Our essences are made with reverence & dedication, prayerfully.
They are dedicated to the spirits & devas of the Natural world who direct & protect the work, & the Masters who oversee it.
These benign and non-invasive energetic tools are taking a place complementing and augmenting conventional healing techniques, and enabling a safe, more powerful, subtle and unique healing for us all....
*WHAT ARE ESSENCES?
Water is used to hold the vibration, the energetic essence of a flower, gem, time or place, or some other living thing. Vibrational Essences are a bit like homeopathic remedies, which also use water to hold the essence of a substance.
*WHAT IS IN THEM?
Inside the bottle of essence is pure Australian spring water, some Australian brandy to act as a preservative, and the essence or essential energy or vibration of the original energy. There is no physical part of the flower (or whatever) contained in the essence, no gross matter. Water is a unique substance, which can carry the imprint of very fine energies within it.
*HOW DO THEY WORK?
God alone knows, but they do. No rational explanation seems satisfactory somehow. They convey the energy of the flower, or gem, into the energy field, or aura, of the person who takes them. This essential energy then does its healing work. I believe they have the power to change your life.
*HOW ARE THEY MADE?
The conventional method of making flower essences is to use sunlight (though Bach also used other sources of heat) to transfer the essential vibration of the flower to pure water. This energised water is then a mother tincture, and this is used to make higher potencies of essences.
*I DON'T WANT BRANDY, CAN I STILL USE ESSENCES?
Certainly. When you order, just tell us, and we will make up essences without brandy. This may reduce the time for which you can keep them, though. Normally, they keep more or less indefinitely.
*WHAT IS STOCK & DOSE?
DOSE strength is used most commonly. Combination essences are of Dose strength.
A drop of STOCK added to up to 10 ml of pure spring water or a solution of spring water and brandy (proportions 3:1) makes DOSE strength.
If you are using an essence often then it may be economical for you to buy stock strength, which will make many, many doses.
STOCK strength is useful for more physically manifest conditions, and the more dilute it is, the higher the potency is said to become.
*HOW DO I USE THEM?
There are no strict rules. There are specific suggestions for application on each essence page.
Here are some suggestions:
. Place a few drops on the relevent chakra point.
· apply topically : drops can be applied to the skin, (wrists, temples, stomach) whatever is convenient. This may be especially useful for babies, for animals, for anyone who is unconscious, or who may otherwise feel unable to take drops orally.
· add drops to food and/or drink.
· add drops to your bath.
· add drops to water to bathe injuries.
· use in a spray, or atomiser.
*HOW MUCH DO I USE?
There are no strict rules. A dose is a few drops, one to three drops seems adequate.
If you are adding essences to a spray with water, or to your bath, still, only a few drops seems to be adequate.
*HOW OFTEN CAN I USE THEM?
As often or infrequently as suits you.
For example, if you are using an essence or combination for meditation, use the essence before you meditate.
Or, for example, if you feel a cold coming on, and are taking Gelsemium and Holy Sweet to fight it off, take this whenever you feel your symptoms are getting worse again. So, as you improve, you use the essences less frequently. Be alert to your condition, and use the essences accordingly.
*HOW DO I MAKE A SPACE SPRAY?
(AND WHY WOULD I WANT TO?)
Use a spray bottle, or atomiser, and fill it with pure spring water. Add a few drops of stock or dose strength remedy. The proportions are not crucial, but about a drop for every 10 - 20 ml of water is fine.
You can add a few drops of an appropriate essential oil also, if you wish.
Use this to spray a room in your house, your office, or wherever you need it. Practitioners often use essences this way to keep their working environment ‘clear and clean’ of negative energetic influences. This is a particularly useful method of application when you are dealing with a group dynamic, for example, family (dis-) harmony, or a group of people working or learning together, or a household in mourning or shock - or for a party or group celebration or meditation.
*WHAT KIND OF THINGS ARE ESSENCES USEFUL FOR?
The short answer is - anything. There is an essence for just about any cause or condition. They can be useful for conditions of the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual body. They can be used for one-off situations, eg meditation, in which case you might tuse the dose when you are practising the activity.
They can be used for acute conditions, eg panic, asthma attack, shock, (INSTANT CALMER is great for all these) in which case you would take the remedy frequently, every five or ten minutes, until the symptoms subside.
They can be used for chronic conditions, eg grief, or 're-wiring', in which case you might take two or three doses per day, for as long as necessary, but generally a couple of weeks. After this, you might want to reassess your situation as symptoms change, and perhaps adjust the combination you are taking.
See our SUGGESTIONS FOR USE page.
*YOU DON'T HAVE A COMBINATION WHICH MATCHES MY CIRCUMSTANCES, WHAT DO I DO?
Write to us, using the order form, explaining the symptoms you suffer, or the purpose you want the remedy for. We will make a combination remedy specially for you, and send it mail order.
See the SPECIAL COMBINATIONS page.
*CAN I TAKE MORE THAN ONE ESSENCE AT A TIME?
Certainly. Think of it a bit like cooking- and focus on the kind of 'meal' you are making. Resist the temptation to take everything at once! It can be hard! Take a group which seem to support each other, with maybe an odd one for 'piquancy'! Usually less than six at a time is adequate.
You might want to use one daily, (eg Golden Lotus) and others more frequently.
*ARE THEY SAFE?
Vibrational essences are completely safe to use. They do not have adverse effects if taken while on courses of conventional medication, and, in my experience, they are not adversely affected by the use of strong flavours or scents in the diet or environment. Their action is balancing, so that should you take an essence which is not appropriate for you, then the essence will have no effect: you cannot overdose with essences.
*CAN ANYONE USE THEM?
Yes. There are no counter-indications with essences. Since they are an energetic healing tool they may be used by people who: are on other, conventional, medication; suffer from allergies; have dietary intolerances.
They are perfectly safe for children and babies, (try a drop on their tummy), and animals respond very well to them.
Some essences are particularly suited to children.
*I DON'T BELIEVE IN ESSENCES, AND VIBRATIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
That's OK. They can work for you anyway.They work very well for children and for animals, for example, who don't 'believe in' or understand what they are taking. These are not 'faith healing' remedies.
