The abundance of the plant world provides flowers, leaves and roots that transform into the healing medicines of flower essences, tinctures, salves, hydrosols, and more.

Let me introduce my friends…

I make essences of the flowers on our land, listening to them, attuning to them, and the qualities that they offer.

Each of these flowers offers itself, its essence, its healing presence to those that accept and resonate with the plants’ offer to share. The plants’ groundedness and consistency of earth-based consciousness makes their offer to share with humankind very appealing and important.

These essences are a gift from nature to assist us to reestablish harmony, flow, and to strengthen in us the specific qualities and gifts that the plant spirit has offered.

Each plant and flower, like each person, has many characteristics, aspects and qualities that stand out at different times, in different situations with different people. While there are constant themes for a particular essence, in another time and place, with another person, a flower or plant may emphasize other attributes, as any friend does.

As the essence of a flower quietly, gently calls, and makes its presence known to you, take a few moments to listen to its loving beauty and partake of and share in the life giving, healing energies.

What Are Flower Essences?

Flower essences are subtle, yet powerful allies to invite into your life to assist your consciousness in awakening to your true spirit and sunlight. Flower essences, liquid solutions made from the flowers of a plant, carry the essential vibratory energy pattern of the plant. Each flower essence is a unique pattern of energy that embodies the specific attributes of the plant species.

How Do Flower Essences Work?

Each plant sings its vibratory note, carrying its qualities into the atmosphere, contributing to the symphony of the whole. When you interact with a flower essence, you are inviting the spirit of the essence to meet and influence your spirit. The essence of a flower meets your essence, your spirit. The essences of plants and flowers resonate in your body at a subtle level, touching the energetic patterns of your emotional and mental bodies.

As you open yourself to a flower’s beauty, the same qualities that the flower embodies, awaken in you. Whether or not you are aware of this interaction and relationship, the essence will gently nudge and influence your spirit, eventually bringing to light and dissolving the patterns not in harmony with your spirit. The essences won’t force you to give up your separateness and accept their gifts. They are a soft gentle presence waiting for an opening to join with you.

As your spirit is touched by the essence of the flower’s resonant beauty and qualities, your own essential matching energies are highlighted and brought to the foreground of your being. Their special qualities and patterns of light create a powerful opportunity to dissolve the learned patterns which are no longer in harmony with your nature.

Following are brief descriptions of the flower essence qualities.
Just as with people, the essences have many additional qualities that may emerge at times, depending on when and with whom they are interacting.
