 My
first choice for this series is a magnificent tall and proud flower.
This plant has over one metre-long sword-like leaves that surround a
flower spike of up to six metres high, which bears a large cluster
of bright red flowers. It blooms in spring and summer.
I feel that
PURPOSE ought to be the second name of this plant.
Imagine
yourself being this plant – tall, strong, proud, not scared
of showing who it is, and lets nothing get in the way of being
what it is.
You can
utilise the energy of this plant when you feel that you have
extraordinary qualities but fear has allowed you to conform to
societies rules and regulation. This plant can help you to
break free from the norm to find and live your passion that
has been suppressed. Be who you are and do what you have to
do, without being worried of what other people think. People
feel often threatened if their dear-ones break the norm and
will try and hold you down. Often these people are happy with
their world on the surface, but have somewhere a doubt that
there should be more than this, but are scared to challenge
their current lives. When you change the norm, it threatens
their current existence. If you are different deep down inside
and want to get your act into gear, this remedy will help you
to be strong in yourself when you break away from your normal
‘fearful’ self or when others try to pull you down with
their negativity. The red/orange colour of this flower will
put you firmly in your base and sacral chakra, therefore
grounding you in your purpose.
 When you look
at this plant, you can maybe also imagine being intimidated by
this huge dominant image of this 6-meter (ca.10ft) tall plant.
Therefore, the
remedy can also be good for people who are too dominant,
arrogant, extrovert and maybe attention seeking. They usually
get their own way. They can come across as menacing to people
who are much less confident. It will help to temper their
force and help them to become aware of other’s feelings and
allow others to participate and contribute. It helps them to
find humility.
It will help
younger ones to feel special in their own right, and stop
craving glamour and status.
Red is the
colour of passion, which this remedy will enhance within you.
The red-orange colour of this plant will resonate with
the base and sacral chakra.
Remember
though, that a healthy person needs to operate from all
chakras to be balanced and whole.
The base
chakra relates to:
The
right to be here: simply to exist, take care of ourselves, and
have possessions.
Fear: Comes when one’s survival is threatened. May force energy into
the upper chakras.
The
sacral chakra relates to:
The
right to feel: to express and understand one’s emotions,
needs, and wants.
Guilt: Keeps us from reaching out, hindering emotional and sexual
ties with others.
