A
Flower Essence Perspective
For Emotional Well-Being
with FES Certified Linda Cohen
Flower
essences are unique, completely natural, liquid preparations made from
blossoms of fresh flowers. “Nature’s vitamins
for the emotions,” each flower holds within its
blossom a code for healing emotional imbalances. Dr. Edward Bach, in
the 1930s, in England, began treating patients according to their
psychological states in order to seek real cures
for their ailments, rather than simply palliating symptoms. As herbs
work to heal the physical body, essences work to release negative emotions
and promote positive character traits such as patience, faith, courage
and joy. Emotional healing often filters to the physical and significantly
aids in healing bodily ailments as well. Having great success, his time-honored
remedies can be found today in health food stores and many pharmacies
throughout the US and many nations abroad.
In the late 1970s, in Northern California, The Flower Essence Society,
FES, was founded by Richard Katz and Patricia Kaminski. With a global
outreach to more than 60,000 practitioners, FES has pioneered clinical
flower essence research, along with field botanical studies of flower
essence plants. Greatly expanding upon the work of Bach, FES flower
essences also address many modern-day issues. Inner well-being leads
to outer well-being including: improved self-image; improved health;
enhanced creativity; coping with stress; releasing addictions; embracing
one’s sexuality; releasing pain from physical and sexual abuse;
right livelihood; better relationships; greater clarity and optimism;
self-empowerment through conscious living and joyful self-expression;
actualizing of goals and resolutions; greater spiritual awareness; support
through current crises; as well as assisting long-term inner growth
and change. The Flower Essence Repertory,
by Patricia Kaminski and Richard Katz, is a comprehensive guide to North
American and English remedies which cross-references and provides in-depth
descriptions for more than 140 flower essences.
While a certified holistic nutritionist through Gary Null since 1991,
Linda has chosen to focus her healing practice exclusively using flower
essences. Based in Manhattan, she counsels and teaches
around the country. Sessions may be in person, by phone or by email.
Sessions include a custom-blended flower essence formula with complete
descriptions of all flower essences, affirmations, and suggested “soul
work.”
