Vibrational Essences are one of the many natural ways you can help maintain physical and emotional health.  To read more about what Vibrational Essences are, click here.  Read on for more in-depth information about how to use Vibrational Essences and also which essences might be the best for you!

How To Use Vibrational Essences
Traditionally, Vibrational Essences are taken orally by placing 2-3 drops under the tongue three or four times daily for one month.  Alternately, you may place 2-3 drops in a small amount of water and sip at intervals throughout the day.  To increase the effect of a particular Essence, it is recommended that you take it more often, as opposed to just taking more drops at one time.  After one month’s time, it is a good idea to re-evaluate, and determine whether you feel you still need that particular Essence.  Some find that putting a few drops of Vibrational Essence on pulse points or acupuncture points is also helpful.

Which Vibrational Essence is Right for Me?
There are many different types of Vibrational Essences, but perhaps the most famous are the Bach Flower Remedies, a system of 38 flower remedies developed by Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s.  Here are just a few of the Bach Flower Remedies, and the corresponding emotional symptoms for which they may be helpful:

Aspen – Vague, unknown fears which seem to have no basis or explanation.

Cerato – Lack of confidence and inability to make decisions; constantly seeking advice from others, which is often misguided.

Clematis – Frequent feelings of dreaminess, drowsiness, not being fully ‘awake’ and lacking interest in life.  Not happy in the present circumstances but always living in hopes of happier times in the future.

Gentian – Feelings of discouragement; when any small delay or hindrance to progress causes doubt and disheartenment.

Larch – Not feeling as good or capable as others.  Expectations of failure inhibit one from making any strong attempts to succeed.

Olive – Feelings of exhaustion and weariness from much physical and mental suffering, with no strength to make any further effort.  Daily life seems like hard work, with no pleasure.

Red Chestnut – Finding it difficult not to be anxious for other people, but worrying too little for oneself.

If you’re interested in learning more about Vibrational Essences in general or Bach Flower Remedies in particular, there are hundreds of great sources online, or you can find helpful books in almost any library or book store.

Medical researchers confirm the connection between negative emotions and illnesses, or dis-eases.   Experiencing negative emotions is never a fun ride, but on a physiological level, negative emotions actually cause the disruption of nervous system functions, hormone levels, and immunological response.

Because of their subtle nature, Vibrational Essences are exceptionally supportive in healing the body if an illness is rooted in negative emotions or negative mental patterns.

What are Vibrational Essences?

Vibrational Essences are homeopathic-style liquid preparations made from various materials such as plants, precious metals, and sometimes even gemstones, to help restore inner balance and harmony. They have long been used as a healing system, but were made popular in the 1930’s by Dr. Edward Bach, a well respected physician specializing in bacteriology at a major London hospital.

Ahead of his time, Dr. Bach believed that “true healing cannot occur unless there is a change in outlook, peace of mind, and inner happiness”.  He discovered 38 specific flower essences which help to heal on an emotional level, including the well-known “Rescue Remedy”.

How Do Vibrational Essences Work?

Vibrational Essences use the emotional system as an access point to bring harmony to your body, heart and mind.  Not only do they treat the physical symptoms of an illness, but they also reach emotions relating to the deeper causes of an illness.

Specific Vibrational Essences address the particular emotional imbalances that may be contributing to physical symptoms. For example, those who chronically hold in anger may find that they frequently experience stomach and liver ailments. When they free themselves of the anger with the appropriate essence, healing subsequently occurs in the gastro-intestinal system.

Your thoughts and your feelings are programmed in your mind, similar to a computer program. This program releases neuropeptides into the system, which ‘imprint’ into the fluids of your body. Thus, your body can be physically ‘imprinted’, so to speak, by your views, thoughts and feelings about your life.

Are Vibrational Essences Safe?

Vibrational Essences are very safe for everyone and can be used in conjunction with other therapies to enhance the healing process. They can be helpful in dealing with emotional issues relating to career, money, relationships, future goals and ambitions, and more.

If you are coping with a physical imbalance, emotional turbulence, job burnout, relationship stress, are at a crossroads in your life or facing a challenging situation, Vibrational Essences could be instrumental in helping you to regain your balance.
