I heard that I can take 10 drops from a
bottle of a Perelandra flower essence, add it to a solution bottle of water
and preservative, then use it just like your essences. This way I can extend
the amount of flower essences and use them longer. Is that true?
No, we do not recommend diluting the Perelandra essences further in
order to extend them. The form in which we sell them is referred to as a
"concentrate." This is 10 drops of mother tincture added to a 1/2-ounce
brandy/water solution. What you have heard applies to "stock bottles" of
essences. In that form, you are working with the mother tincture. Stock
bottles are generally more expensive than concentrates. If you attempt to
further dilute the Perelandra essences, you will be compromising their
quality and effectiveness. Because you only need to take one drop of
essence concentrate at a time, they should last for quite a while.
Diluting the essences in order to extend them is not
the same as making an essence solution or dosage bottle (a combination
of essences to be taken over a specific period of time). For dosage bottles,
you will need to take a dropperful of the solution rather than one
drop. Refer to the book, Flower
Essences, pages 104-108 for information on making essence
solutions.
If the essence dropper touches a tooth,
lip or finger and is then put back in the bottle, is the essence contaminated
and does it need to be replaced? Is there something I can do so it can be
used, like the Restabilizing Process?
It is contaminated and needs to be replaced. The
Restabilizing
Process is only for use when essences have been exposed to airport
x-ray or similar security devices.
I'm testing for a lot of essences. Is that
normal?
It is difficult to define a "normal" number of essences for which a person
might test positive. Many factors are involved. Your essence needs depend
on the balance of your health on all levels (physical, emotional, mental, and
spiritual) and the conditions and issues that impact that balance. That is
different for each person and can change from day to day. Often, when a
person first begins to use essences, he tends to test positive for many or
all of them each day. It is common for this to be the pattern for the first
three months of regular essence use. The body is responding to the
opportunity to have the support provided by the essences. If you continue
to use essences on a regular basis, you will probably find your essence
needs will eventually decrease and level off. Essence needs can also
fluctuate with different types of testing procedures (basic, telegraph,
peeling . . . )
Keeping records will help you get a sense of what
your personal patterns are in your essence testing. You will be able to
notice when there is a change in pattern and use the information from your
testing to learn about your health and how you respond to things that
challenge the balance of your system.
What happens if I take the wrong
essences? Can I take too many essences?
Trust your testing. If you test incorrectly and take an essence that is not
needed, your body will automatically eliminate it. The essences do not
contain anything harmful. You can combine and take whatever number of
essences test positive. You only need to take one drop of each
essence if you are taking them in the concentrate form.
To make sure I get the essences I need
without having to go through all that testing could I combine all of the
essences into one solution, take some every day and let my body sort it
out?
That would not be an effective or efficient way to use essences. Although
your body will eliminate the essences that are not needed, it is required to
work to do that. The idea is to take essences in order to support the body,
not to make it work harder. Also, a large part of the benefit of essence
testing is increasing your awareness of your health patterns and needs. By
tracking the essences for which you test positive and getting feedback
through essence definitions, you can learn what causes your system to go
off balance and how you tend to respond to issues that challenge your
balance. As you gain awareness about your health through flower essence
testing, you can begin to make more conscious decisions to change
personal patterns and responses and become more responsible for
maintenance of your health and well-being.
If I am doing a basic flower essence
test daily, do I need to test for dosage every time or will I be covering
dosage needs by testing every day?
You do not need to test for dosage on a basic test if you will be doing
another basic flower essence test the same or next day.
