Flower Essences for Evolutionary Healing and Spiritual Growth
Flowers have been used for thousands of years for healing purposes. Flowers utilized at the essence level are a treatment for all of the layers of our energetic system, not just the physical body. It is useful to remember that we are just 5% physical body and 95% energetic body. This includes the chakra system outside the body that is like an antenna, reaching up into the cosmos, tuning to different frequencies.
In the practice of making flower essences for healing purposes, nothing physical is transferred into the solution. The actual essence is the electromagnetic pattern of the flower. Just as there are nutritional elements found in the plants useful for the health of the physical body, so in turn are there patterns of bio-magnetic energises discharged by the flowers on other frequency levels for the health of various energetic layers of your body's energy system.
If you were to take a Kirlian photography during the process of extracting a flower essence into a bowl of purified water you would see a mist-like imprint of the flower with small trailings of light moving into the water. In this process, you are working with the ethereal vibration of the plant, its life force, its etheric imprint.
It is fascinating to learn that these flower essences 'travel at a slightly faster than the speed of light' as they move from the physical body into other levels of the energy field. This process is greatly enhanced if the flower essence is stabilized in something other than alcohol. Red Shiso is an excellent vehicle for the essences because, when taken into our body in any form, it helps us to become a superconductor able to more easily and comfortably hold the healing energies of the essences.
Red Shiso (Perilla frutescens) is a vigorous member of the mint family. It has a deep magenta colour that contrast well with the more dominant green and gray foliage colours of the garden. The fragrant, mature leaves are harvested and carefully dried and then made into a tea. When made into a liquid, the energies of this plant are like liquid crystal energy. Red Shiso contains perilla aldehyde, a preservative documented to have 1000 times the strength of synthetic food preservatives, which prevent the growth of bacterial growth. A small percentage of white vinegar is added to the decoction. The completed decoction is combined with 50% purified water. The decoction is pure, vibrant and robust.
Because a vehicle like Red Shiso is so high in frequency, it draws in a greater number of individual essences into a combination formula. It is as if the sacred geometry of Red Shiso attracts all the essences that are needed to make a formula that will address even the most chronic miasms or energetic blockages.
Intuitive guidance helps us to choose flower essences that will work well in combinations. Many combination essences will be established in sacred geometry to allow for a more powerful shift in the energy field. Various imbalances and toxins in the body are ultimately forced out due to the fact that they are vibrating at lower frequencies and hold no crystalline pattern or sacred geometry. They are eventually discharged because they don't vibrate at the level of health that flower essences propel us towards.
The scope of healing available through flower essences is truly miraculous and ever expanding. Many essences work on an emotional level. Arrowhead encourages the purity of God emotion instead of the roller coaster emotions we often experience. Scarlet Runner Bean helps us to face our fears with courage rather than running away from them. There are flowers to loosen old habits, clear depression and keep us walking on our divine path no matter what the obstacles. There is a flower that is one of the ancient on earth and holds the blueprint for the energy field of an enlightened human!
Flower essences represent a radical step in new ways to clear and shift our energy field into higher states of vibrational purity. It is said that “..releasing spiritual and medicinal properties stored in the flowers is one of the great keys to unfolding God's plan on the earth plane. Being held in the sacred geometry of flower essence combinations helps us to hold our fine tuning no matter what kinds of turmoil, chaos or imbalances surround us.
