Essences

Flower essences have been widely used as traditional remedies in many cultures to promote emotional health and wellbeing. Edward Bach created a range of flower remedies in the 1930’s and ‘40’s that were appropriate to the needs of people at that time. Today, our lifestyles have changed, the pace of life has accelerated and many people feel stressed, unable to relax and out of balance. Emotional wellbeing is seen as a major component of good health and quality of life. Flower essences are often described as ‘vibrational therapy’, because they carry the vibrational imprint of the plants from which they are derived.  Essences are simple, pure, safe and natural solutions to help manage the emotional demands of everyday life.

Making a wellessence is a process that engages the body, the mind and the spirit, at all stages of production. The process is one of respectful intent. We use dowsing to focus and help us to sense the ‘life force’- the living vibrational energies of individual plants and the spiritual qualities of particular places. Depending on season, time of day, the weather and cosmic influences, the use of the land, these vital energies can change subtly, as can their healing potential.  

Making as essence therefore requires us to be physically present at a specific time and place to focus our intent and attune to the spirit of the plant or the power of a place. We dowse the energy ‘field’ unique to the location, which can then be harnessed. We do not harm the plants or the environment. We carry out a simple rite, placing a bowl of fresh spring water within the energy field; we focus our intent, so that the spring water takes on the energetic qualities, for example, of plants with their flowers touching the water, or of the environment. Essence making also captures something of the qualities of the people making them.   

We experience plants and places at a spiritual level and we gain insight and awareness of their role in the order of things. Through meditation we become open to the messages offered so that we can better understand how the living vibrational energies within our wellessences can help re-balance and manage people’s emotional wellbeing.

Our wellessences range has been made by visiting Holy Wells in Cornwall. Over centuries, people have established a relationship with wells for ritual cleansing, for healing, for reflection and insight. People continue to visit these sites, out of curiosity, out of respect for their heritage and for the ‘sense of place’ they imbue. Each well has its own character, almost a felt presence at places such as Madron and Sancreed wells. The water from each spring or well has a unique vibration pattern or ‘energy’ signature, determined by its source.  With our wellessences you can experience the essence of these places and what they offer to help us meet the demands of everyday life today.
