Flower Essence Therapy as a modality, emerged from the soil of the British Isles, as the founder, Dr. Bach, a medical professional in London left his practice to discover a more gentle way of healing. He found that within plants, and more specifically the flowers, that there was a unique force that could heal negative thoughts and emotions in one's mind. 

He found that by sitting with certain plants and taking a few of their dew drops or waters after laying in the sun, that they had the power to catalyze a shift in one's perspective, enabling them to heal.
 
In Tantra yoga therapy, which works in the realms of understanding the power of kundalini, what Dr. Bach discovered was a means to work with Prana Shakti for clearing blocks and awakening dormant potentials from within the person.

Prana Shakti is the awakened intelligence of this Vital Force within us. The Prana of certain plants have the ability, when a person takes them at the right time, to catalyze healing and transform one's very being. In this manner, the metamorphosis that happens (in one's psyche, nature and mother nature) is a form of Laya Yoga, or Kundalini Tantra.

Although healing with flowers is a time immemorial practice, we can trace Bach's methods from different sources. For example, seeing "personality types" within the plants largely comes from the ancient practice known as the Doctrine of Signatures. Although not used today as strongly in allopathic society due to the huge leaps we have made in modern medicine and advanced  technology, this was an ancient means homosapien used to safely understand what was food and medicine, and pattern recognition for remembering throughout the seasons, years and generations. 

As a vitalist, he honored this wisdom of Paracelsus, seeing not only these patterns, but that the light of Nature, or Lumen Naturae, as an intelligence and force of healing. Although he understood germ theory and was a medical doctor in London, he valued the relationship between one's personality and their ability to truly heal. In accordance with Vedic wisdom he saw that true suffering is often due to not living up to one's "soul purpose," which can make one sick on many levles, as well as understood through the emerging teachings of Samuel Hahneman and Homeopathy, that vibrational remedies, in small doses, can offer profound shifts in the human organism's ability to heal and transform. 

As an herbalist and influenced by the alchemists, his preparation and storage methods of Flower Essence Therapy worked with the elements and intelligent means of preparation, that has the science community today confounded. In fact, many people have yet to understand the subtle intelligence that is carried by each flower.

His philosophy, like from the ancient yogis, incorporates the Vital Force, subtle energy, alchemical wisdom and folkloric medicine.
