The Green Blessings of Flower Essences
May the plants help you remember how beautiful and loved you are. Use flower essences to connect with the etheric body and to the universe that rests within.
Flower essences connect us with the unseen vibrations of the universe. Guiding us gently and subtly on our path. A sweet breeze that moves through our etheric bodies…Flower essences help us when we are stuck, and seemingly caught in a net that we cannot release ourselves from. Flower essences help us break old patterns and begin again, allowing us to spiral instead of spin.
Are you an Enchantress?
I am and maybe you are too.
An enchantress is a woman moving out of her reproductive years. She is looking for a renewed sense of everyday vitality, wants to build strength and dig into the passion she feels for her journey. Contrary to the messages we receive from society, an enchantress knows this middle part of her life will be fulfilling, passionate and interesting.
Often at this stage in our lives we need to re-evaluate our self-care strategies, review how we nourish ourselves, prioritize rest, and evaluate the role stress plays in our lives.
Whatever your health goals are, I can support them with the important foundations of health: nutrition and rest. As an herbalist I’ll bring in the plants to help you on your journey.
Everyday Plant Magic? What’s That?
You might be wondering what I mean by “Everyday Plant Magic”. Does that mean I think you should take herbs everyday? Well no…but yes!
Do I think you should take strong herbs that “cure” you or make you super charged, or allow you to do more than you should, no. Do I have herbs I want to sell you that I want you to take everyday forever? No. Do I think using herbs strategically to assist you in feeling better, more vibrant and inspired is good? YES.
Here are a few ways you can add some plant magic into your life. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to your morning chai or on top of blueberries or? Cook regularly with garlic & ginger.
Stop to smell the roses or the plumeria or the? - this is for sure PLANT MAGIC with all caps! Or stop and enjoy a tree and feel the magic rain down on you. Big YES.
Everyday Plant Magic is simply your way of interacting and finding joy in the simple everyday pleasures of the plants and the green kingdom. It might be a flower on your walk, or a cup of peppermint tea or noticing the way a plant changes with the seasons. Or it might be working strategically with an herbalist to add herbs into your life.
Everyday plant magic is available to all of us simply because we are here, now on this blue green planet.
So, go get some.
