How To Process Flower Essences at HomeSelecting

essences is often a process of inner growth and awareness. Flower

essences are the blossoms of plants prepared from a sun infusion in a

bowl of water, then further diluted, potentized, and then preserved

with brandy.Difficulty: AverageTime Required: 4 to 6 hours Here's How:Sterilize

your equipment by washing with hot soapy water. Be sure not to touch

the inside surface of bowl and jars after washing to insure the purity

of the essence to be processed.Intuitively connect with the

Deva (entity or life spark) of the flower you have chosen to process in

deciding how many actual flower heads are to be collected (generally

one to five).Collect the flower head by snipping them onto the

glass saucer while being careful not to handle them. Touching them or

sniffing them will alter the flower's energy.Remove the petals

using scissors or tweezers. Allow the petals to fall onto the glass

saucer without handling them with your hands.

Fill two-quart bowl with one quart of distilled water.Lift

the petals one by one and place them in the bowl of water so that each

petal touches the water surface. The petals will float. Shake loose all

the stamen before hand.Place the bowl in the garden or sunny place outdoors.Repeat steps 2-7 for each individual flower variety that you are making during the preparations.Give

prayerful request to the nature spirits for the healing properties of

the flowers be treated by the sunlight. Allow 30-60 seconds per bowl

full of petals. Deva energy is cosmically released into the water.Allow the grounding process to take place. 3 hrs. - sunny day, 2 hrs. - partly sunny dayFill

two quart canning jars with approximately 1 qt. of brandy. Recommended

ratio is 40-50 percent brandy and 60-50 percent essence (no more than

50 percent brandy).Fill the remainder of the jars with the solarized flower solution.Secure the jar with clean lid and bands and label with name of flower and date.The finished jars can be then placed in the center of your garden or an alternate " power spot " for final processing.
