The Icelandic Flower Essences are very powerful. I believe their power has to do with the remarkable environment the plants find themselves in here, in the far North, how the Essences are made and the crystal clear and fresh Icelandic spring water used in their preparation.

Nature of Iceland

The Flower Essences contain the essence of Iceland´s unique, unpolluted and unspoiled nature. Iceland is an island located in the North Atlantic Ocean with a population of 300,000 people. It is often called 'The Land of Ice and Fire' due to its natural wonders such as earthquakes, glaciers, hot springs, (geothermal water) and volcanoes. It is also known for the purity of its air, soil and water. It is those pure extremes between the heat and cold of the elements that are transferred into the flower essences.

There is a lot of uninhabited land in Iceland that very few people ever travel through. The plants grow in peace, wild and undisturbed all around Iceland. Over the centuries they have been fortified by the harsh weather of Iceland, the frosts and storms, the long (eight months), dark and cool winters and the short (four months), bright and windy summers. Only the strongest and most potent plants have survived. These hardy plants are untouched, clean and full of life energy.

My Work with Nature

In creating the powerful Icelandic Flower Essences, I combine my inner force and guidance with the incredible blessings of the beautiful Icelandic Nature.

When I make a new Flower Essence, I do so with divine guidance. I am led to the plant. I collect the plants and, right there, right then, in the wilderness, I make the essence. I find the plants in far-away places, far from human habitation and traffic, where only the insects, birds and animals go, where the plants are in their purest and most powerful state. I am alone with the elements of nature and focus my attention onto her.

As I still my mind and body, the spirit of the plant starts to 'communicate' with me by showing me just how to make the flower essence and reveals its purpose to me. In my meditative state I thank the plant for her gift of a new essence.

It is extremely important to actually make the essences close to where the plants grow. Each type of plant needs its own special treatment and it is often difficult to find the right conditions to collect them in their most potently energetic state. It is also very important that I am balanced, humble and clear, bringing a deep sense of respect to 'Mother Nature' so that my energy does not interfere with, or get mixed with, the energy of the essence I am making. If that happens the plant's energy is contaminated and the effectiveness of the essence will be distorted.

Over the years I have been blessed with a deep and expanded power of listening and now Nature tells me the time is right for me to introduce the Flower Essences to all those who look to Nature to provide the answers. To be able to pass the energy from plants to humans is a wonderful gift that Nature blesses us with.

I learn more about the essences each day and new plants keep introducing themselves to me. All-in-all there are now about 100 plants that have given their power and energy to an Icelandic Flower Essence. I experience deep gratitude that I am permitted to share in all the cures and wisdom the plants bring to us.

Lynda and Stephen Kane, experts in energy healing at the School of Energy Awareness – www.energyawareness.org – have said they find the Icelandic Flower Essences to be more potent than other brands of flower remedies. This is because they cause more energy to ascend – the fundamental requirement for any form of healing to occur – through all three of the main energy channels running the length of the human energy field, rather than just the more usual left-channel energy-ascension caused by other brands of flower remedy. This results from the unique energy of the land of Iceland plus my kundalini yoga meditation, which creates the powerful resonance needed for the spirit of the plant to transfer its energy into the flower essences.

The Kristbjorg´s Icelandic Flower Essences

The Kristbjorg´s Icelandic Flower Essences exist both as combination and individual essences. There are three sets of combination essences: Awareness I, II and III. Their purpose is to raise our awareness; they work on the personality and soul, and they manifest through the two the divine essence of our being.

The unique sequence of the three Awareness Flower Essence sets provides a powerful way to open ourselves to communion with our spirit. Using the Essences in this meditative way enables us to live according to our higher will and to discover our true purpose in life. We become more aware of who we truly are and are better able to raise our vibration.

• Awareness I works on the foundation of the personality. The essences in this set help us to let go of blockages and prepare the person to open up to the soul. The connection to our soul will be unobstructed and the light of our soul will shine brightly through us. They provide us deeper awareness of our body, emotions and mind;
• Awareness II entails further work on the soul connection, getting in touch with our spirituality, strengthening the light of the soul, our higher mind and emotions. The essences in this set help to open Akashic records and we are able to raise our awareness to an even higher level;
• Awareness III is intended for those of us who are working to draw the light from our innermost divine essence into ourselves through the soul and personality. The essences in this set bring forth the dormant potential of our essence and raise our vibration, helping us to become more aware of who we truly are. With higher awareness we can become fully realized beings;

The first set, Awareness I, consists of nine powerful essences. Each bottle contains a different combination of vibrational energy. The essences in this pack are specifically for Self-Confidence, Relaxation, Creativity, Will and Purpose, Joy and Laughter, Universal Love, Divine Communication, Intuition and Understanding.

Here is a description of two of the Essences plus the Live Power combination essences:

• Self-Confidence helps boost self-confidence, be better grounded, courageous, self-assured, more ready to tackle prosperity, and in harmony with Nature. It also helps to manifest into matter the reality you dream of. Good to use when you feel lost and unsure of yourself, are confused, experience difficulty in making decisions or when others seem to have too much influence over you. Helps to release depression. Helps to balance the root chakra. Helps to give you trust in your own inner strength;
• Joy and Laughter helps to bring love and joy into your heart and release sorrow and emotional pain. It also helps bring peace and laughter into our lives and the ability to receive from others. Good to use when you experience shock or trauma, rejection or feelings of guilt, or when you feel that you are not 'enough' just as you are. Helps to balance the heart chakra as well. (I often put this remedy in the drinking water at the dinner table when we are together as a family);
• Life Power (not included in the Awareness I Set) is a first-aid essence and, as such, it is good to carry with you wherever you go. Use it to release all shocks or traumas from the body, emotions and mind. It brings the natural energy flow into harmony again after sudden shocks, accidents or nervous breakdowns so the inner healer of the body can take over and heal itself. It also eases stress, anxiety, difficult emotions and pressures, and gives strength when we really need it.

Uses for the Essences

Once a stammering teenage boy came to see me. He was very shy and insecure. I gave him the Self-Confidence and Divine Communication combination essences. After a few weeks, to his own surprise, he gained more confidence in himself, became more courageous and his throat energy centre opened up so it was easier for him to express himself freely and without the stammering.

Flower essences work well with children because they are so open-minded and, unlike adults, are without any prejudices or pre-formed beliefs. I have helped many children with ADH and other behavioural problems and also small babies suffering from, for example, ear infections, stomach cramps or having difficulties adjusting into their new body. The essences also work well for animals experiencing stress.

The Icelandic Flower Essences are particularly powerful when used for personal development and spiritual advancement. Some of my clients use them for a certain period in their lives, such as when something unexpected comes up, when they are dealing with present difficulties or when they want to work with old emotions. Others use them regularly as a support on their spiritual path, in conjunction with their meditation, yoga, etc.

Many practitioners within the holistic or natural healing field, such as acupuncturists, aromatherapists, cranio-sacral therapists, homeopaths, massage therapists, natural physicians and Reiki masters have used the essences in conjunction with their work with very good results. The Essences aid in releasing the energy blockages that are connected to the seven main energy centres (chakras) and the three main energy channels (nadis).

Massage therapists find the Relaxation combination essences to be very helpful when working on stiff muscles. They put one drop on the stiff muscle, rub it in gently and begin working on it for a while. This they find makes the muscle much more prepared for the massage and also helps to release tension.

Cranio-Sacral therapists find the Joy and Laughter combination essences to be invaluable when there are severe blockages in the chest area. They rub one drop on the chest or place three drops under the tongue.

Story of the Horse

Once I went horse riding with a few friends when one of the horses fell into a big muddy ditch. It fought to get out as we pulled, but without any success. Instead it just kept sinking deeper and deeper. We could see in the horse´s eyes that it had given up its will and was exhausted after all the struggling. Fortunately I had a bottle of the Life Power essence in my pocket. I put a few drops on my fingers and rubbed them on the horse´s tongue. Suddenly we could see an awakening of life in its eyes and it managed to crawl half way out before giving up again. After having few more drops the horse finally came all the way out of the ditch. Everybody was astonished at how powerful a few drops of essences could be for such a big animal. The essences saved the horse´s life.
