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.
When you feel over-stimulated
When there is too much going on around you and you feel over-stimulated or overwhelmed, Fairy Duster can help. If you are a very sensitive person, it is easy to feel blown out. All the information that comes into your body comes through your nervous system first.
Sometimes it can be too much news, an over-abundance of information, or too much excitement. Whatever the case, Fairy Duster can help calm and soothe your nervous system so you can take in what you need and let the rest go.
It is also great for helping people of any age calm down and prepare for sleep at night.
Participating more fully in life
Hedgehog Cactus encourages us to participate more fully in life and life’s adventures, to expand our basis of experience. If we hold ourselves back, keeping ourselves too tightly in check, it helps us let go. It supports our full-bodied abandonment into sensory experience.
“Once we allow ourselves to let go into our senses, we often go overboard into excess. This is a way we have of learning where the point of balance is. Hedgehog Cactus helps bring us back to center, to a place of equipoise. It is excellent for helping us deal with overindulgence. We become more involved with our senses, but in an appropriate way.
Finding courage within
If you are indecisive about something and want to have inner support for knowing the right thing to do, Spanish Bayonet Yucca can help.
Courage comes from within yourself. Courage is simply the judgment that something else is more important than fear. Perhaps that is the real decision to be made when we are indecisive. Courage can be simply taking your own time, pausing and finding what is real for you.
“Personal will is required to choose courage. Activating your will means being a force in the world. This means that your actions have consequences. Often you fear that what you do will have unforeseen consequences and you hesitate to exert your ability to have an effect in the world.
