I think it’s yet another remnant of the Piscean age that we still need to grow out of / move beyond — personally and culturally — that we expect to be given a rule book for everything in our lives. We believe if we just memorize and follow those rules, everything else will be taken care of for us. But nature and life aren’t like that — at least not for long. I believe we’re supposed to learn how to learn and then keep learning our whole life. What Andrea’s article reminds us of is the interconnected nature of life and our great need to be willing to immerse ourselves in life and nature and learn from “all our relations.” Each kingdom, each species, has its role to play and its lesson to teach if we will only sit still, pay attention, and open ourselves to that learning. Thank you for a wonderful story and a powerful reminder!

HI Elly! I loved this article. It’s very clear and pertinent to flower essence teaching.. it’s been one of the greatest pleasures of my life to see the wonders of synchronicity appear unfailingly for me, my students and clients whenever the flowers are given the respect they deserve… Love to all

Andrea, you have brought back to me good memories of my own “wyrd” introduction to flower essences! I was invited to a two-hour presentation on essences given by an alternatively-minded psychiatrist. She greeted us at the door with small cup of water that was charged with Green Bells of Ireland. I’ll never forget taking my first sip and feeling the energetic tingle.

As an energy medicine practitioner and fellow flower essence practitioner, I understand the agony of trying to explain a “right hand path” to a “left brained world.” I wish I had a perfect solution to it, but honestly, I am helped by the words of Jesus: “don’t throw pearls before swine.” In other words, be prudent with whom and how I share what I know is precious and sacred. When they are ready to hear it, they will. Until, I’ll keep my own ear pressed to the heart of God and nature.

Thank you for your wonderful article and reminder of the joyful re-discovery of what nature is longing to teach us if we just keep ourselves open to it, without trying to explain “what are flower essences?” from the point of view of our thinking minds. I have come across the same challenge of articulating what flower essences are so many times (chuckle) and this is helpful to remember to just allow (and invite) nature to be our teacher, instead of us trying to take on this role. My husband after 22 years of marriage, still calls me a ‘weird date’. May we continually rejoice in being ‘wyrd’!

Wonderful article, especially the exploration of the relationship between left and right brains. A powerful reminder that mystics, poets, and artists always explore the world of mystery and intuition long before scientists start trying to figure it all out.

Lovely article, thanks for sharing. I loved the way you invited people into your garden to let them communicate directly with the plants, that is so lovely.
Indeed we are All Connected. I can relate to your experience and people thinking you are weird, I’ve been called a ‘witch’ all my life! (I didn’t like it when I was a young woman but now it doesn’t bother me). I feel the public’s consciousness is much more raised and open now than it was back then and they are eager to learn and experience nature and Essences.
Long may we all be ‘weird’ and long may we co-create with Mother Nature and make essences!
Many Blessings y’all.
