COASTAL BARRENS
Metal element
Lungs / Large Intestine
Boundaries, breath, protective energy, skin layer, air exchange, order, justice, sadness, grief, contraction, purification
Barrens and coastal areas are exposed lands with rocky, thin soils, stunted vegetation, salt air and treeless, heathlands. This area corresponds to the action of the lungs, the skin barrier and Wei Qi in the body - our protective, defense energy in relation to the external environment. The Lungs are the organ associated with sadness and grief, the capacity for release and exchange, and the ability to uphold and communicate values without becoming too brittle or rigid. The plants found here are hearty, often with succulent-like leaves and tough barrier layers, managing the relationship between dry ground and moist, salt air conditions.
The subtle vibrational remedies listed below were made by floating
the blossom of the flower in spring water, under direct sunlight, exposed to the elements of their respective natural ecosystems over a 3 hour period. Each remedy was subsequently preserved with brandy and further diluted for use. Stock bottle ingredients include:
Newfoundland spring
water, brandy, the unique vibrational flower essence of each plant.
The flower essence comes in a 15ml (1/2oz) glass bottle with glass dropper, at stock bottle potency.
Suggested use:
2-4
drops in a glass of water or directly on/under the tongue, taken up to
4x per day for one month; 7-20 drops in bath water; 7 drops in 1-6 oz
spray bottle for misting into the atmosphere.
