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.
Desert Christmas Cholla Cactus
Are you doing things out of obligation?
This flower essence helps when you are doing things for others because it is expected of you. If you do things out of obligation or cultural conditioning, you may not be giving your best to the person or situation.
You may find yourself dreading the situation or duty, especially if you feel that their needs are more important than your own. You are not giving from your heart when it feels like a chore that must be fulfilled.
Feelings of resentment are a sign that some part of you is not fulfilled. Desert Christmas Cholla Cactus can help you clarify your feeling and see wha tis at the root of them. It can help you decide not to do something or help you find an inner adjustment so you can give from your heart.
Mesquite
Can you see your inner richness?
When you look within yourself, you may at first feel that your inner world is barren, like a wasteland. You may feel that there is no spiritual richness within you. This is a very common situation that many people experience. Especially if you have had a dysfunctional childhood that left you with complex post-traumatic stress disorder, you cannot comfortably look inside because you don’t feel safe.
You have to be by yourself to go within yourself to heal. But at the same time you need to be held by a lifeline of one or more people who care about you, such as a supportive spouse, friend, other family member, or therapist.
Only you can explore the inner wasteland that might have old pain or other memories. Mesquite helps you find it, process it and begin re-inventing yourself.
Sonoran Rainbow Cactus
Are you focusing on everything that can go wrong?
If you have an underlying sense that everything is going wrong and it causes you to feel unsettled Sonoran Rainbow Cactus can help. Yes, we have to pay attention but we need to balance our attention with joy and fun as well.
A tremendous amount of mental energy can be expended on ‘what if.’ You spend hours of time planning what you will do when things won’t work out the way you want them to. When you are occupied by this kind of thinking, you usually manifest the very things that you have been calculating to avoid. Whatever you focus on expands. When you plan for disaster, you often get it or something similar.
…Sonoran Rainbow Cactus can help you deal with deep-seated anxiety about how things will work out. It supports you in deleting your need to control everything. The essence brings you the calm surety that comes when you stop taking yourself so seriously and allow things just to be fun. Enjoying the fun of life is a great spiritual practice. No matter how much of it you allow into your life, you can always go deeper and allow even more.
