When I first started to use flower essences, I was very much drawn to them. Something about their powerful simplicity really spoke to me. I then became a certified Flower Therapist and I have been using flower essences with my animal & human clients as well as teaching classes about the essences for the last 12 years and I love them!
Other “Spotlight” Flower Essence Posts…
So far, I’ve put the Spotlights on, Mimulus, Larch, Honeysuckle, Crab Apple, and Five Flower Emergency Essence. In each I talked about how these essences help to bring about re-alignment, emotional re-balancing, and Well-Being to your animal friend(s).
In my free booklet… “25 Flower Essences For a Happier Pet”
In my free e-book, I describe 25 essences that I use regularly. As well as sharing some of my secret combinations that I’ve been using for years, that I’ve found extremely helpful in my work with animals. It is easy enough to download, simply click on the link ”Flower Essence Book Download” and follow the instructions.
What are Flower Essences?
Essentially the way they work are at a being’s vibrational and emotions levels. The essences are vibrating at a higher speed and more POSITIVE level, then that of the current negative behavior. When taken, the essence opens up the blockage(s) and similar to a turning fork that is struck and put in a glass of water, re-tunes the body to the more positive vibrational level. This is bringing BACK an animal’s natural feeling of Well-Being and thus positive emotions and behaviors with it.
I have personally found that since an animal’s natural state is to be in a constant state of allowing and Well-Being and that they gravitate naturally towards nature and her healing power that results in animals are incredibly fast and can be very dramatic.
Sounds great! Where Do I Get Them?
At the bottom of this post is a link to a my online store where I sell my essence line called “Flowering Hills Essences”.
Please remember! Flower Essences are wonderful tools. However they are NOT a substitute for veterinary care. ALWAYS consult your Veterinarian on any cases dealing with your pet’s health even if you just suspect there might be a problem!
So, let’s continue to look at flower essences with putting…
The Spotlight on Heather…
Heather is the remedy that is called “The Identity” Flower”. This particular flower deals with the souls ability for self-identification and empathy. For animals exhibiting attention seeking, or “needy’ behavior. A good example is a “Me, Me Me” “pay attention to ME!” attitude.
I often give this essence for both a short-term situations OR long term situations. An example of a short (or acute situation would be: shortly before a guest visits the house and you suspect your animal(s) are going to be somewhat over-bearing and needing attention. As opposed to the more chronic or long-term situation such as: an pet that is needing to be the CONSTANT center of attention all day, every day and this has been going on for some time.
Below are some examples, which might help you to decide if Heather is right for your animal friend(s).
What are some common Heather uses?
• When a pet is very possessive (in an almost unhealthy and clingy manner) to their human companion(s)
• When your pet is in need of being the CONSTANT center of attention, and will do anything to be so. That may include barking meowing, running around when guests are visiting, anything to bring the attentions back to them
• Self-centeredness seems to be a predominated trait in your pet’s personality.
(please note this could also be a trait of certain breedsof animals aka pedigree cats, in this case Heather would NOT work)
• Your animal friend seems never to be happy when you are of their sight, they are “stuck to you like glue”.
• A pet that has a history of being abandoned, either through the loss of their animal sires (parents) or by their previous human companions.
• An animal with a history of being left alone for long periods of time and thus does not presently like being alone.
• If your animal friend incessantly makes noise ex: barking, howling, yammering, or crying. (please note: this could be a sign of a even bigger physical problem! Consulting your veterinarian immediately is advised!
• The animal is quiet, but insists on having your attention constantly, ex: pushing your arm to be rubbed, pulling at your clothes, wanting to be near you no matter where or when.
• Your pet is not at all happy when left alone.
These are naming only a few examples.
Tip: Consulting your Animal Communicator to verify that these are the problems is also a very good idea!
How do I give flower essences to my animal friend(s)?
Normally putting the drops in the animals water works very well, and if you have a multiple animal household, don’t worry, the essences will not do anything to the other animals, unless they need it.
For small animals (cats, dogs): Give 2-3 drops in their water, from each bottle and then put new drops in whenever you change the water.
For bigger animals (Horses, Cows, Llamas, etc) anywhere from 8-16 drops on a slice of bread, or muffins have been know to work too! Or take an apple, cut it either in halves or quarters, then use a knife of stick to make small holes into each slice and then put the essences into each of the holes. That should do the trick!
If you do not notice even the SLIGHTEST of changes after a 24-72 hour period then it might mean your friend will need to try another essence.
Where do I find the Flower essences?
I have my own line of flower essences! My “Flowering Hills” Essences can be found in my online store.
