Sacred Moonflower Essence
A flower essence is a medicinal plant extract that helps adjust a particular aspect of your spiritual or emotional body and brings it back into balance. Plants each have their own vibrational expressions that are unique to them. This gentle extract utilizes fresh flowers, spring water, organic grain spirits, and the rays of the sun or moon to capture the energetic essence of a plant. It is then taken internally for its healing properties in drop dosage. The medicine can be taken directly under the tongue, added to drinking water, or to your bathwater.
Moonflower (Datura innoxia) is a beautiful plant with a long lineage of use in ceremonial magic and spiritual practices. Utilized by the indigenous peoples of the Southern United States this hallucinogenic plant was ritualistically used to commune with ancestors, spirit guides, and other spirits of the dead. For that reason Datura has often been relied upon to do shadow work where one confronts the aspects of themselves that hold them back and hinder their success. Engaging in a flower essence medicine is a safe way to imbibe in the transformative properties of Moonflower without fear of enduring hours of visions. Moonflower can be used to release toxic relationships (personal, emotional, work), open pathways to higher states of consciousness, to commune with ancestral spirit guides, and to increase the potency of shamanic journeying and meditations. Trying sprinkling a few drops of the flower essence on the back of your neck before venturing out into the world to call in the protection of your ancestral spirits. Or place a few drops on you third eye so that you can see the truth in situations.
Dosage of a flower essence is intuitive, however a nice place to start is 1-3 drops once to three times daily. Keep in mind that this is subtle, vibrational medicine. When taken over a period of time, one week or a moon cycle for example, the medicine of a flower essence is more effective. During the time you are taking your flower essence allow space for yourself to receive guidance - slow down, breathe deep, journal, and notice your dreams. Ask your own guides or intuition how much you should take. Generally speaking, an individual can use anywhere between one drop to one full dropper as frequently as needed.
