Rebirth, recovery, healing from abuse, a return to joy, finding contentment with less, and experiencing good cheer no matter the circumstances; These are some of the healing intentions of this Desert Flower Essence collection, reflecting its origins in the extreme climate of the deserts of the southwest where less is enough for life to joyously prevail and the human abuse of Earth that often creates deserts is proven to be insufficient to stop Earth and all of us from healing.

THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF DESERTS AND THEIR WILDFLOWERS

Deserts result from humanity’s abuse of the natural world. They are landscapes that have born so much mistreatment in previous eras that they have scarred over into what appears to be dead zones. As humanity confronts the need to change course and save Earth from more depredations, it is important to look at deserts for the messages they carry. Before you despair any further, the Angels note,  "We come to tell you that the messages from the deserts will cheer you.  In a word, the messages are ones of hope. Even in the suffering desert landscape, a place that appears beyond salvage, there is an upwelling of life in the blossoming of Wildflowers.

Desert Wildflowers embody the possibility of renewal. They embody the truth that no landscape and no person are beyond the grace of a new life and the healing of old wounds. Wildflowers in the desert not only indicate healing of abused landscapes is possible; their electrical patterns are part of the healing process.

It is the tendency of the human mind to separate self-care from planetary care.  The mind says, "I must get what I need at the expense of everyone and everything else." This is the attitude that created deserts. Deserts reflect illusions of separation and otherness.

The human heart knows self-care is care of all creation. The human heart knows, "You and I are not we but one." It is a collective of human hearts working in harmonious oneness with Nature that will heal the deserts and other damaged places on Earth.

Like the human heart, Wildflowers know themselves to exist in oneness with all creation. They know their vibrational gifts are for EVERYONE. When they bloom, they give to their landscape, give to themselves, and give to whatever life populates their realm.

To visit the Desert Wildflowers is to be bathed in hope and vibrations of recovery.

They extend their gifts of healing and hope to a much larger community when transformed into Desert Wildflower Essences.

As you read the following descriptions of Desert Wildflower Essences, you may notice how frequently the Essences focus on healing from abusive situations.  You may ask why Desert Wildflowers would be more adept at healing wounds of abuse than the Flowers of other eco-systems.

In order to blossom in an abused landscape, a desolate place of extremes, little physical nourishment, and rare precipitation, Desert Wildflowers evolve an ability to find the goodness and sustenance that is available in their environment. They learn to seize any given window of opportunity that allows them to thrive and express their radiant selves. They learn how to transmute a situation of abuse and flourish.  How to accomplish this triumph over adversity is the vibrational wisdom they give as Flower Essences, showing the abused places in us how to likewise heal and flourish anew.

New Desert Wildflower Essences were made in Death Valley, the Mojave Desert, and in the case of the White Flower from Druid Rock, in the Sierra Nevada near Bishop, CA in March of 2008 by Elizabeth Sheehan. Catherine Barritt and Jayn Bier made our original Desert Wildflower Essences in the Sonoran Desert & Rio Verde Valley, AZ during the spring of 1999 and 2000. I am grateful to all three desert travelers.
