The Ultimate Flower Essence Guide

I have no hesitations about giving this book 5 stars. It has been so indispensible to me that I owned 2 copies of it for several years (finally gave one away). I actually entered the basic info out of this book into my palm pilot as well, by hand. If you are interested in flower essences, this is the best book I have ever seen on the topic. I have a number of them, but this one is the bible. In three sections, it tells you how these essences work and how to use the book, gives you an index of issues to treat with the remedies and differentiates each one to make it clear which is right. Then the third sections devotes a page to each of the Bach remedies, as well as all the Flower Essence Society remedies from California. The writing is beautiful and accurate, filled with compassion. It is also *precise*, and not all flaky like much of energy medicine theory. Any beginner will have no trouble using this book and understanding the language. As a practitioner, I couldn't do without it. I cannot praise this book and its authors too highly. My remaining copy is battered from use. If you are a mere dabbler, you may prefer a book that is shorter and less informative. However, I think some of the truth is sacrificed in such books. If you want information on flower remedies from other parts of the world, you will also need to look elsewhere. This is the best place to start, however, in my humble and enthusiastic opinion.

What a Great Book

I first learned about flower remedies when I read Radical Healing by Rudolph Ballentine. Like many people, I started my explorations of flower remedies with Bach Flower Essences, since I found more information about them on the Internet than the other essences. The Bach essences that I tried had a very positive impact on my life. As I started to want to expand my use of flower essences, however, I began to notice gaps in the Bach repertory. I don't mean to insult Dr. Bach (I still use and love Bach Flower Essences), but it seems to me that his remedies are directed at people from England in the 1930s. The world has changed a lot since then. One day when I was looking for more Bach essences, I found this book in a local health food store. I looked at the middle section (which matches issues to remedies) and selected a new California essence that seemed much more directly on point to my life. I had such a positive experience with the first one that I tried that I went back to the store the next day and bought my own copy of the book. I read the entire book that day, and continue to use it as a valuable reference for me and my friends. Bottom line: Bach Flower Essences are great, but you shouldn't overlook the California essences too. In fact, you might just find the perfect one for you in this book like I did.

More than just a reference book.

I read this book front to cover. It's a great reference book on Flower Essences, both English and North American, but the discriptions on the actions of each flower are new information on how spirit issues can effect the emotions and the body. I had never read any psychological work that took this perspective and I found it very useful and tremendously insightful. Even if you don't choose to buy the flower remedies, the analysis of the problems and possible causes are often enough to motivate the spirit toward change. Additionally, I'm greatful to the Company who produces these remedies, as they include local flowers to the U.S.A. Dr. Bach said "the cure to your disease lies in your own back yard", yet all that the Bach Flowers offers is from Europe. FES has all the North Amercian Flowers discribed in the book and in flower remedies. I particularly enjoyed looking up my Grandmothers favorot flowers and reading about the issues they assist in. I found that often they spoke to a long term family dynamics that existed for 3 generations, the flower preferrences were the intuitive attempt at my grandmothers cure. It's fun to look up your favorot flowers, and see what issues you may be working on. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in flower remedies, spiritual/emotional issues or thier connection to plant energies. The book is extremely well written and organized. Thanks :-)

The One Flower Essence Book to Have

I bought this book and I was not disapointed. I own serveral flower essence books, but this one is the best and the one I cannot do without. It cross references every emotion from feeling disconnected to Mother Earth to Anger to Problems connecting with your father. You name it, it's cross referenced here. The book is timeless and modern at the same time. It has a great introduction on flower essences, the whys and wheretofores, and explains each English (bach) & North American essence in detail and with care and insight. It is a privilage to own this book.

A reference work which is non-pareil in its field.

This book has cross references on emotional states and flower essence possibilities which expands the original work done by Edward Bach. Anyone interested in this discipline or just wanting to pinpoint their own feelings by reading through the descriptions of possibilities--will find themselves pleasurably immersed in this fascinating book.
