I started my exploration into essences while working as a Saturday boy in a health food shop called Foods of The Earth. I sold Bach Flower remedies and homeopathy as well as other health foods and supplements. I liked the alternative world, it felt good.

About Vibrational Essences

Vibrational essences are liquid solutions made of the energetic imprint of flowers, plants, trees, crystals, and other natural sources. They are most often taken orally and have a therapeutic effect on our personalities – supporting, strengthening, and empowering us, so we are able to function at our optimum level. They awaken, resolve, and transform our emotional and mental attitudes or inner disharmony, enhancing our wellbeing on many levels.

Using vibrational essences is a growing and transformational modality that offers huge potential to support us in our modern world. Essences are safe for children, animals, the unwell, and the elderly, and are very versatile to use.

Choosing Vibrational Essences

During a Soul Evolution session with Elixir and Spray, we will work with Vibrational essences. Together we are looking to find the right blends of essences to quieten your mind and emotions, integrating the parts of your psyche that have been disassociated or pushed away in your past. This is to support you on your return to your true state of wholeness, emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. This is achieved by selecting a blend of essences that resonate the most with your true feelings and thoughts that are troubling you. Often these feelings are uncomfortable but keep resurfacing, after perhaps being pushed away. I choose the essences mostly through my dowsing, looking for the highest frequency that will support my clients. I select up-to one from each of the 9 sets.

When the mind is free of the constrictions of past conditioning, this means the essence has supported your human system to integrate and reach equanimity within the psyche. The aim is to return the energy system back to its true nature of stillness and wholeness. This is true natural alchemy, being supported by flowers, plants, trees, crystals, and other natural sources.

Counter States

Each remedy has two states. I call this a counter state. The first state is the blocked state where the mind or body experiences a repeated thought or physical symptom, like a broken record trying to free itself. The second stage is the potential freeing or surrender crossroads, which is the effect the essence will have on your psyche and your whole system once the correct remedy is chosen. Your mind and body can then let go of the suffering, leading to quietening and eventually ceasing of the disturbance in the mind, body and emotions.

Such spots are nearly always situated near a spring, well or fresh running water. Chalice Well is one such centre.

8. Bach Flower Remedies

The Godfather of the essence world is Dr Edward Bach, founder of the Bach Flower Remedies. Between 1930 and 1934 he created the 38 remedies still used today, which focus on supporting and reducing negative impacts on the mental condition. He believed that following one's true vocation is essential to spiritual and physical health. He also believed in the importance of treating the cause of the illness. I use all 38 remedies, and the two rescue remedies.
