Delta Gardens Flower Essences

05/28/2026

We’re always on the lookout for new essences to support our clients. If we don’t already have an essence that aligns with a particular issue, we’ll go looking for one.

This week, we made White Wisteria (Wisteria sinensis) that we’re considering as an energetic resource for the gallbladder. Since it’s new to us, we’ll be studying its effects through the summer.

If you’d like to learn more about the process we use to uncover a new essence’s properties, check out the About section on our website - or better yet, get a copy of David’s book, Advanced Flower Essence Healing, which covers 9 chapters worth of material on flower essence research.

We’re kicking off essence-making season with a new batch of Bluebell. The shape of any flower can tell us quite a lot about what it does as an essence. Here’s an excerpt from David’s new book ~ Advanced Flower Essence Healing ~ about bell-shaped flowers like Bluebell.

✽

Bells for the Subconscious

Flowers in this category are concave and point downward. The depth of the bell indicates how deeply the essence will work in the psyche. Essences from these flowers tend to work with the subconscious mind. They will often demonstrate in stages, eliciting a calm first and then later, a shift in the psyche as information comes to the surface. This shift may come in the form of a vivid dream, a change in mood or attitude, a memory or an external incident that stimulates the same feelings as an old trauma. Bell-shaped flowers are ideal for those involved in any type of serious self-improvement including psychotherapy, couples counseling, somatic work, deep tissue therapy and trauma work.

✽

The Bluebell flower essence helps us uncover subconscious blocks to happiness. If you find you're chronically grumpy and want to withdraw from people or life, use this essence to lift that negative mindset and dissipate cynicism. It’s especially supportive if you grew up in an environment of negativity or are regularly exposed to others’ negative thinking.
