At the moment it looks like spring is teasing us in the UK. After a few warm, sunny days we are back to cold, wind and rain, even snow in some places. The calendar shows us it's definitely spring though so we are still in the season governed by the wood element.

The Bailey Wood Deficient Essence is a combination of the following:
🌷Lilac helps people who have had their mental and sometimes physical growth restricted to make their own decisions and be their own person.
🌷Lily of the Valley is concerned with yearning, spending time and energy in trying to attain the impossible. It helps in letting go of the past and assists in making plans.
🌷Oak gives us the strength, quiet power and resolution to press on with what lies ahead of us. It motivates us to carry through our decisions.
🌷Soapwort helps to bring the quiet insight needed to see which direction we should be heading in. It helps with focus and vision.
🌷Spring Squill gives a boost in energy to energise change and to help us feel comfortable in our new circumstances.
🌷Welsh Poppy is the flower for those who seem to have lost their way, whose drive and inspiration is lost. It helps to restart our travels on our chosen path.

Wood Deficient Essence is available with a special discount of 10% until 31 March. Please use the discount code Wood26 at checkout. This discount code is also available for the Wood Excess Essence.

We can at last see signs of spring all around us - crocuses, daffodils, trees starting to blossom... Within the Chinese Five Elements system, spring is associated with the Wood Element which represents new beginnings.

Today we are looking at an excess of the Wood Element which the Bailey Wood Excess Essence can help to counter. This composite Essence contains the following individual essences:

🪻Leopardsbane
This essence is useful for major change points in life and for when we feel stuck and frustrated, and perhaps as though we are living on a knife-edge.

🪻Nasturtium
Nasturtium is helpful for when we need to make changes but seem unable to make the first move. It helps to move the feelings of stagnation.

🪻Red Poppy
Red Poppy helps us to leave past limitations behind and provides a positive movement of energy to enable much needed changes to take place.

🪻Scarlet Pimpernel
Scarlet Pimpernel can be used to help when we have hidden energy patterns, maybe originating from someone who is restricting our freedom. These energies can subvert our own energies and so prevent us from moving on.

❤️To celebrate the beginning of spring, we are offering a 10% discount on this essence. ❤️Please use the code Wood26 at checkout. This is valid until 31 March. ❤️The same discount code is also valid for the Bailey Wood Deficient Essence. ❤️For more details, please visit our website at https://www.yorkshirefloweressences.com/collections/five-elements/products/wood-excess

We are very proud to share a link to the podcast interview that Jenny Howarth, founder and director of Yorkshire Flower Essences, recently did with Sara Estelle Turner. In this Jenny outlines her journey along the River Wharfe, gathering the energies of the river at various significant points along its length. These were then made into the Verbeia River Essences which enable others to share in the bounty of these ancient energies.

Here is the link to the podcast - do have a listen to this fascinating subject: https://open.spotify.com/episode/13yKTrtKtfM7rfecktdo7T?si=3YyMpatHSg-_L4gr9uNFxQ&fbclid=IwY2xjawQK3eNleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETBmdFNDdnE4d2FPNWF3V1d0c3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHn4iRIcwJzS6Ny-VMYjbpZmSyK0mU9zvF2MHvz-i77kd4sVODeAZl101Z9cb_aem_Zbk0ZSR2goo8nZX80NBhcA&nd=1&dlsi=6e3c32509b36468f

We are very happy to offer a 10% discount on the complete set of River Essences or on any of the individual ones. Please use the discount code River at checkout. This will be valid until 3 March. https://www.yorkshirefloweressences.com/collections/verbeia-essences/products/verbeia-river-set or use this link to see the individual ones: https://www.yorkshirefloweressences.com/collections/verbeia-essences

Here is a brief introduction from Jenny:

"I felt honoured to be asked to record the podcast as part of Sara Estelle’s 'Rise, Healer, Rise' podcast series, available on Spotify. The River Wharfe has been a part of my life in Ilkley for almost 50 years, and it felt a natural calling to me to follow the path of the Wharfe, making essences at key points and offer her energies to all through a series of essences, the Verbeia River Essences.
Life faces crises, and yet we can be supported through these demanding times by the River series of essences. They support from birth of life or of projects, through uncertainties, then through easier times and eventually to breathing peacefully, looking all around us at the global waterway of life.
The essences may be used individually or as the series as we move through what may be demanding flows and undercurrents until we arrive at that clear space, breathing deeply. Then there may be more projects. New life may be starting.
The podcast also invites others to take up the challenge of co-creating a similar series of essences along the courses of other rivers. Then these various essences could magically be brought together. If this intrigues or calls, then please do contact me. We can work together and co-create the essences of nature’s world-wide waterways".

Today we take a last look at the Fire Element in this Chinese New Year week. This time it's the Bailey Fire Deficient composite Essence which comprises the following essences:

🌼Buttercup
Sometimes we can develop jaundiced views towards others. Buttercup opens our energies to the world around us and helps to bring light and joy into our lives.

🌼Heath Bedstraw
This tiny flower enables us to find peace and tranquillity by protecting our energies so that they can develop safely, without interference from the outside world.

🌼Oxalis
For situations that “have you by the throat”, Oxalis loosens the grip of entangled emotions which depletes Fire energy.

🌼Sacred Lotus
This beautiful flower helps us to open up our hearts to the outside world whilst keeping us protected from negative influences. In openly expressing our innermost being, our heart can then truly sing.

❤️To celebrate the Lunar New Year, we are offering a 10% discount on this essence. ❤️Please use the code CNY26 at checkout. This is valid until 24 February. ❤️The same discount code is also valid for the Energy Liberator and Fire Excess essences, as well the complete set of 12 Five Elements Essences. ❤️For more details, please visit our website at

"Xīnnián kuàilè" (新年快乐) or Happy New Year! It is the start of the new lunar year and the year of the horse according to the 12 animal signs of the Chinese zodiac. This year is particularly auspicious as it's the year of the fire horse which occurs once every 60 years. The year promises more activity so take those plans off the back burner and get moving!

We must thank Jane Delaford Taylor for the beautiful painting of the fire horse. Do take a look at her website: https://www.janedelafordtaylor.com/category/digital-prints

As part of our look at the Five Elements Bailey Essences, let's have a look at the Fire Excess Essence today. It comprises the following essences:

🐴Bluebell
When you feel as if are falling apart from within, Bluebell settles the overactive Fire energy which has become destructive from the inside.

🐴Firethorn
This is used for unstable energies that occur when somebody has had to bottle up their anger or resentment. It calms the explosive nature of excess Fire.

🐴Magnolia
Magnolia helps us to actively engage in the world, expressing our energies with love and compassion even though at times it may seem to be hurtful to others.

🐴Sea Campion
This essence is for those who were separated in early childhood from the loving support of their mother or father, causing a deep insecurity. Sea Campion moves the stagnation of that deep insecurity which can sometimes make people behave inappropriately.

🐴To celebrate the Lunar New Year, we are offering a 10% discount on this essence. 🐴Please use the code CNY26 at checkout. This is valid until 24 February. 🐴The same discount code is also valid for the Energy Liberator and Fire Deficient essences, as well the complete set of 12 Five Elements Essences. 🐴For more details, please visit our website at

As part of our review of the Bailey Five Elements Essences in the run up to Chinese New Year, today we are looking at the composite Energy Liberator Essence which is included in the set of 12 Five Elements Essences.

Energy Liberator is a good starting point for energy work as it helps to kick-start the energy movement around the control and creation cycle. It is for those times when the energy just feels to have come to a complete halt. It includes the following flower essences:

🌸Early Purple Orchid
Early Purple Orchid opens up our energies. When something unusual happens to us, the body’s natural defence is to close off. Early Purple Orchid unblocks energy centres in the body whilst protecting any vulnerable spaces so created.

🌸Monk's Hood
This essence is useful for moving difficulties of long standing that may have their roots in the very distant past. It helps to bring a person up to date.

🌸Wood Anemone
This is for blocked-off energies and memories from the distant past, and perhaps previous lifetimes. It helps us to regain our lost powers.

As we head towards Chinese New Year next week, we're going to take a look at the Bailey Essences which work with the five Chinese energy elements. To start with, we are offering the full set of these essences which will appeal in particular to therapists who work with the five elements.

This set of 12 composite essences is useful for conditions of excess or deficiency in the five elements, and it also includes essences for balancing yin and yang and for energy liberation. The essences have been specially formulated for easy selection by therapists who use meridians in their practice, such as acupuncturists, shiatsu practitioners and so on.

❤️To celebrate the Lunar New Year, we are offering a 10% discount on these sets. ❤️Please use the code CNY26 at checkout. This is valid until 24 February. ❤️The same discount code is also valid for the Fire Excess, Fire Deficient and Energy Liberator Essences individually. ❤️Please visit our website at https://www.yorkshirefloweressences.com/collections/essence-sets/products/five-elements-set

We are currently in the Earth energy phase with Earth governing worry and pensiveness. The Bailey composite Grounding Essence is perfect to take during this phase, and it’s a great essence to have around anyway to bring stability when feeling spaced out, for example after being in a car or plane for a long time. These are the essences which are included in this composite:

🌸Early Purple Orchid
This essence opens up our energies. When something unusual happens to us, the body's natural defence is to close off, and Early Purple Orchid Essence unblocks energy centres in the body whilst protecting any vulnerable spaces so created.

🌸Ivy
Ivy Essence is to help us remain grounded and at ease. To resist the negative effects of what has happened, we need to be solidly rooted in the present moment, tenaciously holding on to life.

🌸Mediterranean Sage
Mediterranean Sage is the remedy for earthing, encouraging the qualities of warmth, comfort and quiet wisdom.

🌸Star of Bethlehem
The emotional kickback from sudden shock can have a devastating effect on our whole system. Star of Bethlehem Essence works to cancel this immediate shock reaction, helping us to become more detached from what has actually happened.

These essences are all available individually if the composite is not needed, but here is the link for the Grounding Essence:
