Finding Light in Despair

Reading the news about the dozens of migrants killed after their boat sank in the Strait of Sicily; and the fires in Hawaii with lives lost, homes and businesses burnt to the ground, not to mention the recent fires in Europe and glacial floods in Alaska, I’m near tears at the devastation and what is happening to our world, there is so much pain and trauma.

Healing the Sacral Chakra with Valencia Orange Blossom Flower Essence

Start with embodiment and all else will follow. Yes, all else. What do I mean by ‘embodiment’? I mean fully inhabiting your physical body, in all its sensuality.

Our flower essence of the month for April is Valencia Orange Blossom Flower essence. Valencia Orange Blossom Flower essence brings you back into your body and ready to activate and receive states of pleasure.

Radiate Powerful Feminine Energy with Slender Bindweed Flower Essence

“Carly, I swear this flower just told me to send you a photo of it”, my friend (who is quite intuitive) texted along with a photo of a small pink flower she found on a bush walk.
