Rachel White, aka The Skeptical Shaman, blends real-world pragmatism, her sense of humor, and ancient tools and techniques into her practice as a trained shaman, medium, energy practitioner, self-published author, and flower essence maker. In today’s episode, we dive into the world of floral essences and Rachel shares some of the behind-the-scenes of her business. 

Like so many of us who lived in cities during the pandemic, Rachel was itching to get out into nature, but she was limited to her balcony and the rooftop of the building she lived in. She decided to get creative by planting a small herb garden and accidently discovered the world of floral essences. Rachel talks about the serendipity that comes when you explore new things from a place of joy and breaks down her intuitive approach to picking out seeds and cultivating flowers. 

Rachel and I discuss the benefits of floral essences and the metaphysical energy inside each bottle that she packages by hand. She also shares her top recommendations for people who want to expand their vitality and explains how flowers like Milkweed, Passionflower, and Evening Primrose have supported her in the aging process. Listen in to more about flower essences and how they can help you feel younger while growing older.
