Flower essences represent the spirit of the plant, offering a safe and effective method for emotional healing and self-discovery. They can help you gently navigate life’s transitions, ease anxiety, calm a restless nervous system, and deepen your self-trust. How Colleen Came to Work with Flower Essences Colleen Schaffer has been passionately curious about flowers and plants since she was a little girl. She recently left a 20-year career in corporate real estate to work with flowers, plants, and offer energy healing full time. While looking at my intuitive Edge website to prepare for this episode, Colleen realized “This is literally why I left my career. You have to remember how magical you are.” Her favorite place to be is still outside. She loves looking at plants and seeing what’s popping up. As she says, “there’s a lot that we can learn just through observation.” If you look closely at a plant, she insists you can often get real clues about its healing properties. What Is a Flower Essence? A flower essence represents the spirit of the plant. Colleen explains that it’s made by placing fresh flowers into water, creating an infusion with sunlight. From there, you dilute the essence several times, so it works like a homeopathic remedy. In a way, what remains is the electrical or energetic information of the flower, which is the highest expression of the plant. This kind of remedy works well with your own energy and electrical system. It’s a very safe way of healing and working through emotional issues. As Colleen puts it, flower essences are great for people learning to heal themselves and trust their own intuition. You really can’t go wrong with them, take it the wrong way, or take too much. They are so gentle. The mother formula is preserved with alcohol and for this, Colleen usually reaches for 100-proof vodka. Others prefer to preserve it with brandy. For the dosage bottles she sends home with clients, she often uses a red shiso base instead. This is a plant-based alternative for anyone sensitive to alcohol. When Flowers Talk Back Before making an essence, Colleen sits with the plant to get to know it. She doesn’t feel like she receives messages from angels or spirits — but she does get insights from the plants themselves. “It sounds like my own voice in my head,” she says, “but it’s smarter than me and way more insightful.” I have my own version of this. Over 30 years ago, setting up pots on my first front porch, I was about to plant dahlias when I heard, “Plant me in a big pot because I’m going to grow big.” There was no effort made to communicate with plants. I’d never heard a plant talk before. The Findhorn Garden in Scotland open this amazing even more for me. In the late 1960s, the founders — broke, having lost their jobs in hotel management, working land that wasn’t built for growing anything — were guided to plant a garden anyway. One was drawn to nature spirits and elementals, one received messages from God, another talked with what she called the overlighting angels of the land. They’d need wood, and it would fall off a truck in the road. And the garden grew cabbages that weighed 40 pounds. Reading about this sent me down an enchanting rabbit hole of nature-spirit stories. I also read The Elves at Lily Hill Farm, which is about a vineyard tended by unseen helpers. Working with any plant can bring back that same childlike wonder. How does a maple tree know how many leaves it needs? How does a little whirling seed become a whole tree? One year, I noticed my maple trees had flowers. They were tiny green ones I’d never spotted before. There’s a lot to learn if you can settle yourself, relax, and actually open your eyes. How Colleen Works with Clients When Colleen works with Reiki clients, the essence that person needs will come as a vision or its name will come to mind. That’s what guides the personalized bottle she sends home with them afterward, pulled from hundreds of formulas she’s built over the years. Sometimes one essence is the most powerful thing you can use. Other times Colleen blends two to six. Some commercial formulas go much further like Green Hope Farm’s anxiety blend which uses close to 30 different flowers. According to Colleen, plant medicine is intelligent enough to go where they’re needed, the same way energy work does this. What’s meant to find you will find you. I was drawn to Wild Oat, during a stretch of feeling a little lost about my direction. Colleen loves working with this essence too. She had one client stay on it for months, feeling calmer while she worked through a big decision. Colleen compares the way Wild Oat feels to, “a bowl of oatmeal that’s warm and comforting.” Flower Essences vs. Tinctures – Not the Same Colleen also makes tinctures, which is an herbal remedy meant for something closer to a medicinal response. An alcohol-based tincture gets into your bloodstream faster to address a ...
