LATIN: Armeria martima

DID YOU KNOW:

To say the least, you are a mental giant. You think a lot--maybe too much. Your mind is sharp, curious, quick to jump and make up your mind about something. You do very well in academic surroundings. And you're good at memorizing things. Able to learn in classroom situations, you are a "book learner" type. Verbal by nature, you can communicate well in speaking as well as writing. Your world consists of using logic and rationalization. A prove-it-to-me kind of person.

THE HEALTHY YOU:

You're a gut-hunch kind of person whether you realize it or not. A lot of your decisions are based upon primal instinct which may or may not even tweak you consciously. However, you're a wonderful amalgam of rational mind (left brain) and right brain (instincts and intuition) IF you want to be. If you are truly in balance, you become very "whole-brained", utilizing both hemispheres of your brain to a very high degree. Not only can you know the answer to an Algebra problem before doing the math on it, you can also do the math to prove how you know the answer! That's a pretty neat trick!

THE UNHEALTHY YOU:

Insomnia can dog your heels because you are the one that gets the "gerbil running on the wheel" at night, and you can't shut off your thoughts. They just keep rolling along even though you'd like some sleep! You can get dogged, stuck and very stiff-necked about your belief system. Worse, you will be arrogant about it and you're right and the rest of the world is wrong. It's "my way or no way...." kind of blinders-on attitude. The old saying: You are cut off from the neck down, implies that you allow your logic and rational to rule you and you suppress your emotions--not a good thing in the long run!

Sea Pink is Child's Play by Eileen Nauman

Sea Pink is a small flower, about four inches high. It sits on a round, green stem and on top is a 'burst' of light pink blossoms--like a dandelion--a round head of flowers. In a flower garden, the sea pink are small but eye catching because they have this incredible energy and bouancy around them that just makes it irresistible to go over and touch or smell. So, small but mighty!

From a broken heart standpoint for a child, Sea Pink infuses the broken heart with new life, and helps to reclaim the old child-like joy about life. This essence is about reclaiming our child-like innocence before we were traumatized by a love that is lost to us. It allows us to wake up and feel positive about the day, instead of morose. This essence simply won't allow one to sit around and stew, torment one's self or focus in on the negatives. For a burst of joy about living, and all the beauty of each minute, hour and day, Sea Pink should be considered.
