What are they? Everything has a vibrational frequency [the rate at which energy vibrates = frequency]. Each vibrational frequency is unique to its origin. Flowers, crystals, animals, birds, planets, stars, angels, a person, light and places, all have their own unique vibrational frequencies. These frequencies can be imprinted onto water because water holds memory [see Messages from Water by Masariu Emoto] so, a huge variety of vibrational essences are born. If you are making an essence say of a daisy, it is such that no two essences of a daisy will ever be the same, each is unique. Why? Well as well as the vibrational frequency of the daisy you will also have the vibrational frequency of the place where it is made, the person who is making it, the time of day and year and whether it is potentized by the sun or moon. All of these things make a difference to the outcome of the essence. Thus no two essences are the same. When making flower essences, care is usually taken not to handle the flower. The essence once made, is usually preserved in brandy. Dis-eases, mental, emotional and physical, all also have a vibrational frequency. Fear being different to depression, anger different to joy for example. In this way there is a vibrational essence which matches the vibrational frequency of each and every nuance of the human condition. By taking an essence, the problem is brought to the fore so that it can be acknowledged and let go. This process can take just five seconds or as long as five weeks.

The History of Flower Essences. Flower essences have been a form of healing for a very long time. The channelling of Gerudas , a Lemurian guide, gives incredible insight and detailed knowledge about the uses of Flower Essences in Lemuria [see Flower Essences and Vibrational Healing by Gerudas , also Gem Elixirs and Vibrational Healing , Volumes 1 and 2 Cassandra press ] while yet more evidence suggests their use in Ancient Egypt. The Aborigines knew, as did the Lemurians, of the benefits of sitting beside a particular flower in order to receive its frequency of healing. The modern day expert, acknowledged to be the 'father' of flower essences is Edward Bach. Edward Bach was a renowned Harley street doctor who gave up his practice to develop flower essences. He observed that morning dew contains potentised healing virtues of the whole plant. He worked out what each of his essences were for by looking at the plant and instinctively knowing which emotional state the flower would heal. He also tried them himself. Today we understand that the collaboration of the etheric and spiritual world is required to make the essences. The Nature Spirit of the plant and the Devas of healing also impart the information and knowledge of what an essence is about by channelling. For my essence 'Water of Enlightenment ', the information was channelled through a medium from 'Star of Joseph'. At other times when I'm making flower essences the thoughts are put into my head. The Nature Spirits of the flower and the elementals of the water and sunlight all co-operate and work together to produce the essence.

What Flower and Vibrational Essences can Do for You. By taking an essence when you are in emotional turmoil, it is possible to help clear these problems from your aura and body. Another way of thinking about it is that your electrical circuitry is damaged by negative emotional energy. The essences help mend the circuitry by helping you to acknowledge the problem, embrace it and then let it go. Hence, negative emotional energy is expelled from your physical body and auric space. Essences often work by bringing or heightening our understanding of what might be wrong with us. You, yourself, have to be aware and watch for small signs and note how you feel. You often only know what you are, by knowing what you are not! There is a very talented clairvoyant called Peter Tadd who has written several articles. He is able to see where an essence goes in the aura and which chakras it has an effect upon when it is taken. He is therefore able to verify the action of each essence in this way. Essences can be given for all aspects of emotional problems. They can also be given to aid or heighten our mental capabilities such as concentration or the ability to absorb complex ideas. Our

The Different Types of Essences. This is a huge subject! There are essences now being made all over the world from all aspects of creation. I will list a few here, but there are far too many to list them all of the ones currently on the market. 1] The Wild Earth Animal Essences are produced by Daniel Mapey. He invokes the nature spirit or Deva of a particular animal in a ceremony to infuse its characteristics into the water. This has resulted in an incredible range of essences. They range from such diverse creatures as Butterfly to Dolphin, or Beaver to Elephant! They are well worth looking into. Merlin, in his instruction of Arthur, taught about the wisdom of animals and birds. These essences are the closest we can come to this experience, apart from meditation. 2] The Indigo Essences, which are combination for children, are mainly from crystals and are particularly appropriate for use at this time. Many Indigo Children have been born in the last fifty years and now we have the Crystal Children being born. They often need support and understanding and these essences are very helpful for these things. 3] Sun Essences [www.sunessences.co.uk] are one of the many producers who faithfully reproduce the original Bach essences. They also do a specific range for animals. 4] The Lightheart Essences, [www.lightheartessences.co.uk] is a very profound set of essences for every nuance of emotional strife. They are a good basic set, which are very powerful and far reaching. 5] There are essences made from trees, see Green man Tree Essences. There are essences made from sea creatures, angels, the moon, stars, ascended masters, and places. There are Alaskan, Pacific and Australian Bush essences. Findhorn produce a range and the list goes on! A very good and informative book which encompasses many of the U.K essences is 'New Vibrational Flower essences of Britain and Ireland' [waterlily]. This book goes up to 1997, so there are even more essences and essence makers now [including me!] Essences are currently being made into sprays, face creams and body lotions. You can put essences into your bath, under your pillow, or rub them into your skin. The conventional way is to take them by putting drops on your tongue or in your juice which many people prefer.

Safety Flower essences are safe, non-toxic and do not argue with conventional prescribed medicines. They are safe for animals and children. Their versatility and wide -range of applications, make them one of the futures self-help remedies.

So where Do I Begin? So, as a lay person who doesn't know anything, where and how would you start? I would suggest reading many profiles [explanations] of essences as you can. The ones that catch your eye or seam to 'jump-out' at you are the ones to buy and try. Bach's Rescue Remedy [or emergency essence as some people call it] is a good crisis essence to start with. Starting to use essences is an interesting journey of self-discovery and awareness. Why not give them a try? Good Luck!
