LATIN: Oenothera caespitosa

GOOD FOR: Toxicity cleanser essence. A general cleanser for all chakras on all levels of ourselves. For mental negativity and pessimism.

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!

COMMENTS:

I have my eye on three White Evening Primrose plants that grow 'wild' next door. Every year I watch them come up from the sand and then wait for the lovely white blossoms to appear so I can make our yearly white primrose essence. I walked over to them today and I see their buds are out. In another 2-3 days, they'll have these huge,white papery blossoms and it will be time.

When they are done blooming, I'm going to transplant them over to our place. I have three "holes" ready for them. Last year I was whining to the Cosmos that I had to hunt high and low for wild yellow primrose....they must have heard me (squeaking wheels get greased) because I have three huge, new yellow primrose living in the rock wall Dave made a year ago. I was so thrilled to see them and their pretty yellow flowers there! :-)

Wild, White Evening Primrose. You can get an idea of the harsh conditions of the desert that it lives in. This is a general cleanser for the person and their aura.

The primrose family is so very valuable for cleansing purposes on all points of ourselves--physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Primroses get rid of poisons/toxicity. For instance, people with "toxic thoughts"--they are down on themselves, low self-esteem, they can't do this or that, or they feel like losers, etc., then Yellow Evening Primrose is a wonderful asset to them. The Evening Primrose flower essences are on par with Bach's Crab Apple essence.
