Sign up to keep abreast... A Brief Introduction to Flower Essences   What are Flower Essences? Dilute liquid water infused stabilized with the energy pattern (vibration) of flowers chosen for their unique abilities to heal the human energy system The flower, being the highest manifestation of the plant, is used for the essence to which it imparts its resonance and etheric imprint When ingested or introduced to into the energy field, it holds its vibrational resonance and raises the resonance of the auric bodies, clearing them of negativity, which then leads to the clearing of the physical body Flower essences are most known and understood to work with the emotional and mental bodies Common issues people use flower essences for include: Depression Addictive/compulsive behavior Grief recovery Stress Anxiety and panic attacks Anger release Attention Learning and memory Trauma and abuse Flower essences support us to extend our consciousness beyond its present state and understand our emotions and inner soul urgings The Ethnobotanist Beat Flower Essences and the Shadow Psyche In addition to the many ailments (PTSD, depression, anxiety, forgetfulness, fear, grief) correlated to a specific origin (such as a remembered trauma) that can be addressed with flower essences, there are also many discomforts - derived from unknown sources - which can be also healed by flower essences. Our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs are an aspect of our free will and a command to the universe. The tricky part is our commands may originate in our shadow selves, or what is also called the unexplored psyche. In other words, we can actively be creating our realities (good and bad) - not just from our conscious mind - but from our shadow selves. You may be creating from your unexplored psyche if you are experiencing the same traumatic situation or illness repeatedly and have no idea of why.  A belief you hold, but have not explored (or even identified) may be sending a signal to the universe that you do not deserve health and wellness and peace. It could be simple shadow thoughts such as “When I’m sick I get more attention” or “I don’t deserve radiant health”. Your conscious mind may have zero knowledge of this shadow belief. In fact, if someone asked you if you believed that about yourself, your first response would probably be “No”. So how do flower essences play into free will on earth? Flowers essences work on the spiritual (unseen) level. Before anything becomes a physical reality it is a spiritual idea or thought. It can be your own thought or an intergenerational (passed down through your family. I believe many disease such as breast cancer are related to intergenerational thoughts and beliefs as much as physical genetics) or even a belief you picked from the media.   The point is, whatever you are thinking or feeling (both consciously and unconsciously) you are projecting into the world. Eventually, you will create a physical reality from those emotional or intellectual projections and they may return to as a surprise or with discomfort or confusion (the latter is true, especially if they were created by a shadow subconscious belief). A flower essence can help to remedy discord, even if we have no idea how it was created. I believe flowers are the highest vibration of the Goddess aspect of God in the plant kingdom. A flower essence is the energy of the flower imprinted in water. I also like to compare flowers to angels; angels we access with all of our senses. Like angels, flowers maintain a high frequency. They are constitutional stable regardless of their environment. The energy of rose or lilac or dandelion maintains its healing aspects no matter where they are immersed. Lucky for us, rose remains rose even when introduced to discord in our energy fields. Both the beauty and challenge of the earth plane is free will. Flower essences can help us counteract or more deeply understand or unveil message of free will – both conscious and unconscious. A pendulum or muscle testing for the right flower essence is often recommended as the flowers sometimes have a broader understanding of our ailments and of our free will creations! At Milagro Herbs we will be introducing a whole new line of flower essences at our new store at 1500 Fifth St Unit 6. Please come by for a consultation or to browse our essences which will be on the shelves by August 4 (also please see the accompany Introduction to Flower Essence article in this newsletter).   Blessings, Jane Copyright © *|CURRENT_YEAR|* *|LIST:COMPANY|*, All rights reserved. *|IFNOT:ARCHIVE_PAGE|* *|LIST:DESCRIPTION|* Our mailing address is: *|HTML:LIST_ADDRESS_HTML|* *|END:IF|* Want to change how you receive these emails?
