Q-1. What are flower essences?
Flower essences are a form of vibrational remedy. They act at a subtle level to restore harmony and infuse positive energy into the subtle energy matrix that forms the foundation of our physical life. Flower essences are traditionally made by placing flowers in a bowl of water and then leaving the bowl in the sunlight for 4 to 5 hours. The effect of the sunlight is to transfer the energetic imprint, or vibrational frequency, of the flowers into the water. Each flower has its own very specific and very unique frequency, and water is a medium which can hold that kind of energetic imprint. Sometimes essences are also made in moonlight. The resulting essence is then decanted into bottles and preserved, usually with brandy (our essences can also be made up with Red Shiso as a stabilizer). Flower essences were brought to the attention of the western world by Dr. Edward Bach in England. However, there is evidence that they have been used in some traditional cultures for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Most flower essences are created to correct or improve a particular condition in a person's physical, mental or emotional life. Choosing the right essence normally requires the ability to use kinesiology, dowsing, or a high degree of intuition. Selecting the proper flower remedy is crucial; otherwise effects will be minimal or non-existent.
Q-2. How are Cosmic Essences different from traditional flower essences?
Cosmic Essences are different from most flower essences in four major ways.
(1) The effects of Cosmic Essences are usually faster and more noticeable than with traditional flower essences. Sensitive people generally can feel an instantaneous result.
(2) It is easier to select the appropriate remedy with Cosmic Essences than with most types of flower essences. With any vibrational type product (homeopathics, flower essences, gem elixirs, etc.) it is essential to select the correct remedy. Using the "wrong" remedy will not be harmful, but it will produce little or no result. With homeopathy, for example, people study for years to learn how to choose the right remedies and potencies for their clients.
With flower essences, as the field has expanded, there are literally thousands of different essences to choose from. For any emotional, mental, or spiritual state (such as grief), dozens or even hundreds of flower remedies will exist that may be appropriate for a given condition. Unless a person is expert at dowsing or muscle testing, making a selection will be very difficult, and all but the best dowsers and kinesiologists will generally need to have the remedy physically present in order to test accurately. With Cosmic Essences, the selection in this case would be very straightforward. "Releasing Grief" is a universal essence which is designed to be appropriate for any person who is either actively grieving or who carries repressed grief.
(3) Many of our essences are goal-oriented rather than problem-oriented. Most flower essences are created to correct or improve a particular condition in a person's physical, mental or emotional life. For example, the original Bach Flower Essences are each described as being helpful for some illness of the body or spirit. While we do offer the Releasing Series to assist with healing of emotional blocks and wounds, the majority of our essences are created to uplift the user towards positive and specific goals. Let's say, for example, that you wish to create more fulfillment in the area of intimate relationships in your life. You might wish to use one or more of the Releasing Series to create more openness in your soul and psyche. However, you would probably also choose to use essences such as "Soul Mate," "Sacred Sexuality," and perhaps "Healing Love" and/or "Self Love."
(4) The preparation of Cosmic Essences is different than the traditional method. While the essences are made with flowers, sunlight, and water, an additional step is taken where the water is also potentized by powerful celestial forces and energies. Please see Q-3 for more information
Q-3. How are Cosmic Essences made?
Flower essences are usually made by placing flowers in a bowl of water and then leaving the bowl in the sunlight for 4 to 5 hours. The effect of the sunlight is to transfer the energetic imprint, or vibrational frequency, of the flowers into the water. Each flower has its own very specific and very unique frequency, and water is a medium which can hold that kind of energetic imprint. It has been proven (see Links) that thought, intention, and emotion will also affect water in a most dramatic and discernable way. This can be scientifically proven by viewing water molecules under a microscope, and can be felt by sensitive people.
Cosmic
Essences are created with perfect blossoms and water, like other flower
essences, but Elora Gabriel—the creator of Cosmic Essences—takes
an extra step. After selecting the flowers and placing them in water,
she then moves into a state of deep meditation. In this state, she forms
a clear intention in her mind of what she wants an essence to be; calls
on the higher dimensional beings whom she feels would be the most appropriate;
gives them the pattern, the purpose and intention, for the essence; and
asks that they continue potentizing the water until the pattern is set
and the remedy is complete. "I still use flowers because that brings
in the devic energy, and I feel it imbues the essences with a strong connection
to nature, something that is missing now from the lives of many people,"
says Elora, "but what really defines the essence is the intention
that I create. Therefore Cosmic Essences are really a co-creation between
three realms. First, the nature realm, represented by the flowers and
the devas; second, the human realm (myself); and third, the spirit realm
and the higher dimensional beings who do the actual potentizing."
Q-3A.
What flowers are used in making each essence and why aren't they listed
on the bottles?
In traditional flower essences, the flowers used determine the quality and character of the resulting essence. With Cosmic Essences, flowers are used basically to anchor the devic energies and provide a link to the nature kingdoms. With the exception of the Sacred Datura essences, therefore, the type of flower utilized in the preparation is of minor importance. Given the creative process that we use, six completely different essences could all be made from the same flower, and conversely two virtually identical essences could be made from two different flowers. We often select flowers which have a subtle vibratory quality that will easily harmonize with the energetic pattern we intend to create.
Q-4.
How do I take Cosmic Essences?
The easiest
way to use Cosmic Essences is to place 3 to 10 drops in a couple of ounces
of water and sip the mixture. Add "Amplifier" if you want an
enhanced experience of your essence. (We recommend first trying an essence
without "Amplifier," and then adding it if you would like a
stronger effect.) Another method of taking Cosmic Essences is to place
several drops on the palm of a hand, rub both palms together, then close
your eyes and pause for a moment or two to feel the changes in your body
and energy field. We also enjoy applying the essences to areas such as
the solar plexus, heart, forehead, base of the skull, and crown of the
head.
A dropperful from a stock bottle may be added to your bath, an experience
that will also be enhanced by adding some "Amplifier." The spritzers
can be sprayed around your body and auric field, or in your living space.
"Healing Love" or "Soul Mate" are best applied to
the heart chakra, while the "Releasing Series" often works well
with the solar plexus. "Kundalini" may be spritzed on the entire
spinal area, especially the base of the spine.
If you make a dosage bottle (see Q-9) then you can also
take the essences by placing several drops under your tongue. Just remember
not to touch the dropper with your hands or tongue. If you do, immediately
rinse the dropper with water or dip it in boiling water for a second,
then allow to cool and return the dropper to your bottle. You can also
use drops from a stock bottle under your tongue, but be careful not to
contaminate your dropper.
There are basically two ways to use the remedies in terms of dosing and
length of use. The first is what we might term “situational use”.
This would include taking a dose of “Relaxation Blend” when
you are tense and tired, for example, or “Releasing Anger”
if you just had a fight with someone. With situational use, you can simply
keep a bottle or spritzer of an essence on hand and use as needed, even
as often as every 15 minutes or so. Cosmic Essences are wonderful for
situational use, as most people find that the effects are so rapid and
noticeable.
Constitutional use means that you will be taking an essence over a longer
period, such as several weeks or more, to help resolve a long-standing
problem or instill certain qualities deeply into your being. For example,
if you tend towards victimization, you could use “Martyr No More”
regularly until you feel that you have shifted that pattern in your life.
For constitutional use, usually take an essence four times daily. Generally,
you will know when you are complete with an essence when you no longer
feel an effect from it.
People often ask us about combining a number of essences. We have included
a number of notes on our site as to which essences combine particularly
well. A rule of thumb is that essences of a similar vibration will work
well together, whereas those of a very different quality will not. For
example, “Peace and Calming” would blend well with other quiet,
calming essences like “Purity” or “Serenity”,
but not with a high energy, active essence like “Winds of Change”
or “Fearlessness”. “Healing Love” would combine
well with “Self Love”, “Soul Mate”, “Divine
Mother”, or “Heart Chakra”, but would probably not work
well with “White Lightning”. We feel that our Combination
Essences are truly wonderful in their enhanced blending of several
essences, and in many cases are superior to single essences.
If you have purchased a number of essences with the intention of using
them together, here is how you could do it. Let’s say that you have
ordered several high energy ascension-type essences, such as “Ascension”,
“Kundalini”, and “Crown Chakra”. You have also
ordered “Releasing Despair”, “Healing Love”, and
“Releasing Grief” to work on some emotional issues. You can
combine the first three (such as putting drops from all three in a glass
of water) and take that several times a day. You can also combine the
second group and take that group together, but preferably two hours away
from the first group. Taking two groups, with two to four essences in
each group, will generally be as much as most people will wish to use
on an ongoing basis.
Q-5. Can I take the wrong Cosmic Essence?
It is possible to select an essence which is not the most optimal one for you; however, with Cosmic Essences the process of selecting the correct remedy is much easier than with traditional flower essences. For example, there are probably over a hundred different flower essences for grief, and it can be difficult to find the best one for you. The Cosmic Essence "Releasing Grief" carries a universal vibration for the healing and resolution of that emotional state.
If you had severely repressed your grief to the point where you were unaware of it and selected another essence which less directly addressed your personal situation, that essence might be less effective than if had you chosen "Releasing Grief." Nevertheless, there would be no harm in taking that essence, and probably some benefit.
Q-6. Can I take too much of a Cosmic Essence?
No, there is no harm in taking large amounts, unless you are affected by even small amounts of brandy. in which case you should obtain your essences made up with Red Shiso as a stabilizer.
Q-7. Are there any side effects?
You may (or may not) experience sensations of emotional release when using Cosmic Essences, particularly the "Releasing Series." Otherwise, there are no side effects known.
Q-8. How should I store my Cosmic Essences?
Please
keep your essences upright in a cool, dark place. It is also most important
to store them away from any electrical or electromagnetic devices which
produce strong electro-magnetic fields. These include computers, microwaves,
refrigerators, washers and dryers, blow dryers, and TVs. The worst culprits
are the refrigerator and microwave, whose fields extend as much as 10
feet in every direction, passing through walls and floors as well. Therefore,
if you have a two-story house with the refrigerator and microwave on the
first floor, you would not want to store your essences on the second floor
directly above the kitchen.
To prolong the life of your essences, do not touch the dropper or the rim of the bottle. If you inadvertently touch the dropper to something, you can rinse it with pure water or dip it briefly into boiling water, then allow it to cool for a moment and place it back in the bottle.
Q-9. How do I make a dosage bottle?
If
you would like a Cosmic Essence stock bottle to last longer, you can make
a dosage bottle.
You will need the following items:
1or 2- ounce amber or blue glass bottle with dropper.
brandy
distilled water
Original Cosmic Essence stock bottles
Directions: Remove the rubber top from the glass pippette of the dropper.
Boil the glass bottle and glass pipette for at least 7 minutes, allow
to cool, and shake out any moisture. Using sterilized cotton gloves, replace
rubber top back onto the glass pipette. It is important that you not
touch the dropper or the rim of the bottle with your bare hands.
Then fill the bottle with about 1/4 brandy and 3/4 distilled water. Add 7 drops of the stock bottle for a 1-ounce dosage bottle, 11 to 12 drops for a 2-ounce bottle.
Q-10. Are Cosmic Essences safe for children?
Yes. However, we suggest that when giving these remedies to children, you start without the addition of "Amplifier." If you find that stronger results are needed, then "Amplifier" can be added. The exception to this general rule would be the spritzer bottles, which are fine to use for children.
Q-11. Can I give my pets Cosmic Essences?
Yes, most definitely. However, alcohol is not good for cats. If you wish to give Cosmic Essences to your cat, please prepare a dosage bottle with a very small amount of brandy, rather than using the stock bottle. You can then add the remedy to your pet's food or water, or rub some on paws, ears, or other areas where skin is exposed.
Q-12. I am a health care practitioner. How can I use Cosmic Essences with my clients?
We support your work of healing and helping humanity, and believe that you will find Cosmic Essences to be a valuable addition to your practice. We are happy to extend a 15% discount off of the retail price to all practitioners. Below are some ideas and suggestions for using Cosmic Essences in your practice.

Preparing your session space:
You can set the tone for a session prior to the client's entrance by spritzing your space with an appropriate combination. "Guardian Angel" would be appropriate for clients who have serious issues with safety and protection. "Heart Healing" could be used for those with emotional wounding, and so on. If you have a small re-circulating fountain in your waiting room or office, you can add a dropper-full of any essence from a stock bottle to your fountain periodically in order to create a desired ambience.
Using Cosmic Essences during the session:
If you have a set of Cosmic Essences in your office, you can use them as needed during your sessions. Because the essences work so rapidly, they can be a tremendous aid to your work with clients.
For example, tense, frightened people and hyperactive children have been known to quiet down enough so that they could receive deep energy work when using the "Relaxation Blend." If issues of psychic attack or invasion arise, "Protection" would be invaluable. "Releasing Fear" and "Releasing Sexual Trauma" are two other essences which have obvious applications. "Releasing Neural Nets" can be applied to the forehead, temples, crown chakra, and base of the skull when deep belief systems are being challenged. "Grounding" may be rubbed on the soles of the feet for clients who tend to leave the body.
Sessions do not have to be interrupted for the client to take the essences, as they can be spritzed or directly applied to the chakras or other areas of the body.
After the session:
Many healers will smudge their treatment room after a session to clear any lingering energies. As an alternative, try spritzing the room with the refreshing, cleansing, and uplifting blend, "Cosmic Cleanser."
Follow-up with the client:
You may also wish to send your client home with an essence or two, which could be combined in a dosage bottle. (Note that not all essences combine well. Generally it is easy to determine which essences will combine harmoniously by their description. For example, "Winds of Change" is an active, exhilarating essence, and would not combine well with a very quiet essence like "Purity." However, "Purity" would combine well with "Peace and Calming.") After intense energy work, soaking in the bathtub with a dropperful from a stock bottle, and the addition of a couple teaspoons of salt, will be highly beneficial and soothing.
Remote work:
Essences may be placed in a broadcasting device such as a radionics machine. They may also be used on the client's etheric body during a session.
Q-13.

Q-14. I am sensitive to alcohol. Please advise me on how to take the essences, since they contain brandy.
If your sensitivity is not too severe, then please follow directions for making a dosage bottle. The amount of brandy consumed in using a dosage bottle is very small. We also find the remedies to be very effective when rubbed or spritzed on the palms, chakras, spine, etc. If you have an extreme sensitivity to alcohol, you can order your stock bottles made up with Red Shiso instead of brandy as a stabilizer.
Q-15. Are Cosmic Essences the same as aromatherapy and/or homeopathy?
No,
they are not. Flower essences (including Cosmic Essences) have no scent,
and they work by their vibrational qualities, not by essential oils.
Regarding homeopathy, homeopathics are a type of vibrational remedy. They differ from flower essences in the manner of preparation. They tend to work closer to the physical body and are most often used for various types of physical conditions. Flower essences are most often used for emotional, mental, and spiritual conditions.
Q-16. When can I expect to see results?
As with any natural remedy or product, time varies according to the individual. Many people have reported feeling rapid or even instant results with Cosmic Essences. For example, using the “Relaxation Blend” or one of the Meditation spritzers produces an immediate relaxing, calming, and quieting effect. Sensitive people will feel a flow of energy up the spine within seconds of taking “Kundalini.” The “Releasing Series” deals with deep emotional issues and may require longer for the full effects to be noticed.
Q-17. How do I know when to start and when to stop using an essence?
There are no exact guidelines for starting or stopping an essence. If you pay very close and sensitive attention to your own state of being, you should be able to sense the assistance a remedy is giving you, as well as when its effectiveness is diminishing so that you do not need it any more. When you feel that you state of being has shifted, and/or when you no longer feel an effect from the essence, you are probably complete with that essence. In general, however, for mild or temporary conditions, several weeks may be enough. For severe or long-lasting situations, several months would be recommended. It would be helpful if you have a friend or practitioner who can test you using kinesiology (muscle testing), electrodermal screening (a sensitive electromagnetic testing method), QXCI testing (a highly sophisticated diagnostic device), or other methods of testing remedies.
We urge all conscious individuals to learn some type of self-testing method,
such as kinesiology or dowsing. It takes time to become proficient at
any of these methods, but the result is a tremendously useful tool which
can be helpful for testing supplements as well as for receiving information
on a wide range of subjects. Several types of kinesiology are described
here: http://www.ascending-star.com/kinesiol.htm.
Once you know how to test yourself, you can ask questions such as:
- Is this remedy beneficial for me?
- How beneficial, on a scale of 1 to 10?
- How many times daily should I take it?
- Is it now time to stop taking this remedy?
- Should I add another one to it?
Generally, such testing does require having the remedy physically present so that you can touch or hold it when testing.
Our favorite method of muscle testing is described as follows: Use your dominant hand. Place your thumb and fourth (ring) finger together, making a circle. Use a slight-to-moderate pressure. Now, affirm: "I am connected to the Harmonic." What is the Harmonic, you ask? It is said to be an energy anchored onto our planet by Meher Baba. Be that as it may, the Harmonic is a gentle, soothing, relaxing stream of energy which anyone can tap into. When you connect to the Harmonic, it feels like stepping into a warm bath and allowing your tension to fall away. Others say that the Harmonic is similar to the easy flow of a deep river. Connecting to the Harmonic makes muscle testing far more accurate, because it immediately drops you into an alpha state, thereby bypassing the rational mind.
Continue practicing until you can feel the Harmonic, while using the hand position described above. With this position, "no" means that the finger and thumb stay closed. A "yes" answer will result in the hand opening, either slightly or wide open. (On the above-referenced web site, the second type of muscle testing shown is a partial description of this technique.)
Each time you want to test something, start by affirming: "I am connected to the Harmonic." Allow your consciousness to be fully present in your hand and arm; allow the energy of the Harmonic to flow through your arm. When you connect, your fingers will open, indicating "Yes, I am connected." In practicing, start with simple yes or no questions to which you know the answers (e.g., "Is my name Jane?" or "Is today Tuesday?"), and gradually work up to more difficult questions, such as testing essences and supplements (e.g., "Is this remedy beneficial for me?" or "Should I take it three times a day?"). Mastering this technique can change your life! It is made more effective by deliberately dropping into deeper levels of alpha or even theta, for those who have learned how to control their brainwave states by meditation or biofeedback.
