Flower Essence Group Seven Flower Essence Subdirectory site index h-o-m-e The flowers in this group provide balance and a fresh perspective on personal stability.   They also hold very strong prismatic qualities that leave us in stronger contact with the spiritworld, as well as deepening our awareness of personal authenticity and an increased range of motion and manifestation. +++ = 2005 addition +++Velvetleaf a/k/a wild abutilon - Molly Sheehan sites this flower's protection against all dissonant sound vibrations.  It is an excellent inclusion for any remedy combination that is concerned with ear infections or disturbance.  Here in Sparkling Lotus-land, we love this remedy best in combination with Allamanda.   I also like to work with this remedy any time I've felt over assaulted by the news media or other broadcast aspects of popular culture. Thyme - a strong ally for herbalists and herbal apprentices.  This remedy also holds strong bonding capacities, making it an excellent candidate for essence synergies and blends - especially when they contain one or more essences that are new to us.  Thyme helps us separate the voices of a combination essence so that we hold greater awareness of the parts as well as their whole. Strawberry - helps to dissolve guilt as well as bad confidence.  The sparkling, good humored qualities of this essence is an excellent candidate for S.A.D. therapy support and enhancement.  Try working with Strawberry when your normal routine feels like a yoke that is neither divine nor comfortable. Silene - an ally during times of great change that bring the unwanted 'guests' of panic and confusion.  "Awareness of the Whole, Insights from the One".   This essence is excellent for those who aren't really sure what illumination means to them, or how to recognize/access its gifts with greater frequency. Honeymelon Sage - the lightest and brightest crystalline tonic for the first chakra that I've encountered so far!   This essence helps us ground all our immanent energy in a prismatic field of cosmic reverb.   Many people who have trouble maintaining a strong grounding field are also hypersensitive to the energetic heaviness of many first chakra tonics.    This essence helps them re-member a less threatening and cumbersome connection to their basic survival awareness. Cupcake Rose - a miniature rose essence that promotes strong and happy attention spans, sturdy light filtering and digestion systems, and a sweeter relationship to self-belief.  Also promotes kinder awareness filters and dis-engagement from sarcastic reflexes. Million Bells - a favorite for city dwellers or anyone who works in crowded or entirely man-made conditions.   The essence has a strong angelic connection that is often best appreciated if we work with the essence first thing in the morning, or before and during all spiritual and healing fasts.   Iris - a prismatic goddess of a remedy, Iris also forms a very practical and effective bridge within essence synergies and blends.   It's one of my students' favorite third eye tonics.  Professional artists often favor this essence for its inter-action with the cosmic principles of beauty, grace, and light. +++ Linden a/k/a Basswood - This is a very sweet and powerful electrical recalibration tool.  The remedy also stimulates balance of hormonal and energetic flow.   Reach for this essence when you want to uncover the pure motion of your individualized process for achieving and maintaining homeostasis.  Add to personal grooming products and room ionizers, +++ Cayenne Pepper - a classic remedy for moving beyond the patterns of paralysis or stasis.  Good for pushing beyond the grips of creative or emotional/psychic constipation.   As with all nightshades, this remedy's capacity for intensive fumigation leaves profound potential in its wake.   Try working with this remedy if you feel stuck and can't determine the cause(s) of your resistance.  Try, also, when you lack of sense of fire in your personal core and/or your first chakra's energetic taproot. Annual Clary Sage - a good friend to those who wear many hats.  The essence helps them make strong and clear decisions.  It also promotes an awareness that's a lot like psychic horse blinders.  In this way we can shift awareness and planes of thought without actually compartmentalizing our life beyond organic flowing recognition.  Great for those who become exhausted at the beginning of each day just thinking about all the things they must accomplish and facilitate.
