Early yesterday morning I made a list of Flower Essences to support all of us through what can be a challenging month. I then spent the day helping to ship orders. This clarified what Flower Essences I should highlight here, because you all ordered Flower Essences that were clearly chosen to support yourselves and those you love through this month.
First of all, we sent out a great deal of Anxiety Flower Essence. Together we must contain the immense shifts the planet is making, the things that appear to be backwards steps, the mysterious forward motion that somehow pulses beneath the chaos and the unknown of the territory ahead. Anxiety is a calming, centering friend as we work to stay present and at peace during this whirlwind. I can’t recommend Anxiety too highly for you and your beloved animal companions, and many of you are gravitating to this remedy already. We have sometimes considered changing the name to something else, but haven’t settled on an alternative. Just know Anxiety Flower Essence helps RELEASE anxiety not bring it in.
Anxiety also helps us release the pressures of the culture to meet the expectations of others about holiday festivities, meals and gifts.
Yesterday saw us sending out a lot of To Thine Own Self Be True. Your wisdom always impresses me and I was impressed by this choice. All Ego Contracts Null & Void is another combination remedy that tackles the territory of freedom from the expectations of others. This is the heart of our work during this month.
Not only must we release the bindings of the culture, but the holidays bring out the stuck baggage of expectations from our families that needs to be released too. I was so glad to see so many Family River Trios go out the door. This is our trio for the work of untangling the strengths and weaknesses of our family rivers and releasing what no longer serves while seeing more clearly the strengths of our family.
It is okay to simplify your holidays. Its okay, often vital, to say NO. It may not please everyone to make your own choices about what you do or don’t do this December, but that’s okay. Their displeasure is not your problem.
The most important thing is to keep our vibrations high. Believing the hype and trying to meet the expectations of others makes this very difficult. To Thine Own Self Be True , All Ego Contracts Null & Void and The Family River Trios help us stick to our budget for how much time, energy and money we have. I also like Goldenrod for supporting us to have the spine to say, “No thank you.” And remember all the new forgiveness Flower Essences described in this blog for forgiving ourselves and everyone else during this challenging month.
SLEEP! We sent off so many Sleep Trios yesterday, and we’ve heard from so many having sleep issues right now. The planetary vibration is shifting so rapidly that it is a lot for us to assimilate. The Angels tell me that we are doing so much work that even at night, we can feel overcharged and unable to wind down. The vibrational work we are doing to accommodate the rising vibrations is set against the background of much external turmoil. I am just grateful we have the Sleep Trio of our beloved Sweet Pea, Ladies Bedstraw and Irish Ladies Bedstraw to offer you to encourage sleep.
Some other concerns that crop up this time of year with a suggested Flower Essence or two:
Loneliness: Whether we are alone or amongst people, this is a time of year when we can feel alone in our lives. The Roses such as Agnes Rose with its affirmation, “You and I are not we but one.” and Sarah Van Fleet Rose with its affirmation, “I AM the balm of Gilead.” bring comfort and help us feel the reality that we are all one in Divinity. Arbor Garden is another vastly comforting Flower Essence. It is a great solace if the holidays remind us of those we have lost.
Then there is that nostalgia and the feeling that our best holiday seasons were in the past or perhaps never happened for us. The media that has so infiltrated our lives spins the illusion that everyone else is having a Hallmark holiday season. Spiderwort, bringing its energy of discernment, helps us not get caught up in that illusion. Honeysuckle also helps us from falling into the emotional trap of believing this media spin.
Our light is needed on the planet right now. Our energy is needed in the present and not caught in memories of the past. The most important moment is now, and it doesn’t have to look like a Hallmark moment to be valuable. It is not easy work to stay present. Corn helps us keep it simple and ground ourselves in practical, wise ways. Grounding also has many Flower Essences to help us be here in the now.
We have been talking a lot in the office about how AI pushes us to be less human and align with things that are not alive and that cannot hold the transformative fire of LOVE. We have the choice to embrace the natural world and our humanity instead of loveless machines. Flower Essences sourced from the natural world and held by human hands help us turn from AI and reside in our humanness, that messy but marvelous place of LOVE.
No doubt I will return to this discussion of Nature vs loveless AI again as we feel pretty passionate about this, but in the meantime, all of us at Green Hope Farm appreciate your unique and vital humanity and all the love and wisdom you share with us. We send you our love and are so grateful for you and so grateful we have these Flower gifts from the wisdom of nature to share with you.
