HIGH SIERRA BOTANICALS / HIGH OCTAVE HEALING
A NEW APPROACH TO ANCIENT MEDICINE
The Beyond Bach Philosophy
"What do they smell like?" is the question I often get asked when I display my bottles of flower essence formulas at a healing arts fair. I explain that there is no smell because the contents in the bottles is vibrational medicine---pure healing energy. "What does that mean?" is usually the next question. "They're for inner healing or self-healing, and each bottle works for something different like stress relief, clear thinking, anxiety, and so on" I say. If they want more information, I try to keep it simple (ha!), explaining that one puts drops of the medicine under one's tongue. The energy of the flower essences etherically interacts with various aspects of the person's subtle anatomy (like chakras, meridians, etc.). Over time, positive shifts and changes develop at core levels of the soul and psyche. These gentle shifts or re-patterning of energy may occur emotionally, spiritually, psychologically, and/or physically---allowing new insights, perspectives, and balance for personal growth and evolution. Other beautiful aspects of this medicine is that it's non-toxic, self-adjusting within each person's body and you can't possibly overdose on it. The conversation might go on or stop here, but at least, if only briefly, one more person has been introduced to the premise of vibrational medicine and the fact that flower essences and essential oils are quite different. My approach to working with essences is also different, representative of a growing paradigm shift in this field of energy healing work.
Seventy-nine years ago, the ancient---and almost lost---healing art of flower essences was rebirthed onto the planet by a gifted English physician named Edward Bach. At that time in history, there was a great amount of fear and uncertainty. We had just ended one world war and were proceeding headlong into another. Dr. Bach was a conventionally trained pathologist and bacteriologist who became disenchanted with symptom-based allopathic medicine. Recognizing the connection of emotional and psychological states to physical health, he began working with homeopathics and then evolved to flower essences. A keenly sensitive man, Dr. Bach was able to intuit the health and healing qualities of the plants and apply them to human personality traits and emotional imbalances. His extensive work and empirical studies have fully stood the test of time. We owe this visionary a debt of gratitude.
Over the past thirty years or so, many people from all over the planet have been inspired and guided to develop essences from their regions, offering a wide range of diverse vibrational healing elements to humanity. While Dr. Bach, in his day, worked with 38 original essences, we now have thousands from which to choose. In my personal journey of discovery with essences I have come to the realization that it is time to reevaluate and evolve this healing medium.
Many practitioners have trained under the auspices of the "Bible of Bach" which basically says not to mix any more than four to six essences together or you will overwhelm the client (or yourself). That was true for the 1930's but now I believet that idea must be transformed. Today we live in a more complex world, encounter more complex difficulties and situations, and are generally more complex as humans. Also, the vibrational frequency of our planet is being scientifically monitored and is increasing. Consequently, the vibrational healing capacity of humans is expanding at this time. Gregg Braden's work addresses these changes very thoroughly.
After nine years of working with clients and developing formulas for a variety of issues and conditions, I am finding that most people I work with are needing between tweny to forty essences in their formulas in order to address the complex, interwoven state of affairs that represents their lives. If true integration is desired, compartmentalization (working on one thing at a time) will not fill the bill. Also, I have come to understand that in order to truly support the complex processes that people are undergoing at this time, the formulas must be taken over an extended period---often, a year or more before moving on to a new combination. As for myself, I have taken over 500 essences at one time and there are some essences that have remained in my personal formula for several years. I know others who've experimented with at least 1,500 essences together in one formula. So truly, the numbers are not an issue. It is the synergy which is of the most importance.
I wholeheartedly encourage people to engage with the healing potential of the flowers and other vibrational remedies. They are so gentle and nurturing yet so powerful and unrelenting in their ability to assist us humans on our path to wholeness. If we allow their love and beautiful intention to touch us at the deepest levels of our souls and psyches through the course of our process of self disclosure and healing, we just might find emotional sobriety and that higher level of ourselves that we've been yearning for.
I have encountered other flower essence practitioners who are getting messages to work with greater numbers of essences in their client formulas but are reticent to do so because it is not in line with contemporary conventional/conservative wisdom. I wholeheartedly encourage them to give up their co-dependence and apprehension and go with their intuition. We must break through and create a new paradigm for vibrational healing. I am convinced that currently, it is not just okay, but necessary to utilize more essences together for optimum results. Dr. Bach would just like us to keep synergy in mind when blending our healing creations.
