Aromatherapy and Vibrational Essences Keywords: Aromatherapy, Vibrational Essences, Flower Essences - FES, Soul Sprays Did you know that vibrational essences and aroma oils are two different things? Have you ever heard of vibrational remedies, such as flower essences, but never quite knew what they were or how they worked? Although Aroma Oils and Vibrational Essences are different, they’re often confused with each other, which is why we decided to write about them on the same page. So, the next time you’re looking for lavender oil, make sure you didn’t accidentally pick up the Lavender FES flower remedy! Aromatherapy Aromatherapy is better known to the general public, as there are many aroma-therapeutic products on the market today. Aroma oils are specially selected, high-grade oils derived from plants and flowers. Aroma oil promotes healing through their actual physical properties, and also through their scents. The aromatic scents of various oils effect us in different ways, depending on which oils we use. Lavender oils tend to have a calming effect on our nervous systems, and are thus said to be good to promote relaxation and rest. Orange oils, on the other hand, promote alertness and vitality, which is said to be excellent for people with low energy levels. Most aroma oils should not be ingested. Some other oils that are well known for their healing properties are: Basil: antiseptic, stimulant, eases mental fatigue Chamomile: Soothing, calming, uplifting, eases insomnia Juniper: Toxic waste cleanser, detoxifier, household disinfectant Ascendant Books carries an excellent range of aroma oils and books on how to use them. We also carry a wide range of products that combine the properties of both aromatherapy and vibrational essences for a powerful healing combination! Vibrational Essences Flower or animal essences are liquid preparations that contain the vibrational imprint of the flower, plant or animal they represent. They affect people on an energetic level, and are therefore not classified as biochemical medicines. Unlike aroma oils, vibrational remedies are often taken internally, as a drop under the tongue, or in one’s water. Vibrational remedies can also be used as a spray to cleanse an area of a room or even one’s auric field (see ‘Soul Sprays by Laureen Rama). Ascendant Books is home to many of the best that’s out there for Vibrational remedies including: FES Quintessentials– Flower Essences, Wild Earth Animal Essences & Spirit Sprays, and Soul Restore ‘Soul Sprays’ by local Shaman, Laureen Rama. ![]() FES Quintessentials ™ Flower Essences Information that follows has been provided by FES Quintessentials ™ in the FAQ section of their homepage. For further information or questions, go to fesflowers.com What are flower essences? Flower essences are herbal infusions or decoctions, made from the flowering part of the plant, which uniquely address emotional and mental aspects of wellness. A British physician, Dr. Edward Bach, formulated the first 38 flower remedies in the 1930's, but today, new remedies from other plant species are now available. How do flower essences work? To understand how flower essences work requires a recognition that the human being is more than a physical body, but also incorporates a "body" of life energy, a "body" of sensitivity and feelings, and a spiritual essence or Self. Flower essences are energetic imprints of the life force of plants, which interact with these subtle bodies of the human being, and evoke specific qualities within us. We can say that they work in a similar way to inspirational music or art, which carry meaning through the vehicle of sound or light, while the flower essences work through the medium of water. How do I use flower essences? They are typically taken orally from a dropper bottle; the standard dosage is four drops four times daily. You can take the drops directly from stock bottles available in stores; mix them in a glass of water; or make a dosage bottle by mixing several drops with water and brandy (typically 1/4 ounce) in a one ounce dropper bottle. When mixing in a dosage bottle or glass of water, take two drops from each essence selected. There are many others ways of using them, such as in misting sprayers, in a cream base, or in baths. Can I use more than one essence at a time? Several flower essences can be taken together, mixed in a dosage bottle or glass of water. In making a combination, it is important to consider how the essences work together, as well as the appropriateness of each essence in the combination. It is best to limit the number of essences taken at any one time to three to five unless you are working with a skilled practitioner. How do I choose flower essences? How do I decide which mental or emotional issues are most in need of assistance? The best way to choose flower essences is to read some basic literature on the topic {available at Ascendant Books}. The next step is to decide which issues are most important for your health and growth. Based on your choice, you then select the essence or essences, which correspond to these issues. The more accurately you identify the issues you’re dealing with, the better able the flower essence will resonate with you and facilitate your healing.
