GARDENIA Gardenia jasminoides

When you work with her Flower Essence, mysterious but infinitely loving Gardenia offers herself as an intimate friend and ally. She is the kind of friend you would want to take into battle or have with you during any kind of difficulty.  The phrase loyal and true does not begin to suggest the commitment Gardenia makes to the souls she works with.

The relationship is a two way street. Gardenia loves for you to hold her light in the world, even as you benefit from her light. This sounds more binding than it is. Most of the people called to Gardenia already have an intense relationship with her and already hold her light in the world. In other words, there is no burden in deepening the relationship via the Flower Essence, only an expansion of a blessing.  Those souls working with Gardenia ARE blessed light keepers for Gardenia while she, in turn, generously blesses them with her wisdom, illumination and tender friendship.  

Her many strengths may be cloaked, but one gift that is accessible is Gardenia’s support in piercing the veil of illusion. Gardenia blossom's fragrance hints at this ability to lift the veil, for scent is the sense which can best set us free from the illusions that blind and bind us.  This is because our sense of smell is the sense we have created the fewest ways to distort.  Consequently, a scent enters our consciousness with a clarity and directness unequaled by the other four senses.  Gardenia in its scent and as a Flower Essence, offers a gateway to a clearer, truer experience of reality.

I AM the open door to the full unfolding of my essential nature.

"I am still working with Gardenia Flower Essence a lot.  Now I am taking it just before I go to sleep and asking to work on certain issues while I sleep.  By the next morning I have wonderful and very clear insights into whatever I asked.  Gardenia is clearly magnifying the kind of dream work which I've done for some time but which is more intense with the help of Gardenia" J.
