Preparing A Personal Flower Essence Dosage Bottle: A Simple Guide From Kate
Dear Friend,
Welcome to one way of crafting a personal flower essence for yourself or someone you care for. This is the method I have used for many years to support myself and others on their life path.
You will be using drops of the Stock bottle flower essence(s) that you have chosen to make as a single OR combination essence. When you purchase a flower essence, it is generally a stock bottle you are ordering.
Flower essences, being vibrational remedies, are best prepared and taken with attention, care and gratitude. It is an honor and delight to share the light and energy of the flowers you have been called to with yourself or others. May your personal journey be enhanced and supported in remarkable ways over time, in tune with the flowers that call you.
Love, Kate.
The Steps:
A: Materials to have on hand:
*A 30 ml dropper bottle.
*Spring water or purified water.
*Label and pen/marker.
*Brandy or Organic vinegar- suggested, but not necessary.
B: Prepare the base solution:
- Some people prefer an alcohol-free dosage bottle. If this is the case, fill the personal dosage bottle with spring (or purified) water. In my years of practice many people have preferred to not have any alcohol in their personal flower formula. Just make sure not to touch the dropper to one’s mouth as this may cause a transfer of bacteria to the essence.
- Others choose to fill the dosage bottle 1/3 with either brandy or organic vinegar, to preserve the flower essence potency. Either is fine. I have a friend who likes ginger brandy as a base. J Fill remainder of bottle with the water you are using.
C. Adding the Stock Flower Essence(s):
- Before adding the drops of Stock essence, it is lovely to take a moment to share your gratitude for the flowers you will be experiencing and tap the bottle a few times to activate the essence.
- Place 3-4 drops (some like 7 drops) from your Stock Bottle Flower Essence into the Personal Dosage bottle you are preparing.
- You may choose to place drops of more than one essence into your Personal Dosage bottle. (3-4 drops of each Stock) Most practitioners choose no more than 4 or 5 stock essences when preparing a blend.
D. Labeling your Personal Essence:
- Write the name of your Essence. This may be a single essence chosen, if you are using a specific essence. Or choose a special name that holds meaning for the essence blend you may have chosen.
- Add the Date prepared on the label. You may want to keep a separate log of the essences and combinations of essences that you choose to refer back to.
E. Connecting with your personal Essence:
Once your Personal Dosage bottle has been prepared, take the time to connect with and enliven your essence by tapping the bottle on the palm of your hand a number of times. Some people choose a number that holds personal significance. (3,4, 7…). Here at Woodland Essence we choose 7x7 =49 taps on the hand with last few taps on our hearts.
F. Taking your personal Essence:
Each time you take your essence (3-5 drops 3-4x/day- or as you wish) take a moment to remember the gifts each flower holds and is sharing with you, that which you are experiencing in your body, mind and spirit. This is a precious relationship of support and care.
Final note: It is best to store your stock bottle Flower Essences in a cool, dark, dry place.
Place your Personal Essence someplace that is easy to remember and access!
"Thank you for your beauty
Thank you for your peace
Flowers all around me
Holding my heart…"
