The Art of Healing with Flower Essences
History
Dr. Edward Bach is credited with the development of flower essences as a healing modality. Dr. Bach was bacteriologist who lived in the 1900s. He studied diseases and could be compared to that of an infectious-disease specialist. He searched for treatments for patients that were less toxic than were offered in his day. He was a radical thinker for his time and believed that the ‘mind and the emotions played a substantial role in most illnesses’. He came to believe that regardless of the cause illness in most cases would likely improve if the there could be rebalance of emotions. He was also an intuitive or “psychically sensitive” and based on a hunch and the strong emotions that he experienced when he stopped in front of a particular flower, he spread some of the morning dew that had collected on the flower on to his lips and found that the strong emotions he was experiencing faded away to a state of calm. It was this experience that led him to develop the 38 remedies to match what he considered were the ‘key emotional energy patterns behind many people’s illnesses’.
How do Flower Essences Work
Most of the research on flower essences has been a case of psychic observations and intuitive explorations of trained intuitives because there isn’t any technological device as yet that can measure quantitatively as well as qualitatively and record the changes to the higher-dimensional components of human anatomy.
While this is the situation with modern technology there is still ‘insightful and intriguing’ information coming from the sources of various intuitives. The research from this quarter on life force energy suggests that the ‘higher realm of spiritual anatomy is composed of an energy and structure that is indeed magnetic in nature’ but different to the common understanding associated with permanent magnetic. Bach believed ‘that our emotional expressions were reflections of subtle energy patterns we carry in our “magnetic bodies’ and when ‘people became fixed upon a certain way of emotionally reacting to the world around them, it was because their magnetic emotional bodies were also fixed in similar emotional energy- energy patterns’. This being the case then the ‘energy patterns of our astral, emotional and mental bodies can indirectly influence our etheric and physical bodies’ leading to emotional disturbances and possibly lead to physical illness because of the connection between the physical and spiritual dimension’. Refer to image below for the subtle bodies referred to here.
Flowers have specific vibrations which emanate from the electromagnetic pattern of the flower and when ingested or applied to a part of the body will vibrate at the specific vibration level.
The energy of sunlight is able to make a kind of Etheric imprint of a plant’s flower in water. The water does not actually contain the medicinal molecules taken from the flower. Instead, it contains a subtle-energy pattern that can produce profound effects in human beings if appropriately prescribed for various medical and emotional conditions. One reason flower essences appear to affect human subtle anatomy so strongly is that they tend to contain more actual life –force energy from plants than do other vibrational medicines.
Dr Bach’s flower essences provide for 38 principle human emotions which are then divided into seven groups of fundamental emotions.
- Emotive state of despair and despondency
- Emotive state bought on by loneliness
- Insufficient interest in present circumstances
- Emotive state of uncertainty
- Emotive state of fear
- Emotive state of over-sensitivity to ideas and influence
- Emotive state of over concern for other welfare
Each remedy works to treat a specific emotion and mental state and can help to balance negative emotions by transforming them into the corresponding positive emotions and prevent illness caused by the unbalanced state of emotions.
