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.
Cardinal Flower
Connecting with the center of your confidence and strength
This flower essence helps you consciously use and direct life force energy rather than be pulled about by the five senses.
Cardinal Flower essence can help you become aware of your center of energy in the pelvic region. When you move your body from this center, the strength you have comes from power, rather than force. In various practices such as yoga, tai chi, and pilates, focus is given to training you to be aware of this power center. Cardinal Flower can help you consciously connect with this center and use it as a foundation from which your movement can originate. This awareness can have a grounding effect, bringing consciousness to a firm center of rootedness. From this center you may experience confidence and strength.
Hackberry
Allowing yourself to grieve
An important part of growing and evolving is being able to grieve the self you were before you move on into a new state of being. Hackberry helps you give yourself permission to grieve, even if you see yourself as inadequate for feeling it.
Grieving takes you to a deep, inner place where feelings are felt and occupy your complete attention…It is a journey into an inner world that shows you many things about yourself.
Hackberry helps you take this journey and learn to value it.
Spineless Prickly Pear Cactus
Finding strength in vulnerability
Many people equate vulnerability with weakness. Spineless Prickly Pear Cactus, our largest cactus in the Prickly Pear sub-family of cacti, shows you that vulnerability is a strength when you understand what you are vulnerable.
Universal energy can most easily shape you when you allow yourself to be vulnerable to it. If you try too hard to make it happen the old way, you push it away.
Spineless Prickly Pear Cactus helps you realize that whatever is in front of you now is your strength and is a tool to help with any challenges or problems.
