Timely Flower Essences
A selection of universally applicable flower essences for this time.
You can use them in any combination or any of them on their own.
Big Root Jatropha
Make choices that support keeping yourself safe
One of the dysfunctional patterns that often results from dysfunctional situations is an attempt to control everything around us to keep ourselves safe. Big Root Jatropha helps us expand beyond this tendency and broaden our perspective. Instead of attempting to keep ourselves from having experiences, we learn to assimilate our experiences and learn as we go.
Big Root Jatropha flower essence helps you make choices that support keeping yourself safe.
This flower essence can help you move through growth spurts in your life, whether they are physical or emotional. It helps you learn to assimilate what is happening and create meaning out of it.
Fishhook Cactus
Say what you want to say
Communication is the only way to grow a relationship in a healthy way. When you remain closed-mouthed, others cannot get to know you.
If you fear communicating because you are afraid of how others will see you, or out of a fear that they will misunderstand you or devalue you, the essence helps you take the risk and be true to yourself.
Melon Loco
Feeling safe during emotional times
During particularly emotional times in our lives, we may find ourselves dissociating from our physical bodies and living in our emotions. Just a few examples are: when we first fall in love; when something shocking happens in a relationship; if we suddenly learn that our lives will change in some fundamental way; if we are fired from a job; at the death of someone close to us.
“Melon Loco can help us feel our feelings while simultaneously allowing a more peaceful existence. When we allow feelings to find physical expression through our bodies, they can transform into healing grace
Whitethorn
When you keep repeating patterns that feel outdated
Are you noticing that you keep repeating patterns that feel outdated? Or is your creativity stifled by old patterns, even though you recognize them as limiting you? Whitethorn helps you unload preconceived ideas in order to allow better creative flow in your life.
It can bring a sense of newness and optimistic freshness as you approach a new way. It supports you in sorting out what is most important in a situation or life circumstance. It can allow your thinking to move in new, more innovative directions.
