5.0 out of 5 stars Quintessential Book on Flower Essences, June 15, 2003

By

This review is from: Flower Essences: Reordering Our Understanding and Approach to Illness and Health (Paperback)

If you read just one book on Flower Essences, this is the one to read. Ms. Wright takes using Flower Essences to a whole new level. I will admit I was a little skeptical at first by what is being put forth in this book and I was unsure as to where to start. I have now gotten my feet wet and I am trying some of the various techniques covered. I was taught that flower essences just treated emotional problems. In this book, Ms. Wright takes it farther. After all, if you take a wholistic approach to health, then you know that illness starts on the emotional, mental & spiritual levels and then filters down. Therefore, you can realistically say that treating your emotional, etc problems would greatly benefit your overall health. I also realized that when I have a cathartic reaction to a course of essences, that I can just retest myself when that happens to address the issue that has come up. But read the book for yourself and expand your use of flower essences.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best and only flower essence book you will ever need, October 13, 2010

This review is from: Flower Essences: Reordering Our Understanding and Approach to Illness and Health (Paperback)

I own one book on flower essences and this is it. I make and sell my own essences. I use essences on a daily basis, treating my self and friends and even animals and the land. I have over 100 essences from which I make different blends ranging from chakra blends to the elements to PMS, headaches, and spiritual development. I even make blends for my acupuncture friends and acupuncture protocols. All of this was made possible with the help of this book. (by the way, Perelandra makes the best essences on the market today in my opinion). This book is amazing, solid and it rings true with no 'woowoo'. Michelle Small Wrieght is very scientific in all her research and writing. This book is for the open-minded skeptic. It is for the beginner and seasoned professionals alike. I love everything Perelandra has to offer. thanks Michelle!
