Blended Essences

Blended Essences are combinations of Christchurch Flowers that have been chosen to enhance specific qualities of physical, emotional and spiritual development.

The names of the Blended Flowers reflect the qualities that they are used for. They are labelled Awareness, Balance, Energy, Growth, Guidance, Harmony, Inspiration, Life Path, Openness, Relief, Transformation and Truth.

Each of the Blended Flowers contains five Christchurch Flower Essences, and these have been grouped into synergistic combinations, covering various aspects of each quality. They also relate to the stages through which a person can pass while working to attain that quality.

Essences are Interrelated

Although each Blended Essence is for a specific quality, they are all interrelated to some extent. For instance, Life Path Flowers is to help with discovering and following your true Life Path. The flowers in this Essence are to help with viewing life from a higher perspective, developing higher thoughts, approaching change, and living with a sense of purpose.
