Flower Essences for the Earth Signs

Floral Therapy uses the precise understanding that the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of the human psyche reflect the same cosmic laws inherent in the growth patterns, forms, colors, fragrances, and vital energies of Nature, as expressed in flowering plants.

Flower essences are made specifically from the fresh flowers of the plants because it is at the moment of blooming that the plant most clearly expresses the qualities of the soul that can voice our inner emotions, attitudes, and experiences. This intuitive truth is deeply rooted in our culture: when we want to express feelings of sympathy or love, we give a bouquet of flowers as a gift.

Continuing our series with the Earth Element:

EARTH ELEMENT ESSENCE

Hound's Tongue Essence

The essence that works to balance the Earth Element is Hound's Tongue essence from the California system.

The Earth Element represents the objective realm of reality, that which we can see, touch—everything that is empirically experienced. It is an energy primarily concerned with the practical application of theory and asks the question, "What is the use of things?" The Hound's Tongue essence addresses excessive materialism, attachment, and rationality, enabling a shift in perception toward more open and flexible thinking. It brings a spiritual perspective when there is a limited view of life, working with the idea that nothing is good or bad—everything is part of my journey. It supports the balance of "weight" in the body and Soul, particularly when there is excess weight in the physical body.

• Positive Qualities: Holistic thinking; perception of physical reality united with lively thoughts, integration of imagination and intellect.

• Patterns of Imbalance: Materialistic world view, weighed down or dulled by a mundane or overly analytical viewpoint; can be accompanied by heaviness or torpor in the physical body.

  
  

In addition to Hound's Tongue, each Earth Element sign has a specific floral essence. The Earth signs are: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. Here, I present the essence for each of them:

TAURUS ESSENCE

Trillium Essence

The essence that works to balance the energy of the sign of Taurus is the Trillium essence from the California system.

Taurus is an energy that speaks of perseverance, productivity, firmness, patience, attachment, and a depth of evaluation related to immediate physical sensations. The Trillium flower essence works with the root chakra energy, addressing issues of survival, ambition, attachment to matter, and material accumulation.

• Positive Qualities: Secure sense of personal welfare and financial well-being; ability to serve and give to others.

• Patterns of Imbalance: Distortions in survival chakra, fear due to materialistic emphasis, greed for possessions and power; poverty consciousness that leads to overly materialistic focus.

VIRGO ESSENCE

Filaree Essence

The essence that works to balance the energy of the sign of Virgo is the Filaree essence from the California system.

Virgo is an energy that speaks of the power of observation, the power of analysis that performs quality control, the desire to make things more functional, and the need to feel useful. Virgo also speaks of organization and simplicity. The Filaree flower essence addresses excessive worry about small daily problems, over-criticism of others' mistakes, anxiety, and complaints related to details.

• Positive Qualities: Star-like vision, a cosmic overview which holds the events of ordinary life in perspective.

• Patterns of Imbalance: Obsessive worry and compulsion about minor events; unable to gain a wider perspective in daily life; hyper-focus on small details.

CAPRICORN ESSENCE

Elm Essence

The essence that works to balance the energy of the sign of Capricorn is the Elm essence from the Bach system.

Capricorn is an energy that speaks of determination, discipline, and organization in pursuit of ambitions. Practicality and objectivity to see things as they are, enabling prudent action and understanding necessary sacrifices. The Elm flower essence helps those normally very capable people who take on many responsibilities but suddenly feel overwhelmed, tired, and unable to cope with their commitments.

• Positive Qualities: Joyous service, faith and confidence to complete one’s task; ability to shoulder tasks effectively.

• Patterns of Imbalance: Overwhelmed by personal or work obligations, feeling unequal to the task required; dysfunctional or scattered response to responsibilities and commitments.
