ANGEL TRUMPET- A Flower Essence Calms Wednesday’s Child Full of Woe

ANGEL TRUMPET
A Flower Essence
Calms Wednesday’s Child Full of Woe


As my summer of Flowers races towards yet another season with its own reason, I am moved to share. From our work week to yours, let us address the hump day syndrome and the value of 
Flower Essence.

Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day speaks of the “disagreeable nature of weather,” and the Winds day. I may prefer this to the nursery rhyme that rings of the Child of Woe. My current book in progress addresses the sad fact that sorrow, loss and woe is a unifying human experience we all share. In my writing of ‘Mooning the Moon,’ I share that Angel Trumpet helped me survive an eclipse of the heart and still thrive.

Angel Trumpet reminds us that there is re-birth that follows death. Her song is one of a conscious soul awareness that allows for the free flow of transition. With Angel Trumpet, surrender fuels a profound opening, for “rebirthing processes.” Yes, yes, I know that traditionally we speak of and reach for Angel Trumpet to assist the passage from this world to the next. I would venture to share, that in my personal journey, work and life experience, Angel Trumpet’s song has helped me to live my life As If rebirth happens freely and often.

I find that of all daze of the week I have a healthy natural resistance to this mid-work-week day. As in all aspects of life, what we resist persist. That’s where Angels and their Trumpets come in. So many times, in our dharma, our dedicated service there comes profound moments of perspective. There are times when we experience doubt, denial and resistance to our chosen paths. How many mid-week crises has your life experienced when you felt you just can not go on? When it appears that a little piece of you dies. Angel Trumpet is profoundly helpful in times of deep transformation.

To see Humanity harmed this way 

Oh the pain to see the whole world cry 

especially when it’s friends and family 

Is Silence golden

But my eyes still see

I’d Silence golden, golden

But my eyes still saw 

  Talking is cheap as people follow sheep 

Even though they’re led to a hell hole 

How could they tell they deceived them  so well 

Pity they’ll be the last one to know

Is Silence golden

But my eyes still see

Is Silence golden, golden

But my eyes still saw 

How many times will they fall for these lies 

Should I tell them or remain Silent 

And if I tried I know they’d say I lied

Mind yourself not cool to be a fool 

Is Silence golden

But my eyes still see

Is Silence golden, golden

But my eyes still saw 

But my eyes still see

But my eyes still see”🎡

So how do we protect our sanity our well-being back into a Homeostasis status? The Concerted Global Gas Lighting (all pronouns welcome here;) has led to bloody-tongue -word-twisting and biting cruelty. The “nothing to see here“ narrative of the mind bending unrelenting psychological warfare that was deployed upon all of humanity must be addressed. 

We need to Reveal Wounds psychological or physical in order to Heal! We must find ways to offset the “don’t believe you’re lying eyes” narrative. We simply cannot unsee the past three years, and the toll it has taken. 

Anyone that knows of my dedicated service to the healing arts of 44 years, knows that I will always offer solutions to consider when posing problems. One Rising concern I’ve seen is regarding blood pressure. Maintaining Homeostasis is not possible when blood pressure is either too high or low. 

There’s no doubt Humanities stress levels have been rampant and prolonged. It’s no wonder I’ve seen arise in clients experiencing: racing or fast heartbeat, Hypertension, high blood pressure not to mention strokes and heart attacks! The symptoms may include but are not limited to abnormal heartbeat, anxiety, lightheadedness, pain or tightness in the chest, neck back or arms. 

Gaia’s apothecary is proof positive mankind was given all that we need in the Garden of Eaten! It is what ‘The Power of Weee’ refers to as the “original medicine“ ie. food as medicine. Food Is Not What some would have us believe as the “alternative.” Food is, was and always will be the original medicine intended for mankind’s well-being. As a Herbalist I would be remiss not to share one of my favorite old school, “go to’s” in my cupboard!

Cayenne Pepper aka 🌢 Capsicum🌢

That being said here goes the dreaded and wretched  Disclaimer! and I quote “Statements regarding dietary supplements have not been evaluated by the FDA and I’m not intended to diagnose, treat, cure,  or prevent any disease or health condition.”

That being said, Now back to the garden! Capsicum the active constituent found within a whole family of peppers may do more than spice up your life. Many of my next statements “may” have actually been “proven.” But suffice it to say I will be inserting the word “May.“ 

Spicy food including many varieties of peppers contain Capsicum the active constituent that may aid in lowering blood pressure by controlling blood flow. By improving the circulatory system your heart, arteries, capillaries and nerves may be strengthened as well. Cayenne or capsicum may act to Tonify; that is to support or nourish many bodily functions. 

For many decades I begin most mornings with a warm tonic on an empty stomach drank through a straw. I have many tonic additions depending on the season but they all include: lemon or apple cider vinegar always with a dash of cayenne pepper to start my metabolism and aid in the possibility of clearing mucus out of my body! 

And since were sticking to the basics of “The Great Reset 101” of doing No Harm let’s get back to the basics! In my writing and teaching I will always try to default To the old adage that you have exactly what you need within your reach! 

One of the known and often forgotten tools within your reach is your breath. Be it anxiety, hypertension, Racing Hearts no matter what your expression is of your in-balance; the fastest way to check in with yourself before you wreck yourself is to focus on your breath.

Just 🧘‍♂️  Breathe 🧘  please 🧘‍♀️ 

It’s not just for yoga girls;) 

There are as many disciplines of breath control and awareness as there are snowflakes;) Become an advocate of your role in self-care and take responsibility for re-educating yourself on this first action of your life! With focus on deeper, slower, more measured breaths; we can breathe new life, renewed Spiritus (ie Holy Spirit) into every fiber of  your being. 

Why even our very overloaded brains register this measured breath as a state of relaxation. Have you ever heard the term rest and digest? This does not just apply to the foods that we digest but it also applies to our ability to digest our lives. In my writings and teachings I am of the mindset that one size does not fit all and that you must find the system that suits your needs. 

So let’s start at the very beginning with what is called baby’s Buddha Belly’s first breath. You can’t get more basic in my ‘Great Reset 101’  than with the tool that you have right under your nose!  Known to “may” help with many of the aforementioned maladies. I will leave you with a simple formula that I’ve used with children. “Simon Says” ...

Breathe in through the nose •  for a count of 4 expanding and welcoming softness ~ focus on the Life Giving property of oxygen •

• Now hold at the top of the breath count of 4 ~allowing the breath to expand throughout your body infusing your cells with life’s element • 

•  Through perched lips exhale for same count of 4 ~ to expel byproducts and release unwanted emotions ~ that no longer serves you ~ imagine exhale as important as inhale to dispel • 

•Now hold at bottom of breath same 4 count (for now) ~ allowing the body the empty space in order to  

πŸ’¨ welcome your next new breath. πŸ’¨ 

🌬 “Inhale the future, exhale the past." 🌬

Now, Rinse and Repeat. This quiet space, will do more than you may know to realign with your true nature. This mindful pause helps to remove the automatic responses in life. To develop an Eagle’s eye bringing forth a new perspective.  A round of 4 done several times throughout your day can give you a new lease on life! Quiet moments such as time on your ‘Throne’ or driving or even standing in line makes good use of your time. 

All of nature stays true to nature, naturally; as it realizes its full zenith potential in the stillness of just being. Our true nature reveals itself in the still point of meditation. But first you must show up to train the mind gently and consistently to rest in silence. For it is in the quietude of regular meditation, the ability to connect to the source of consciousness itself is revealed. It is in this silence that the very nature of Self can reveal itself!

Oh yeah and just smile please, surely you’ve heard that a simple smile has the ability to release a plethora of feel good hormones                           but more on that in another read!

Here’s the results:  “The study tells us that the “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” aphorism was coined in 1913 but was based on the original form with a different rhyme, some 149 years ago in Wales: “Eat an apple on going to bed and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread,” went the proverb in Pembrokeshire. The daily apple eaters in the study  were more likely to successfully avoid prescription medication than the people who did not eat apples.”

HIBISCUS - A Flower Essence               In Times of Paradigm Shift



HIBISCUS
A Flower Essence
 In Times of Paradigm Shift

Aloha. “Can we talk?” 
I have used Joan River’s question, for decades now, 
as I ask permission to undress the importance of our Sensuality.  

Here’s my question; which may not be your cup of tea, and that’s Ok with me. 
Ladies, are you tired of Shopping for the Bacon, Buying the Bacon, 
Bringing the Bacon home, Cooking the Bacon, 
Cleaning up after the Bacon and finding that every bite of Bacon 
goes to your Belly as the Adrenal spot for stress storage?

Guys and Gals believe me, when I say; I realize this is not a one sided 
gender issue, stereotypes have dehumanized sexuality. 
The song of the Hibiscus flower essence reaches a realm 
beyond human language that intimately touches the soul.
Hibiscus essence infuses her warmth of the divine feminine 
to gently unlock episodes of the past locked away. 
For it’s only when we reveal can we heal.  

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am certain we would all agree 
that procreation is the highest form of our ability to create. 
Hibiscus flower essence helps us reclaim this same beautiful, 
energy into our daily lives as Co-creators of our lives! 
Imagine living life in a way that integrates your Soul’s warmth 
with your Heart’s Desire on this physical plane.  
With the higher octave of Hibiscus essence 
resonating in your daily life, it is possible to 
restore your authentic expressions 
upon this world with natural vitality.

It is well known to all those around me 
Hibiscus tea is considered my Adult Kool-Aid. 
Just between you me and God, more times than not, 
the Flower Essence of Hibiscus fortifies this glass of rejuvenation.

As a Prayer Princess, Peace was truly my focus as a young woman, 
beginning with Peace in my Life. 
As I replaced Maiden for Mother, my prayer began for Balance. 
And there it remains. Balance in my Life, my children’s and their children’s 
Lives as well as our Earth Mother, Gaia. 
I have learned from my 40 years of dedicated service, 
that Balance, is a fundamental constituent of Peace.

I pray for that ‘Once upon a Day,’ 
when we regain our Balance and the Paradigm Shifts 
towards the Peace of our Paradise. Aloha.

Monday Morning Glory's Flower Essence




Monday Morning Glory's Flower Essence

As another work-week begins, and my summer of Flowers races towards yet another season with its own reason; I am moved to share. From our garden to yours, let me introduce one of my favorite healing modalities: Flower Essence.

As we greet Monday, let us start this work day in a new way. Rise and Shine is the song of Morning Glory. If ever there’s a day that needs to address the human psyche, this moon day with all of its emotions is a candidate to be toned down in order to tune in. Our society breeds “weekend warriors” with many distractions feeding erratic rhythms. If there’s a heavy reliance on caffeine to open your eyes in order to counter that hung-over feeling after late-night activities, Morning Glory can help you write a new story.

In my personal journey of seeking balance between Life and Duty I encounter resistance against “producing” as a measure of my worth. This battle of my will and societies expectations goes on and lives on as I watch my children. In my personal approach to this never-ending cycle, I address the human psyche.

I have written, “A return to innocence, our True Nature is at stake here. We must safe-guard our true worth. It is possible with this modality of Flower Essence that marries ancient wisdom with a modern awareness of the human psych. This ‘Spiritual Science’ of working with the archetypes of flowers is a purrfect match in these
Time’s of shifting paradigms for healing.” –cas

Morning Glory brings sparkle
to that sticky sluggish residue that hinders you. A Refresh button, if you will, to reawaken the wonder of staying in touch with your natural life rhythms.
