Flower essences work energetically on the emotional level.
Let’s say we had a magic machine that could measure emotions. We hooked up a number of people and animals and we noticed that serene people and animals had a printout that looked like:
All parameters are the same intensity, or measurement. Now, let’s say we measure someone that is jealous and their chart looks like:
What flower essences do is even out all the missing energies so that after treatment the machine will measure something that looks like:
As you can see, the bars are all even now, showing that the energies are now all equalized, resembling the “serene” state.
As time goes by and the new, more stabilized energies become ingrained, or locked in, the machine might even see this as all green, as in the first chart, depicting an entirely serene and balanced individual.
All of this is hypothetical, as I know of no machine that can actually measure emotion. It may be that one exists, I just don’t know of it. It doesn’t really matter, since we see changes before us regardless of whether a machine measures it or not. I certainly don’t need a machine to tell me what my eyes are seeing.
In animals, these changes are particularly pronounced because they don’t have the mental ability to check their emotions. Thus an enraged chimp will tear its enemy to pieces and a scared dog will run for its life. With animals, what’s on the inside translates directly to what’s on the outside. That’s why we can safely say that emotional balance leads directly to behavioral improvement.
Most people can’t tell the difference between thought and emotion. But with animals this is a crucial differentiation, since they are at the mercy of their emotions and instincts. With humans, we can overrule our emotions with thought, rationalization and moral teaching. It’s what the philosophers and theologians say sets us apart from animals. When we are enraged, we can stop ourselves form killing. When our hormones are raging, we can stop ourselves from having sex. We can override our emotions and biology. But with animals, it’s a different thing altogether and the instinctual responses in animals are hardwired.
So when we can find substances that can change emotions and emotional responses in animals and humans without any side effects, we have stumbled on a very amazing and powerful thing. Currently, the only substances that really work on these levels are pharmaceuticals and psychotropics. Now I’m not a fanatic about anything really, and I say that there is a time and a place for everything, but by and large, the side effects of these chemicals don’t really lend themselves to long term use, and, they don’t treat on a causal level, unless brain chemistry is the problem.
The biggest problem I have found in treating with flower essences is the difficulty in finding the exact combination to treat the exact imbalance. With animals it is much easier to formulate for a given behavior and emotion on a mass scale since many of their emotions are stereotypical and their mind/mental function is not as developed. This also goes for small children as well, and flower essences are phenomenal for children caught in unpleasant situations such as divorce, or demonstrating problems such as ADD. In older children, the mind becomes more developed and the efficacy of flower essences changes, with formulation becoming more challenging.
The typical problem we see in treating animals is in dosing. First we have to establish that the formula can work, and this we do by giving standard doses for about two weeks and observe behavior. If there are changes in behavior and with no other factors changed, it is safe to assume that the changes are due to the flower essences. Then we can change the dose, doubling or even tripling it as needed. There are no safety concerns here, so there is no problem in dosing as such.
The length of treatment usually depends on how ingrained the behavior is. Obviously the longer the behavior has been going on, the longer the treatment will need to be undergone, because what we are talking about here is changing behavior.
After a while, the flower essences will have reached a plateau of efficacy. This means that you have reached about as much good as your going to get from the formula. This can be three months, or it can be six months, but at some point, it’s as good as it gets.
Now, some animals get amazing, stunning, even miraculous changes. They are not typical. Some animals see nothing at all. But by and large, most animals see some to remarkable change in the first month to six weeks. At of this point, we are unable to predict who will see what changes and when they will occur. Much, I suspect , has to do with human compliance.
