Twentieth-century mystic and seer Rudolf Steiner once opined that there is remarkable healing potential latent in flowers that will one day be recognized and understood. More than a century later, herbalists are increasingly appreciating how true this observation really is.
Flower Essences are medicines derived from the unique vibrational imprints inherent in individual flowers. Think of it this way: each flower contains within itself a characteristic life force that is unique to the individual flower and to the location it was collected. Each essence is different, and these subtle variations are dependent on factors such as practitioner capability, time and location of collection, and amplification techniques employed.
Flower essences are vibrational remedies that work to shift states of awareness and underlying beliefs. At the surface level, flower essences may work to increase confidence, amplify mood, and enter into creative states more readily. And at a deeper level, flower essences appear to help aid in the removal and/or dissolution of ‘parasitic’ or intrusive thought forms. While this is an ongoing field of personal investigation, anecdotal and individual experience gives credence to the idea that some cases of obsessive rumination and spiraling thoughts may indicate the need to rid oneself of external attachments.
New thought philosophers and magickal practitioners alike have long held the view that thoughts have creative power. And if given enough time and mental energy, those thoughts may seem to take on a life of their own, manifesting as anything from dark downturns in mood and countenance to mysterious, unexplained illness. When stuck in such a ‘spiral,’ it may be helpful to seek a tool such as flower essences; when used this way, essences are highly specific to the individual. When effectively used, flower essences may be a tool to break-free from severely limiting thoughts and belief, allowing oneself to reset and experience profound paradigm shifts regarding who they are and how they relate to the world.
They say that ‘seeing is believing,’ and I am certainly a believer after flower essences helped me remove a parasitic thought form that had been affecting me for 20
