Make and Take: Agua de Florida

This sacred water is used by Shaman in the Andes for cleansing, healing and flowering. During this practice we explore the alchemy of plants infused in water. Take a moment to reflect on this question, How does the element water influence the plants?

The beautiful works of Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist, confirm what Shaman have known for thousands of years. Thoughts and vibrations affect the molecular structure of water. Therefore when you are blending your flower water, great emphasis is placed on your thoughts as well as the plants you select. When you have a bottle filled with positively charged water and sacred plants, you have in front of you a very powerful medicine for healing. 

This flower water is a botanical medicine for you. It can be added to your baths. It can be used if you are feeling unwell. Pour a little bit into one of your palms, rub your hands together, inhale and apply directly to your skin on a specific area of your body. For stomachaches, headaches, heartbreak. You can place it on the soles of your feet to support grounding. It can also be used in your home when you are performing a space cleansing. Shaman do this by taking a little bit of the liquid into the front of their lip and dispersing it into the air with a forceful blow, but you can also sprinkle and flick the liquid with your fingers.

All supplies and plant material will be provided to blend up your personal bottle. The first bottle you blend today will be for yourself and then you may blend others to be used for the healing of your family and clients.
