Cancer and Flower Essences

Last year a dear Green Hope Farm friend was diagnosed with cancer. Over the years, we have been in community with many of you as you have moved through this challenging experience. We have learned much from your grit, humor and healing attitudes. We have also learned much from your insights about Flower Essences that have supported you, and this is reflected in what Flower Essences we offer to others navigating this particular journey. We also have learned from the Angels and Elementals’ guidance about what Flower Essences we should make and offer for healing from cancer and why.

As this friend and I talked about her situation, it occurred to me to ask her if she wanted to share her experiences here on the blog. I was interested in how she was using Flower Essences to support herself, and I thought you might be too. She was game for the conversation. As we talked, I wrote down her answers as best I could then checked back with her for edits as I organized my scrawling notes. I also asked the Angels for their perspective which is included too.

This blog closes with the Angels’ discussion of specific Flower Essences to consider for cancer.

Molly: How did you feel when you first received this diagnosis?

Friend: At first I felt numb. Shocked too. I did not feel ill so I was surprised. It was hard to feel like I was in my body. I felt disconnected. I couldn’t think well. I tried to grasp the information from the doctor, but it was hard to pay attention. I was glad that a friend was there to listen too.

Angels: We formulated a Flower Essence remedy in Emergency Care that helps in this kind of acutely difficult situation. To routinely have a bottle of Emergency Care in your pocket or purse can help calm your electrical system’s response to deeply stressful events. This remedy also helps bring you back down into your physical body and smooths your electrical field so it doesn’t overload. Even to hold a bottle of Emergency Care at such a moment is good. Putting drops in water to sip is also extremely helpful. If you do not have Emergency Care, use any Flower Essence you have or seek out quiet time in nature as soon as you can. This will help you ground and calm your electrical system.

Molly: How did things proceed from there?

Friend: It was almost as stressful to tell family and close friends the news as hearing it myself, so I gave myself time to get used to the situation then chose my moments. Some of these conversations went better than others. Some people had strong opinions about what treatment I should pursue. I couldn’t handle their input. I just needed hugs.

Angels: It is the work of those around a person with a challenging diagnosis to be available to the needs of the person and put aside your own response so that you don’t offer a lot of opinions in order to feel better or more in control. This work is electrical- to ease the electrical burden of your friend or family member, not add to their burden with your own electrical knots of worry, anxiety or fear expressed in this case with unsolicited opinions.

This is one reason why we always encourage everyone in a challenging situation to work with the electrical tool of Flower Essences. Any group gathered operates as one electrical system, so the more each person works on their own electrical system, the more everyone’s electrical system is positively affected.

The more people understand this electrical reality, the more responsible they can be about their electrical system and its input into the electrical circuitry of any group.

When told this kind of news, you may feel flooded with thoughts, opinions and emotions. Be kind to yourself about this. Hearing this news is a very tough moment. Then take time to restore your electrical field so that when you respond to your friend or family member, your electrical system brings higher vibrations to the shared electrical field. This may be a matter of a few deep breaths before saying anything. Expressions of love even tearful love do not complicate this kind of situation, but other kinds of feedback can.

If you are the person sharing difficult news with family and friends, the burden falls on you to electrically prepare the way. This is not fair, but it is still the way it is. It is wise to wait until you feel up for the conversation. You don’t owe anyone this information. Consider having Flower Essences to share or to spritz in the room before sharing your news. This will dramatically ease the electrical situation in the gathered group.

Flower Essences such as Grief & Loss, Emergency Care, Anxiety, Don’t Worry, Bee Happy, and Golden Armor are some possibilities for this moment, but almost any Flower Essences will help. Think of this advance work as self preservation. We are not asking you to energetically take care of the group so much as setting up the interaction so you are taken care of.

If this is not possible, clear your own electrical field after you share your news. Make every effort not to leave the encounter carrying other’s energetic burdens. This is particularly hard for women to do as they are raised to take care of every group’s electrical system even when they are the most electrically compromised in the group. In fact this cultural pressure is why they are compromised. Flower Essences will support you in the building the habit of self care first.

If you have the enough time to prepare the way, the crew at Green Hope Farm is always ready to make Bespoke Flower Essence Custom Mixes for you. If there is not time for this advanc preparation, just share whatever Flower Essences you have available. Again, if this is not possible, after any gathering give yourself Flower Essences like Flow Free and Golden Armor to clear your electrical system of everyone else’s electrical charges .

Sharing this kind of news is very complicated work because family and friends often have the same fears and easily trigger each other into diving into lower vibrations. It is the responsibility of ALL members of a group gathering for any purpose to be responsible for the energies they bring to the shared electrical circuitry. We are not asking for perfection or for fake behavior but for honesty about how you are feeling. If you focus on raising your vibration as best you can then you will support the whole group.

Molly: Angels, what might this specifically look like in this situation of sharing difficult news?

Angels: First of all, loving kindness is the most important thing to bring to self and everyone else. This is a difficult moment for everyone. To be more specific, on receiving difficult news, family members can concentrate on breathing and on letting go of the first opinions that come to mind. They can consider how the person sharing the news might be feeling before offering anything but simple, loving words. They can ask how the person would like support. They can make the effort to be loving and uplifting. If this is difficult, taking a time out to collect yourself can be a game changer. The focus needs to be on not burdening the person sharing his or her news with your own issues. Flower Essences help support all of this as their work is to clear, untangle and release any energies that are not love.

Molly: Back to you dear friend, you’ve started into treatment. What do you want to share about this? How has it been?

Friend: A lot of everything. Sometimes I am thankful and I feel calm and sometimes everything is difficult. It’s day to day. I try to remember that cancer isn’t a death sentence. It’s an illness. I try to accept my limits and changing circumstances. Sometimes this is easier than other times. Humor helps. Going to the hospital is energetically tough so I take a Flower Essence mix with me.

Angels: People do a lot of energetic releasing in hospitals, but it is the rare hospital administration that knows this and has someone energetically clean their buildings. We see that in the future but not now. So it is good you take Flower Essences to protect your field from picking up other people’s energetic discharge.

Molly: You have a group of Flower Essences from us. Which ones have you felt called to work with?

Friend: At first it was all combinations. I couldn’t get more fine tuned than that. I took a lot of combinations. I didn’t pay attention to what I was working with. I knew whatever I reached for would help me. I know I took Recovery, Anxiety, Sanctuary, Golden Armor, Wound Healing, Be Fearless and some individual Flowers like Borage. The Sovereignty Set was very strengthening and helped me with difficult interactions. I keep the Flower Essences on my kitchen counter to keep it simple.

Angels: These mixes are a wonderful way to get support from Flower Essences. As the “upstairs” staff we’ve encouraged the “downstairs” staff at Green Hope Farm to create lots of mixes so that when you are in an overwhelming time you don’t have to be burdened by selecting Flower Essences. We are aware that even when there is not an acute crisis, this is an often overwhelming time to be on Earth, so we want support to be simple to access. Hence the mixes we have helped to create. Take for example a mix like Recovery. It is poised to help you immediately to heal from any challenge at hand.

Friend: I also had Green Hope Farm make several mixes for me. The thing I like about asking you to make mixes is that when I can’t think straight about what I need, you and the Angels can. I put a spritz top on my current mix and keep it my bedside table so that I use this before going to sleep or if I wake up in the middle of the night. The spritz bottle is comforting, and I will keep using it.

Angels: Taking Flower Essences at night like this is very helpful as your electrical systems are particularly receptive to the information of Flower Essences as you get ready to sleep.

We are glad you remembered that the entire staff at Green Hope is always ready to co-create a Bespoke Flower Essence Custom Mix for you. This is true for everyone.

High Summer in the Safe Passage garden, part of the Sovereignty set

Molly: Has the way you work with the Flower Essences changed as you move through this time?

Friend: Yes. As things have settled into a routine, I have been able to take more time to select Flower Essences. I feel more settled and able to do this. I still love the mixes, but I have also zeroed in on the Flower Essences for cancer and specifically the cancer I have. I decided to get all the ones suggested for cancer on the website and I am taking them. I am trying to drink more water and put my Flower Essences in the water.

Angels: Hydration is so important. Remember you are composed mostly of water. As Elizabeth in the Green Hope Farm office quipped, “Humans are hydroelectric energy systems.”

Molly: What has surprised you about this time?

Friend: I feel like myself. I am not just a cancer patient. Sometimes I even forget that I am ill. I have experiences of feeling whole in spite of this illness.

Angels: The truth is you already are whole and complete and one with Divinity, and there is nowhere you need to go or anything you need to become. Instead your work is to let go of any definitions that have led you to believe you are not complete and one with Divinity. The truth is the truth and you ARE one with Divinity. As you let go of these illusions and ideas of limitation, the veil thins and you experience your true Divine self more and more.

Anything that defines you as this, that or the other thing needs to go. Sometimes you see these binding definitions more clearly when your culture wants to pin you down and limit you with definitions like “cancer patient.” Ask for Divinity’s help to release these limiting ideas about who you are, because in truth, you are everything.

Molly: Thank you dear friend for sharing and thank you Angels for guiding us to freedom.

Angels: We stand ready with love and support always as you navigate challenges including cancer. We love you all more than you can imagine.

FLOWER ESSENCES FOR CANCER

Angels: The following list discusses Flower Essences that offer healing information for cancer of all kinds. Another way to get more specific in the Flower Essences you choose is to consider Flower Essences for the chakra where your cancer is. For example if you have kidney cancer, look at the second chakra Flower Essence list under topics on the Find a Flower Essence page. Green Hope Farm can make you a chakra mix for any chakra.

Aloe Ciliaris– Brings organizing information to your energy systems which in turn promotes harmonious and positively aligned cell reproduction and growth.

Burdock

Burdock– Burdock is a deep, deep healer going all the way into the heart of any situation to bring healing light and a release of heavy vibrations that block healing. It also offers precious wisdom about discernment on the cellular level.

Celandine– This is a powerful energetic organizer that will help improve cell to cell communication. Equally important, Celandine offers information that organizes disorganized energy systems like cancer.

Christmas Bush

Christmas Bush– This one offers an enormous range of healing support. Its gifts of wound healing help release and mend wounds in the mental, emotional, physical and etheric bodies which greatly amplifies healing.

Ethereal Fluidium Super Glue– This one will help repair any energy breaches that prevent life force energy from fully flowing into your body. It will help the maximum amount of healing light and life force flow into your energy system.

Flow Free– This one helps move energy. It offers vital support for all the cleansing work the body does during cancer treatment.

Abutilon- a Flower in Golden Armor

Golden Armor– This beloved gives us energetic sanctuary, something that is so necessary during healing.

Larkspur– A powerful ally for course correction. Someone recently wrote Green Hope Farm questioning whether Larkspur was up to this task. Larkspur‘s emphatic answer, “Absolutely.”

Madagascar PeriwinkleMadagascar Periwinkle brings an X factor that can have a most significant impact on the outcome. It is a tool offering healing information from way beyond earthly realms.

Painkiller Plant– A tender Flower Essence friend helping with any pain involved in the healing challenges of both the illness and the treatment.

Calliandra, a Flower in Precious Blood

Precious Blood– A dynamo that remains cloaked in a bit of mystery, this one helps resolve generational wounds carried in the blood and in every way frees the blood to do its healing and life giving work.

Recovery– An absolute mainstay for support with any health challenge.

Sago Palm– Another Flower Essence that goes deep into the source of the energetic situation to resolve and set a brand new template of health.

Sunflower in Safe Passage, one of the Flower Essence mixes in the Sovereignty Set

Sovereignty Set– Freedom to do the healing work in an optimum energetic situation of sovereignty and inner composure and strength.

Wild Physic Nut

Wild Physic Nut– Offering a kernel of great wisdom about healing, this one is up to even the heaviest vibrational tasks needed for healing and release of the old.

Final thought from the Angels: You’ll see a lot of Zinnias in the photos because Zinnias bring joy and happiness. All Flowers want to lift you up into happiness, especially Zinnias and so do we.

March=Winter

Last week we frollicked in fields devoid of snow and lingered to enjoy the first Flowers of the season- Snowdrops, Winter Aconite and Hellebore.

Then winter arrived again, and this second round seems intent on reminding us of the true definition of the season; serious cold and serious snow.

March is almost always like this. We’ll have a bit of warmth in the end of February. Such a tease. The maple sap runs, and the roads melt enough for serious muddy ruts to form. We get excited and think maybe this will be the year when March is gentle with us. Then March sweeps in with a bitterness of wind and non-stop snow.

It feels like lunacy to start seeds, but we do it anyways. It seems like lunacy to expect the Snowdrops to be there when the snow recedes, but we expect them to poke through the snow, perky and unbowed. The bees we visited with last week as they too checked out the exposed gardens? It seems like lunacy to plan on their reappearance after March’s bitter chill, but we expect them too. We fed the bees “winter patty” during the February warm spell, so we’ve helped them eek through March. We probably will come up with our own “winter patty” to get us through March. In the office it will probably be Flower Essence spritzes and chocolate, a brilliant combo.

In the meantime we enjoy hearing from you all about the warm and sunshine in your more southern worlds. Here at the farm, I try to enjoy the endless flakes of snow falling but really, I can’t wait until its raindrops and I’m out in the gardens again digging and weeding and savoring every last green and blossoming thing.

I think Sheba is looking forward to this too.

New Moon, Credit Cards and the Spirit of the Times

Today with a new moon in Pisces, we add credit card payments as an option for online orders. Green Hope Farm has been here for 35 years so this seems absurdly overdue, but there is a story about why we never had credit cards until now (Isn’t there always a story with me?).

In the late eighties, the early days of sharing our Flower Essences, it seemed simple enough to take a check or cash for Flower Essences. Sales were mostly with visitors to the farm or people at workshops or after a past life reading I had done. However when we had our official summer of many thousands of visitors in 1993, we did go to the bank to get set up for credit cards. And the bank turned us down.

We’d been turned down for a building loan several years before when building our farmhouse, so we were used to banks turning us down. Later when we finished the house, banks were happy to throw money at us, except for this credit card thing. The bank was part of a greek chorus indicating there was no way I could make money with Flowers. But wasn’t that my problem? What skin off their teeth would it be to give me credit card services even if I didn’t use them much. Yes, I was annoyed.

But I was also far enough into working with Angels and Elementals to know there was a good reason for any roadblock including this one. The Angels and Elementals consoled me and said the best way forward was to move on without credit cards.. They suggested we send out orders on a trust basis. When folks called or sent an order in the mail, we would mail their Flower Essences out with an invoice in with the order. We asked everyone to send us a check when they got their order. This worked splendidly. In fact, we still offer this method of ordering, and it still works wonderfully well

A lot of people thought it was a bad idea to do business this way, but we found that almost everyone sent payment. When they didn’t, it was usually an oversight, and the missing check was in the next day’s mail. Yes, there was the occasional person who didn’t ever pay, but we learned not to take it personally. I felt chagrin for anyone who ordered Flower Essences made with the help of Angels and Elementals and then didn’t pay. I personally wouldn’t want to rip off a gnome or fairy.

From the beginning, there were absolutely wonderful things about our honor system (and still are). It made for a different experience than credit cards would have. You often wrote us lovely notes on beautiful cards when you sent your checks. We treasured your love and friendship, because of course we got to know each other in this back and forth of mail. Additionally, we learned so much from you as your letters shared thousands of insights, anecdotes, funny stories and testimonials that helped us understand our Flower Essences better and better.

We’ve always loved the photos too. Today for example, a photo sits on my kitchen table as I type this. It shows Quinti cat (long time Green Hope Farm friend) sitting on the box of Green Hope Flower Essences that have just arrived at her home. How wonderfully thoughtful you have been to share your worlds with us. In fact, the trust system created this network of friendship that makes me almost startled when someone uses the word customer to describe one of you. I have always thought of you all as friends.

In recent years, more people have found our honor system cumbersome and slow, so when we created our online system, we offered pay pal. We knew next to nothing about pay pal when we chose it, but we learned that it is not always people’s favorite online payment system. So perhaps too slowly, I got webmaster Ben organized to add credit cards to our online platform. After all, was it fair to be snippy about credit cards because of some bank person from thirty years ago at the expense of everyone who would now find credit cards convenient? Obviously not! Yet I lingered long in the nostalgia of how well the honor system had worked for people in a different era when there was more time for handwritten letters.

I heard someone talking yesterday about how the job of being out in the world is a matter of balancing being one’s authentic self and being willing to flow with the spirit of the times. I have had my own peculiar unique challenges flowing with the spirit of the times. Some old GHF friends will remember I was leery of email and I wanted every transaction to be done with me using a fountain pen of purple or green ink. And there has been a bit of foot dragging by yours truly about credit card options.

Bless the staff goddesses for urging me to accept the spirit of the times and embrace credit cards. Can you hear them shouting with glee that finally we have credit cards and they don’t have to tell anyone ever again that we only offer pay pal?

And bless you all, both those who like our honor system and those who are glad for the arrival of credit card option. I will delight in offering a tidy and efficient credit card system that works for you, just as I have long delighted in offering a system for those who like the old fashioned banter of our honor system.

No really, I mean it (Though it does makes me laugh to think that the last blog was some sort of freudian slip in praise of the mail!).

Sometimes those staff goddesses have to work really hard to get me to throw down my fountain pen and surf with the spirit of the times! But once I do, I love it!

Why We Love the Mail

The mail is one of our favorite things about each day because even in this almost mail free era, we still get the best letters from you.

Take this one which came in yesterday from a healer in Tennessee.

“I love having Green Hope Farm and all involved (angels, flowers, workers!) as part of my offerings for my clients. There is so much magic and blessings in these sessions and you all are a part of that.

Just one example- what are the odds of flipping through the 336 page (Guide) book and landing on a flower essence to read to my client and it’s her favorite flower (I didn’t even know how to pronounce it!). You can’t make this stuff up! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”

And THANK YOU dear friend from Tennessee for taking the time to share this magic story and THANK YOU to all of you who shower us in love and stories! We deeply appreciate it! Much Love!

Power Dynamics, Flower Essences and the Throat Chakra

Lemon blossoms share the greenhouse warmth and sunlight with Old Blush China Rose

Despite record colds here at the farm, the greenhouse continues to bloom as if its spring in Bermuda and for that we are most grateful!

As I begin this blog post, I wanted to encourage you to skip the long backstory if you just would like Flower Essence suggestions for the throat chakra. As I look for recipes online, I often want to just skip to the recipe without the long introduction so please feel free to skip this intro and jump down to the Flower suggestions at the end!

BACKSTORY

When I was a young teenager I had many arguments with my maternal grandfather about the Equal Rights Amendment. This amendment was designed to guarantee legal protection for women from gender discrimination. In 1972, after passing in both houses of Congress, the amendment failed to be ratified by the necessary 38 states.

My grandfather liked to see himself as a progressive New Deal Democrat, but he maintained the ERA was an unnecessary bit of legal business, and he was adamantly against the amendment. Women, he maintained, already had equal rights and that was the story he told in the US History textbooks he wrote for high schools across America. His career wasn’t limited to penning textbooks but also included a stint as Ambassador to Chile for the United States under JFK as well as the presidency of Amherst College. Comfortable using the power perks of his jobs, he never paused to consider the backs on which his brilliant career was built.

One back belonged to my long suffering grandmother whose own creative and career aspirations were entirely swallowed by his constant need for her to play hostess at an endless parade of cocktail parties, dinner parties and other social functions that glued together the world he moved in.

My grandmother made one bid for freedom in her late twenties. She wrote and got published a detective story. I recently read a biography of Agatha Christie. She was just a bit older than my grandmother. Like my grandmother, she was shielded from any ideas of having a career or perception of herself as accomplished. In fact, even after writing eighty books, Christie described herself as a homemaker. During the 1930’s when Christie was sharpening Hercules Poirot’s ability to spot a poison, my grandmother joined her with her book, “I’m Afraid I’ll Live.” Set in Paris, a city my grndmother knew and loved, her book is so cynical, bitter and dark that I have always had a hard time connecting it to my warm and vivacious grandmother After reading the Christie autobiography I understand her book better. Women like Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and my grandmother found themselves in a a world that had shifted on its axis after World War I. In Britain a third of an entire generation of men were dead. No one could tell the women to wait in the parlor for Mr. Right to arrive because he was dead. Plunged into the working world when the men were at war, post war there was no going back. The women had seen death, sometimes as close up as the men in the trenches, and the blush was off the Rose. Yet an integrated shift in life goals doesn’t actually happen fast or seamlessly even when world politics have brought radical change. There were still a lot of mixed messages about what women were supposed to do. My grandmother’s career faltered after this first book. She had expressed some of her angst as well as her diverse ambitions in this detective story, but there were inner and outer forces that narrowed her self articulation and defined her worth only in relation to being the consummate hostess and helpmate to a golden husband.

And then in the 1970’s when my grandmother had entertained ten thousand guests for my grandfather, he still couldn’t see the power imbalance in his own marriage nor could he see that there needed to be structures to bring equal rights and equal power to women on a national scale.

And how pray tell does this connect with the throat chakra and Flower Essences? The third chakra orients around issues of our personal power in the world, but to me the fifth chakra, the throat chakra, is the heart of the matter. It’s the seat from which we speak and live our truth, the meeting place of head and heart. It’s the arena in which we work out the alignment process between what is expected of us and what we genuinely feel called to do. It’s where we figure out what we want to do and what we don’t want to do. It is a chakra that takes the hit when we are silenced by powerful forces outside ourselves and lingering conflicts within us, and it is one of the chakras that suffers when we do too much for other people because of ingrained cultural expectations.

It came as no shock to me when someone told me 85% of women in America have a thyroid imbalance ie challenges in their throat chakra. As women, we are frequently in less powerful positions and therefore in situations where we are either not listened to when we speak our truth or inhibited from speaking our truth because of the extreme consequences if we do speak up. We are also expected to do too much. Of course this is going to impact the health of organs in our throat chakra.

My grandmother expressed some of her complex feelings in her book, but it wasn’t enough, and she died at 65 right before the ERA went down in defeat. As far as I know, the power politics of her marriage were never discussed or even acknowledged by her or anyone else. I wonder if somewhere within her, she assessed the possible consequences of speaking up then decided it was too risky. I suspect she had no place even within herself to articulate her situation. All I know for sure is that to speak up and challenge the status quo might have brought her relationship losses. I know this because it brought losses for me when I took on some of the same power issues thirty years later.

For so many other women, in addition to relationship losses, financial pressures also drive the silence. Sometimes the pressures to stuff our feelings and our dreams go beyond that into life or death concerns.

My grandfather as a person of power and privilege had an obligation to share power with those less powerful i.e. women and other disenfranchised people. His complete failure to see power imbalances in his personal life or the life of the nation left a damaging legacy.

When my unstable and violent brother wanted to kill me and my children during my forties, my family of origin was still anchored in the values of my grandfather. They did not acknowledge that my children, Jim and I were in a less powerful position than my brother or that their decision to ostracize us for calling attention to our “embarrassing” crisis was a move of power politics. They did not see that they needed to help right the power imbalances and work with me and my husband, Jim, to protect us. When I failed to fall in with their world view that these death threats were unmentionable and something to be accepted or ignored even if we got killed, they pulled the relationship plug and removed me from their orbit.

The group had no perception of the situation as an unequal power balance. My own throat chakra took the hit as I felt unheard, felt full of fear and felt the sorrow of being unable to live as I wished in sanctuary with my children. In even standing separate from the view of the powerbrokers in my family, I had been cast off and this too caused grief in my throat chakra.

My grandfather’s sense of the world permeated everything that happened. And this is what so many disempowered folks face today. The views of earlier generations of power brokers still support the privileged few and leave way too many powerless and with throat chakras of stuck energy.

But we can change that, one empowered throat chakra at a time!

FLOWER ESSENCE SUGGESTIONS FOR A VIBRANT THROAT CHAKRA

And so, it has always been of great interest to me to seek Flower Essences that support us to move stuck energy in the throat energy- energies of grief, loss, fear, anger, bitterness. In a chakra that can be a sublime expression of love with and for Divinity, these are just a few of the Flower Essences that come out to get things moving, cleared, healing and flowing.

One place to find a complete list of our Flower Essence suggestions for the throat chakra is here. I highlight a few of our suggestions below.

Breathe– If you only want one to support your throat chakra, this might be the one as it combines a great many of our Flower Essences that support the health and well being of the throat chakra.

Flow Free– This is my go to for keeping energy moving. During the peak of the death threats the Angels had me using copious amounts of this remedy. I still use it most every day. It’s not that we should expect ourselves not to feel but that we need support to feel what we feel and then release the energy versus keep it stuck in our energy field. Keeping things Flowing is the profound strength of this dynamo.

A purple carpet of Thyme Flowers covers Omey Island

Thyme– This magical Flower Essence brings so much healing to any situation in which we need time and a place of sanctuary to sort things out and find our way. I almost always recommend it for anyone with thyroid concerns. Thyme from Crete and also Thyme from Omey Island ( a tidal island in Ireland covered in Thyme) are also dynamos.

Christmas Bush, a key ingredient in Wound Healing

Wound Healing- We struggle with generational wounds and need the support of this complex and deeply healing combination remedy to shift the energies and fully find a new way. As I consider this Essence, I recall how very hard I worked to find the Flowers in this mix. For example, up and down goat trails in St John I searched long and hard for the “weed” Christmas Bush. It was worth every effort.

Cosmos– Among the first if not the first Flower Essence I made, this one helps us speak from the heart, a process essential to throat chakra health and finding our true voice in the world

Authentic Self– The Angels call this a Cosmic Unlock. It is an understatement to say it supports the work of the throat chakra is to help us know and articulate our authentic self despite inner and outer pressures to do otherwise. Authentic Self helps us do this.

Baby Blue Eyes– Our issues with the throat chakra often begin in childhood when we are silenced from expressing ourselves and our truth. This brilliant Essence friends empowers child as well as inner child to know her own value inspite of these experiences.

As a community of Flowers, Angels, Nature Spirits, Dogs, Cats and even some People, Green Hope Farm can be a funny place……and I love telling you all about it!
