Could the healing power of flower consciousness be the key to unlocking your true potential?

Josh Trent welcomes Katie Hess, Flower Alchemist and Founder of Lotuswei, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 761, to explore how flower essences can help us heal emotional wounds, transcend our generational patterns, and tap into our divine power, the difference between flower essences and aromatherapy, and how flower consciousness works from a deep, cellular level to shift your frequency.

Flower essences are liquid infusions of wildflowers that contain the bioenergetic imprint of the flowers' life force and they instantly impact your state of mind and enhance your energy.

Different from aromatherapy, flower essences don’t have a scent; whereas essential oils are distilled or extracted from the plant into a highly aromatic oil.

Taken consistently over time, flower essences accelerate our personal growth.

LOTUSWEI integrates ancient wisdom with modern practices, using flowers' vibrational qualities to bring about personal transformation.

The essence blends are designed to support different aspects of emotional balance, mental clarity, and personal growth.
