Angel ica - Divine Support during Birth & Death

The angelica flower essence provides strength, love and compassion. It opens the heart to the possibilities of divine guidance during the most intense moments of the human experience. The name Angelica is peaceful and seemingly angel-ish. This is not a coincidence. It is an example of the doctrine of signatures, when the name and/or appearance of the flower reflect its healing properties.



Going Further: Mullein flower, another example of the doctrine of signatures, has a long stock and teeny yellow flowers. When parted down the center, Mullein looks just like a picture of the throat chakra mandala. Mullein is indicated for "speaking your truth."



Life and death meet full circle in nature. Destructive fire creates mineral rich soil in which to grow life. Each new chapter leaves a void or a 'death' of the phase that existed before. And so it goes.. but it is always intense. Angelica essence is indicated for mourning, and it can be ingested or put in a spray bottle of spring water (and essential oils too, if you are so inclined.) Every spritz or drop of essence brings your entire being a little closure to your true Self and the possibility that this too will pass. Palo Santo, or sacred wood, can also help, as it is grounding, calming and clears energy.



Smudging is the act of lighting the Palo Santo (or white sage or sweet grass or other) and waving it around one's space or oneself as to symbolically burn up any stagnant or negative energy. Shamans and Native Priests have been doing this for thousands of years, so it is worth a shot- but you have to be open and present for it to work.



Namaste.
