While working with some methods may come more naturally for you, you can learn how to select First Light® flower essences in a variety of different ways that will allow you to expand and hone your ability to select the most appropriate holistic support for yourself, friends, family and clients with precision and confidence.

THREE WAYS TO SELECT

Founder and Creator of First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand®, Franchelle Ofsoské-Wyber sayd that there are primarily three ways to select flower essences for youerself or somebody you care about.

First Light® flower essences can be selected using logical and rational decision making, using your intuition and feeling or tapping into a deep sense of knowing.

OPTION 1: Left brain – logic and reason

The ‘left brain’ method for selecting First Light® flower essences uses systems, data and checklists to make an informed, logical and rationally based decision around what flower essences to use.

Using the interpretations of the First Light® flower essences No’s 1 – 84 in The Sacred Plant Medicine of Aotearoa Volume One or using our free First Light® Online Repertory or simply viewing the full range of First Light® flower essences on our website, you can select flower essences by:

• Their keywords or description in the book or on the website
• Category or essence family
• Identifying the issues or areas of concern through discussion, counselling or self-reflection

OPTION 2: Right brain – intuition and feeling

This method uses intuitive processes. Using your natural intuitive abilities to select individual or combinations of First Light® flower essences, and honouring the process of tapping into intuition and feeling.

You can select essences by:

• Intuition and feeling
• Working with First Light® Flower Cards©
• Muscle testing/kinesiology
• Dowsing/using a pendulum

OPTION 3: Whole brain – direct knowing and inspiration

This method is an inspired way to select First Light® flower essences.

Working in this way, you experience pure knowing or instant inspiration or understanding of what First Light® flower essences are needed. This method bypasses the logical mind, rational explanations or understanding, and is more than an intuitive feeling.

There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way

There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way when it comes to selecting First Light® flower essences as each situation is unique.

Some situations may call for you to have an intellectual knowledge of the holistic healing attributes of the specific First Light® flower essences and knowledge of your own or the other person’s situation.

Other times you may find it more appropriate to use the First Light® Flower Cards or select the best First Light® flower essences for yourself or another person by intuition.

Yet another situation involves direct knowing of which First Light® flower essences are the best for the situation.

Whatever method or methods you use, staying open, flexible and receptive to the requirements of the situation is the best approach to assist you in finding the best First Light® flower essence or a combination of First Light® flower essences to work with for a holistic healing outcome for yourself or another.
