What are Flower Essences?

Flower essences are a remarkably powerful tool for support through emotional states ~ from everyday stresses, to life’s big transitions, to deeply held trauma. They are wonderfully easy to use, which makes them the ideal tool for self-support for everyday stresses and challenges. When used with the guidance of an experienced practitioner, they act on a deep level to shift deep emotional states—such depression, anxiety, overwhelm, and fear—and address long-held trauma.

How does it work?

We work together to identify the visible layer of emotions that are in need of support and create a personalized remedy mixture. As feelings change and underlying states are unveiled, the remedy mix is updated. In this way, the you are gently supported through a shift towards a healthier and more connected emotional state.

FAQ

  • We all know what first-aid for our bodies looks like. How about first-aid for our feelings? The Bach Flower Remedy system offers a simple and accessible system that's easy to learn and administer to yourself and your family when needed. Alana offers education sessions to help you learn to use these tools on your own. It’s empowering to have something on hand to deal with emotional challenges as they occur so that you can move through them quickly!

  • Start by looking closely at the emotional discomfort that you wish to shift. Just this action alone is a powerful step to take because we usually look away from our pain rather than straight at it. Can you identify the uncomfortable feeling that you are experiencing? When you do, ask yourself if there is a deeper layer behind it. Keep asking until you identify the most foundational feeling that you can see, then select the remedy that matches that state. Remember to approach yourself with curiosity and compassion!

  • Feeling like you have so much on your plate that you can’t get anything done? Try some Elm. Mind racing a mile a minute? Grab the WhiteChestnut. Feeling a vague sense of anxiety and foreboding? The quaking Aspen is the one. Fears attached to something you can name (such as flying or spiders)? Mimulus is your flower!

  • Flower essences and therapy are a match made in heaven, each amplifying the effect of the other. Therapy can put you in touch with challenging feelings, which makes identifying the most supportive flower essence an easy job. Taking that essence helps you integrate those feelings, moving you through the process of therapy more quickly, and with a powerful tool for self-support between sessions.

  • You may have seen Rescue Remedy in your local health food store because it is the most well-known of the Bach Flower Remedies. It is not a single remedy but a combination of five that was specially formulated by Dr. Bach for emergency situations when there is not sufficient time for selecting remedies. The flowers in the mix cover the most common reactions that people experience during a crisis situation. This is a wonderful support during emergencies, and can also reduce the chance of moving forward with trauma from these experiences.

  • Alana uses a combination of Bach Flower Remedies from England, Australian Bush Flower Essences, and Findhorn Flower Essences from Scotland. These systems differ in their approaches, and between them cover a range of care, from supporting everyday emotional challenges to addressing deeper and more complex layers of personal and spiritual growth.
