About this Event
Join Michelle of @fireandbloom for this plant healing & self care circle at Steadfast Supply. Each month we will drink tea and self heal. Special guests will be featured throughout the series.
The event will begin with introductions around the circle and the serving of Bobinsana & Rose Tea. Next, we will collectively experience a plant spirit & heart opening meditation, led by Michelle. This meditation will involve listening to shamanic drumming as drums are associated with the heart. (Did you know that drums mimic the heartbeat of your mother when you were in her womb?) We will then subtly explore all 5 channels of awareness and the fundamentals of Somatic Therapy. Mind, Imagination, Emotions, Body Postures, and Body Sensations. We will shift our awareness from the mind, into the body, and into the heart space. After the meditation, everyone will be given a chance to reflect and intergrate- so feel free to bring a journal.
*If you would like to bring an item to add to the altar you are welcome to do so.
Bobinsana (Calliandra angustifolia) is a vibrant and enchanting plant native to the Amazon rainforest. Its delicate pink flowers and lush green foliage captivate all who encounter its beauty. But Bobinsana is more than just a visual delight; it holds a potent energy that can work wonders for the heart and soul.
One of the most renowned attributes of Bobinsana is its ability to open the heart chakra, allowing love and compassion to flow freely. As the heart expands, emotional barriers dissolve, and deep emotional healing takes place. Bobinsana gently releases past traumas, pain, and emotional blockages, enabling individuals to experience profound transformation and inner peace.
Bobinsana’s energetic properties are said to elevate the spirit and instill a sense of joy, positivity, and overall well-being. Its essence resonates with the higher frequencies of love and happiness, making it an ideal ally for those seeking to uplift their energetic vibrations and invite more positivity into their lives.
Indigenous communities have long recognized the spiritual essence of Bobinsana. They believe that the plant holds its own spirit, and working with it fosters a deep connection to the natural world and the spiritual realms. Many use Bobinsana in shamanic ceremonies, rituals, and healing practices to access profound states of consciousness and commune with plant spirits.
A beautiful and soulful ally for our physical health and well-being, Rose is one of the most ancient and revered plant allies known to humans. Across spiritual traditions, religions, myths, lore, and even tarot, the rose has held a special place of honor.
As you envision how the rose may assist and support the healing process, consider some of the symbolic meanings of the rose, many of them are likely familiar to you already.
Rose is often associated with:
- Love and romance
- Beauty
- Passion
- Devotion
- Sensuality
And Rose Medicine operates on our physical, emotional, spiritual, and energetic bodies with profound depth.
Using Rose as a tea, in tinctures, syrups, healing skin balms, and even as aromatherapy can provide us with a beautiful, soulful medicine for our physical health and well-being.
On the physical level:
Rose is such a blessing. It is safe to use and won't harm anyone. In fact, it is often used to treat babies in everything from digestive upset to pink eye, to diaper rash. Rose is an astringent herb and can draw out from or shrinks tissue which helps to create a protective barrier. It’s helpful for fevers, excessive menstruation, or postpartum bleeding and can be used to treat a sore throat, infected sores or cuts, and even sun rash.
Rose is extremely nutritive, high in Vitamin C, and contains a lot of iron that is readily available in terms of absorption. Rose is an aphrodisiac, calms the nerves, and is anti-inflammatory and cooling (which is why it’s often used for skin conditions). Rose can even help heal wounds.
On the spiritual & energetic level:
Rose is a heart opener and a protector. An ally for self-love and compassion, Rose supports us to honor ourselves and reminds us of the healing that nature’s beauty and our own inner beauty can provide to us.
Rose supports the resilience of the heart and promotes courage in love and romantic relationships, particularly after a broken heart or romantic loss, and is often used as an ally for people who have had sexual trauma or womb injury.
Perhaps some of the most important lessons Rose teaches us are around discernment, boundaries, protection and that softness and strength can co-exist.
