In a time when we face seemingly unsurmountable challenges, the plants are here to show us the way. They are our ancestors, guiding always, even in the moments when we feel most lost. When we open ourselves to their wisdom, they will help us to see a good path forward.
In an era of increasingly severe climate chaos and global unrest, Spanish Broom is one of my favorite essences for remaining grounded in strength and optimism. This essence embodies the oft quoted phrase — we are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
In moments when we feel unequipped to respond to the urgency and immensity of the world’s many problems, Spanish Broom reminds us that we were made for these times. It helps us to remain focused and strategic while quieting the voices of doubt that would have us simply give up.
Spanish Broom is also a great essence for navigating new chapters in our personal lives that push us to become the next version of ourselves. It helps us to draw upon our inner courage and gravitas and to do what must be done, even when we feel unsure of ourselves.
This essence instills courage, fortitude, and resilience in the times when we need it most. When we feel unequal to the task at hand, Spanish Broom offers us the opportunity to "rise to the occasion." It helps us move beyond a limited or negative view of the Self in order to perceive our true gifts, so that they might be put to use for the greater good of all.
