Chamomile

This beautifully delicate little flower radiates joy, warmth, comfort, and light. She  offers protection and purification in abundance and with great generosity. In times of overwhelm or emotional distress, Chamomile is a beautiful plant to invite into your life. From her bright yellow solar center, outward to her rays of kindness displayed as petals, she beckons to you to come close and to lay your troubles down.  Simply being with her is healing, and if you can have a cup of chamomile tea in her presence, all the merrier. 

I am working with her as an Elixir and offer this in my online Shop. You can easily make your own if you would like, adding your prayers and intentions as you create. It is a beautiful practice to make your own medicine, and it is also nourishing to receive a love infused medicine if you are needing a little caretaking for yourself.  See what feels right to you in this moment. 

To make an elixir , fill a mason jar with the flowers, cover with local honey and organic grain alcohol, leave to sit for 4-6 weeks, turning the jar upside down a few times every other day to make sure the flowers are covered and being extracted into the menstrum (honey and alcohol). If needed, add alcohol to keep the flowers completely immersed in the menstrum, this will prevent mold. 

You can work with the flowers as a holy smoke to clear out heavy energies from your living space, and you can burn outside as an offering to our  Mother Earth. The purity and clarity from Chamomile is especially potent in clearing unhealthy energies from our shared collective consciousness, and it is nice to do this near a body of moving water. You can use holy smoke, or add the flowers to the water after praying over them and infusing them with blessings of healing for all of Creation. 

Listen closely and you will hear her messages. Gift yourself with this connection, allow yourself to play and create, and remember that Love is available in each and every moment. Even the heavy ones. 

May your Heart be blessed with ease, comfort, and joy. 

Love,

Glenna
