Questions & Answers

 

 

How Should Essences Be Used?

Essences are simple and easy to use and you can find specific instructions on how to use each range in the product categories in the shop. In brief though:

Essences in dropper bottles: Take 4 drops on or under the tongue per dose.

Bach Flower Remedies can also be added to a glass of water and sipped throughout the day.

We don’t recommend adding any of our other essence ranges to a glass of water since we find that it is more effective to take them directly from stock, which gives them a much deeper acting effect.

Essence sprays:  Spray liberally in the auric field or use orally.

How Often Should Essences Be Taken?

This depends on which of the Essences your customers are using and what age they are. You can find specific dosage and how to use information for each range in the product category in the shop and you can also find how to use information on the bottle label for each essence.

A typical adult dosage for our essences would be as follows:

  • Bach Flower Remedies: 4 drops on the tongue 8 x a day.
  • Single Essences - Karmic Essences, Angel Essences, Archangel Essences, Rose Essences, Platonic Solid Essences: 4 drops on the tongue 3 - 4 x a day.
  • Combination Essences: Divine Harmony Essences, Chakra Essences, Rose Collection Combinations, Inner Child Essences: 4 drops on the tongue 3 - 4 x a day.
  • Combination Sprays: Pure Vibrations Collection: For external use: spray liberally into the auric field 4 x a day. For internal use: 2 sprays on the tongue up to 4 x a day.
  • Rainbow Light Body Essences: 4 drops on the tongue 1-2 x a day.

Are Essences Suitable for Children?

Children respond very quickly to vibrational essences so it is important to choose the most appropriate type of essence when using them with children, particularly babies or very young children. Below are some general guidelines & suggestions for different age groups.

Children 0 – 7 Years of Age

A well-chosen combination of max. 5 Bach Flower Remedies will very quickly help to bring children back into balance.

Most children enjoy taking their drops directly onto their tongues, however you could also add them to their drinks. 4 drops 4 x a day is normally enough at this age. For babies the remedies can be added to the bath water or dabbed on the pulse points on the body.

Children 8 – 12 Years of Age

Bach Flower Remedies are very effective with this age group, however we suggest that you increase the frequency of the dosage to 4 drops 6 x a day.

You could also introduce some of our individual flower and gem essences at this age. Start with one at a time perhaps 4 drops 2 x a day - this will probably be enough for most children.  Towards the top of this age range you could mix up to 3 individual essences into a combination - maximum dosage 4 drops 3 x a day.

Children Age 12 Onwards

After the age of twelve you can start to introduce the following Flower, Gem & Crystal Essences:

However we would recommend that you reduce the dose to 4 drops 2 or 3 x a day.

Are Essences Suitable During Pregnancy or Breast-feeding?

Bach Flower Remedies are ideal for use during pregnancy and while breast-feeding.

We recommend that you seek the advice of a qualified practitioner or contact us for advice if your customers are interested in using essences from our other essence ranges while pregnant or breast-feeding.

Are Essences Suitable for Animals?

Yes. We find that Bach Flower Remedies work best with pets - simply add 4 drops of each chosen Bach Flower Remedy to your pet’s water bowl or food bowl. It’s fine if multiple animals in the same household share bowls since the essences will bring balance to any pets who need them and simply have no effect on those who do not.

We offer Revival Remedy in a spray version which can also be sprayed around your pet’s bedding or sprayed on your hands so you can massage the essence into their fur.

You might also consider some of the single Flower Essences or single Gem & Crystal Essences also - for more advice on this please do contact us.

How Do Vibrational Essences Work?

Each Essence contains the energetic imprint or vibrational frequency of the flower, tree, gem, crystal, mineral or geometric shape from which it is made.

These beautiful natural energies provide a positive balancing force, which helps us to release the energetic patterning of old thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and emotions that have become crystallised in our way of being and in our energy field. As the essences gently work to release unconscious patterns, most people find that they experience greater harmony and balance on a mental, emotional and spiritual level.

Many people take essences to bring balance to the personality by releasing core emotions and thought patterns, while others take them to open up channels of spiritual wisdom and raise their consciousness.

How Long Should Essences Be Taken For?

Generally we recommend taking an essence until the bottle is finished. Sometimes an essence will have an immediate effect and your customers will feel a shift almost straight away. At other times the process happens on a subtle level over a longer period of time as the old patterns and layers are peeled away, like the layers of an onion.

The time it takes an Essence to work can vary considerably depending on how sensitive somebody is to Essences and on how deeply held the emotional/mental pattern, issue or state is.

Revival Remedy works very quickly in the moment to restore calm in stressful or emergency situations so the benefits are usually noticeable quickly, whereas if somebody is working on a lifelong pattern (e.g. confidence, feeling worthy, sensitivity to others' emotions, feeling very responsible for others, difficulty expressing yourself, survival fears etc.) they may find that they need to work with the relevant essences consistently over a longer period of time before these states shift through at a deeper level.

What Can Customers Expect While Taking Essences?

When you're using an Essence it can sometimes be a very calm and graceful process which subtly reattunes you to your centre and feels gently supportive to your system.

At other times you may feel very profound and deep changes occurring. This can sometimes be quite an emotional journey as old patterns, energies and issues rise to the surface to be cleared and released.

We find that people who are sensitive to energy, who have good self-awareness and regular practices for connecting with themselves notice the impact of taking essences quite quickly. However because the changes experienced with essences can sometimes be subtle and gradual, it may take a few months of essence use for them to notice more permanent and positive changes.

What If Customers Feel Worse While Taking Essences?

As part of the emotional clearing process, sometimes the issues people are working on can seem to be amplified while taking essences. They may feel more angry, more fearful or more hopeless for example. While this may seem that things are getting worse, it’s a good sign because it means the energy is moving and the emotions are coming into conscious awareness so they can be released.

If your customer is feeling worse, we usually recommend continuing with an essence until they get to the other side of any emotional discomfort that may arise, however they can reduce the number of times they take the essence during the day (e.g. reduce it from 4 drops 4 times a day to 4 drops twice a day).

Encourage them to make time to meditate, rest, spend time in nature, exercise and other types of self-care to support the process of personal and spiritual transformation as the essences bring balance through all levels and layers of their being.

Why Does This Happen?

Vibrational essences work by releasing old blocked energy so sensitive people may notice that their emotional or mental patterns become more noticeable while they are taking essences. Simply accepting the process and lovingly allowing the patterns to surface supports the process of gentle change and integration that happens when taking essences.

How Many Essences Can Be Used At One Time?

Bach Flower Remedies

You can either take single Bach Flower Remedies or a combination of 7-8 individual Bach Flower Remedies which will help you to work on a number of different issues at the same time.

Karmic Essences

Take only one Karmic Essence at a time, and don’t take any other essences except Bach Flower Remedies alongside them. Follow the dosage instructions on the label.

Angel Essences & Archangel & Ascended Master Essences

You can take these separately or mix 2 or 3 together. Use them as and when you want to call in a particular vibrational frequency, or take them over a longer period of time until you notice a change.

Divine Harmony Essences, Chakra Essences, Rose Collection Combinations, Inner Child Essences and Light Body Essences

Each of these is a powerful combination of at least 5 different essences so we recommend that you only take one combination at time, and continue until the bottle is finished. We don’t recommend taking any essences other than Bach Flower Remedies at the same time since it can be too much for the energetic system to integrate.

Pure Vibrations Spray Collection

Each of these sprays is a powerful combination of 5 to 6 different essences, so if you're using them consistently for a period of time we recommend that you avoid taking other deeper acting combinations at the same time. However, a well-chosen combination of the Bach Flower Remedies might be very supportive used alongside one of these Sprays. Occasional use: If you are using the sprays on an ‘as needed’ basis then using 2 or 3 different sprays separately over the course of a day would be fine. If you are taking another deep acting combination such as a Chakra Essence or a Divine Harmony Essence, then the occasional use of one of the Pure Vibration Sprays in the auric field alongside your other combination works well for most adults.

Are There Alcohol Free Alternatives?

We primarily use organic brandy because it is an effective and traditional base for preserving the essences. On special request we can provide a cider vinegar or vegetable glycerine alternative for most of our 25ml essences, and we provide Bach Flower Remedy sets in cider vinegar (10ml and 25ml). Alcohol free essences can be sent to you or sent direct to your customer using our drop-shipping service. N.B. We cannot provide alcohol free versions of the Inner Child and Rainbow Light Body Essences.
