In a world...

where humans look to nature for guidance about how to live and thrive on this beautiful earth, the flower guardians play a special role.

Today I am reprinting a story I wrote last year at this time. The message is as apt this year as it was last. We are all, together, trying to shake off those things we have accumulated but are no longer necessary. This Spring, we are invited to call on the help of nature to assist us. What stories are ready for revisioning with the wiser eyes of love and experience?

This Spring Equinox Essence is all about transformations that can happen when wisdom gained from past experiences meets the challenges we are facing now. Reconsider the stories that have been defining your life and you will transform the trajectory of your life going forward. During times of great difficulty, we can choose the way we look at things even when we have so little control over external events. This is a powerful (and lovely) essence that will help you to contribute to peace and healing in your world.

Bundle this essence with the Tulip essence, a catalyst for healing over time, for an extra $15.

As we worry and pray for the people of Ukraine, the Fierce Mother (who lives inside each one of us) reminds us: we are whole and capable. She knows that our gifts, and the wisdom we have gained from our wounds, are needed to heal the wounds of the world. There is tremendous power when many reject the notion that they are alone and powerless. Our prayers and attentive actions are influential to this situation.

The essences I make for people are designed to suggest the messages/truths behind our words and feelings. I have been making essences for people for just this thing for almost 30 years. But listening for the message behind the words is much harder to do on the fly while in conversation, particularly one that evokes strong emotions.

Why do conversations seem trickier now? And what can we do about it so we can preserve our sanity?!
