These are a collection of flower essences from the Brazilian rainforest. Through an individual consultation a specific remedy is formulated based on the intention of the client and the swing of the pendulum. In the words of Maria Alicia, co-director of Medicina Da Floresta who produces these essences: "Humans can seek support in all the forces of creation in order to reach their potential. In the plants, they will find specific help for every imbalance, every confrontation, because in the plants we find sentiment and sensitivity but not self-consciousness because they never disconnect from Creator. The Creator endowed each plant with an aspect of His likeness and in it put health as a sign of its perfection. Thus, when we make use of the medicine of the plants we achieve a level of benefit in accordance with the degree of relationship established with it. The more elevated out faith, the greater the cure."

She continues; "Our studies with the flowers of the rainforest indicate their capacity for cleaning, removing obstacles, clarifying the mind, opening the heart, auric clearing, etc. However, each flower possesses a particular form of working with these gifts plus other characteristics of its own. In general, the essences reveal and activiate the spiritual process of individuals. They penetrate the hidden part of the being, breaking down the barrier that separates the spirit from the material in search of global harmony. This is a specific power of the rainforest, that through close association, leads one to his/her spiritual identity."

The flower remedies utilize our natural affinity with the plant kingdom, transcend the time/space continuum and tap into our innate wisdom to produce the desired healing effects. We may experience more vivid dreams, past life and/or childhood memories, heightened sensitivity and a variety of physical symptoms, depending on our receptivity. I have found the flower essences to be extremely helpful in conjunction with other therapies and in times of transition, stressful life situations, physical illness and for general well beingness.

I have worked with the Amazonian Flower Essences since 1991 and am a certified practitioner. Consultations are usually about one hour and are on a donation basis. Telephone consultations are also available.
