Flower essences used in isolation so frequently bring disappointing results. This is because flower essences represent only the summer season of the plant cycle. Just as Nature cycles through the four seasons of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, so our own lives are continually moving through cycles. It is not the cycles themselves that cause distress and disease. It is our inability to flow or move through different phases of the cycle that impairs our lives.

Flower essences can indeed help us if we are moving through a phase of abundance and full bloom, parallel to the summer season. If however, our life experience has entered a dissimilatory phase of releasing and letting go, of breakdown of existing forms and structures, flower essences are contraindicated. They are not the right type of subtle energy to assist this stage of the cycle. Rather, the OriginalAA Falling Leaf Essences of autumn assist us to clear away the old and free up space for new and better things in the next phase of the cycle.

On the other hand, if not much is currently happening in our life experience, the ground is fallow and awaiting germination of new ideas and new things, the OriginalAA Seed Essences of the winter season will excel. And when we enter the new creative phase and young shoots of our creativity break through the topsoil, OriginalAA Shoot Essences of the spring season will outperform flower essences.

Again, if we are hypersensitive and feel vulnerable, needing to work on our boundaries and protection, the OriginalAA Tree Bark Essences will outperform flower essences by a wide margin. On the other hand, if we feel we have made some progress using flower essences, but want to go deeper, in fact to get to the root of the issue, OriginalAA Root Essences excel.
