“Just living is not
enough... One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little
flower.”-Hans Christian Andersen
About Flower
Essences
Flower essences are energetic remedies made from flowers. They
are similar to the idea of homeopathy, yet different. Many
people are familiar with the Bach Flower Rescue Remedy as
it is the most common and oldest commercial flower essence. It
is used for stress, upset, fear, trauma, shock and grief. It is
also often used for pets when they are stressed with a trip to
the vet, fireworks, lightening or other trauma.
Benefits of Flower
Essences
So
why take a flower essence if we already have the power to heal
ourselves? For the same reason we go to see a doctor or a health
practitioner. We have forgotten that we can do it and we need
some guidance to remind us how. An outside perspective can help
us find the way and the strength to better health. Flower essences provide the
body with calm healing vibration. Just enough for the body to
recognize the feeling and create more of that feeling itself. We
all have the power to heal ourselves, we just forget that we do
when our system has been jolted. Flower essences gently and
effectively bring that memory back to the body so that the body
can heal.
You
know the feeling you get when you go for a walk in the woods? No
not the adrenaline rush from speeding down a trail on bike or
getting to the top of a rock face. The feeling of calm, peace,
ease and clarity of being outside walking on dirt, passing by
giant trees, breathing in clean air and noticing the little
flowers peeking out of the bushes. That is what flower essences
give you, it's that feeling only more specific to the issue you
are addressing. Flower essences bring that feeling to you when
you are stressed in the office, trying to make dinner with kids
screaming around you and the phone ringing, feeling lonely or
sad, scared, nervous, doubtful... All those places where you
can't just go outside, when you can't escape from it. Flower
essences bring some calm and they are easy to take, completely
safe for everyone and effective.
I
was first introduced to The Bach Rescue Remedy after I ran out of a house
fire in the middle of the night. It was a bit stressful. I had to keep on going to
nutrition school, getting my work done, going to my job and
writing exams. We were in limbo and sleeping at the neighbours
and dealing with other stress due to the fire. Rescue Remedy and
a Reiki session helped me, big time. It also got me interested
in flower essences and using them with others. Now that is what
I do.
What People are Saying
“Marissa, I
wanted to share with you how excited I was about the flower remedy
that you gave me. I came to see you because I was hungry every three
hours and I was having problems feeling satisfied by the food I ate
unless I added lots of fat or lots of sugar. Within a few days of
taking your remedy, I have felt less hunger and felt much more
satisfied by what I ate. The amazing part was around chocolate: I
have been able to see my boy-friend eating some chocolate in front
of me (or other sweet things) and not feel like having a piece! This
is exactly what I needed. Thank you.”
