Medicine Bag - Flower of the Week   - Nov. 16th 2006

 

 

FLOWER OF THE WEEK - GENTIAN.   

 

 

Gentian is the first beautiful flower that lit up when Flower of the Week was mentioned. I have been taking it alone for two weeks. Dr. Bach while alive recommended no more than 7 remedies in a bottle - however, he is clear that the fewer the better and is guiding me towards no more than three remedies to be taken at one time.

 

Gentian is the Flower of Trust - it is the medicine that holds within it the Divine Purpose - no matter what we are experiencing. It holds the knowledge that every thing that comes into our life has a purpose, even if it is painful. Gentian does not forget that all is in Divine Order. Therefore, if we have moments of discouragement or downheartedness this is the little friend from Nature that has the Divine Imprint of Trust within its body. It keeps us focused on the Big Picture. When I think of Gentian I always think of doubting Thomas in the story of Yeshua - Thomas needed to see the wounds of Yeshua to truly know that he had risen from the dead. Gentian helps us to receive the message from our wounding - while not loosing hope - it helps us to keep on keeping on. When in doubt take Gentian .
