used. Just put a dosage amount into the water can and see what kind of difference it makes! Just the weekly watering using an essence for growth can make a difference in the size and health of the plant. Experiment with different plants and different essences.
Always have a calming/grounding essence with you, like the Rescue Remedy mentioned earlier. If a situation arises where people are truly stressed, in shock or even just very angry, give them some essence. If they will not take the essence take it yourself, even if you are already calm. We are all beings of energy and we pick up the vibrations of others and react to other energy patterns.
If the situation is explosive and YOU take the calming essence, the others in the situation will find themselves calming down also, just because of your energy level. Many times a client will come to me having just left an argument at home and they will be very upset. I give the grounding essence to them and take it myself, kind of like double insurance. I have not been involved in their argument but I find that by taking the essence I generate a much more calming, quiet energy that helps them to balance and slow down quickly.
Here are some essential oils and flower essence combinations that work well together. Experiment to find which works best for you. This will mean delving into the many web sites and books that list flower essence energies and matching them with essential oils to make your own combinations. You can come up with some very personal blends that will work on all 4 energy levels specifically for you or your clients.
For calming down without being put to sleep; try two drops each of lavender, cedarwood and orange essential oil with a chamomile or lavender essence (Harbell) in a small amount of base oil (such as sunflower or almond) and rub it on your skin, or you can put this blend into a mister (minus the base oil) into a spray bottle of water and mist yourself.
If you want to calm down and fall asleep try putting 5 drops of Clary sage with 10 drops of lavender and adding essence of lavender (Harbell) or dandelion (Gurudas) or one of the very calming essences such as Crisis Control (White Shemn) or Rescue Remedy (Bach). This
