How to Use Flower Essences

WHAT ARE FLOWER ESSENCES?

First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® are completely natural preparations made from individual New Zealand native flowers, ferns, trees, seeds and plants. First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® are powerful tools for personal transformation and for restoring harmony and balance.

Made with water, plants and sunlight, flower essences have been used by people for over 40,000 years. Flower essences contain the energetic blueprint of a flower or plant. When made in cooperation with plant devas and following the correct sacred protocols, flower essences become vibrational medicine that can be called “healing waters”.

In the making of First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® the highly developed state of consciousness of the maker and the process of conscious cooperation between the maker and the plant kingdom has ensured that each plant has released its full vibrational healing potential and is transferred to a person who takes the First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand®.

First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® are pristine plant vibrations or plant energy held in pure water. Based on the ancient holistic healing principle that vibration moves faster through water, the holistic healing vibration of a plant is transferred to a person who takes the First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® via a natural process of resonance transfer. Resonance transfer is a dynamic natural and non-intrusive process of working with the powers of nature.

Much like a tuning fork that is used to tune a piano, First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® tune a person’s vibration to a state of genuine natural holistic wellbeing.

"The universal award winning vibrational medicine system that is First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® is based on the premise that the holistic human organism can be likened to a musical instrument. Like all musical instruments it needs to be kept perfectly tuned."

Franchelle Ofsoské-Wyber
Founder, Creator and Head Tutor
