DESERT WILLOW

For the HERE and NOW:

This beautiful flower’s power flows through its funnel-shaped blossom and ruffled lobes, reminding us to unfurl a bit, loosen up, and to live in the moment. It is recommended to those who tend to resist the here and now and for those who feel stuck or afraid to try something new. Schedules and rituals are wonderful but can become problematic when they become so rigid that you feel you are missing out on living. This softening + opening essence allows us to see and experience our wild and free spirit in our everyday actions.

 This little flower spirit opens us up to pleasure and sensuality, creating a safe container and a sense of spaciousness for our experience so that we may move in our body with ease and new appreciation. At times we may not know when to close or open our hearts to others, this essence teaches us to find and enjoy that sacred balance.

Elemental healing: Air + Fire + Water

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.
