Plants to help you leave your old self behind and anchor in the new
Herbs can do so much more for us than help us heal physically. There emotional, mental but also spiritual effects are just incredible. It's like they are just waiting for us to ask them to help us.with whatever we need support with. But why? How can they assist us in areas like subconscious reprogramming? How can they support us just by us connecting with their energy?
The magic lies in the last word: Energy. Like all living organisms plants have an energetic field as well. There is a reason why we feel happy when we see flowers or calm when we are in the woods. Each plant emits a specific frequency. A frequency we pick up on and are influenced by. Which is why just holding a teabag that contains real chamomile for example can already be soothing without us even consuming the tea. The cool thing now is that we don't even need to be in close proximity to a plant for it to support us. That can also happen by tuning into the plants energetic field. Hence they can support us whenever wherever. But that's another topic for another time.
When we make the decision to change our life we get confronted with changing our habits, our behaviours, our coping mechanisms, all of it. After all we can't expect change by repeating the very things that created the reality we live in now. Change can only happen if we change and yet that is the most difficult part. We are so used to our ways, where we are at is our comfort zone even if it's not where we want to be. We cling to old patterns and habits, find ourselves repeating the same cycles because they are what we know and what give us a false sense of safety. It can be super challenging to break those behaviours, thinking patterns, etc. without help, at least it is for me and that is where the plants come in. They are here to guide us, to support us and to hold our hands in times of need. All we have to do is connect with them, work with them, ask for their help. It's that simple.
How? By inviting them in as consultants. Viewing them as advisors. Talking to them. Asking them for their guidance. I like to sit down, state where I am at and what I need help/support with and then ask what plants want to come forth to assist me. It works anytime. When you feel called to use a specific essential oil, feel drawn to a specific tea over and over again or get mesmerized by one specific herb in your herbal garden it's the plant spirit reaching out to you, wanting to be there for you, knowing they can help you in your current situation. So tune into them. Connect with their energy by simply sitting with them. Write down anything that comes to mind as it is most likely the plant speaking to you. Consume their tea. Take a bath with them. Carry them on your body, in your pocket, amulet, etc. Use their essential oil (find the link to my favorite brand at the end of this post). Let them guide you. And whenever you feel overwhelmed or have a setback use them, turn to them, ask them for help. They will come through for you. Now on to 4 plants that will help you make the necessary life changes in order to align with your highest timeline.
BERGAMOT: TRANSITION IN EASE
If you are currently reprogramming your subconscious this is the plant to enhance the process. Here to remind you of your vision when you fall off track. Helping you see clearly, stay devoted to yourself and the life you want to live. Helping you see the bright side and staying on your path even when it gets tough.
Change isn’t supposed to be simple, growing pain is real, saying goodbye to the old comes with internal struggles however with Bergamot by your side giving up is not an option. You’ll be lovingly reminded that it is all worth it, to keep going and that you are closer than ever before.
Bergamot helps lift the heaviness that can come with change, so we continue with a bright spirit and eager mindset.
JASMINE: REMEMBER YOUR INNER POWER
Helps us remember our divine feminine power. Jasmine is strongly rooted in her feminine, unapologetically living her truth, fearless in her delivery and helps us with exactly that. She is here to give us permission to step into our power free from all fear and judgement. Beautifully guiding us to live in tune with our true nature, our core, our soul. Reconnecting us to who we truly are. Awakening our inherent truth so we can step into who we are meant to be.
A plant that heals feminine core wounds. Working with her can be uncomfortable in the beginning as she brings our shadows to light inviting us to look at feminine traumas from this lifetime, a past one or those which were passed on generationally. After all there is a reason why so many people can't stand the smell of Jasmine. As it is a very triggering plant that brings up that which is uncomfortable so we can heal, grow and expand.
Male counterpart: Pine or Juniper
BLACK SPRUCE: STRENGTHEN SELF BELIEF & SELF TRUST
Guiding us back to trusting ourselves, strengthen our self belief and our confidence. All of which create are the base for creating our dream realities. It takes self belief to change, to keep going and not give up which is exactly where the plant spirit of black spruce is so so supportive. When it all gets chaotic black spruce is the rock keeping you calm, collected and confident in yourself no matter what.
I remember the first time I encountered Black Spruce. I couldn't stand it. Couldn't stand the smell. Couldn't handle its energy. Why? Because at the time I didn't believe in myself, didn't trust myself, was very insecure so my confidence was almost non existent. Hence we were no vibrational match at all. Black Spruce fully overwhelmed me like a wave you don't see coming and drags you under making you loose your sense of orientation. It's frequency was too much for me. So I slowly started incorporating it into my life. I used it's essential oil daily, not only did I like it better and better but I also started trusting myself more and felt my confidence rebuild ever so slowly. It now is one of my absolute favourite essential oils, one I use frequently especially when self doubt kicks in, to protect my energy and to stand strongly rooted within myself when things get chaotic and stressful.
No one will come to safe us however Black Spruce can always be counted on to be by our side, to be the one to lean on, to be our rock.
ROYAL HAWAIIAN SANDALWOOD: ANCHOR IN THE NEW
A plant spirit that helps us stay on track. It reminds us of our goals and dreams. Of why we want to change in the first place. This plant is holding our hand, lovingly yet firmly guiding us through the process of anchoring in the new and leaving the old behind once and for all. Helping us choose the new, helping us be the version of ourselves it takes to get to the life we dream about, the reality we want to create. It reminds us to have patience with ourselves, be gracious yet stay committed and determined. A plant spirit to lean on when we feel like giving in to our old habits, falling back into our old behaviours. One that helps in establishing new habits, new thinking patterns, reprogramming our subconscious mind, anchoring in the new.
Keeping us grounded. Keeping us connected to our purpose. Connected to that inner fire that is crackling with willpower and dedication. A loyal friend. A personal motivator. Grounded, calm, firm, distinct.
HOW TO USE THEM
As stated above tuning in to their energy, asking them for help can be enough. However here is 2 other favourite ways of mine to incorporate them on a deeper level.
Carrying the essential oil or the dried plant with you. Not only will the plant spirits energy enhance yours but also whenever you see the bottle, feel the dried plant in your pocket you can take a moment and observe where your minds at, whether you are running on an old program, to simply realign immediately.
Set a scent anchor. Smell the plant either by rubbing the fresh plant in your hands (possible with Bergamot or Jasmine), smell the dried plant or the easiest option would be to smell the its essential oil. When you smell the plant connect it with an affirmation like "I fully believe in myself and trust that I can do anything I set my mind to". Repeat that a couple of times. That way a new neurological pathway forms and your brain connects the smell with the affirmation. Whenever you smell the scent you will remember the affirmation. That is especially useful when you want to implement new beliefs. Whenever a limiting belief pops up that you want to exchange for a supportive one take out your scent to anchor the new in.
