Flower Essence Therapy with Shelley Sishton BSc (Hons), Dip. IFVM, ITEC
About Essences Flower essences, also known as Vibrational essences, recognise that our emotions and thoughts have an energy of their own. A vibration of their own. And that there is a free and exchanging flow of emotional and mental energy between our more subtle levels of being and our physical being. Distortions in the flow of energy can ultimately be translated into physical illness and disease.
Essences are catalysts which rebalance the distorted energy flow from negative thought and emotional behaviours. Fear becomes courage. Sadness becomes joy. Anger becomes peace. They are tools to remind our energetic being of what it feels like to resonate at our own unique frequency of optimum health and well-being. Essences empower us to grow from life's challenges. They are not a quick fix. Best used as part of a journey to understand the deeper nature of 'being', they enable us to explore emotional and mental issues behind the outward manifestation of illness or life issues.
The Bach Flower Remedies and Other Ranges Dr Bach was a well respected Physician and Homeopath. He was drawn to look beyond traditional means of treating his patient's illnesses when a number of them did not improve. His research and observations led him to concentrate on the emotions and mental belief systems that his patients were experiencing with their illnesses. By using his essences to treat how his patient was 'feeling' rather than how the disease was manifesting, he began to notice dramatic improvements in well-being, and most often, a return to full health.
His early work developing his Bach flower remedies led him to 'focus on the individual, not the disease'. The growing variety of essences available today in addition to Dr Bach's very powerful 38 healers, such as The Australian Bush Flower Essences and Alaskan Essences, is in response to the increased levels of vibrational stress our physical and subtle bodies have to deal with on a daily basis.
We are exposed to many more biochemical, electrical and energetic toxins in our everyday world through food additives, chemical pollutants and technological advances (computers, mobile phones, microwaves, and more) than people in the early part of the last century. As well as having to deal with increasing levels of emotional and mental stress that accompany today's pace of life. Is it any wonder our subtle energy bodies are under constant stress to maintain a balanced state of energy?
How are they used? Essences are most often taken orally in the form of drops. They are energetic infusions of nature, in water, and contain no physical elements at all. Certain combinations are also available in creams, and in sprays.
About Shelley A personal journey through traditional fertility treatment led me into the field of Mind Body health, where I discovered the power of Vibrational Essences.
I have worked with essences for 12 years now, during which time I have completed a 2 year Diploma training course in Vibrational Medicine with Clare Harvey, world renowned authority on essences.
I work with flower, gem, animal, environmental and sacred site essences from all over the world, creating intuitive mixes for clients to empower them to make changes and manage challenging times in their lives. I also incorporate intuitive healing and other techniques into my consultations. I conduct personal consultations, and offer distant healing work, with a number of clients in Europe and my home country of Australia.
I now work with adults, children and babies, using essences in the home, workplace and environment as well. I use essences extensively for my own animals, including dogs and ducks, and can offer advice for using them with your animals. Recently I have created a new range of essences - the Purely Essences, Mother & Baby range - to support the journey through pregnancy, birth and into new family life together.
My husband Ian and I have set up The Energy Centre to share information to enrich mind body and soul with wide ranging audiences. Based on our joint advertising backgrounds, we also offer marketing advice to holistic businesses. Feel free to call me if you have any questions on 07770 755951.
