Your Essence Essentials for the Month
Flower, Gem & Crystal Essence Suggestions to help you this month
We’ve carefully selected a range of essences to help you stay aligned, centred and connected with your true self this month so you can make the most of current opportunities for emotional balance and spiritual expansion.
Astrological Essence for the Month
Towards the end of his life, Dr Bach was exploring the link between the first 12 Bach Flower Remedies he discovered (The Twelve Healers) and the 12 astrological signs.
Impatiens Flower Remedy for Arians
We are in Aries season, the astrological sign that Dr Bach felt would most benefit from Impatiens essence.
Confident and fearless, with unstoppable energy and strong individuality, Arians naturally take the lead in all areas of their lives. As the first sign of the zodiac, they like to be first out the gate and have a strong drive to succeed in their goals and ambitions.
However, they can be impatient and impulsive and get irritated or aggressive with others who are slower than they are.
If your Sun or Moon is in Aries, Impatiens Flower Remedy can help you to slow down and be in the moment instead of rushing ahead of yourself all the time.
Slow Down and Be Present
Are you driven by an inner sense of urgency and pressure? Is your mind often racing ahead of you thinking about ‘what’s next’? Do you get impatient and irritable and have a quick temper? Do you prefer to do things yourself because other people are way too slow?
The soul learning for Aries is to slow down and connect with the still part of yourself that lives in the present. Taking Impatiens will help you to feel patient and calm, knowing there is time for everything. It helps to inner tension and irritability so you can feel peaceful and present.
Team Choice
This is where one of the Crystal Herbs team shares which essence they're taking and why. This month Sam shares his experiences of taking the Emotional Body Essence....
Emotional Body Essence
Is anyone else feeling the emotional ebbs and flows at the moment? I’ve been feeling a strong inner push to work on what feels like a rich seam of old buried emotions and it’s bringing with it a new and deeper understanding of myself.
It feels really liberating, it’s fun ( sort of ), rewarding and interesting, but equally quite intense and hard work. Well I suppose that seems to be the way things are at the moment energetically!
To support this inner journey, I’ve been taking the Emotional Body Essence. It’s a Flower, Gem & Crystal essence combination from the Rainbow Light Body Essence range, and as the name suggests it’s all about working with your emotions.
I always find this a really potent combination for doing deep emotional work and releasing old deeply held feelings. Often when I’m taking it I find I’m able to connect more deeply with issues that I’m consciously working with, and at other times there can be some quite unexpected things that come up to be released.
It’s a really, really interesting essence to use and if there is deep emotional work to be done, this is a very good Essence to support you through it. It’s one that I find I need to take from time to time and one that I will often recommend when working with people needing to clear and release old emotional patterns.

Inner Guidance for Daily Life
From the quiet inner space in our hearts, we have been tuning into the essences which will support you best with the issues that are most important and relevant for everyday life right now. During times of inner transformation, it is particularly important to strengthen your connection with your energetic foundations so you feel grounded and present. The strong energies of these times require us to enhance our capacity to anchor the light of our spirit more fully into our physical bodies instead of transcending our earthly reality in an attempt to experience higher states of consciousness.
-------------------------------------
Earth Star Essence
Earth Star Essence is all about grounding and connection to Mother Earth. The Earth Star is a subtle energy point about 9” below your feet that aligns you with Mother Earth and the magnetic grid. Activating the Earth Star gives you solid and stable energetic foundations because it helps you to ground, to focus your energy, and to align with the vibrational frequency of the Earth.
Taking Earth Star Essence can help you to feel a stronger connection with your physical body and the Earth itself, while expanding your consciousness so you can pull through more of the frequency of your soul/spirit into this lifetime. It is both deeply grounding and spiritually expansive at the same time.

-------------------------------------
Loosestrife Flower Essence
Loosestrife is an excellent flower essence for grounding and alignment because it helps to align the lower three chakras for a strong, stable energetic foundation. If you are someone who is easily ungrounded, ‘spaced out’ or has difficulty acting upon intuitive guidance, this would be a really helpful essence for you. Loosestrife flower essence will help you to maintain energetic balance and stability during times of intensity, chaos and change, so you can contribute your higher vision to the collective process of transformation that is underway. Take Loosestrife at the start of any visioning, manifesting or creation process to help to ground and create your vision.

Step Over The Threshold: E-Light April 2024
In this month’s E-Light we are exploring the unparalleled opportunities for taking a quantum leap in consciousness that are on offer in the cosmic energy flow this month. We look into the exciting energies of the solar eclipse on April 8th, that invite us all to step over the threshold of the old into something new and very different. We also look at the wonderful opportunity for deep inner healing that is opened up by the presence of Chiron on the eclipse, and review the possibilities presented to us by the meeting of Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus later in the month.
A Quantum Leap in Consciousness
This month we are being invited to take a quantum leap in consciousness and to step over the threshold of what has been, into a new more expanded reality of possibilities. Over the next few weeks, the energy flow will be seeking to guide us to let go, step into the flow of our soul self, and to allow our consciousness an opportunity to expand in ways that will allow us to see beyond the everyday paradigm of existence. There is also a very strong thread in the energetics this month that will be taking us into a process of deep healing for any old emotional wounds, and as yet unprocessed pain that might hinder us from stepping out of the old stories and into something new.... [...]
You can find out more in April's E-Light Newsletter here.

Receive spiritual guidance, wisdom and clarity, learn more about our collective expansion of consciousness, and make the most of opportunities for personal inspiration, healing and transformation.
Hand-Picked Essences for April
Spring is a time when we often feel a need to cleanse and clear on mental and emotional levels so that we can create a clutter-free inner space to focus on our dreams for the year ahead. Earth Day takes place on 22nd April each year and is both a time to demonstrate support for the environment and also to honour all that Mother Earth gives to us. It’s the perfect time to establish a simple daily practice for feeling your love and appreciation for the Earth. Consciously choosing to focus on gratitude for the Earth every day expands your heart with more love and wonder, lifts your mood, and opens the doorway to more inspiration and creativity.
This month we’re focusing on an essence for cleansing and another for deepening your connection with the Earth.
-------------------------------------
Angel of Purification
The Angel of Purification brings a fresh, clear, purifying frequency into your life which can be called upon to cleanse and release anything that feels murky, unsettled, or dense. It comes in dropper and spray form to use internally and to spray around your home or workspace. Angel of Purification essence is aligned with the highest frequencies of light, so it reminds you of your own true nature of light. Call upon the Angel of Purification to help you cleanse and release any toxic thoughts, beliefs or emotions that are preventing you from remembering the pure light of your spirit.

Earth Connection Spray
Earth Connection spray is an excellent essence for fully activating your energetic connection with the Earth. It will very quickly help you to realign and re-balance if you’re feeling disconnected from your body and are not able to feel your feet on the ground. Many of us carry unconscious patterns that make it difficult for us to fully activate our energetic connection with the Earth. These old blocks prevent us from living life fully and experiencing the joy of being alive.Use Earth Connection spray to help you to ground and connect with the Earth so you can draw up support and nourishment, stabilise your energetic foundations, and feel fully present in your body and in the moment.

Tips for Consciously Working With Essences…
6 Tips for Fully Loving and Accepting Yourself
When uncomfortable or painful patterns come into our awareness, this usually triggers our resistance and defence patterns rather than a desire to explore them further. When this happens we are closing our hearts to ourselves, but if we can welcome these feelings into our hearts, the opportunity for self-acceptance and deep healing is enormous.
- Just being willing to acknowledge your resistance, bless the trigger and own the pattern can be so life affirming.
- Essences are very effective for opening to the door to our hearts so that deep healing can take place because they help to dissolve our resistance to meeting the uncomfortable, painful or tender parts of ourselves. The Self Acceptance Essence has been specially formulated to transform deep resistance to accepting yourself as worthy of love.
- Pay careful attention to anything that comes into your awareness while you are taking the Self Acceptance Essence. For instance, old memories from the past, maybe things that have happened that have made you feel unloved or doubtful of your abilities. Don’t hold onto them, just let them go, they want to leave now.
- Be aware of anything in your everyday world that triggers off the old feelings that relate to this pattern, for instance despair, hopelessness, or loneliness. Take care to detach from the trigger so that you can take ownership of the old emotions and allow them to dissolve. If we allow ourselves to feel that the problem/solution lies in something outside of us, we step away from our power and ability to make change.
- Be willing to open your heart to yourself and allow any painful emotions to dissolve. Bless them and simply let them go. Replace them with positive loving thoughts about yourself and what you offer to the world.
- Be very kind to yourself and notice if you have fallen into self-judgement or intolerance. Remember to love yourself for not always fully loving yourself! Remember to laugh and change the frequency so that you disrupt the pattern. The less we feed a pattern with attention the weaker it grows.

Bach Flower Remedies and the Work Of Edward Bch
We're excited to share more with you about the 38 Bach Flower Remedies and the work and understandings of Dr Edward Bach through our website: www.bach-flowers.co.uk.
We’re dedicated to shining a light on the Bach Flower Remedies and the transformational inner journey they can take you on. We have been making authentic, handmade Bach Flower Remedies according to the original instructions of Dr. Edward Bach since the late 1980s. The Bach Remedies were the starting point for our journey with Flower Essences, and they are still the foundation point of our work at Crystal Herbs Flower, Gem & Crystal Essences.
We greatly honour the work of Edward Bach, he was both a pioneer and a path finder, and for us it is very important that the Bach Flower Remedies that we make are made exactly according to his original instructions. It was his great desire that everyone could have access to both the remedies and understandings that go with them, and for us this is part of the driving force behind our work with the Bach Flower Remedies.
It feels really good to have a dedicated space to share more about Dr Bach’s philosophy and the Bach Flower Remedies themselves as well a place to share insights, understandings and different perspectives on the Bach Flower Remedies.

Always Useful Essences
These are the essences that people most often tell us they wouldn’t want to be without because they are so useful for balancing emotions, soothing the mind and uplifting the spirits.

Loving Communication Essence
Relationship experts and happy couples agree that good communication is essential for a healthy relationship. Yet speaking your truth with an open heart can be challenging in close relationships. Loving Communication essence will help to dissolve any blockages in your heart or throat chakras that are preventing honest and loving self-expression, particularly in close relationships. Not only will this greatly enhance your ability to communicate with those with whom you share your life, it will also promote a greater degree of communion with your soul.

Mimulus Bach Flower Remedy
Use Mimulus Bach Flower Remedy to release fears, worries and dread about all kinds of everyday situations. You can use it short-term for nerves about job interviews, driving test, going to the dentist or public speaking. It will be useful longer term if you regularly feel dread and fear about everyday life including worries about your health and finances, if you feel nervous in social situations, or are sensitive to crowds, loud noises or bright lights. Mimulus essence helps to release fears and worries so you can embrace life fully, knowing that the world is a safe place.

Revival Remedy
Revival Remedy is a combination of Cherry Plum, Clematis, Impatiens, Rock Rose & Star of Bethlehem and was originally formulated by Dr Bach for use in situations requiring ‘emergency rescue’. It acts as a very swift emotional stabiliser in circumstances where there is much fear, panic, trauma, or other severe upset such as a serious accident or unexpected bereavement. It is also a very effective support for those less traumatic but still challenging events in life like exams, driving tests, visits to the dentist, presentations etc.

A Journey Home to the Heart with the Bach Flower Remedies
When I was experiencing debilitating migraines and deep despair in my early 20s I didn’t know that I was on the threshold of something wonderful. All I knew was that I wanted to feel better, and I wanted to understand why life felt so painful and difficult. Looking back now, I can see that it was a wake-up call; the beginning of a transformational journey from pain to love. But I didn’t know that then, I just wanted to find the ‘answer’; some magical solution that would make the physical and emotional pain go away and stop it from coming back.
