Deep dives
The Origins of Flower Essences
Flower essences were developed in the 1930s by Dr. Edward Bach, a physician and homeopath. He sought a therapeutic model that treated the whole organism and observed the connection between personality traits and therapeutic needs. He developed a method of floating freshly harvested blossoms in water and sunlight to capture the energy and consciousness of the plant. These flower essences contain the energetic imprint of the plant's consciousness and are believed to work on a subtle level to bring balance and harmony.
Understanding Crystal Healing
Crystal healing combines science and spirituality to work with the energy of crystals. Crystals have a clear and coherent structure at the molecular level, which is believed to influence our own energy fields. When we interact with crystals, their energy fields entrain with ours, teaching our energy fields to become more rhythmic, energetic, and crystalline. This can have a positive impact on our mood, perception, and overall health. Crystal healing is a dynamic and ongoing practice that requires alignment and balance.
The Power of Perception and Projection
Our perception and projection play a significant role in magic and healing practices. Our bias and belief in the effectiveness of a practice can influence the outcome. It is essential to be open-minded, critical thinkers, willing to ask questions and seek effective answers. Perception and projection can also affect our interaction with spirits, deities, and the environment. Tuning in to the frequencies and harmonics of the spiritual realm requires attentiveness, neutrality, and a willingness to listen.
Exploring Flower Essences and their Therapeutic Benefits
Flower essences are dilute solutions that contain the energy signature of a plant's consciousness. Developed by Dr. Edward Bach, flower essence therapy focuses on balancing emotional and soul qualities through the use of these essences. By ingesting or topically applying the essences, individuals can experience subtle but profound shifts in their emotional states. Flower essences provide a gentle reminder of what an imbalanced state looks like and help individuals align with a balanced and harmonious frequency.
