Asplenium bulbiferum

I offer you the mantle of passion.
Through me you possess
everything and seek nothing.
Discovering courage, beauty
and a brave heart – allies on your journey.                                                        

 

 

The new year brings us opportunities to make changes in our lives. If we make resolutions to overcome what we see as inner weaknesses but by February our resolve is starting to fade then this is the time to work with No.70 Hen and Chickens Fern. This essence aligns with the Strength key in the Tarot, in which we see Mother Nature standing in full control over the previously untamed beast within.

This is the essence for courage, bravery, staying strong and aligned to our higher selves. We restore the passion for life and are able to emanate inner strength, insight and love. Hen and Chickens Fern allows us to overcome our animal instincts and to transmute the power of negative intense emotions for our highest good.

Indications for Hen and Chicken Fern include:

  • Having no passion for life
  • Suffering from a sense of weakness, failure or disgrace, letting ourselves down
  • Being overtaken by personal desires, giving in to our lower nature
  • Being quick to anger, having intense emotions, throwing tantrums if our needs are not met immediately
  • Wanting to break a habit, stick to a diet or quit smoking
  • When we need the courage of our convictions

Rengarenga Lily
I bring the gift of creative experience.

Through me you pit yourself against life;

Seeing the backdrop of events as opportunities

for the perpetual unfolding

and expression of self.                                                                                                               



Rengarenga Lily is an attractive and versatile plant with soft and drooping leaves.  From this seemingly ordinary backdrop of green come long stems in summer that produce masses of graceful white flowers.
The ordinary and mundane aspects of life can appear to be just like a backdrop to your own rich inner world.  It is No.14 Rengarenga Lily that helps bring forth imaginative and creative expression into your life.  It is particularly useful for those highly creative individuals

  
Indications that Rengarenga Lily  is called for in the life, include times when:
•    there is unexpressed creativity with unique creative gifts not bought to fruition
•    you might avoiding the present by retreating into one’s own inner world
•    you might be stuck thinking that ’it’ could have been bigger and better
•    there is stress or anxiety relating to self-expression and creativity

When working with the essence of Rengarenga Lily, we find that it:
•    allows you to express from your powerful creative centre
•    allows you to express with panache and style
•    opens you up to seeing and exploring creative possibilities
•    creates moments of positive uninhibited enjoyment and pleasure


Flower Essence No.14 Rengarenga Lily can also work to bring balance for those who constantly need to be in the centre of attention, often by over-dramatising everything.  For those always seeking admiration or who exhibit childish or exhibitionist type behaviour or when there is a childlike need for constant validation, attention or admiration.  No.14 Rengarenga Lily transforms this negative expression of the personality into creative talents or abilities to inspire or benefit others.

Rengarenga Lily helps bring joy back into your life by supporting the full and creative expression of a healthy ego.  By bringing forth the artistic and creative potential from your powerful creative centre, life becomes joy filled and a dynamic expression of positive creative tension.
