The Elements of a Flower Essence Program

At a workshop earlier this month in Boise, Idaho, we conducted what’s called an “open session consultation.” This is a mini-consult with the class in attendance to observe the following consultation components: the selection of flower essences; the order of the essences in a serial program; and a brief substantiation for the flower essence choices. Since we only had about 20 minutes, the session was somewhat condensed.

Susie, on staff at the bookstore where the workshop was held, was animated and enthusiastic about being the “guinea pig.” Here is her flower essence program, followed by her initial response.

Flower essence #1: Coconut for 6 days: to support her desire to change herself and her efforts to dissolve her negativity and grief. This store is the first place where she said she’s felt that she belonged.

Flower essence #2: Strawberry for 6 days: to help her reclaim her sense of dignity and for working on being who she’s meant to be. She said she had a beautiful childhood. “Mom and Dad are my heroes. My sister’s a saint, my brother is a doll.”

Flower essence #3: Avocado for 4 days:  to remember herself as whole and complete; and to support that humor is how she works with her pain; to continue in her wisdom and knowledge of the person she was aspiring to become.

Flower essence #4: Tomato for 10 days: to encourage her attitude that she’s now ready and willing to make the changes she desires in her life (willing being the operative word for Tomato Essence). By her own admission, Susie said that she had been in love with the wrong man, thus continuing a pattern of relationship abuse. She mentioned feeling a great deal of anger. She was angry at her habitual choice of the wrong people. Also, for her best friend breaking her heart. As it turned out, the woman wasn’t who Susie thought she was. She felt a tremendous sense of betrayal.

Flower Essence # 5: Corn: 2 weeks. Corn Essence, for mental vitality, is Susie’s theme essence. This is the essence she most closely resembles on a vibrational level, the one with which she resonates in its positive expressions.

Last week, Susie emailed a summary of her response to this flower essence program while on her second essence:

“I am feeling so great, my spirit seems calmer and more peaceful already….I’m taking Strawberry now.”
