Borage, as a flower essence, is for heavy heartedness and lack of confidence when facing challenges. As the saying goes "Borage for Courage!" If you look at the beautiful blooms you can see how light and airy they are in comparison to the heavy nodding of the flower buds that face down towards the earth. Almost like they are grounding you for the courage needed to move forward.
The remedy is said to bring courage to the taker, providing a condition of “buoyancy of the soul”. (Katz and Kaminski 1994) Borage is said to bring “lightness and ebullience to the soul, filling it with optimism and enthusiasm.

Ingredients: Borage Flower Essence, Natural Spring Water, Brandy
Directions: 3-5 drops, Use as needed.
Tapping the bottom of the bottle on my palm (usually about 5 times), will assist in awakening the matrix in which the essence is held. Water, in its natural state, is always in motion ~ shaking the bottle in this way activates both the aliveness of the water, and wakes up the sleeping plant inside. Being intentional about your thoughts while in the presence of the essence (and water in general), is essential,
Sometimes shifts happen immediately, other times it could take a couple of weeks to notice that a shift has occurred.
Take orally directly from dropper, or mix into fresh water and sip slowly. Taking larger doses does not have a stronger effect. Other possible uses include direct application to unbroken or non-sensitive skin, misting around the body, application to acupuncture points or energy centers (chakras), mixed in creams, or added baths. Store out of direct sunlight.

What are Flower Essences?
Flower essences are the vibrational message of a flower transmitted to water by solarization, and the vibrational resonance of the flower is memorized by the water.
How do Flower Essences Work?
“Unlike pharmaceuticals or even some herbal medicines, which can suppress symptoms, flower essences work by the principle of resonance within the subtle human energy field, which impacts one’s physical and emotional health. In other words, flower essences are based on vibrational energetics, rather than biochemical, and stimulate the body’s natural capacity to bring itself back to homeostasis. All plants carry vibrational energy patterns, and it is said that flowers are the pinnacle of this energy. Doctrine of Signatures (DOS) play a major role in identifying the specific application of each flower. DOS originated within Alchemical and Hermetic traditions, where the most important thing was to understand how the macrocosm (universe) corresponds to the microcosm (individual). When viewed through the lens of DOS, the energetic qualities of flower essences present themselves through their colour, shape, habitat and growing patterns.”
