Mother Nature is a healer, and one of her most powerful gifts comes in the form of flowers. Each variety has a different “personality” to promote physical and emotional wellness. As Heaven’s masterpieces, flowers are Divine vessels of healing, and Flower Therapy is a method of working with different blossoms—based upon their appearance, fragrance, essence, colors, and energies—to address specific needs and desires.
Flower Therapy involves working closely with nature, including the fairies and angels. Fairies make wonderful allies, as they can help you manifest your heart’s desires. When you work with flowers, you automatically access fairy energy. Since flowers are home to these elementals, we’ll also discuss how to go about picking wildflowers in an energetically responsible way.
I (Doreen) have discussed fairies and angels at length in many of my other books, and in this one, you’ll learn about the angels associated with each flower. Angels are our loving friends, involved in every aspect of our lives, and present throughout the planet. They are filled with joy when they see us utilizing God’s healing gifts through working with nature.
Flower Therapy is based upon nature’s healing abilities, similar to naturopathic medicine, which is my (Robert’s) clinical specialty. Like the herbal treatments in naturopathic medicine, flowers can be used to create potent healing effects.
Since the fragrance and colors of flowers extend into the energetic realm, Flower Therapy helps with metaphysical issues. It can deepen your spiritual practice and open up your psychic abilities. To further this experience, we’ve included information about giving Flower Therapy readings, which are similar to psychic or angel readings in that they provide guidance and direction for you, your loved ones, and your clients.
Throughout this book, we’ll show you methods for working with flower energies, such as sitting next to a particular plant, bathing with specific flower petals, or looking at a photograph of the flower associated with your needs. We’ll discuss how to make and use flower essences safely and effectively. Finally, a large portion of this book is devoted to a directory, which lists common flowers and their healing properties.
Everyone can utilize, and benefit from, Flower Therapy. We trust that you’ll enjoy this modality and will use this manual as a healing reference tool. Whether you’re working with flowers in your own garden, or you purchase them in order to heal a specific situation, they will bring more emotional, physical, and spiritual beauty into your life.
