Worth a Laugh! And Maybe an Afterthought or two…
I received this photo from a friend today, It was a good chuckle at first, these two cars somehow smushed into a toll booth. Then I had a thought about how busy we are in the world today. Then – of course the flower essences for this situation popped into my mind. I mean, how many of us are in a state of critical busy-ness in our daily lives? This picture is a perfect metaphor for how life can get… an extreme example of the things that can happen when we are “too busy to look up and see where we are headed”. With today’s technology and social and economical demands, it can be tricky finding a balance!
We can reset our perspective and regain the “bigger picture” with the gentle help of flower essences.
Get Back in the Flow of Time
Impatiens flower essence, in a nutshell, is for Patience. The product description states “for people not in the flow of time”. That fits this picture!
Transmute Aggression Into Positive Social Impulses
Tiger Lily is for too much masculine (yang) energy; aggression. I have prescribed this remedy for physical, mental and emotional aggression found in both men and women. We all have a mixture of feminine and masculine energy within us. Tiger Lily helps in addressing aggressive impulses and finding a healthy outlet for them… in which a toll booth is definitely not a healthy outlet!
Although this is a very rudimentary assesment of the picture, I don’t know what really happened with these two drivers, I wanted to take the opportunity to use the metaphor for a good storytelling, sharing these two very important flower essences with you.

September 11th Solar Eclipse
September 11: Solar Eclipse in Virgo
Virgo New Moon Eclipse- Sept 11- 8.35am- create your healing vision for your life
Last September, in 2006, a solar eclipse in the last degree of Virgo reminded you (and the world) to take care of how you were taking care of yourself –whether it was food and water purity issues, or tending to your emotional, mental or spiritual health in some way. Now, a second Virgo solar eclipse brings your attention yet again to this area and you have a chance to see if you have been listening to yourself! Solar eclipses occur at the new moon, which represents new beginnings, and this is a big one since eclipses signal dramatic events. Additionally, eclipses occur at the north or south lunar node with the north node representing the future and the south node, the past. Since this eclipse occurs at the south node, the past is highlighted and anything that requires your attention will be extra obvious. It is time to take care of those things you’ve been meaning to get to that need your attention. Pay special attention to any overwork issues that can cause repetitive injuries and stress-related illnesses. What a great time to get an exercise program together and to eat healthy. It’s time, isn’t it? This eclipse contains a major aspect pattern called a mutable grand cross, which symbolizes people working at cross-purposes. Take your own inventory to help you avoid being unduly critical of others.
This new Moon will most affect those born September 9-13, December 9-13, March 7-11 and June 7-11.
