Plant of the Day
Thursday 20 July 2023
In this terraced hotel garden, on Shetland, the flowers of oriental poppies were providing colourful splashes of red and pink. The single, bowl-shaped, salmon-pink flowers were Papaver (Oriental Group) 'Prinzessin Victoria Louise' (oriental poppy) which is a vigorous clump forming perennial. These poppies are summer deciduous after flowering.

This month, we’ve been looking at each of the seven chakras in turn, and exploring which essences are best suited to balancing each one. (As a reminder, you can always use the “Essence Groups” drop-down menu on our website to find essences categorized by chakra.) Today, we reach the seventh and final chakra, the crown chakra. Located at the crown of the head, this chakra related to issues of spirituality and higher vision. A person with a healthy crown chakra will simultaneously embrace their earthly body and take an interest in spiritual growth, seeking always to become a better human being and a better citizen of earth. Many of the essences Ava recommends to balance the seventh chakra have the ability to ground us and strengthen our sense of our own knowledge and worth. For example, white yarrow is a shielding essence. It acts almost like an umbrella to bounce off negative energies, and can help us to feel stronger, less vulnerable, and more resilient. Borage can also help to bolster emotional resiliency and ease a negative outlook, which makes it a good choice for facing down difficult situations or embarking on a new and challenging journey. Black locust has a relaxing influence on the mind, and can bring about a feeling of quiet happiness and a sense of emotional fullness. It is often recommended as a calming influence for those who struggle with stress, impatience, and mood swings. White morning glory also has a relaxing effect, but this delicate vine flower is especially recommended for soothing sleep problems, such as difficulty calming an overactive mind and falling asleep. And Oriental poppy contains a balance of both fire and air elements, and can foster a greater sense of self-worth and self-assuredness, especially when it comes to sexuality and physical confidence. As well as the essences shown here, Ava also recommends shooting star, prairie smoke, and black pine flower essences, as well as celestite gem essence, to support the seventh chakra. . . #seventhchakra #7thchakra #crownchakra #crownchakrahealing #energyhealing #essencehealing #innerbalance #whiteyarrow #borage #blacklocust #orientalpoppy #morningglory #floweressences https://www.instagram.com/p/CkyleutJaRf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The distinctive flower buds of Papaver orientale 'Nanum Flore Pleno' (double-flowered oriental poppy) are as wonderful as the flowers. This herbaceous perennial is a useful addition to a cottage garden but they may leave a gap in the border as they are summer dormant.

When a person feels creatively blocked, is struggling to express their individuality and originality, or is feeling overshadowed or drained by their family or romantic relationships, often what is needed is a balancing effect on the second chakra. The second chakra, also known as the sacral chakra, is associated with water and governs concerns around relationships, creative expression, and sexuality. The plants most associated with the second chakra include lilies and other water-loving plants that thrive in damp climates. Water lily, for example, repairs the flow of energy in the second chakra to facilitate an easier flow through life and through navigating relationships. Lily Magnolia can help to balance both the second chakra and the fourth (heart) chakra to help us feel more openhearted, emotionally strong yet sensitive, and more comfortable and safe connecting with others. Nasturtium’s water element encourages creative flow and deep inspiration, while Oriental poppy is ideal for issues around intimacy and sexuality. Other plant essences with an affinity for the second chakra include purple and yellow iris, bladderwort, calendula, buttercup, motherwort, and anchusa, among others. There are also a variety of gem essences associated with the second chakra. Rainbow moonstone’s cooling water element can help to soothe hormonal problems such as mood swings and reproductive issues, for example, while citrine is an ideal choice for enabling creative flow and focus. #secondchakra #2ndchakra #sacralchakra #sacralchakrahealing #secondchakrahealing #chakrahealing #energyhealing #waterenergy #floweressences #gemessences #waterlily #lilymagnolia #nasturtium #orientalpoppy #rainbowmoonstone #citrine https://www.instagram.com/p/CjTLPXdrnZC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
