How to use Bach Flower Remedies

Unblock and release negative emotions and patterns with Bach Flower Remedies.

Bach Flower Remedies are an Energy Healing tool using vibrational energy to heal, balance and harmonize the body on all levels, body, mind and soul.

Englishman Edward Bach developed the Bach Flower Remedies in the 1930’s. The 38 flower essences relate to specific negative emotions. The vibrational energy of the flower essences unblocks and releases the negative emotion or pattern from the Energy Field (aura), which then reopens the positive energy flow between the physical body, energy field and the higher self. 

Bach believed you need to recognise and acknowledge negative behaviour patterns, then release the negative behaviour using the appropriate flower essence. Allowing you to align with the corresponding positive behaviour to reconnect with your higher self and to live your purpose.

Disease and imbalance begin in the vibrational energetic bodies long before they manifest in the physical body. Bach flowers treat emotional and mental imbalances in the energy field, if a physical symptom has developed by treating the energy imbalance in the Energy Field the physical symptom will improve.
