Hi All,

Sometimes you can get an immediate sense of calm or relief from the first dose or first few days of taking flower essences. They go through phases--after relief, there is a bit of a self-examination phase a bit like a mild form of cognitive dissonance, and then after that, conscious realizations of the deeper changes that have occurred.

The best way to learn flower essences is by sitting in nature with flowers and tuning into them--you have to try it, to know what I mean. Another way is reading about their descriptions, and then taking them yourself, to feel and experience all the additional wisdom inherent in them that is hard to articulate in words.

I do believe the most elegant descriptions of flower essences are in a book called Flower Essence Repertory, by Kaminski and Katz.
