Having worked with flower essences for over 15 years, I’ve observed that there are several methods of selecting flower essences that work for nearly everyone:
Your eyes are naturally drawn to the flower you need like a dowsing rod identifies the source of water. Flowers with qualities that will catalyze the most positive response from your body and mind will naturally stand out, visually. Your flowers will seem more interesting than the others, and it varies greatly from person to person. This method is my favorite, as the thinking mind does not get involved and overcomplicate things.
Which flower are you most attracted to? Does the message resonate?
If you love this method, take our flower quiz!
Take a minute to reflect on what your most desired states of mind are, or how you are when you’re at your best. Is it the experience of joy, love, peace, creativity, healing the past, getting a boost of confidence or do you just need a night of really deep sleep? Move toward the flowers or flower elixirs that awaken those particular qualities in you.

Maybe you feel resentful about the dirty dishes being left in the sink. Or you have a difficult relationship that’s giving you tension. Whatever it is that gives you stress, identify the source and the symptom. Maybe you’re stressed about an upcoming presentation, making your shoulders and neck stiff. You can take flower elixirs to release tension in the body, as well as to give you clarity, focus and confidence for your presentation.
By observing both the perceived sources of your stress and how they present themselves as symptoms in your body, you get key information about which flowers can help you shift out of it the fastest.
