Fresh blooms can brighten up a bookshelf, a desk, or even your hair (yes, Snapchat still has flower crown filters), but flower essences extracted from the plants themselves have powerful mood-boosting powers, in addition to their healing and beauty benefits.
“Flower essence therapy is all about vibration,” says Sandra Citron, founder of Strong Eye Astrology, “and is based on the idea that human thoughts, emotions and experiences are part of the same universal laws that give rise to all things, including the planets above and the flowers below.”
“Look at your sun sign and discover the flower essence that will help you develop your natural talents.”
To determine which special essences are cosmically aligned with your soul, Citron says to turn to your horoscope: “Look at your sun sign to find the flower essences that will help you expand your natural talents and find balance,” she says. Then, release your own flower power by mixing a few drops into your tea, spraying it in your room, or rubbing it on your wrist.
