How do Flower Essences work?
The theory behind the use of the Bach flower essences is each of the flowers embodies a particular soul energy (or energy frequency). When an individual resists that quality an energy blockage forms so that s/he is out of touch with that aspect of his/her fundamental nature. In Dr. Bach’s own words: The action of these Essences is to raise our vibrations and open up our channels for the reception of the Spiritual Self, to flood our natures with the particular virtue we need, and wash out from us the fault that is causing the harm. Modern physics has known for nearly a century that matter and consciousness are intertwined. We expect that during this century medical science will develop ways of studying the impact of consciousness on health, and we will learn more about the ways in which flower essences work. Until then, practitioner case studies and reports will remain the primary source of knowledge about how flower essences work.
To understand how flower essences work requires a recognition that the human being is more than a physical body, but also incorporates a “body” of life energy, a “body” of sensitivity and feelings, and a spiritual essence or Self. Flower essences are energetic imprints of the life force of plants which interact with these subtle bodies of the human being, and evoke specific qualities within us. We can say that they work in a similar way to inspirational music or art, which carry meaning through the vehicle of sound or light, while the flower essences work through the medium of water. Modern physics has known for nearly a century that matter and consciousness are intertwined. However, medical science still generally works with a nineteenth century model of the human being as a mechanism in a world of machines. We expect that in the coming century medical science will develop ways of studying the impact of consciousness on health, and we will learn more about the ways in which flower ess
Essences don’t give us something we don’t already have. We like to think of them of them as reminding of us of what we already know….connecting us to what we have always possessed, accentuating our innate abilities. Often, this means fostering awareness of what is out of balance. It may mean the empowerment of hidden strengths or gifts which create inventive solutions to our problems. Or our resident healing abilities may become freed so they can do their miraculous work. Flower essences work on subtle ‘unseen’ levels to gently re-establish balance and peace of mind within us. The essences cover many negative emotional and mental states that afflict humankind. They work by infusing us with the positive qualities that we lack rather than by suppressing the disturbance. They help us to release blockages which may be hindering growth and offer us opportunities to learn more about ourselves. They help us to flow more with life, rather than fight against it.

Flower essences move & expand throughout your emotional energy system, uplifting and transforming areas of discord. They help to release the past where the blockage or discord occurred and bring you into the present moment. Being in the present moment allows you to see the truth about yourself and your life, giving you a new perspective and an opportunity to make a new choice about whatever was blocking you so you can move forward. Flower essences lead to a better quality of life through better choices.
