Flower Remedies And Gem Essences by Dr. Amit K. Saiya

How do flower essences work?

To understand how flower essences work requires a recognition that the human being is more than a physical body, but also incorporates a "body" of life energy, "body" of sensitivity and feelings, and a spiritual essence or Self. Flower essences are energetic imprints of the life force of plants which interact with these subtle bodies of the human being, and evoke specific qualities within us. We can say that they work in a similar way to inspirational music or art, which carry meaning through the vehicle of sound or light, while the flower essences work through the medium of water.

Modern physics has known for nearly a century that matter and consciousness are intertwined. However, medical science still generally works with a nineteenth century model of the human being as a mechanism in a world of machines. We expect that in the coming century medical science will develop ways of studying the impact of consciousness on health, and we will learn more about the ways in which flower essences work. However, empirical research, which consists of the collection of case studies and practitioner reports, will remain the primary source of knowledge about how flower essences work.

Flower essences work by a principle of resonance. They will be most effective and noticeable when they actually match the core mental or emotional challenges you face. The Flower Essences do not cause side-effects or aggravations, but it may be that the essences are stirring up repressed feelings that need to be cleansed before complete healing can be achieved. In any event, the essences will not themselves cause any symptoms or problems that are not already in you and are entirely beneficent in their effects.

Taking Flower essences will help you to feel more alive and in touch with your goals, values, and creativity. However, the essences do not create euphoria, nor do they banish pain and conflict. They work by stimulating awareness of our conflicts and challenges, and they strengthen our ability to work through the obstacles to our health and growth. Thus, taking flower essences may at times stimulate some discomfort and awareness of pain or conflict. This is a normal part of the journey towards wellness, and can lead to a much more complete state of health than the suppression of pain, or artificial stimulation of feelings through bio-chemical intervention.

What are Gem essences and how do they work ?

Gem essences dynamic, highly-effective and safe healing remedies made from gems / healing stones to promote healing from the inside-out. They are used to strengthen our positive qualities and characteristics, and for healing and overcoming the emotional, psychological, and spiritual patterns of our past.

The basic principle behind the use of gem essences is the same as that of flower essences: that the interaction of water and sunlight with the essential energy of crystals charges the water in which crystals are placed with their subtle energy. When you drink this water, that energy works to dissolve the blockages which promote the persistence of painful emotions and prevent personal and spiritual growth.

Do precious stones,semi precious stones, natural stones and crystals have a healing effect?

Yes they do have a healing effect. In the course of a Harmoniesation procedure for a client/patient I do get a strong indication that healing stones are needed to bring back the Harmony between the physical,mental,emotional and spiritual aspects of the client patient or just the reverse the client / patient has to stop wearing a stone already in his/her pocession. I have prescribed stones for the client / patient to good effect. Sometimes the stones which are indicated in a dowsing procedure are very rare or never heard of. I then proceed to find the best stones in the highest and best interest of the client /patient. Within a maximum of 21 days I have received positive feed back from the client / patient that the subtle enegies of the stone have opened doors earlier difficult to pry open,new paths have come forth. I have tried to answer a few questions which I am sure would come up to the inquisitive Readers mind. Questions as to what subtle energy means,their effects,the spectrum of influence and how it aids personal growth.do take the time to read on.

A subtle energy is given out by the Healing Stone

Each type of stone gives off its own unique form of subtle energy. The particular energy given off by a stone is determined by its internal crystalline structure, and by the atomic vibrations that are specific to that structure. Certain stones, including most of the stones normally thought of as healing stones, vibrate in a way that resonates with and strengthens particular energies inside each person. These are the energies of the inner self, the energies that make up the attitudes and human qualities of a person. This resonance can occur because the inner self operates by using a type of subtle energy that is similar to the subtle energy of crystals and stones. The reason this type of energy is called "subtle energy" is because, although it is physical, it is less physical in nature than normal types of energy such as heat, electricity or mechanical energy.

Subtle energy is what puts the "meta" in metaphysical. It is subtle because it is hard to measure. Science hasn't figured out how to measure it yet, and what science can't measure, it doesn't believe in. In spite of its many great achievements, science would not even know where to begin to measure your personal energy in order to find out how much subtle energy you are putting out in the form of human qualities such as patience or acceptance at any given time.

Because of its somewhat less physical nature, subtle energy reveals itself in a quieter, often slower and more gentle way than the more physical types of energy. For example, if you put a stone or quartz crystal in your pocket and carry it around with you, it may take some time, perhaps a day, before you notice the effect from it.

The Effect of Distance

The effect that stones and crystals have on the inner self falls off with distance. The larger a stone is, the more energy it puts out, and the farther that energy radiates from it. Although a small stone vibrates in the same way as a large stone of the same type, it affects a smaller area with its energy than a large stone.

For example, if you wear a small quartz crystal around your neck, it essentially puts out personal energy, in that the energy doesn't affect others much, but stays very close to you. Its sphere of influence is just around you, with an effective radius of about a foot. Hand held crystals of about 3/4 inch diameter have a larger sphere of influence, with an effective radius of perhaps two to four feet. And a three inch diameter crystal will fill a large room or small apartment with energy that will have a positive impact on everyone in that area.

Crystals, Stones and Personal Growth

By themselves, crystals and stones do not make you a better person or a different person from what you are. But they do resonate with the subtle energy of your inner self, your attitudes or human qualities, to make them stronger and more intense, so it becomes more obvious to you what is going on inside. This makes it easier for you to see who you are and what you want to change about yourself in order to become a better person. But keep in mind that your attitudes don't change unless you want them to, and that you are the one responsible for any growth you do. A stone can only amplify an aspect of who you already are. To grow as a person you must do the work yourself.

Crystals and stones can be of really good help in personal growth, but keep in mind that they are not magic. What they do is give you an edge in growth because of how the vibrations of their crystalline structure interact with the inner self. Crystals and stones have the ability to resonate with the different energies of the inner self, thereby strengthening those energies. This additional strength gives you the internal boost your energies need to make it easier to take steps towards growth. It gives you the extra insight and determination you need to take the leap of faith that is necessary in adopting a new attitude. It also gives you the strength to not be afraid to change something about yourself. But in spite of all this, you must still do the actual learning and growing.

The magical qualities of crystals and stones lies in the effect they have on people. Because of how they work, crystals and stones have the ability to make someone feel more positive, feel better about life. Among other things, the way they interact with a person's inner self enhances the human qualities of loving and caring, which are often considered rather magical in themselves. Crystals and stones are really considered magical only because they enhance the magic that already exists in people's lives.
