Flower Essences
Today we each made a flower essences! I chose to make a lavendar flower essence. I sat with the lavendar for a while which felt like a nice hug. After some time and consideration I chose the flower that wanted to be part of my flower essence. Carefully without touch the flower and exchanging energy with it, I picked the flower from the plant and placed it in a glass bowl that contained filtered water. The flower sat in the water near it’s plant for most of the afternoon. Then I took the water and placed it in a tincture bottle of 1:1 Brandy. This is the Mother Flower Essence. The remainder of the lavendar water was sprinkled on me and on the lavendar plant in thanks. The mother can be cut 1:1 with Brandy to make the Stock bottle. The stock can the be cut 1:1 with Brandy to make the dosage bottle. It is important to remember to not touch the dropper when taking the flower essence as it make take up my energy. The flower essence can be dropped under the tongue or drops on the wrist. Taken over time flower essences gradually shift body and energy.
