Essences help achieve balance, harmony and well-being !
Frequently Asked Questions-
What are they and how are they made?
All nature, including us, is made up of masses of energy vibrating at different speeds/frequencies and consequently manifesting into different densities.
Each essence vibrates with the characteristics of the matter from which it is made, but does not contain any of that matter. This resonance corresponds with a particular emotional, physical or spiritual attribute.
Instead of using chemicals, essences capture the essence of nature. The essence –making process is normally achieved using the sun to release the energetic imprint and healing force of the flower (or other matter) into pure water. Brandy is added to ‘ground’ the energy and this acts as a preserving/ antibacterial agent.
How do vibrational essences work?
The taking of essences (which have captured the highest frequency of the plant, gem, shell etc) introduces our energy system to the elevated vibrations of nature. Sympathically, our energies gravitate towards the higher vibration- this can be subtle or dramatic as they work on the emotional, mental, and/ or spiritual levels and can impact on the physical.
Essences work on energy centres and fields in the body( human and animal), balancing and harmonising the flow with results like removing negative thought/ emotional patterns, unblocking energy, releasing past trauma or supporting us as we move forward positively eg with peace of mind, clarity or courage.
Essences do not change who we are, but they accentuate the higher qualities we already have inherently on some deeper level... Essences do not change events or people in our lives, but they do help us control how we react or respond to them. And this helps us achieve a life of balance, harmony and well-being.
Are essences new?
Modern day essences were pioneered in the 1930’s by Dr E. Bach, but essences were used millennia ago in the times of Lemuria and Atlantis.
What type of essences can I choose from?
There are many ranges of vibrational essences available today such as plant, gem, shell ,flower, bark, and more recently, goddess, angel and location energy( just to name a few). Each is a valid remedy and supports you from a different perspective.
Currently I work with the Spirit_In-Nature (psycho-emotional balancing), the Shells (multidimensional spiritual, subtle body self healing) and White Light essences (understanding our spirituality and fulfilling our highest potential.)
Essences from various ranges may be blended to achieve a well rounded support for the individual.
Are essences safe?
Essences are safe , as they
- Are a holistic form of energy medicine.
- Are natural remedies made by the method pioneered by Dr. Edward Bach
- Elicit gentle and subtle changes,
- Are complementary to allopathic medicine and other therapies,
- Have no side affects or contra indications,
- Cannot be neutralized by other substances,
- Have innate safety valve so not possible to overdose,
Vibrational essences are safe, but do not replace traditional medical or veterinary treatment. Where appropriate consult your physician.
Who can use essences?
Everyone can benefit from them- adults , children , babies and pets.
They can also be used to minimise plant trauma and to cleanse personal spaces of other people's energies.
Is there an essence for everything?
... an essence for the annoying barking dog next door?
... an essence for my dad's overbearing nature?
...an essence for my teething baby?
... an essence for effective listening ?....JUST A FEW EXAMPLES
In short, essences are of assistance to anyone, in any situation. The use of vibrational essences does however,call us to work on OUR issues, rather than trying to 'change' someone else.
In the examples above,
...an essence for acceptance or compassion will go a long way to allieviating the stress from the dog barking,and perhaps the irresponsible neighbour
...an essence for speaking up or forgiveness or changing family patterns may be indicated in the second scenario
... an essence for joy will help lift moodiness around teething
...an essence for listening assists with blending of ideas in group discussion.
Is it possible to choose a wrong essence?
You cannot really choose a’ wrong’ essence .
Vibrational essences are holistic and have no contra-indications, so any that you choose or that ‘feel’ right will be suitable for you.
It is more a case of " what essence is a priority for me now" rather than "what essence is right for me"
When choosing for yourself, please address your concern from an emotional, mental or spiritual level, rather than from a physical perspective.
It seems that the essence is not working...
- Sometimes, you just don't need essence support .This more often applies if essences form a regular part of your health & development regime.
- Essences should be taken regularly and as directed for optimum benefits.
- Occassionally, we might find ourselves in a state of utter despair, from which it seems no therapy or essence can lift us .In this troubled time, patience, prayer and connecting with friends is recommended.
- Although there are no 'wrong' essences, there may be a more appropriate priority essence required . If after 3 days on an essence , you do not experience some results, move onto another essence.

How are essences taken ?
Optimally, several drops are administered several times a day directly onto tongue.
Some essences can be experienced equally effectively in spray form, In bath water , in drinking water or in lotions.
Some circumstances will call for different applications-
- So as not to contaminate the dropper, you can first put drops into the hand or on a spoon - this particularly applies for a small child or pet .
- In the cases of bruising or burns, some essences are beneficially applied directly to site.
- In cases of emergency or accident, essences can be placed anywhere on skin , fur , feathers (but not directly on broken skin or wounds)
If the presence of alcohol is an issue, then an essence can be
- placed into cold drinks
- dropped into hot drinks at point of boiling which will evaporate the alcohol or
- ordered initially with vinegar as alternative preservative.
When do I stop taking the essence ?
The usual recommendation is to take an essence anywhere from two to four weeks ( a 20ml bottle will cover this) as recommended by your practitioner. But do not discount your own intuition. If you find yourself 'forgetting' to take it after a couple of weeks, this can be taken as an indicator that you may no longer require the essence.
