What is Flower Essence? Flower essences are made by infusing the energy of a flower into water through a process known as solarization. The resulting liquid is then preserved with alcohol and diluted to create a potent and effective remedy. Flower essences are unique from essential oils, which capture the aromatic compounds of a plant. Instead, flower essences capture the energetic properties of the flower.

How to Make Flower Essence Making flower essence is a simple process that requires only a few ingredients:

  1. A bowl of fresh flowers: Choose a flower that resonates with your intentions and that you feel drawn to.

  2. A glass bowl: Use a clear glass bowl that will allow the sunlight to shine through and infuse the water with the energy of the flower.

  3. Spring water: Use fresh, clean spring water to ensure the highest quality essence.

  4. A glass jar: After the essence has been made, it will need to be stored in a dark glass jar to preserve its potency.

To make the essence, fill a clear glass bowl with fresh spring water and place it in direct sunlight. Add the flowers to the water, making sure they are fully submerged. Allow the mixture to sit in the sunlight for several hours, or until the water has been infused with the energy of the flower. Once the essence has been made, strain out the flowers and store the liquid in a dark glass jar.

Benefits of Flower Essence Flower essences are believed to work on a subtle level to address emotional and spiritual imbalances. Some of the benefits of using flower essence may include:

  3. Supporting physical healing. Flower essences can be used to support physical healing by addressing the emotional and spiritual imbalances that may be contributing to illness or disease.

In conclusion, making flower essence is a simple process that can yield profound benefits for emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. By connecting us to the energy of nature, flower essences can help us to find greater harmony and balance in our lives.
