Creating Flower Essences
The process of crafting flower essences is harmonious dance with nature’s elements:
Harvesting with Intention:
The process begins by selecting flowers that resonate with the qualities you wish to cultivate. Whether it’s gentleness, courage, or clarity, each flower carries it’s own energetic signature.
Before harvesting your flowers, it is important to sit with the plant and get to know the flowers. Sit in the space and connect with the land around you and the plant your wishing to harvest from. Then, ask permission from the plant before collecting your flowers. Once you feel you have gained that permission, then you can begin to harvest your flowers.
Sunlight Infusion:
Placed in a bowl of pure water, the flowers are gently exposed to sunlight. Over several hours, the sun infuses the water with the flower’s vibrational essence, capturing its healing qualities. This process can take several hours to a whole day, depending on the flower.
Preservation:
To preserve the energetic essence, a small amount of alcohol, usually brandy, is added to the mixture. This blend becomes the flower essence, the mother essence - an infusion that carries the flower’s wisdom in a concentrated form.
