TEA  Camellia sinensis 

With great simplicity and elegance, Tea Flower’s white petals encircle a generous orb of golden stamens. As most Flowers speak with panache and personality, it should have come as no surprise that Tea Flower’s personality matched its elegant appearance, but I was surprised by its strength and the direction of it’s essential gifts.  It left me feeling I had never really understood my long attachment to the drinking of cup after cup of tea.

It is way past time to let Tea speak for itself, “ I AM the ancient one, rooted in timeless beginnings.  To sit with me, to work with my Flower Essence is to be still and immersed in true self.  I AM no busy-ness.  I AM expansive stillness beyond measure.  I AM the mirror that shows you a true reflection of self.  I AM freedom, peace and harmony. 

I AM the contentment of stillness.
