WHAT IT REVEALS
If you’re drawn to the Butterfly Pea Flower, you may be experiencing an intensification of complexity in life. Perhaps you’re moving through some kind of expansion or life feels like it’s speeding up. Often in times of personal growth, everything gets disassembled in order to reassemble. In these moments, it can be a challenge to have clarity about how all the puzzle pieces of your life experience or vision fit together.
You may flip-flop from one idea to the next or be easily influenced by loved ones, colleagues or even social media. You may not feel as clear as usual about what you want. You may feel wishy-washy or unsure. A step-by-step process may elude you, or you may have a hard time delegating or requesting assistance. In moments you may feel weak, vulnerable or like you have no backbone. You may not be allowing yourself to ask for exactly what you want, both from a verbal and metaphysical perspective.
WHAT IT CATALYZES
Butterfly Pea Flower, otherwise known as Blue Pea, helps us be more firm, clear and act with integrity. It magnifies our ability to create a plan and have the strength to execute it. We can pivot quickly when needed, while staying true to our priorities. We don’t take things personally and nothing takes us off track. We’re clear in what we want, and we know how to go for it.
The Butterfly Pea flower essence roots us into our deepest priorities and gives us the ability to break it down into action steps. We can more easily develop our vision into a roll-out process – knowing how to create in the world. In taking actions toward leaving a legacy, we know that we’re caring for future generations.
In times of confusion, Butterfly Pea gives us the strength, power and clarity to get clear on what we want and ask for it, whether to ourselves, the universe or directly from others. It helps us be more direct and shameless as we express our needs and wishes. It gives us the ability to be sharp and sure; we’re certain of our actions and our path. Rather than a perceived expression of weakness or lack of safety – vulnerability becomes a framework to ask for what we want and receive it.
In lieu of being influenced by social media or others’ opinions, Butterfly Pea flower essence elicits a sword-like clarity within us, allowing us to center ourselves in our own lucidity and operate without external inputs. It helps us get clear on what we’re aiming for, and execute with tenacity. No wavering. Leaning in. Going for it. Clarity of vision & priorities. This flower essence helps us be more resolute, driven, determined and fixed in our purpose, with the ability to execute the plan.
FUN FACTS
The Butterfly Pea Flower is edible with a subtle earthy taste, almost unnoticeable in flavorful dishes or drinks, making it a perfect drink & food additive for its color, which turns from bright blue to purple & pink when mixed with lemon juice or other acidic juices (a natural pH indicator!).
AND it has so many benefits aside from its beautiful color! In traditional herbalism & Ayurveda, Butterfly Pea Flower is used as a nootropic & adaptogen, supporting memory, focus, cognitive function, as well as nervous system regulation. It’s high in antioxidants, is anti-inflammatory and supports healthy blood flow and circulation. This is an herbal ‘all-arounder’ – long treasured for its connection to mental clarity and whole-body vitality.
In the garden, Butterfly Pea produces a special peptide called cyclotide, acting as a natural, eco-friendly insecticide to protect its own vines. Like other legumes, this plant also is a nitrogen fixer, helping to enrich the surrounding soil, for both present & future life.
