MALTESE CROSS Lychnis chalcedonica

Each brilliant, rich orange Maltese Cross Flower is shaped in a cross of four equal length petals. Its geometry of complete balance, unity, and order holds before us the truth of an unconditionally loving Creator, present in even the most divisive looking situations. 

Because Maltese Cross holds a vibration of unity in all circumstances, it is particularly helpful in situations of extreme stress including betrayal, sudden loss of a partner or a career, death of a beloved friend, abandonment, a broken heart, or any situation in which there is a violent tearing apart of the fabric of our lives.  This is the one for the times when life feels like a bloodbath.  When such events occur, Maltese Cross pulls us back into our center, supports us to keep going and helps us cross the bridge from fear into faith. 

It does not take us back to our old view of things, but fills us with new confidence that unity is still the operative experience even in tearing away processes. Maltese Cross knows that what is really being torn away is our illusion that something can be lost to us. Maltese Cross knows that experiences that seem to shatter us into pieces actually break us open so we can know our wholeness, holiness, and the unity of all things. 

In our grief, it is easy to interpret events as meaning we have done wrong and deserve this punishment. Maltese Cross reveals to us that the experience of loss is not a punishment, but a doorway to show us that loss is an illusion.  Nothing can ever be lost to us for we are God in God. Maltese Cross knows this and supports us to find within us this comforting truth.

I AM the complete realization that God is with me.

"I made up a dosage bottle of Maltese Cross for the two children of a woman who is going through a divorce.  She tells me that both children will say throughout the day "Mommy, remmies please" It pleases me that they ask for them and she says the remedies are definitely helping them through this hard time."
