Benefits Of Flower Essence In Healing
Flower essence has become widely popular in spiritual healing. In fact, many spiritual healers offer paid consultation on flower essence therapy. Personally, I do not feel it is necessary to book a special consultation to learn what flower essence will help in your specific healing. To my own personal clients, I always prescribe them flower essence remedies, depending on what specific things came up during the session.
For those who are not familiar with flower essence, flower therapy is a form of an alternative medicine based on the idea that flowers have a healing vibrational energy from a spiritual perspective. The practice uses flower essences, made of brandy and water infused with petals of flowers.
It is believed that the healing properties of a particular flower can help restore the balance between body and mind by casting out negative emotions such as fear, worry, hate, and indecisive disorders. It claims that consumption of flower essence along with a combination of various spiritual healing modalities expedites the healing process on a wholeness level.
In modern spiritual therapy, it is believed to also bring harmony and balance on a soul level.
Edward Bach, born on 1886 was a British medical doctor, bacteriologist, homeopath, and spiritual writer who was best known for developing the Bach flower remedies in 1930. He claimed that the flower remedies were a form of alternative therapy. He believed that illnesses were a direct effect of disharmony between body and the mind.
He was the leading pioneer in the flower remedies, then others followed suit. Today, there are thirty-eight different kind of Bach flower remedies. Below are taken from their website which best explains all thirty-eight flower essences. For more information, visit www.bachflower.com.
Edward Bach categorized seven different kind of healing modalities. In modern spirituality, this is still widely used along with other categorized healing modalities. This is not an exclusive list but merrily touching a few to give you some idea. If you are looking for a specific area of healing, best to research.
