I started making remedies last June and as always the ones I most needed came to me. I would make the remedy and then research it or take it and find out it was perfectly what I needed right then and there. They helped me so much during a hard time in my life when I was going through a lot of change both inside and outside and helped me find my feet and my place again after I had lost it. I feel like the flowers were my allies through it all and I only had to listen to their whisperings and allow myself to learn the wisdom they were offering. I was surprised at myself even that I could make my own remedies. I hadn’t allowed myself before I suppose, or was closed to the possibility and when the information came to me it seemed so simple and I wondered why I hadn’t done this years ago! I hope they help you too.
You can either take them straight from the stock bottle. Three drops morning, afternoon and evening under the tongue for at least two weeks. Pay attention to your dreams and keep a notebook by your bed to write them down.
Or you can make a remedy mix that I can mix for you right now of the essences I have available to me. The four below that I made and three others I bought that I outline below. Feel free to ask advice. I can ship anywhere if you order them online. You take the mix the same way as above.
I make them from a mix of 50/50 brandy and water for the stock bottle and 80% water 20% brandy for the remedy bottles. The water is pure spring water. I have stock bottles of the four below I made myself. The other three I have bought I can only incorporate into a remedy mix.
The stock bottles are 5 euro not including postage. They are 10ml. The remedy bottles are the same.
Trumpet flower
Trumpet flower is for communication and for rediscovering who you really are. It is a connection to the higher self and a spiritual connection that helps to bring everything into perspective. It allows communication to happen from a place of love and responsibility and helps to communicate difficult issues. It brings the spiritual into the communication, whether communicating with others or communicating with oneself and allows information to flow to you from your higher self. Good for children also, give them trumpet flower before sitting with them to talk about emotional issues.
Safe
I made this essence from rock flowers. They grow on cliff sides and walls and are perfectly secure growing in the least hospitable stones. They find cracks with their roots and make themselves secure. The word I got from this essence was ‘Safe’. We are safe where ever we are, when making difficult transitions in our life or going through a period of change or simply feelings of insecurity, this essence can help with that. It helps us find our roots and make ourselves secure no matter how precarious the situation seems. Use it for moving house, job, divorce, exams, country, school or just feeling safe when the world is moving too fast and the unknown beckons.
Rose
This flower called out to me one morning. It was a large pink rose and the morning dew was sitting on its petals in huge orbs of purity. I made the essence from it and took it for two weeks to see what would happen. I had the most amazing dreams. Dreams of lightness and clarity and love and openness. As with all roses this is for the heart chakra and opening of the heart centre. It also has a childlike sense to it, that innocence and joy we had as children that came so easily to us. I think this is a good essence to take with another as it will support and help the progress of the other and the dreams will illuminate what is going on on the energetic level.
Light
I made this essence one evening in Guatemala during the rainy season when the air itself glowed golden orange. There was a storm just passed and a double rainbow hanging over the mountains and in the distance thunder still rumbled faintly. This was a respite from the storm, the period of stillness before it returned again. I also put rainbow obsidian in the water.
I took the essence and received dreams of light, of playing, of being lighter and clearer. For dark places in your life or if you need to bring light to some shadow land inside you. If you are feeling heavy and burdened and unable to shake it off, if you are living in a grey cloud this essence will lift you upwards and bring a rainbow of colour and light into your life. Like the rose above this is a happy remedy and a remedy that reminds us we are beings of joy and light and allow this into our hearts.
Others
Buttercup (North American Flower Essences)
Positive qualities:
Radiant inner light, unattached to outer recognition or fame.
Patterns of imbalance:
Feelings of low self-worth, inability to acknowledge or experience one’s inner light and uniqueness.
In the natural evolution of the soul there are phases of life, if not entire lifetimes, which require that one’s essential light be contained in a quiet, simple way. Although such humble expressions may not appear remarkable by outer standards, they are enormously important times in which the soul gathers inward strength and consolidates its essence.
It is important that such souls not judge themselves by conventional standards of achievement and success, becoming afflicted with feelings of self-doubt and diminished self-worth. Rather they need to recognize and honor the inner value and worth of who they truly are. In this way, they are able to shine forth with a radiant inner light that blesses and santctifies even the most simple tasks and obligations.
This remedy is very helpful for children, for those who may be physically handicapped or impaired, and for numerous phases and situations in the life cycle which require inner containment and simplicity. Buttercup flower essence help the soul to realize and sustain its beautiful inner light, which becomes a source of great healing and peace for all whom it contacts.- from the ‘Flower Essence Repertory‘, by Patricia Kaminsky and Richard Katz.

Black Eyed Susan (North American Flower Essences)
Positive qualities:
Awake consciousness capable of acknowledging all aspects of the Self; penetrating insight.
Patterns of imbalance:
Avoidance or repression of traumatic or painful aspects of the personality.
Black-Eyed-Susan flower essence is a powerful catalyst for confronting parts of the personality or traumatic episodes form the past that have been kept locked away in the recesses of the psyche.
Often these unclaimed parts of the psyche operate as shadow parts of the personality; for example, a person who as raped or abused may begin to exhibit the same behavior toward others later in life. In other instances this enormous repression does not manifest outwardly, but inwardly, in self-destructive tendencies or as mental or physical illness. In many cases Black-Eyed-Susan is indicated for individuals who suffer from emotional amnesia and paralysis, and are totally unaware of the healing issues they must confront. What is needed in these circumstances is an increase of awareness; the ability to shine the light of consciousness into the shadows of the psyche.
A great release of energy is felt in the soul once such buried parts of the psyche are consciously encountered and addressed in an appropriate therapeutic environment. Black-Eyed-Susan restores great light and conscious awareness, helping the soul to integrate and transform unclaimed parts of the psyche.
