From Trauma to Transformation: Healing Manifestation Blocks Through Flower Essences & Spiritual Sovereignty
My ritual herbal journey began maybe where my classmates expected it to, given my unabashed embrace of esotericism, but with a process even I thought was a little bit "woo" at first--capturing the essence of a flower through sunshine and patience!
We had the option of choosing other flowers to work with on the day we learned about capturing flower essences, but I was intuitively drawn to comfrey.
It is called "knitbone" and herbally, it is used to help heal wounds. Spiritually, it has similar effects...it helps knit together the broken pieces of your heart, mind, soul, and spirit after a traumatic or heart-breaking experience, and boy, it is effective! (To put it in context, within days of interacting with comfrey I experienced the coming together of different members of my family, separated for years due to estrangement. Today these same broken pieces are healing deep emotional rifts created by trauma, miscommunication, misunderstandings, and, in the case with one, intentional malice by another person. In other words, this is powerful stuff!)
I had long before begun the process of manifesting my happily ever after but I kept encountering delays, roadblocks, and user error that I realized had its root in unhealed trauma. How can you manifest abundance when you are operating from a scarcity mindset? How can you manifest a healthy partnership when you still struggle with self-worth issues that allow you to accept less than you deserve? How do you take charge of your life and become the main character in your story when you are still hiding in the background and letting people and events make decisions for you? How do you rise up as a survivor or walk away from the trauma narrative altogether when you are still operating as a victim?
Around the same time I came up with my "Thurisaz Spread" for my collective
readings, based on "Thor's rune," meant for breaking through obstacles that are getting in the way. This spread explores the conscious blocks, the subconscious blocks, the areas of life affected by the blocks, and gives advice for how to move through.
The rune itself looks like a thorn, which perfectly matches the ubiquitous blackberry brambles that decorate this part of the PNW, and so, I set out to capture my first on-my-own blackberry flower essence. (Let me tell you, the flowers don't always want to share their energy, so when you are successful and see the "bubbles of magic" it is quite an exciting experience.)
That is when my "healing blocks to manifestation" blend was born.
Healing Trauma-Based Manifestation Blocks: The Birth of a Flower Essence Blend
Together these flower essences create a ritual blend that I have been using nearly every day since I put it together. With the help of this blend I have been able to dull the fear of taking inspired action toward my goals, I have been empowered to step up and take control of the reins of my life again...maybe, ever?, and the act of retrieving this herbal ritual from my cabinet is a physical reminder that every day I have the power and capacity to manifest my highest timeline.
When I add this flower essence blend to my grounding water cup each day it is a physical reminder that I have the power to transform my life. I am not a passenger on my life's journey, but the driver. I am no longer the passive actor allowing things to happen TO me, but a conscious co-creator making things happen FOR me.
I went from accepting the circumstances of a life I did not choose, staying in a job that I had long outgrown, and chasing after a relationship that wasn't showing up in the way I deserved.
And now, less than a year later, I have stepped into a new timeline by taking a leap of faith on myself and following a path I never could have imagined being brave enough to try before. I am a certified herbalist offering this ritual magic to others who may be feeling like their life is adrift or they are struggling to overcome obstacles in their own path to healing and wholeness, and rather than chasing breadcrumbs, I am magnetizing the relationship of my dreams. In other words, THIS STUFF WORKS!
Recognizing that trauma-based patterns can influence what we believe is possible for ourselves is one thing. Understanding how those patterns may be showing up in our lives is another.
