Flower essences are solutions of flower-infused water and a preservative, usually brandy or vinegar. A specific number of flowers are picked just as they are approaching first full bloom, placed in a bowl with purified water and left in the sun for several hours. This leaves an energetic signature or pattern in the flower water. The energy patterns facilitate healing, depending upon their purpose, for humans, animals, plants and land areas.
Developed between 2000 and 2001, the Earth Essences are intended for clearing and balancing environments. They pertain to the soil, atmosphere, water, insects, plants, aspects of land, buildings and nature’s rhythms. Each remedy is made from a specific plant plus and energetic infusion from the creation level of nature.
The essences work through resonance. Simply, all form is energy, energy is vibrational and there are many different vibrations in the world, like notes and arrangements of notes in a piece of music. Each essence in the Earth Essences set carries a specific vibration: they convey the evolving archetypal energies of soil, water, plants, insects, etc. They are what things are in their source pattern state. Because of the current pressures on Earth, such as heavy population, compromised ecological organisms and systems, ill-health of plants, animals, humans, many life forms on Earth are not vibrating at the frequency level of their true or full patterning. When a plant, for example, is able to connect to its archetypal pattern, it begins aligning to a better state of balance, of life force. This in turn positively impacts all around it.
Truly a gift from nature, the essences work to move form into its authentic state, orienting the forms being consciously addressed to their proper patterns.
Several things begin to happen in this process. The essences serve as a bridge to align the level of archetypal design with the level of nature that works to maintain form. A bridge is also created between these levels and the person working with the essences, to facilitate conscious communication and participation with nature and the evolutionary spiritual impulses shaping life on Earth. The forms receiving the essences themselves will begin to embody a higher state of life organization and vitality.
Creation of the essences has been supported naturally through the Field and Flower garden, with the overall intention that everything that is a part of the garden is to become fully itself. This garden exists within my small farm and is a fulcrum for healing all that lives on the farm. Reverence for life and empathetic observation is the foundation of the work that allows the living realities behind the forms of nature to become communicable in my consciousness. It is beyond an ordinary sense perception or intellectual faculty and is a capability inherent to every human soul.
Communication, observation and working with the essences is an ongoing, expanding process. Insights and thoughts, as well as perceptible events and changes occur through this dynamic process. Acknowledgment of what has occurred serves as a signal to the nature and cosmic intelligences the awareness of what is happening (or not!) and so moves us into the next learning. What I just described is a universal process, though everyone’s experiences will pertain to their individuality.
What I have learned about these essences is not only do they work to balance my land, garden, home and all the organisms that dwell here, the patterns they establish assist me too, in becoming truly myself. I am able to perceive with more clarity and trust what needs to be done, interacting with nature and my life in a more beneficial, flowing and reciprocal way. The experience has brought increased life vitality, peace and well-being to the world I live in. It carries beyond the farm’s boundaries and positively impacts the whole.
It is a time on Earth when all life forms need to awaken and fully express the divine energy in matter, to move beyond the distortions and limitations that interefere with this expression (pollution, radiation, toxins, human negligence/unconsciousness).
As with all living realities, the Earth Essences work and unfold over time, weaving with the evolutionary timing and purpose of the individual using them, human free will retains its autonomy. The essences are inclusive of other balancing practices, whether you are working with Biodynamics, Feng Shui or any other conscious form/evolution energy work. More information on using the essences and descriptions of their activity range is provided in the individual essence solution details.
Listed to the left are the Essences and their individual functions. You may have questions about their general use and application and will find this information following the descriptions, in the Suggested Use section. Concepts such as visualization, focal points and other terms that appear in the descriptive section are explained there.
There are 10 Earth Essences: Earth in Balance, Atmosphere, Soil, Plants, Insect, Water, Dance of Balance, Stability, Becoming and Protection.
