr. Masaru Emoto's work the effect that thoughts have on the crystalline structure of water.
HOW TO USE FLOWER ESSENCES:
Taking 3-4 drops 3-4 times per day, either under the tongue, or in some water is a general guideline. I believe in trusting your own guidance; if you feel like you need to use more one day and less the next, trust that. As you continue to work with the essences, you will become more receptive to what and how much you need to be using. In addition to ingesting the essences, you can apply them topically to your wrists, temples, chakras, acupressure points or any place where you feel that you are holding energy that you would like to shift. You can also put a few drops in a bath, body lotion, room spray or essential oil diffuser to immerse yourself in the vibration of the essence.
Anointing sacred objects, like crystals, mala beads, wands, or any tools you may use in ceremony is a powerful way to work with these essences. Integrate them with the healing work that you do ~ whether it is Reiki, massage or Emotional Freedom Technique for profound~multidimensional shifts & growth.
WORK WITH FLOWER ESSENCES IN NATURE, ON THE EARTH & IN HER WATERS
You can use up to 4 different essences in a protocol to address whatever it is you are working on & to get you to where you want to go in your own process, as long as the essences don’t contradict each other, and support each other in their function. I personally choose three - one for the Past, for what I need to clear up, release & let go of in order to move forward. One for the Present, for whatever it is that I am marinating in the midst of at that moment. And the final one for the Future, for where I am headed, what I would like to create for myself & the energies I'd like to invite into my experience. You could also choose them for Mind, Body & Spirit - like we have in our Oracle Reading, or whatever other parameters you choose.
FLOWER ESSENCES ARE SUBTLE YET POWERFUL
More isn't always necessarily better, though consistency in taking an essence (or applying it topically) does make a difference. Giving the essence some time to integrate & work with your energy is essential. Sometimes shifts happen immediately, other times it could take a couple of weeks to notice that a shift has occurred.
