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.
Cardon Cactus
Accepting all parts of you
When you are feeling that you are deficient in some way, Cardon Cactus helps you know that all the parts of you make you who you are. An essence of self-acceptance, it helps you find inner strength, determination, and deep energy reserves to move ahead in your life.
The essence can also help you release things that have been standing in your way, even if you don’t understand what you are releasing.
Foothills Paloverde
Self-acceptance and self-encouragement
When you are caught up in self-judgement and self-criticism, this flower essence can help. It supports you in finding self-acceptance and self-encouragement.
Just as this tree has found a beautiful way to adapt to the harsh desert climate, so too can it help you adapt when you experience the harshness of your mind. Your mind is a great tool for defining yourself and your reality. Yet your mind alone, without the softness of your heart impressions and feelings, can create a desolate reality. The message of Foothills Paloverde is, ‘Whatever I’m feeling is all right.’
Initiation into Angelic Awareness Formula
From the Angelic Awareness kit
This formula supports the process of merging with angelic presence. A sacred union, it is imperative that you accept your humanness and the gifts you bring to the merger. This flower essence can help you remember to ask for support and then recognize it when it shows up.
Staghorn Cholla Cactus
For times of change and transformation
After a time of change or transformation this cactus flower essence helps you pull yourself back together, but using your essential nature as the guide for doing so. It helps you see long-store abilities that you might now have previously seen and begin to use them as your foundation.
