Ian White Founder Of Australian Bush Flower Essences

Ian White B.Sc., N.D., D.B.M. is the founder of the Australian Bush Flower Essences and a 5th generation Australian herbalist. Ian graduated from the University of NSW with a Bachelor of Science before completing degrees in Naturopathy, Herbal Medicine, and Homeopathy and has been practicing successfully as a Naturopath since 1979. His great-great-grandmother worked as a herbalist during Australia’s Gold Rush in the 1850’s. Both Ian’s great-grandmother and grandmother, also both herbalists, were among the first white people to research and use Australian native plants for healing. Ian as a young boy grew up in the bush, living next door to his grandmother and would spend as much time as possible helping her make her herbal tinctures and extracts. She would often take him for walks in the bush teaching him the healing qualities of many of the plants and flowers within the Australian landscape. Ian has continued this family tradition, though specializing in the emotional and spiritual qualities of the Australian bush and has spent many years of intensive research pioneering his range of Australian Bush Flower Essences. He is the author of five major books and regularly teaches workshops on the Bush Essences and his White Light and Light Frequency Essences in over 30 countries.

Welcome to the Australian Bush Flower Essences

Throughout history, flowers have held a special place in people’s lives through art, jewelry, stories, paintings, fabrics and patterns, poems and inspirational writings and music. Over the centuries a rich symbolism has grown around plants and their flowers. People use them to represent love, events, feast days, birthdays, celebrations, and many kinds of offerings. Even though much has been forgotten or lost, we still use flowers and plants in remembrance of their ancient symbolism.
Apart from their visual beauty and their wonderful aromas, flowers move us profoundly on a very subtle level that we may not consciously recognize or understand. A blooming rose is a reminder to the heart to open up to love. Flowers stimulate the parts of the human energy field that corresponds to the heart and thus explains their use as love tokens.These essences capture the impact flowers have on our consciousness. They affect our subtle bodies in such a way that transformation inevitably occurs.Flower Essence Therapy is based on the insight that humans and all living things are profoundly related to nature and that archetypes that are found in the human psychological makeup have their healing counterpart in plant archetypes found in nature. Here is where synergy happens. By observing and experiencing the plant’s form, connecting with her essence, habitat, color, and fragrance, along with the study of historical and mythological lore of the plant, the particular healing property is uncovered. These interpretations are further refined by information received through case studies and other clinical data. I grew up connecting to the Spirit of plants and receiving the message that they wished to convey. There were no studies, just what the people of the Amazon forest grew up with. I would still myself and listen. I didn’t ask questions. My higher self knows and that is all I need to intimately connect with them. I give my busy intellect a rest so I can channel the information.Each flower family has a particular quality or attribute to be awakened within the human subtle energy field as it travels through its earthly journey back to those realms of sound and light from which it came. A Deva, or God(Goddess) watches over every flower family, giving voice to the particular attribute represented within each.Universal energy determines the density of its expression as matter. You get exactly what your energetic system needs. No more, no less. It has its own intelligence. Flower essences offer us a means of getting back into a constructive, co-operative, co-creative relationship with the energies of plants and trees and with Nature herself, living in harmony together. If one considers the state of Earth today, it is of vital importance that we restore such a relationship.Most people feel separated from nature and see nature as something apart from them and inferior to themselves, with no particular value. It is very evident the time has come to shift that perception in order to pass the knowledge to the next generations and preserve the Earth, making an offering of respect and gratitude for all she gives us, in the Divine Plan for Earth. The essences are catalysts to unlock your full potential, resolve negative beliefs, and bring about harmony. A lot of our energy goes into maintaining old hurts and blaming others for our problems or our unfulfilled dreams. There is also a very strong tendency in many people to worry about what might or might not happen in the future. Even anticipation of, or nostalgia for, a pleasant event will pull our energy away from the here and now. With our energy feeding the past and future, there is often not much left to maintain our wellness in the present. Not only will we not emotionally heal but we will not manifest our goals. They will not thrive because there is a lack of energy to support them.We create our reality according to our beliefs. Buddha had these words to say;

“What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow. Our life is the creation of our mind. If anyone thing can be conceived or pondered it exists. For whatever is dreamed or imagined is already in the realm of existence. That is how all of the creation came into existence.”

Let us see the difference between Flower Essences, Herbal Remedies, Homoeopathy, and Essential Oils Flower Essences are produced by imprinting a flower’s unique vibrational essence signature onto the carrier solution like pure spring water and are used to address imbalances at a higher level, bringing about emotional and spiritual balance and well-being in the whole person. Homoeopathic is prepared in a somewhat similar way to Flower Essences using animal, mineral, and herbal bases imprinted upon the solution at different strength dilution ratios and are generally recommended for specific challenges. Homoeopathic is not self-adjusting and can have side effects resulting in aggravations. Also, Homoeopathic remedies are easily dulled by contact with aromatic substances such as perfume, strong mint-flavored toothpaste, garlic, coffee, Essential Oils, computers, cell phones. The fact is that you have to wait twenty minutes before and after using them, it makes them difficult to use for most fast living people. According to Gurudas, Some of them can affect the chakras and subtle bodies, but not as effectively as Flower Essences. Gem elixirs act similarly to Flower Essences but not to the same degree, as they do not have the same potency or absorption of life force.

Herbal extracts and tinctures are derived from macerating parts of plants and trees like their roots, bark, leaves some done in alcohol or glycerin for a period of time before straining and bottling. Herbal remedies are once again generally recommended for a specific challenge and only work on the physical body, they are far cruder in nature and their chemical constituents can be physically analyzed and measured. Essential Oils are extracted from the flower, bark, sap, and leaves of plants and are aromatic scented extractions that work via the olfactory sense and the best through skin applications. Flower Essences can be effectively used in conjunction with all of these other modalities in harmony that complement each other.Flower essences are a form of vibrational medicine.as is the science of Homeopathy. When we speak of vibration, we are merely using another synonym for frequency. Different frequencies of energy reflect varying rates of vibration. One of the best ways to alter dysfunctional patterns in the subtle bodies is to administer therapeutic doses of frequency-specific for the subtle energy in the form of vibrational medicines such as flower essences and Homeopathy.

Here we are sharing how flowers are being used in a subtle but powerful healing way. The essence of flowers is transferred into liquids called flower remedies or simply flower essences. These essences capture the impact of flowers on our consciousness and affect our subtle bodies in such a way that a profound transformation occurs.

Flower essences are not something new. They have been used in India, China, Egypt, Asia, and South America for centuries. They were very popular in the Middle Ages. In the 15th century, Paracelsus wrote how he collected the dew from flowering plants and diluted it to aid with emotional imbalances. In the 12th century, Abbess Hildegard von Bingen recorded the earliest European records.

Indigenous peoples around the world including Australian aboriginals have used them to address any number of maladies, physical challenges, and overall balance.

One of the most respected names associated with their use in modern times is Dr. Edward Bach of England. The Bach Original Flower Remedies were developed by Dr. Bach, a Harley Street doctor and well-known physician, bacteriologist, homeopath, and researcher. He believed that the attitude of the mind plays a vital role in maintaining health and recovering from illness. After he left London in 1930, Dr. Bach explored the countryside in search of the remedies for several years. Dr. Bach identified 38 basic negative states of mind and created a plant or flower based remedy for each one of these conditions.

In 1934 he created a center for his work and chose Mount Vernon, a small cottage in Sotwell, Oxfordshire. He spent the last years of his life at Mount Vernon and it was here that he completed his research. Nowadays, Mount Vernon is better known as The Bach Centre, and the present custodians continue to prepare the mother tinctures (the first process in making the remedies), often using the same locations that Dr. Bach identified in the 1930s. Like Dr. Bach, all the great visionaries and healers such as Hippocrates, Paracelsus, Aristotle, and Hahnemann agreed on this point: all-around wellness is the result of emotional, spiritual, and mental harmony. Here we share how flowers are used in a subtle but powerful healing way for ages. The essence of the flowers is transferred into liquids called flower remedies or simply flower essences. These flower essences capture the impact of flowers have on our consciousness and affect our subtle bodies in such a way that a profound transformation occurs.Flower essences are a form of vibrational medicine. When we speak of vibration, we are merely using another synonym for frequency. Different frequencies of energy reflect varying rates of vibration. Matter and energy are two different manifestations of the same energetic substances of which everything in the whole universe is made of, including our physical and subtle bodies. The subtle body refers to the subtle energy body which exists in the higher frequency range beyond our physical body. The vibratory rate of the subtle body is simply faster. When we wish to alter our subtle bodies, we must administer energy that vibrates at the frequencies beyond the physical plane. Vibrational medicines such as flower essences contain such high-frequency subtle energies. It is believed that physical imbalances manifest in the physical body only after disturbances of energy flow have already become imprinted in the subtle bodies. One of the best ways to alter dysfunctional patterns in the subtle bodies is to administer doses of frequency-specific combinations for the subtle energy in the form of vibrational supplements such as flower essences.

The purpose of the Bush Flower Essences, as I see it, is that they assist in clearing blocks that stop an individual from getting in touch with their true Higher Self and their total well-being. They assist with their own intuitive part which knows their life purpose. The Flower essences not only help give clarity to one’s life purpose but also the courage, strength, and enthusiasm to pursue one’s goals and dreams. They help us develop and maintain a higher level of intuition, self-esteem, spirituality, creativity, fun, and general inner and outer well-being. As we experience greater clarity and quality of life, everyone benefits; the individual, society, and the planet as we are all interrelated. The Bush Flower Essences are a system of healing that anyone can use. Although Flower Remedies have been used by many cultures for thousands of years, the Australian Bush Flower Essences meet the great need for supplements that help people address the issues of the 21st century – sexuality, communication skills, stress reduction and spirituality, to name a few. Ian White has spent his entire life researching and developing a wide range of 69 specific essences, answering this need.

Australia has the world’s oldest and highest number of flowering plants. The country is relatively unpolluted and metaphysically has wise, ancient energy. At this time, there is tremendous new vitality in the country. This, combined with the inherent power of the land, is why the Australian Bush Flower Essences are so unique. Practitioners worldwide are now incorporating the Australian Essences to form an integral part of their work.
The more consistent the Essences are used, the more one is likely to experience greater awareness and happiness in life. Everyone benefits – the individual, their immediate relations, and the whole planet.
The effect of these Essences is similar to meditation in that they enable the person to access the wisdom of their true self. In this place, we release negative beliefs held in the subconscious mind and allow the positive virtues of the Higher Self – love, joy, faith, courage, intuition, and self-alignment to flow to their true being. As this happens, old negative beliefs and mass programming are dissolved, balance is restored and true overall well-being occurs.

That is why I encourage you to practice with the Australian Flower Essences. Wake up your intuition and get to know them. You will enter a world of your own and access journeys with the flowers in their realm. It is absolutely magical!
