Living Essences of Australia
Flower Essence Therapy is an ancient healing discipline that has its oldest known living tradition with the Nyoongah Aboriginal people of the South West of Australia. Here, in what is now known as the ‘Wildflower State’, people have an oral tradition going back to the last ice age, which includes an understanding of the non-herbal use of flowers. South-East Asia also has a ancient Buddhist tradition of flower essence therapy. The Western world was re-introduced to flower essence therapy through Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930’s. Since the 1970’s new researchers continued until now there are flower essences produced on every continent.
Today, specific Flower Essence Therapy, using wildflower essences as taught in the government accredited courses of the LiFE Academy, is used in hospitals and natural health clinics, and as an application in psychology and massage therapies.
Vasudeva and Kadambii Barnao both started their exploration into the healing properties of flower essences with the culmination of many previous years experience, knowledge and practice of Yogic sciences and the understanding of the mind/body interrelationship. Before they met each other, they had both been practicing meditation for a long time, which they credit with giving them the intuitive sensitivity and inner quiet to appreciate the subtleties of life and the potentialities of the human mind.
