Findhorn Information

Findhorn Flower Essences are made using wildflowers from Scotland, and pure water collected from sacred healing wells. They are prepared by the sun-infusion method pioneered in the 1930s by Dr. Edward Bach, whose own remedies revived the age-old use and understanding of the natural healing power expressed by flowering plants and trees.

The subtle healing properties of flower essences restore equilibrium on all levels of being: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. They can enhance personal development and are a powerful aid to transformation. They offer us the opportunity to address outworn behaviour patterns and negative states of mind which may contribute to or cause disease, emotional imbalance and spiritual disharmony. By stimulating the body’s inherent ability to heal itself, flower essences restore order from a higher level and help to strengthen desirable or positive qualities such as courage, inner peace, love or acceptance.

These essences have been created in cooperation with the forces of Nature. The elements of earth, air, fire, and water combine to create the physical form of every plant according to the divine blueprint. Our love and thanks must go to the angels – the divine architects – and to the nature spirits, who work according to the plan to bring each plant into being. Vis Medicatrix Naturae, the healing power of Nature, is their gift to us in the form of flower essences. Through the love with which the essences are prepared, and the intention that those taking them maintain, these natural essences reaffirm our connection with the divine and the oneness of all life.

How to Use and Choose the Essences

To select the remedies most beneficial for you at this time see which ones most closely address the positive qualities you would like to encourage. Look for key emotional, psychological and soul issues. Often intuition will call your attention to particular flower essences. Read the descriptions and get a sense of which essences intuitively feel right. Please note however that we recommend that you seek professional advice for a more accurate diagnosis. 

Other effective methods of selection include dowsing with a pendulum, muscle testing, or kinesiology.

Flower essences have a wide range of applications. Take several drops directly under the tongue or in a glass of water and sip throughout the day. Add them to bath water, creams or lotions and apply topically, or spray them around the home or workplace. The essences are most effective when used frequently in small amounts. In times of crisis or transition, use them up to several times a hour. Individual remedies may be blended together. However, for clarity of focus, work with one or two key issues at a time. To enhance their positive effects, affirm the qualities you choose to encourage in your life.

Note:
Where there is a serious physical or psychological problem it is crucial to seek professional help. An experienced practitioner will usually take a detailed case history, including medical history, and they can also give support and insight when the essences bring up painful feelings or confront us with difficult decisions.
