EssencesFlower Essences
Essences assist healing the emotional, mental and spiritual areas of our lives and so have an effect on our physical well being.
Essences help to dissolve our negative patterns, habits, attitudes and behaviour which hold us back and limit us from achieving our goals, transforming negative states of being such as fear, loneliness, indecision, sadness, apathy, envy and resentment. They work at enhancing positive qualities including vitality, joy, fun, courage, independence, peace of mind, inspiration, enthusiasm, confidence, self esteem and self worth, love, capacity to learn, the ability to study and concentrate.
General notes about essences
- Essences may be used for short or long term matters. In general the longer a pattern has been part of our lives the longer it will be necessary to take the essence. If you are treating yourself or another person for a long term matter then you are better to make a dosage bottle, however if it is for a short term situation then taking a dose in a glass of water may be all that is required.
- Essences are best taken four times a day. Taken first thing when we wake, last thing before going to bed and two other times throughout the day. We are receptive to change when we have a bath or meditate and these are two good times to take your essences.
- Essences are not affected by the food we eat or by drinks, so you can eat and take your essence at the same time.
- Children are dosed at the same rate as adults, however they often do not need to take essences for as long.
- Essences which are preserved in alcohol will last for long periods of time, however , they are susceptible to contamination from saliva. Please make sure that you do not get saliva on the dropper, if you do wash the dropper immediately. For children have two droppers, so that you use one and replace it with a clean one whilst you wash the one you just used.
- I place my drops under my tongue and hold there for a few seconds before swallowing. You can however just place them in your mouth, or place them in a small amount of water and sip.
