Dr. Edward Bach was a renowned bacteriologist, pathologist, homeopath, surgeon, and immunologist in the 1920s. He developed a global system of emotional healing (known as The Bach Flower Remedies) that is used in over 66 countries worldwide and is comprised of 38 unique flower essences, each one of them corresponding to a specific emotional state. It is considered a complete system of emotional healing and addresses every emotion the human mind is capable of experiencing. If experiencing emotional disharmony, appropriately matched flower essences will gently cast out the corresponding negative emotions, allowing the individual to return to an emotionally balanced state. Flower essences are typically taken orally and are merely water that has had a unique flower’s energetic “instructions” infused into it. This happens by way of specific live flowers being placed into a bowl of freshly collected spring water. These flowers bathe in this water in direct sunlight for a certain period of time. After, every part of the flower is removed and completely filtered out, only leaving the water behind. This process creates an energetic imprint of the energy pattern of the flower in the water. This information is held within this filtered water; as there is now substantial evidence through legitimate scientific research that water actually captures, stores, and transmits information! This filtered water is called the “mother” flower essence, and from there it is heavily diluted to create the stock bottle flower essences.

 

As a Bach Foundation Registered Practitioner myself, I have personally witnessed how life-changing this therapy can be a countless number of times. Email me if you'd like to schedule a virtual Bach flower essence consultation with me where I match you up to your exact flower essence combinations needed. I know flower essence therapy may seem far-fetched and unbelievable to some, but the proof is in the pudding. I do, however, understand the need for seeing something tangible before believing and that it is often a hold up for many.

 

Because I so personally know the power of these flower essences, and so passionately want others to become intrigued with the amazing properties and potential of water, I decided to hire Casey Attebery, Scientist and Educator at Resonant Devices, so that the energetic information of the Bach flower essences could actually be visualized by way of cymatics! Nancy Buono, BFCP and Director at Bach Flower Education, helped to fund this contract with Casey. Casey is a leading expert in the field of cymatics, which is the study of visible frequency/energy/vibration that was coined by Dr. Hans Jenny.

 

Vibrations express themselves in corresponding geometrical formations. We see cymatic formations innately in nature all the time. The markings on turtle shells, the faces of flowers, and the patterns on snakeskin are just a few of the countless examples of this phenomena in nature. Nature speaks in a beautiful language of mathematics that rules the entirety of our visible and non-visible world. Sacred geometrical patterns can be found everywhere, creating the fundamental structure and templates of life. The geometrical archetypes unveil the nature of each form and its vibrational resonance.

 

You may have already seen videos of Chladni plates with sand or salt sprinkled on top of them. When the plates are vibrated at specific frequencies, the sand forms amazing arrangements and patterns. Or maybe you have seen videos of water in dishes on bass speakers. When a certain frequency is played, the water moves in beautiful formations. These are both examples of cymatics. Casey used a variation of the latter to photograph cymatic representations of each of the Bach flower essences in a dish of water using his lighting system and photography method.

 

The specific frequencies Casey used for the production of each of the images were adapted from the original work of Dr. Peter Guy Manners, an extraordinary pioneer in the field of sound/frequency healing. Dr. Peter Manners used a form of spectroscopy to obtain accurate frequencies for each of the Bach flower essences. Using suitable octaves of the frequencies, Casey next found an optimal dish diameter to create the standing waves. The two different dish diameters he used were selected to match the frequency bands used in the experiments in order to keep the water-based fluid used consistent. The selected color arrangements for each one of the experiments matched either the spectral resonance of the frequency, or the physical colors of the source of the essence. The results that Casey got was nothing short of incredible. On the pages to come, you will find 38 beautiful cymatic representations for the specific Bach flower essences listed as they appear in dishes filled with water that was dyed black (for photography background purposes). An incredible cymatic representation of Dr. Bach's renowned Rescue Remedy is also included. The two specific diameters used (either 1 inch diameter or 2 inch diameter) and essence name are listed below each photo.

 

Casey’s work is breathtakingly beautiful. The power within these images is indescribable. To my knowledge, these groundbreaking experiments produced the first visuals ever made of the Bach flower essences' energetic instructions! It is important to note that these images are just one example of the many variations of images that could have been produced taking into consideration the constraints of the cup size and shapes used, etc. Regardless, the purpose of producing these images was to provide a visual of the energetic instructions of the Bach remedies being introduced to water, and the results surely do not disappoint. Though these images do not go on to show that the water actually retains such information, the undeniable results from Bach Therapy speak for themselves. If you would like to read about experimental findings which show that water does retain memory, please feel free to download my free PDF, “Water Holds the Key”. Regardless, the resulting images we got are a breathtakingly beautiful form of art. The intricately detailed, ethereal-looking, exquisite cymatic representations of the Bach flower essences hopefully intrigues the minds of those who need something tangible, and hopefully they spark people’s interest in water’s absolutely incredible potential. Lastly, I hope they enhance the Bach flower experience for those are already immersed in their glory.
