The Power of Flower Essences

By Gina Kearney

It is also important to recognize that we have an energetic body that can hold and store trauma and negative experiences. Often, when we cannot release these blockages, they manifest into physical dis-eases. 

Like humans, plants also have an energy or “signature .” According to Flower Essence Repertory, “Flower essence is not simply an extract of the substance in the blossom; it is a distillation of the wholebeing of the plant. It is at the moment of flowering that the highest soul-spiritual expression of the plant surfaces.” 

So, what are flower essences? Flower essences are part of “energy medicine”; they are liquid extracts that promote emotional well-being by working in our energetic field. They move stored trauma or blockages that may be holding us back from healing.

Flower essences are created using water, flowers, and alcohol (brandy).
