“Flowers represent a branch of plant medicine that is specifically concerned with our consciousness and evolution. To connect with their essence catalyzes the blossoming of our own healing and spiritual journeys.”
Heidi Smith, psychosomatic therapist, flower essence practitioner, and registered herbalist
In The Bloom Book, author Heidi Smith offers a holistic and comprehensive guide for working with flower essences to bring about healing, awakening, and deep transformation—personally and collectively. From lavender’s ability to soothe frazzled nerves to rose’s charms in healing the heart, flowers don’t just delight the senses—they have a secret history as doorways to transformation. With The Bloom Book, Heidi Smith offers a holistic and comprehensive guide for working with flower essences—the vibrational signatures of our botanical allies—to bring about healing, awakening, and deep change. Read an excerpt from The Bloom Book:
"Vibrational medicine uses specialized forms of energy to positively affect those energetic systems that may be out of balance due to disease states. Flower essences work with higher levels of consciousness, the subtle bodies, the chakras, as well as the physical and biomolecular form.
Flowers represent a branch of plant medicine that is specifically concerned with our consciousness and evolution. Chronologically, flowers developed after the mineral kingdom and came into form later on in the plant kingdom—as such, their energetic signature, or healing ability, is finer. Flowers hold a special affinity for the finer subtle physiology of the self: the subtle bodies, chakras, and our conscious development.
Every flower holds a unique consciousness, and to connect with it is to connect with the unique healing available within that frequency. Flower essences deal with our attachments to certain disease states and life situations, allowing us to gain awareness about how and why certain things occur within and around us. They offer a different perspective on our healing journeys so that we can step back and make healthier, more integrated decisions. Since they are actually more of a process than a medicine, flower essences pair well with any complementary, mindful, or spiritual practice you may have, and are best understood through your subjective experience.
All plant medicine links us with the natural world. This happens in a dramatic way via the heart, which connects directly with nature and the cosmos. Flower essences play a special role in expanding heart consciousness: with their help, we can more powerfully give and receive love, exist in a state of unconditional love and forgiveness, and work in the flow of co-creation with all life. When we work with flower essences, we engage a process of self-discovery, of validating ourselves and our experiences. We link very powerful nonphysical considerations to our physical health, such as our ancestral history, our dreams, supernatural phenomena, and intuitions—things that are generally not part of a standard medical intake, but nevertheless offer highly valuable insight into who we are and how we experience the world.
Heidi seamlessly integrates the healing power of flower essences with vibrational medicine, and the rise of the divine feminine. The result is a cosmic doctrine of healing that empowers readers to align with their highest selves and help to bring about planetary transformation." Highlights include:
