directed above, will retain their strength indefinitely. If they are kept for several years, a slight sediment may form at the bottom of the bottle; this is not harmful. Sometimes, over a lengthy period of time, the rubber bulb on the dropper top will soften and lose its tone; it should be replaced with a new sterilized one.

When using the boiling method a large quantity of sediment may form. This should be filtered twice. Then, even though you have filtered the liquid a couple of times, after some months more sediment may form again at the bottom of the Mother Essence bottle; this should be re-filtered and rebottled.

The Medicine Water will be preserved quite adequately during the relatively short time it is used by the individual.

It is best to sterilize the bottle each time it is refilled.


SELECTING AND USING FLOWER ESSENCES

My approach to manifesting anything, whether it is health, friendship, stuff, travel, whatever, is to focus my attention on what it is I want, rather than on the absence of it, and I give very little thought to what I don’t want or to anything that doesn’t feel good to me. Therefore, when I use flower essences to assist other people to enhance their life processes, I ask him or her to get in touch with how they want to feel within themselves. I ask them to identify what feels most like their true nature, to envision their most desired self-concept, to ascertain who they truly are and what they want to express.

To assist this process, I have arranged the following list of Dr. Bach’s particular flower essences by homogeneous positive aspects of personality. I have assembled word pictures individuals can use to help form a clear vision of what they feel defines their nature most closely and how they want to function. I note the corresponding flower essence whose vibration resonates most closely to this inspiration. I also include the related “shadows” of that nature, those traits no longer wanted, and those contrary states of mind and moods one can slip into that cast a shadow over inner light and joy. But clouds can merely hide the sun for a while. The light is the enduring reality that is soon revealed with the gently effective assistance of flower vibrations. I trust this will be of assistance to those who are attracted to using this subtle and remarkably effective vehicle of herbal medicine.
