We are gradually adding further writings about the essences to our website. Merri Walters wrote these descriptions for the essences, and she took the accompanying photos when the essences were made.
These have been added to our website so far. Click on the name to see the full writing for that essence (in PDF format).
Here is a link to our 2010 Catalog (in PDF format).
Please see the catalog to learn more about flower essences, our products, and the Great Lakes Sacred Essences project.
Cell phones, computers and high-tension wires contribute to the increasingly prevalent layers of invasive electro-magnetic fields (EMF) in our environment. The technology-produced EMF can disrupt our nervous system and the natural flow of energy within our bodies, and we can find ourselves greatly challenged to adjust and remain balanced. In this modern age filled with electronics, our EMF BalanceTM blend of intuitively selected flower essences helps ground one’s body, offering protection, clarity and peace.
Available as a tincture or as an environmental spray.

Replying “Yes!” to a talking waterfall probably was not on her checklist as she packed for the hike. Forging into the rushing water to make an essence certainly wasn’t.
But that’s what Merri Walters found herself doing one August morning. And this moment marked the beginning of the Great Lakes Sacred Essences project. Today Great Lakes Sacred Essences is an established business that makes, bottles and distributes flower essences. It also teaches classes and gives talks about their use, and serves as an advocate for flower essence makers. That day by the waterfall, however, things were not so settled.
Merri Walters had long been familiar with flower essences. She had practiced as a holistic healer in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for 30 years (more…)
Some of you have wanted to be able to print or e-mail the handouts for the combination essences. These sheets are distributed at our classes.
Below are links for the handouts (in PDF format). They list the flower essences and essential oils and their supportive characteristics (the same information that’s in our square pamphlets).
Apply some of the flower essence to the palm of your hand – either dab on some tincture or gently mist on a little combination-essence spray. Now, your hand will know where to go. Your hand may instinctively know that a particular spot on your body needs some of the essence and reach to apply it there.
This is a way to bypass the brain, to be more intuitive. The mind doesn’t always know where a flower essence is needed.
Try it. You can’t make a “mistake.”
This time of year we field questions about the cloudy nature of some of the spray bottles. That “stuff” floating at the top of the liquid comes from essential oils that have congealed in the cold. This only happens with a few of the essential oils we use, and it’s most noticeable in two of the environmental sprays, Open Heart and Miracles, because their mixture of essential oils includes resins.
We’ve stayed away from additives that could better homogenize the oils and water because they would interfere with the sprays’ scent and effectiveness. Warming the bottle, even by rolling it in your hands, and shaking it will help homogenize the essential oils again.
