HOW TO SOFTEN YOUR DEEPEST PAIN

HOW TO SOFTEN YOUR DEEPEST PAIN

What is stressing you out right now?

Here’s an expedient way to soften your pain points by offering them flowers.

First things first.

Bring your three most challenging stressors to mind right now.

Awareness is the first step:

Once you can observe (and name) them … they already start to change shape.

Write them down if you can.

Rate them in order of difficulty or intensity ~ the first one is the hardest; the third one is the least intense of the three.

Let’s start with the gnarliest, most uncomfortable one.

1. Turn toward this stress within yourself, and look at the bouquets of flowers below. Choose the one you’re most drawn to, or that you intuitively feel will benefit your specific situation most. Take note of the number.

Bouquet 2 collage: Hong Kong orchid (self-acceptance), pink magnolia (self-care) and fireweed (forgiveness) with wild hawkweed.

Flower and crystal bouquet for easing stress: Pomegranate for strength, Jade Flower for presence, Black Tourmaline for protection.

LOTUSWEI Inspired Action bouquet collage: Red Bird of Paradise (focus), Fluorite (sixth sense), a bee on Euphrasia (intuition)

Bouquet 5 collage: bird of paradise (connection), passionflower (healing sleep) and brugmansia (balance).

Bouquet 6 collage: red hibiscus (relief), mountain laurel (comfort) and arctic lupine (deep peace) with emerald.

2. Where do you feel this challenge in your body? Without thinking about it, point to that place in your body.

Next, move to the stressor that’s slightly less intense than the first one.

1. Intuitively choose the bouquet below that will soothe the pain of this stress. Note the number.

Flower bouquet 7: peony for magnetism, white water lily for awareness, diamond for abundance.

Flower bouquet 8: red rose for tenderness, hollyhock for softness of character, rose quartz for unconditional love.

Bouquet 9 collage: black bat flower (fierce compassion), royal poinciana (conviction) and trumpet vine (effortless speech).

Bouquet 10 collage: giant spider lily (lightheartedness), banana blossom (spacious mind) and pink primrose (rapid growth).

Bouquet 11 collage: night-blooming cereus (fearlessness), papaya flower (receptivity) and banana yucca (hidden potential) with bamboo.

Bouquet 12 collage: white magnolia (experiencing the divine), spotted bee balm (soothing calm) and lilac (acceptance) with amethyst.

2. Where do you feel this challenge in your body? Without thinking, point to the area of your body.

Finally, focus on the least intense of all the stressors you’ve got happening right now.

1. Tune in to this particular dynamic in your life. Choose from the bouquets below that will soothe or transform this current dynamic. Remember the number you picked.

Bouquet 13 collage on magenta: Meadow Cabbage for nourishment, Sweet Pea for possibility, Red Cup Water Lily for self-actualization.

Bouquet 14 collage: cannonball flower (attunement), lady's mantle (curiosity) and clock vine (vulnerability) with green turquoise.

Bouquet 15 collage: desert milkweed (benevolence), skyrocket (boundaries) and nectarine blossom (camaraderie) with obsidian.

Bouquet 16 collage: Indian paintbrush (wayfinding), rose of Venezuela (wild breakthroughs) and shell ginger (embodiment of vision).

Bouquet 17 collage: pink torch ginger (interconnectedness), horsetail (foundation) and strawberry blossom (optimism), redwood behind.

Bouquet 18 collage: pride of Madeira (self-celebration), wild delphinium (wild expression) and squash blossom (liberated sensuality).

2. Where do you feel this dynamic in your body? Without thinking about it, point to that place in your body.

Here’s what I recommend:

For a nourishing, yet transformative ritual, look at the key below to see which bouquets correspond to which blends:

KEY: 1. Joy Juice, 2. Infinite Love, 3. Radiant Energy, 4. Inspired Action, 5. Quiet Mind, 6. Inner Peace 7. Wild Abundance, 8. Fierce Compassion, 9. Truthteller, 10. Gamechanger, 11. Full Bloom, 12. Boundless Wisdom, 13. Expansive Presence, 14. Open Heart, 15. Luminous Chi, 16. Inner Knowing, 17. True Strength, 18. Luscious Embodiment

Use the anointing oils from each of your three flower blends in this divine ritual:

As many times as you remember in a day, take a 3-second time-out to nourish yourself with your flower magic.

Apply each of your anointing oils to the place where you experience – or are affected by – each corresponding stressor (that you intuitively pointed to above).

Start with the most intense challenge and work your way to the least intense.

Mindfully, lovingly, intentionally do this ritual several times each day.

Turn toward yourself and your experience – and apply the oils as a soothing antidote.

As you lean into your pain and offer it the softness of flowers, you will likely notice some kind of shift into more ease within 24 hours.

And if you really want to go all out, put all three elixirs in your beverages and mist your entire aura with all three bouquet-blends multiple times each day.

Shower your wounds with flower petals & watch them transform.

Discover more ease in your body.

Experience more peace in your heart.

Free up space all around you for miracles.

Love & flower petals,
Katie
