A friend of mine is having fabulous experiences making Flower Essences with her 7 year old daughter and I wanted to share some her stories with you.
First you may ask, what is a Flower Essence? It is the essence of a flower held in vibrational suspension in pure water and preserved with brandy. It is generally placed in a 1oz. dropper bottle and taken a few drops at a time under the tongue or in water.
But it is the essences part that is so fascinating and delves into the realms of how well the Plant Spirits know what is needed just for you.
When my friend first started sharing how to make flower essences with her daughter she was quite taken aback by the sense of authority that her daughter exhibited on the subject! She seemed to have no trouble communicating with the Plant Spirits at all. She knew exactly which flowers to pick and how long they needed to be in the sun and of course, the name of the essences rolled of her tongue with out the slightest hesitation.
Her first experience was on a week-end camping trip around a lovely lake. She immediately spied the lilies in the middle of the water and wanted to be taken out in her inner tube to choose which flowers wanted to create an essence for her. She carefully picked the ones she was guided to, brought them back and put them in a bowl of water placed in the sun. When it was time to go she demanded they be put in a jar because they needed more sun. At home she placed them on the railing of the porch. Her mom thought she had forgotten all about them, but a little while later she came back up the steps, focused on the jar and declared, ”Mom, the essence is ready and its name is JOY!”
Another time they were out in their garden where there was a profusion of blossoms and she asked her daughter if she should make an essence from them. The reply was an emphatic “NO you can’t!” Nevertheless my friend was still drawn to the flowers and approached them again sans daughter. This time she heard in her head…”You need to listen to your daughter!” She turned to go but then heard, “But wait, that is the essence we have for you. It’s called CONNECTION and it’s about listening on a soul level to what your daughter has to say.”
The other day she watched as her daughter approached her beautiful red geraniums in full boom and worried, just for a moment that her daughter was going to pick them. She let that go and watched as her daughter passed them by. So she called out, “It’s okay to pick them, honey,” to which her daughter replied, “Oh no, they said not to.”
To me these are beautiful stories of how the Plant Spirits are here to assist us in our evolution, and, healing emotional issues is certainly a part of that. So I hope that you will all go out at this glorious time of year when flowers are all in bloom and ask for some advice on what ails you. Believe me as one of my clients said, “This isn’t small talk, is it?” And yet the advice is always gentle and sometimes comical, making you laugh at yourself, of course!
