Flower Essences for Trauma, disasters, grief, sudden loss, embodiment and remembering why we are here. Flower Essences for Collapse

Flower Essences for Support during times of crisis ~ whether from sudden loss, accidents, acute trauma, grief, rage, or just existing here during times of much turbulence and collapse. Flower Essences for sacred activism, burnout prevention, shock & trauma.

Flower Essences are a beautiful Medicine to help us attune with the rhythms of Creation, and come back to ourselves, remembering why we are here 🌸

There are many Plant kin who may be supportive during times of intensity. Flower Essences can be especially indicated during acute emergencies, collapse, disaster, accidents, loss, etc. as they often work quickly & on our subtle bodies. Weaving the physical, emotional, spiritual. They are a vibrational Medicine. They also typically don’t have interactions with Medications, and one bottle can go far for distributing/in circles/community spaces. 

A few Flower Essences that may offer support in coming back to our bodies, through shock, trauma, grief, rage. Finding self compassion and coming from our Hearts, supporting our Nervous Systems. They may help us remember our connection with the Earth, well Ancestors, and why we are here ~ of course just connecting with the Land, Waters, Sky, scents, or any Plant kin that feel like home is also Medicine.
