Healing Flower Essences

I use Bailey Flower Remedies where appropriate in my Acupuncture Therapy Clinic in Norfolk, and find the gentle help from the mental and emotional levels work very well indeed in conjunction with the usual methods one would normally find in an Acupuncture Clinic, such as Moxa, Cupping, and Electro-therapy etc.

Healing Essences are more frequently used these days for loved ones that can't tell us where the upset is located, particularly for children, babies, and not forgetting our pets. Moving house is a good example of forward thinking to start giving the drops a few days beforehand.

We perhaps are more familiar with the name of Bach Remedies, who hasn't used the 'Rescue Remedy'? The Baily ones are more for the emotional and mental levels than the physical ones, where the spiritual healing energies are originating.

Bailey Flower Essences were established in 1967 by Dr Arthur Bailey, who has a rigorous scientific background but has always had a love of nature and felt particularly drawn towards flowers, he created the Bailey Flower Essences over 25 years ago, and has been involved in healing and meditation for the last 30 years, and it was from that background that the essences were developed. 

As the essences relate to attitudes of mind rather than clinical symptoms, the essences are not prescribed for physical disorders like a headache for example which the Bach remedies are more directed towards.

The physical symptoms presented can vary enormously depending on the total mind-body-spirit make-up. For instance problems in childhood could result in symptoms of headache in one person, and M.E. in another. 

Mind and body inter-react with each other. When mind is not at ease neither is the body. It is this unease of the mind that is often the origin of our illnesses. Out of date attitudes and conditionings can dis-empower us and make us very unhappy. They stand in the way of positive personal change. The Bailey Essences act as catalysts for this needed change. They are concerned with helping us to come 'up to date'.

Note: They are not intended to directly treat or eradicate any medically identifiable condition. 

The essences are hand made using spring water and alcohol as a base. We all feel very strongly that the qualities of all essences of homeopathic concentration are greatly influenced by the care taken in their preparation, and in the production of the Bailey essences it is their aim to honor all the inherent healing potential of the flowers to the greatest possible degree. 

Normally there will be no difficulty in deciding which essences are the most appropriate, but sometimes there may perhaps be, in that case the therapist could use such methods as dowsing,using a DNA sample of hair, which is the favored method by Dr Bailey himself. I personally favor this method and have found it to be most effective over the years. 

Some examples of Component Essences are;

Shock and Trauma;

Anger and Frustration;

Stuck in a Rut;

Self Esteem;

Sadness and Loneliness;

Depression and Despair;

Confusion;

Tranquility;

Fears;

Grief;

Liberation;

Transition.

Recently, of particular interest for stress is the Frustration/Anger component. After accident, [physical or other,] Shock /Trauma is recommended. 

How should we take the drops?

It is advised that they are taken a half hour or so before meals three times each day, each patient has his / her own number of drops and times per day.

They can be taken in a little water perhaps in an eggcup, as this is a more accurate method of counting the number of drops, or directly onto the tongue.

If the problems are acute, such as in cases of grief or shock, then the essences can be taken more frequently – every hour or so if needed. Some people might feel the beneficial effects after only a day or two; others may take a little longer.  

As in other methods of Spiritual Healing the remedy works with the subject, and so a general upliftment precedes more noticeable effects, described as  “…weights were lifted off me…” by many people. 

A hair sample is used as the most convenient form of DNA to use for the purpose of dowsing, and also enables long distances to be of no object. The hair sample will be retained for re-dowsing if needed at a later date.

If you should like to try this method please state if an alternative preservative to alcohol is preferred, for example salt water.

The Bailey Flower Essences are compatible with and complementary to many other flower essences. They are gentle in their action, non-addictive and totally non-toxic. They can safely be used on small children and animals.
