How Do I Take Flower Essences? Incorporating a Flower Essence Ritual

Flower essences are a gentle yet powerful vibrational medicine that work on your subtle body, aura, and energy field. To get the most from these plant allies, ritual, consistency, and relationship-building are key.

Subtle medicines can be a lot more powerful than we expect. Breathe, take your time, and go slow. The human mind can often assume that intense, hard, and fast medicine works better, which can lead us to wanting to intake a lot at once because we're "not feeling it". I'm inviting you to trust the medicine. At first, it might speak in whispers, but know that the tiny vibrational shifts are adding up.

DOSAGE & DAILY PRACTICE

By adapting a simple ritual of 3-5 drops 3x/day, you can rapidly shift your vibration, dissolve limiting beliefs and societal conditioning, and return closer to your authentic self. Add the drops to your water or take them directly on your tongue.

Flower essences can also be used any way you work ceremonially with water, such adding them into a ritual bath, into the water on your altar, into a facial or hand steam, or infusing them into your creations, like watercolor paintings. These rituals help the subtle effects ripple through all areas of life, supporting emotional and spiritual growth.

There's a lot of flexibility within adapting a flower essence ritual. To get the most out of your essences, consider ingesting them when you have a moment of quiet reflection to add into your day. You might like to sit with your flower essence when you receive it and open yourself up to an affirmation that feels healing for you. Add this affirmation into your ritual for added benefits.

USE REFLECTIVE PRACTICES

Since flower essences are such a subtle medicine, sometimes it can be hard to notice the transformation that is actually occurring under the surface. A helpful practice to adapt is to carve time out when beginning a new flower essence regime to reflect on your current relationship with whatever spiritual or emotional concern you are working with. Then, after you complete your essence protocol, journal about where you are now. Look back and compare. Take pride in the shifts you've created.

Remember to be patient. Building a relationship with flowers is like building one with humans. Sometimes it takes a little time to open up! Over time, subtle shifts accumulate into profound transformation.
