Understanding and Using Flower Essences 

Everything is energy! And everything has its own vibration and energetic frequency, including us. 

Healing using energy is not new - it’s been used for thousands of years in ancient cultures. Moving blocked energy can help us feel better, physically and emotionally. 

There are so many types of therapies that use energy healing from Reiki to Hypnotherapy, Reflexology and more. There are also many tools we can use that work energetically - essential oils, homeopathy and of course flower essences. 

Energetic therapies have the ability to change the vibration or energetic fields within our body, meaning that they have the ability to heal. 

When our vibration is low, our mind and body is susceptible to dis-ease. By raising our vibration through energetic therapies, you can create an environment where dis-ease cannot thrive.  

What are flower essences?

Have you heard of Rescue Remedy? Well then you are already familiar with flower essences. Rescue Remedy is created using Bach flower essences, originating from England. This might be the most well known flower essence blend and it has made its way into the mainstream, even being sold at chemists!

I work with Australian Bush Flower Essences. They are created from plants that are either native to Australia or have a strong presence in our landscape. They are in liquid form, made from fresh flowers that imprint water with their energetic pattern.

 They are not created from the oil or scent of the flower/plant so there is no smell. It’s rather the energetic vibration from the plant, imprinted on the water, which has a healing benefit to our bodies. 

The aim is to bring the body back to a state of balance by treating the imbalance at a higher level.

How do you use flower essences?

Here is some more information about how to use flower essences and how to get the most out of them.

How do you take flower essences?

Flower essences can be taken orally or topically. 

They are usually taken as 7 drops under the tongue morning and night (although I am not strict on that myself as a practitioner…or a Mum!) 

It’s best to take them away from food, drink or brushing teeth. Allow 15-20 minutes either side. 

In addition, you can use them for a specific situation as needed. For example, you might want to use FOCUS POCUS drops just before an exam or a long car trip or use BELLY BANDAID when the kids have a sore tummy.

You can also add your essences to food or drinks which is great for young children or animals. Pop them in to your water bottle in the morning for sipping on throughout the day.

You can also apply flower essences directly to your skin topically. An example of this would be using EMERGENCY ESSENCE directly on an insect bite. It’s best not to use it on broken skin as the brandy used to preserve the mix can sting. But they can be added to creams for the skin or even to your bath water!

Try placing the drops onto your stomach just above your naval, this is where your ‘feeling centre’ is situated or place the drops on your pulse points e.g. inner wrists, side of the neck or behind the ears. 

Are flower essences safe to use?

Be confident when using flower essences pregnant, breastfeeding, for young babies and animals because the essence is metabolised through the limbic system, rather than digested like supplements. Flower essences do not interact with any medications. They work really well in conjunction with other healing therapies like homeopathy, holistic counselling, reiki etc. 

What’s in flower essences? 

Flower essence, distilled water and a preservative. I either brandy or organic vegetable glycerine. This is to prevent bacteria growing if the dropper touches the inside of a person's mouth. The amount of brandy used is not enough to register in the blood and is safe for babies and young children.  Organic vegetable glycerine is generally used in children's blends as it has a more appealing taste.

How do you use flower essences? 

Less is more - while you can use more than one essence at a time, or different blends throughout the day, by spacing these out or focusing on one for a week or two can have the most benefit. 

When starting a new blend, it is best to take it for a minimum of 2- 4 weeks.  Then have a break of 2 weeks. Like an onion, as you peel back your layers, you may discover a change in your health, body or emotions which will mean your healing needs to go in a different direction or with a different essence. 

How do you store flower essences? 

Essences are best to be stored out of direct sunlight and away from heat, hence the amber bottles. Find a cool, dark place for them. 

How to choose the right flower essence blend?

Choose the blend that resonates with your symptoms or how you are feeling at this time. If your concerns are more specific, work with a flower essence practitioner (like me!) who can make you personalised blend to address your individual needs. 

Flower essences are a subtle but powerful energy therapy designed to bring you back into harmony and balance. Enjoy using them and please get in touch if you have any questions or if you would like to experience them for yourself, check out the shop.

Setting Health Boundaries for Self Care

The silly season is often a time when women are stretched thin to keep everyone happy. We can experience greater stress, self care and good nutrition is harder to achieve and relationships are tested!

Setting boundaries to take care of ourselves is something that many of us find difficult. You might resonate if you are a ‘people pleaser’ and like everyone to think the best of you.

But when you start to stand up for yourself and put yourself first, you can experience less stress and anxiety and your confidence can grow. 

Setting boundaries can be best explained as communicating your needs for healthy interaction with others. Not everyone may like or understand your boundaries or your reasons for setting them. But if you don’t communicate your boundaries, other people don’t realise they are imposing on them!

How do you know you need to set a boundary? Look for the times you feel uncomfortable or resentful.

Does your workmate hug you and it makes you uncomfortable? Is your friend always really late to meet you and disrespects your time?

Does your mother gossip with you about other members of the family?

Have a think about what you need in those situations and then express them in a calm, firm manner without the need for overexplaining or apologising.

Flower Essences:

I know setting boundaries can be very difficult and emotional, so with this in mind, I have created a brand new flower essence blend for you… called Boundaries! I think it will be really supportive to a lot of you over the next couple of months while dealing with the extra pressures of the silly season.

This flower essence supports the gentle souls of this world who find so much pleasure in giving and looking after others, even though it comes at a cost to themselves. These beautiful beings are happy to make sacrifices and go without, but as they give time and time again, it inevitably takes a toll on their own health. They find it difficult to set boundaries and stick to them, concerned they will appear direct or selfish.

It is also a great essence for those who struggle to maintain focus and self-discipline in achieving their goals.

Shake It Off  - This flower essence blend can assist you with believing in yourself, courage, calmness, clarity and having the strength to leave unpleasant situations. 

Confidence Charge - If you struggle with self love and accepting yourself, this is a great flower essence blend to try. It can assist with celebrating your beauty, reaching your potential and self approval and love.

Homeopathy:

Sepia - This is a great remedy for women who are emotionally worn down, irritable and indifferent with aversion to consolation and a desire to be left alone.

Cocculus -  Use this remedy when you are exhausted by worry and lack of sleep. You may be nursing loved ones or getting up to sleepless children.

Stress Complex - This is a combination of homeopathic remedies that may offer support for symptoms associated with everyday general stresses. 

Graphites - This remedy helps to improve self-esteem and reduces self-doubt and the tendency to vacillate over every decision. It can give you a sense that what they are and who they are is good.

Other Thoughts:

Many of you will be familiar with the brilliant work of The Holistic Psychologist. Here are her tips for setting boundaries:

  • Understand people’s feelings are not your responsibility. The underlying belief when we do things to make others “feel” better is that we are responsible for how people feel. Some people don’t like hearing no. Other people may think you are “selfish” or “rude.” How people feel about your actions is based on their own previous experiences in the world. They have little or nothing to do with you. You are not responsible for the feelings created from them.
  • Say NO then step away. The reason people can’t keep boundaries is because of how the person they’re trying to set the boundary with reacts. It is incredibly important to say “no” and then remove yourself from that person. It may mean turning off your phone or going into your bedroom and closing the door. The beginning of boundary setting is all about getting you OK with saying no. In order to do that, you need to block out all responses.
  • Let words be second to action. Humans are verbal creatures. We are used to expressing ourselves mainly through words. Boundaries are challenging because they involve follow up action. Not only do we have to do something different, we have to avoid the desire to over-explain, apologise, or rationalise our choices to another. We need to commit to our decided action (or inaction depending on the situation) and avoid the tendency to talk our way out of doing so. Sometimes this means communicating non-verbally through our actions.

You might also like to consider working with a holistic counsellor or therapist to help you establish boundaries.

I hope these tips have helped and you have a calm, relaxed festive season with your family and friends!
