Flower essence therapy is a form of vibrational medicine. Vibrational medicine incorporates the use of chi energies within living organisms such as plants, gemstones and crystals, water, sunlight and even the foods we eat.
Anyone can make their own flower essences. Here’s how:
Tools and Supplies: Scissors, long tweezers, 2 quart glass bowl, glass saucer, distilled water, quart canning jars and lids, brandy.
Best time for collecting flowers: 8 – 10 am
A sunny day is a must in preparing flower essences.
Choose flowers a day a head of being fully open.
1. Sterilize your equipment by washing with hot soapy water. Be sure not to touch the inside surface of the bowl and jars after washing to insure the purity of the essence.
2. Decide how many flower heads are to be collected, generally 1-5.
3. Give thanks to the plant before you begin.
4. Collect the flower head by snipping them onto the glass saucer while being careful not to handle them. Touching them or sniffing them will alter the flower’s energy.
5. Remove the petals using scissors or tweezers. Allow the petals to fall onto the glass saucer without handling them with your hands.
6. Lift the petals one by one and place them in the bowl of water so that each petal touches the water surface. The petals will float. Shake loose all the stamen before hand.
7. Place the bowl in direct sunlight outdoors.
8. Give a request to the nature spirits for the healing properties of the flowers to be treated by the sunlight. This begins the process of releasing the flower’s energy into the water.
9. Allow the grounding process to take place by leaving the bowl in sunlight for approximately 3 hours.
10. Fill two quart canning jars with about 1/2 brandy. This ratio can be adjusted to your liking but no more than 50% brandy.
11. Fill the remainder of the jars with the solarized flower solution.
12. Secure the jar with a clean lid and label with the name of the flower and the date.
This makes a mother tincture bottle. You can further dilute this to dosage bottles as needed.
