Choosing a flower essence can feel mysterious at first. Unlike herbal remedies that act on the physical body, flower essences work on the subtle body, or the energetic, emotional, and spiritual layers that cannot be touched or put neatly into words. Because of this, I believe the most powerful way to choose a flower essence is through intuition.
WHY INTUITION MATTERS
Every flower essence carries a vibrational signature that interacts with your inner world. While I share descriptions of each essence on my website to serve as a guide, it’s important to remember that words only capture a fraction of who a plant truly is.
Think of it like describing your best friend: a short paragraph might highlight some qualities, but it can never fully embody the depth of who they are. In the same way, plants are multidimensional beings. They show different aspects of themselves depending on the relationship you form with them, just like people do.
BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP WITH PLANTS
Instead of approaching flower essence work as choosing a remedy for a symptom, I'd like to invite you to consider building a relationship with the plants themselves. Over time, they reveal more of their healing wisdom based on how open and connected you are to them. This makes intuition such a valuable tool.
THE VISUAL & ENERGETIC CONNECTION TO PLANT SPIRIT ATTRACTION
At The Spiral Path, I include images of the flowers within each essence, along with a background color that represents the vibrational frequency of the blend. This is intentional. Before you even read the description, I want you to notice:
- Which flowers or colors draw your attention?
- Which images feel warm, expansive, or magnetic in your body?
- Where does your intuition say “yes” before your mind starts analyzing?
Your body often knows which essence you need before your logical mind can explain why.
Of course, the written descriptions are always available as supportive guidance. They are channeled directly from the plants and may help confirm what your intuition already sensed. But because ultimately, you are your own best teacher, trusting your body’s wisdom is the most aligned way to choose.
Choosing a flower essence isn’t about making the “right” intellectual choice, but about listening deeply to yourself and beginning to open yourself up to plant-spirit connection. Let the flowers call you in. From there, the relationship will unfold in a way that is uniquely yours.
