Making a rose flower essence involves capturing the vibrational energy of the rose flower in water, typically using sunlight.
The Simple Method for Making Rose Flower Essence
Creating a rose flower essence follows a straightforward method based on the principle of using sunlight to imprint the flower's energy onto water. This process results in what is often called the "mother essence."
Step-by-Step Guide
Here's how to make a rose flower essence according to a common method:
- Select Your Roses: Choose vibrant, healthy rose flowers. Ideally, pick them in the morning after the dew has dried but before the sun is too hot. Handle them gently to preserve their energy.
- Prepare the Water: Obtain pure spring or well water. The quality of the water is crucial as it acts as the carrier for the flower's energy. Use a clear glass bowl or container.
- Float the Flowers: Gently float the flowers in the pure spring or well water in the glass container. Ensure the flowers are fully submerged or mostly submerged.
- Sun Imprinting: Place the container in direct sunlight. The sun's rays help to transfer the flower's energetic signature to the water.
- Timing is Key: Leave the flowers in the sunlight for 20 minutes to 3 hours or until more than half the flowers are wilted. Observing the flowers is important; they will tell you when the process is complete through their wilting.
- Separate the Flowers: Once the imprinting is finished, carefully remove the flowers from the water. You can use a twig or a clean utensil, being careful not to touch the water with your hands if possible.
- Bottle the Essence: Transfer the liquid to a clean bottle. A small tincture bottle is good, about 50 ml. This liquid is your mother essence.
Essential Tips
- Water Quality: Using pure spring or well water is recommended over tap water due to potential additives that could interfere with the essence's purity.
- Sunlight: Direct sunlight is typically used to potentize the water with the flower's energy, though some methods may use moon energy or shade.
- Observation: Pay attention to the flowers themselves. Their wilting state is a key indicator of when the essence is ready, as noted in the timing instruction.
- Cleanliness: Ensure all containers and tools used are clean to maintain the purity of the essence.
What You'll Need
- Fresh Rose Flowers
- Pure Spring or Well Water
- Clear Glass Bowl or Container
- Small Tincture Bottle (approx. 50 ml)
- Optional: Twig or Utensil for removing flowers
This process creates the most concentrated form of the essence, known as the mother essence. It is typically further diluted before use.
