I love the healing power of flower essences and over the years often turned to Bach Flower Remedies. However, recently I came across Saskia's Flower Essences and was delighted when Saskia, who was florist to HRH Prince of Wales before she began making flower essences in 2003, sent me three bottles of her combination essences to try. They arrived beautifully presented in a box with a pretty gift card and informative booklet. It was nothing short of amazing how I immediately felt surrounded by the love and positive energy of the essences. Flowers and plants have a unique vibrational energy which is held as a memory in water. By extracting the essence of a flower, it is possible to capture that energy, then use it to tune up our own energy. When you take a flower essence suited to you, it helps shift negative thought and behaviour patterns and can assist with all sorts of things including unblocking creativity, organising your thoughts and helping make your ideas reality. Saskia supplies single essences, combination essences and sprays which are just the ticket for helping clear unwanted energies surrounding us. Not sure which to buy? The combination essences are the easiest to choose because their names to make it simple to decide which ones you need. For example, 'Breathe Deep, Seek Peace' is for winding down. Ideal for those, like me, who have trouble sleeping and find it hard to relax. 'Calm and Confident' helps with challenging situations, to see you through those times you struggle outside your comfort zone. 'Emotional Relief' is for when life just gets too much while 'Focus, Energise, Create' speaks for itself! They are taken orally by dropping a small amount of the essence under your tongue. and some of these amazing essences ...... want to feel safe and protected? try WiLD GARLIC can't see a way out of your present situation? try MORNING GLORY think your creativity and self-confidence could do with a boost? try BUTTERCUP want to be more effective? try DANDELION scared to make changes? try TWAYBLADE Here are some things you might not know about flower essences How they are made Saskia makes her remedies in the traditional way by infusing the flowering part in the sun. This involves putting the flowers in spring water and allowing the sunlight to transfer the vibration of the flower into the water. Essences are not the same thing as essential oils When making essences, the flower’s energy imprint is captured rather than a physical part of the flower, which is how they differ from essential oils. Unlike essentials too, they have no aroma. Essential oils take a massive amount of plant material to make and are steam distilled to extract the aromatic compounds. They are highly concentrated so have to be used with care. It takes about 10-20 flowers to make around 10,000 bottles of flower essence and they are completely safe for all ages. Essences work with our emotions Flower essences help us tune back to our true selves. They bring awareness to learned behaviour and thought patterns and support us as they help us release negative patterns. Pendulum dowsing can be a precise way to find the right flower essences It takes the conscious thinking out of the process, reaches the underlying problem and which flower essences might help with that. A bit like human relationships, flower essences are subjective in their action and dowsing bypasses preconceived ideas about what the essence will help with and which essences we think we need. Flower Essences are safe for everyone to take Flower essences can be taken by everyone, babies, animals and you can give them to your plants too. As they contain the energy of a plant they don’t act on a physical level, so are also completely safe to take if you are on any kind of medication. Flower Essences have been used for thousands of years Indigenous people drank the dew that collected on flowers for their well-being and there is evidence existing for their use in ancient Egypt, amongst the Celtic Druids and the Aborigines of Australia. If you have never used flower essences before and can't make your mind up which to try for your particular needs, email Saskia . She will be delighted to hear from you.
