Sunflower Flower Essence for True Radiance

In lieu of the energetic quality of the weather patterns of this summer, I'm recommending Sunflower Flower Essence as a balancing ally. Since the weather has been swinging between brilliant sunshine and a steely, grim greyness, our inner fires are alternately stoked and squelched. This makes it difficult to radiate a balanced and confident attitude. We reflect the flickering light of this Northwest summer with an inner light that comes and goes. Such fluctuation can lead to either a lack of confidence in one's own convictions, or even a lack of confidence in life itself. Sunflower flower essence transforms these insecurities into a deep level of trust, both in ourselves, and in the world.

Sunflower flower essence is also indicated for individuals who are either too self-effacing or overly ego-inflated. Such individuals either suppress their ego or over-compensate their low self esteem with too much ego. Sunflower balances the ego, so that it functions at a level of balanced, integrated strength. It teaches individuals how to stand tall, how to shine forth, and how to soak up the light that warms and embraces us all.

Flower Essence of the Week: Red Flowering Currant for feeling supported

Red flowering currant flower essence by 3 Flowers Healing imparts an awareness of abundance and nourishing support.

This essence connects one with the earth, and is indicated for individuals who feel on their own, unsupported, and unable to trust others to support them. Often, such individuals burn themselves out, and experience adrenal fatigue. Red flowering currant flower essence specifically soothes and nourishes the kidneys and adrenals.

Red flowering currant is also a good essence for those who felt unsupported by their mothers as children. This sense of not being supported in the ways one most needed to be can continue throughout life, leading to many patterns of imbalance in the body, in the mind, in the heart, and in one's life and relationships.

Finally, this is the perfect flower essence for anyone looking for a new home, especially if one has a feeling of being uprooted, and is unable to trust they have a suitable place to go.

Flower Essence of the Week: Shasta Daisy for Centering & Wholeness

Shasta Daisy is a cheery roadside weed, familiar to most of us - tall, leggy, and topped with blossoms in the archetypal flower shape of slim, white petals radiating out in a circle from a sunny yellow center.

As a flower essence, Shasta Daisy helps with synthesizing information into a holistic awareness. It brings "big picture" thinking, especially helpful to those who feel their mind pulled in many directions. Thus, it can be a helpful tool in meditation.

Shasta Daisy flower essence is also recommended as a perfect transitional tool for recently graduated students, who after many years of exploring different directions in depth may need some help in bringing all their newly gathered information into a cohesive whole. This essence can be a centering and grounding influence at any point of transition in life, especially if one is attempting to unite seemingly disparate elements of life and experience into a new whole.
