Spreading Phlox – a Plant Archetype that supports Connection with Soul Family and Community

Are you connected on a Heart and Soul level with Soul Family in ways that you feel truly support your Soul Purpose? Or do you still yearn for that? Have you gravitated towards and drawn into your life people who are in the same frequency as you are, with whom you can have deeply inspiring […]

Self criticism and how we often find ourselves feeding repetitive thoughts that hurt us

Self criticism and how we often find ourselves feeding repetitive thoughts that hurt us

Let’s admit: we all have this, even the ones who act as if they trust they are the best people in the world. These negative thoughts are denser lines of thought / feeling, that divide us internally, making us feel separate from the Source of Love. And the reality is, they cut us off from the awareness of the web of Love that is always holding and weaving us together in Oneness.
It is not you, or me, but it is how our brains have evolved: when not fully focused on specific activities, our minds tend to wander into “what may be wrong”, either now, in the future or in the past (read more)….

Alchemical Love – embracing my inner child and the Mariposa Lily Archetype

Alchemical Love – embracing my inner child and the Mariposa Lily Archetype

It was a profound, alchemical, transformative encounter, the beginning of a sequence of experiences that resulted in the deepest and enduring inner healing I have experienced in my life.
All my life I had hoped that this “hole”, that caused so much anxiety, this craving to receive love, would be fulfilled by someone else. But the stories continued to come, in a regular succession one after another, with something in common: my expectations were always frustrated, because what I drew was abandonment and / or mismatch. And I would feel that terrible pain again and again (read more)….

Plant Archetypes: insight and references on living virtues, blueprints for sanity and wholeness

Plant Archetypes: insight and references on living virtues, blueprints for sanity and wholeness

The understanding of the Archetype of each plant happens as we connect with its unique expression. The plant is observed in its dynamic change along its cycles from seed, to bud, to whole plant, to flower (when in that category), to fruit and back to seed. How it relates to the ecosystem it is part, its native origins in the wild.

We observe it on many levels, including its presence in myth and lore and its traditional uses by humans as food, medicine and ritual. When growing healthy, we look at how it relates to the soil and the cosmos and expresses planetary forces, and how it interacts with other plants, its pollinators and other living beings.

The full range of its gesture conveys an Archetypal expression.

Perfectionism, expectations, frustration and
the Beauty of Acceptance

Perfectionism, expectations, frustration and <br />the Beauty of Acceptance

We compare what life brings us with our virtual idealization of our expectations; in our minds, we stubbornly reject the pure beauty of the unfoldment of Life, by insistently wanting to have control over how things should be and look. We want things and people to be exactly like our own virtual model of them, and we insist in forcing them into the cast of our expectations. Frustration and unhappiness prevails, until we finally surrender. This happens when we learn to fully appreciate the exquisite beauty of the imperfect…(read more)….

Heartfelt empathy – Luminous healing waves of Compassion

Heartfelt empathy – Luminous healing waves of Compassion

I held hands with my husband while we watched, our hearts wrenched by the massive collective pain and sorrow. And we saw leaders in the community and country taking the Higher road, focusing on their Love and appreciation for each individual who had died, how these people should be honored and REMEMBERED. Heartwaves of Higher Frequency of Compassion and Love, gently weave people together in times of commotion and sorrow

...”If my soul could get away .... granted all the attributes generally bestowed on spirits, ... I should hover over the beauty of our own good star. I should study Nature's laws in all their crossings and unions... But my first journeys would be into the inner substance of flowers”.

Part of a Collective Mission

For a higher order of integration of all beings for an evolutionary dance of co-creation, weaving the Intelligence of Light and Life

Flower Essences support change, conveying Evolutionary Information

Flower Essences are preparations that capture information of the Life Force of plants at the peak of their flowering.
Through Flower Essence Therapy, we receive specific patterns of Nature's Intelligence information, captured in water. This evolutionary information impacts our multidimensional field, supporting us in changing attitudes, making emotional shifts and gaining renewed mental perspective.
