Why Use Flower Essences for Mother and Baby?

What are flower essences?
Have you ever looked at a flower or tree and felt the magic of your connection with it? It’s as if the flower or tree exudes a Divine wisdom that touches us deeply. You might experience the connection as a magnetic draw, strong thought, mental image or a feeling. Flower essences are this unique vibrational pattern, this Divine wisdom of each plant imprinted into water, which becomes a non-aromatic, high frequency electrical solution.

Humans are complex electrical/vibrational beings. We have an electrical system within and surrounding our bodies that couples with our nervous and circulatory systems, subtle bodies and chakras. When there are no breaks in the circuits of our electrical system, we experience health and balance. But when the circuits in our electrical system are stressed from the learning opportunities of our daily life, they can sometimes overload, short-circuit or shut down. The places where the electrical flow has been broken become cut off from the life force energy needed to maintain physical, emotional, mental and spiritual balance, often leading to illness. When flower essences are used, they reconnect the broken circuits. Thus they address the causes beneath the symptoms, in a non-invasive, subtle, yet powerful way.

How are flower essences used?
Flower essences are most commonly taken orally from the dropper. However, they can also be very effective when used on the skin, in drinking water, in bath water, in a spray mist, or on food. Flower essences support our life, learning and healing processes and can be used with any healing modality for humans, animals, plants, land and the larger system we call our environment.

When are flower essences helpful?
Flower essences are helpful whenever you feel physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually out of balance. This could be when you slam your finger in the door, you feel like you are getting a cold, or have a major illness. It could be when an emotion has you in its grip and you can’t break loose, when you can’t stop thinking the same self-critical thought, or when it is a challenge to be present, embodied or to relate to this Earth plane. Flower essences can help keep us balanced and moving forward during times of transition such as job changes, a new relationship or the passing of a loved one.

The surge of hormones during our pregnancy is responsible for a variety of emotional ups and downs as well as physical symptoms and disturbances.

What is Aromatherapy?
Aromatherapy has been used for millennia and is a very good compliment to flower essences. Essential oils, the most well known form of aromatherapy, are distilled or pressed from the plant. They work through the emotional subtle body and parts of the brain where impressions of emotions are held. From there the healing qualities influence our mind, body and spirit. We use only the highest quality essential oils.

What are Bach flower essences?
Dr. Bach was a renowned physician in London who in 1930 gave up his practice to devote all of his time to the search for a new method of healing. He went in search of healing plants in the countryside. One by one, he discovered 38 remedies, each prepared from a different plant. The discovery took him over six years to complete. Each remedy he discovered is for a different emotion, mood or personality. The Bach Flower Essences are made 100% naturally from spring water infused with wild flowers, either by the sun steeping method or by boiling. The essences are hand produced exclusively in England without the aid of mechanical devices.

Dr. Edward Bach wrote "Disease is solely and purely corrective; it is neither vindictive nor cruel, but it is the means adopted by our own souls to point out to us our faults, to prevent our making greater errors, to hinder us from doing more harm, and to bring us back to the path of Truth and Light from which we should never have strayed."
