For the Seeker:

I have a deeply personal connection to this desert soul, the long + thorny + outstretched arms of the Ocotillo from my childhood home provided me with a strong sense of protection. The shadows would dance in my window at night. Ocotillos are graceful, they are strong yet delicate considering the juxtaposition of their soft leaf formations and red flowering tips to their dramatic spine like fingers.

Like most desert plants, they are resilient and can withstand such intensity within their surroundings. When these beauties are in bloom, they steal the show. Nothing compares, not even the grand Saguaro.

The essence of this fiery flower is what I have created for you all so that you too can share in the strength, protection, sacral and root balancing medicine that it so graciously provides. This essence grounds us in time and space, it wakes us up to our own inner wisdom, inner connectedness, our sensuality. The bright red flowers radiance invites us to slow down and travel deeper into our experience.  Ocotillo brings us peace and mental clarity so that we may pursue our relationship with both the higher channels of our consciousness while we balance the power of the fire element within our body/mind. Together we embark on a new journey of the soul and together we rise.

Elemental healing: Fire + Air + Ether

HOW DO I USE A FLOWER ESSENCE?

The wonderful thing about flower essences is that there are so many ways that we can bring their medicine into our lives. We can use them like we would an herbal tincture, taking a few drops and up to a dropper full directly under the tongue or in your favorite hydrating drink. Perhaps it’s topically that you prefer, you can absolutely use any flower essence directly on the physical body. Some people like to gently dab a few drops on pulse points, the heart, the nape of the neck, acupuncture points or marma points, or any place where your intuition directs you. The essence can even be added to your daily moisturizing body oil or face oil. We love to use them in the bath, in our hair, or try adding a few drops to a mister bottle filled with water and using it in a room or on yourself.

Enjoy the ritual.
