What are Flower Essences?

Flower essences are a subtle extract of the unique vibration of a flower.    Each bottle of flower essences contains an energetic imprint of the flower, which has been obtained through a sun infusion process of the whole flower(s).    They are not an extract of essential oils, or the scent of the flower.       Flower essences address the emotions, and in doing so may promote physical balance.      Flower essences are part of a group of remedies known as Vibrational Remedies, or Vibrational Medicine.  

What are Flower Essences used for and how do they work?

Flower Essences are used to bring balance and harmony to our emotions, and in so doing, we may notice changes in ourselves physically, emotionally and spiritually.  

They work uniquely with the human energy fields, to change negative beliefs and thought patterns, to release energy blocks, and bring about attitudinal changes which promote health and well-being on all levels.      They assist personal growth and facilitate spiritual development.     In his book Vibrational Medicine Dr Richard Gerber writes that flower essences “utilise the energetic storage properties of water to transfer a frequency-specific, information-bearing quantum of subtle energy to the patient in order to effect healing at various levels of functioning.   The actual essence is the electromagnetic pattern of the plant form.”   

Every one of us has the potential for perfection, although each of us may perceive that perfection differently.    Rose Flower Essences unlock our potential and help us to transform our emotions, attitudes and behaviour patterns, acting as catalysts to propel us towards our perfection.  

All thought and emotion creates energy which resides in our aura or human energy field.    Using a Flower Essence introduces the vibration of the flower into our energy field,  which then allows us to resonate in harmony with the qualities of the flower.     Our self-imposed limitations begin to dissolve, and our dis-harmonies  begin to come into balance.  

Flower Essences work in our aura.    We are able to accurately measure the physical effect of flower essences on a person’s energy field, by using dowsing rods, because the effect is immediate, dramatic and demonstrable.     However, the effect of the rose flower essences on a person’s emotions and personality are more subtle, and can usually be detected within a week, sometimes as little as one or two days.     The manner in which  the essences work, depends very much on the individual essence, and the individual person, and how they have taken the essence. 

How Avalon Rose Flower Essences are made

Each of the Avalon Rose Flower Essences has been made with great care and love, using rose blooms from carefully selected organically grown rose bushes.

The process of making the essences involves a special communion with the natural energies, and the “consciousness” of the rose kingdom, and other elements.  

The essences are made in crystal bowls from distilled water and the relevant gemstone/crystal/mineral, generally in a sun infusion process (although moon infusion has produced some very special essences), through colour transparencies, which also help to transfer the Ray colour to the water.  

Prior to bottling, the Flower Essences the sound of the Ray is transferred to the essence, by toning.       Reiki symbols and Reiki healing energies are then added.     When bottled, the Flower Essences are mixed with a preservative.    This forms the Mother Tincture.   Stock essences  are drawn from the Mother Tincture, diluted and further preserved.      Alcohol is used as the standard preservative, although an alcohol free range is available on request.  

The blooms used are then reverently returned to the donor rose, along with any excess infused water.  

"Do not mourn a dying Rose.   I die, yet I live, for am I not also the Rose in the garden, all Roses in all gardens, all Roses in all vases!"

Are Flower Essences safe to use?

Because flower essences have such  minute traces of physical substance, other than the preservative, it is extremely unlikely that any physical side-effects would be experienced.   They are totally safe, free from side effects and adjust to the needs of the individual taking the essence.        They are even safe to use for infants, or immediately prior to and immediately after surgery, or in conjunction with radium- or chemo- therapies.

If a totally inappropriate essence is selected, it simply will have very little effect. 

We generally recommend that the essences be taken singly, if using the essences for personal development, so that all the issues relating to that essence can be worked through, and the positive qualities of that essence be securely anchored before moving on to the next essence.   

Selecting a Flower Essence

A variety of methods may be employed to select the flower essence/s most appropriate for the individual.     Flower Essences will be very effective as the only modality used, however, they will also be effective to support other modalities, especially between healing/treatment sessions.  

Kinesiology or muscle testing may be employed to test whether the body/soul will accept the flower essence at that particular time, however, to avoid having to test all of the essences to select the one which may be most appropriate, the choice can be narrowed down, before using kinesiology to confirm the selection.  

Essences are probably best selected in a counselling/consultative process with a practitioner, or by sensitive self-examination, where discussion/examination of the positive and negative aspects of each essence are viewed in relation to particular personality issues which the subject or self may wish to work on.  

Keep in mind that the positive aspects to be developed should be emphasised, rather than negative aspects or issues for clearing.    As Dr Edward Bach wrote in his book Heal Thyself  “To struggle against a fault increases its power, keeps our attention riveted on its presence, and brings us a battle indeed, and the most success we can then expect is conquest by suppression…..To forget the failing and consciously strive to develop the virtue which would make the former impossible, this is true victory.”  

Rose Flower Essence cards are another appropriate method of selecting essences, and are available from the Product ordering section. (Instructions for use are included.)  

Using Flower Essences

Rose Flower Essences may be effectively taken in a variety of ways, for example, they can be taken as drops under the tongue, or rubbed on the skin, or sprayed through the aura.      It is best not to mix them with hot water, so adding to a bath is not recommended, as they lose their life-force in a very short time in hot water.     The essences are best taken consciously, being very aware of the positive personality quality being encouraged.     They need to be taken consistently.     From our research, we have measured that four or five drops, four times a day for three weeks, when combined with affirmations, meditation and other supportive measures is usually enough to bring about personality change.
