This collection of Flower Essences offers the unique strengths of St. John, USVI, an oasis of protected land and sea in a region at the mercy of the highest bidders. This collection also offers the strengths of all seaside Flowers with their ability to link the separate worlds of sea and land. All these strengths translate into Flower Essences that show us how to cross similar divides, find common ground between different worlds and people, navigate the ebbs and flows of romantic partnership, solve problems that have defied solution, even pull together and close wounds that have resisted healing. These Essences help us bridge the gap between what we know about ourselves and what we must do to be ourselves. They help us bring ashore new paradigms of creativity. St John’s feminine nature also brings us Flower Essences that support women to be their sacred feminine, one self-affirming moment at a time.
GREEN HOPE FARM FLOWER ESSENCE MISSIONS
When the Angels send me out on a Flower Essence gathering mission to St. John in the Virgin Islands or elsewhere, I look for new Flower friends that I might have missed on previous trips, as well as old Flower friends. I talk to any Flowering plant that wants to talk with me. I only make a Flower Essence if the plant is interested and the Angels want an Essence made from the Flower. This sounds like more of a distinction than it is, because almost always if a Flower wants to become an Essence, the Angels guiding me are in accord that it will make a good Flower Essence.
Flowers sometimes tell me that they are not interested. At the other end of the spectrum, sometimes a Flower will send me a wave of love vibration to get my attention so that I pursue a conversation. During a 2005 trip to St. John, Pavonia Spinifex sent me a wave of love that was so strong; I stopped in my tracks to see what Flower was greeting me in this way. Needless to say, Pavonia was one of the lovely Essences made during the 2005 trip.
WHY BOTHER WITH THE TRADITIONAL MEDICINAL USES FOR PLANTS?
Plants that want to become Flower Essences almost always have been used medicinally down through the ages. Plants that want to share their gifts with the human community now have usually done so before. One reason I offer information about traditional medicinal uses for plants is because this information indicates the vital and integrated role plants played in our lives up until the industrial revolution. Most plants are our healing and nourishing allies. Until recently, most human communities knew and appreciated this.
Modern culture scares us about plants. The National Park on St John has few plant identification signs besides an enormous one warning people not to touch the bark, leaves, or fruit of one poisonous species. Yes, there are dangerous and toxic plants, but the degree to which we have thrown the baby out with the bath water is unfortunate. To know the plants in our world is to know that many more are helpful to the health and well being of us than are harmful. My hope is that we will reclaim our kinship with the green world, respecting those plants that are poisonous while also honoring the vastly greater group of plants that have long offered healing gifts to humanity.
Flower Essences offer a very safe way to receive the healing gifts of plants without fear of a poisonous encounter with an unknown plant. This is because Flower Essences are NOT an infusion of the plant or composed in any way from the physical plant. They are the electrical pattern of the plant transferred from the blossom of the plant to our stabilizer of red shiso, white vinegar and water. Flower Essences offer the healing wisdom of the plant accessible through a safe medium. This makes them a wonderful way to get reacquainted with the healing plants of the world.
