I wrote about Motherwort several months ago. Motherwort is one of the Plants that I have been working/playing with for my Plant Spirit Healing Apprenticeship. The more time I share with ki, the deeper our relationship grows, and the more I learn. I have always thought that ki is a wonderful and rich Plant with so many gifts. I mentioned earlier that I use the Flower Essence to help with boundaries, to express things that need to be said, to help with Anxiety and bring one back to the center, and to help discern what the real issues are.
Motherwort is a Heart protector. Ki also helps people going through menopause/peri-menopause, among many other gifts.
What Motherwort recently taught me is that ki is a great balancer. Motherwort is particularly helpful to balance assertiveness and softness. So for people who are more demure or tend to put others first, Motherwort can help you stand up for yourself and be strong. For those who tend to be more aggressive or even rigid, Motherwort can help you soften and be more nurturing. (I should mention that since Motherwort is an excellent Heart Plant, ki helps to bring this balance with Heart energy.) To me, this is Motherwort’s most important gift and why I believe ki is so important now.
We all know that our world is changing and our world needs to change. One of the major areas of change is to bring more nurturing, loving energy into our society. For too long, we have lived in a male-dominated, warring, destructive, constrictive society, which has not served anyone: not Nature, not women, not children, and definitely not men.
It is time that the patriarchal paradigm shifts. Motherwort can help facilitate balance by bringing more nurturing and loving energies into the world.
You might ask, How? Well, first of all, for those of you who have space, Plant Motherwort. Now, know that ki is generous in all aspects, so Motherwort does spread. If you can, sit with ki, spend time with ki, dream with Motherwort, love ki. Get to know Motherwort in any way possible. If you are feeling out of balance, call on ki. Motherwort recommended that I infuse Honey with ki. Motherwort is bitter; therefore, the sweetness of the honey will help to add to ki’s balancing effect. Yes, you can take Motherwort Flower Essence, tincture, and tea. Of course, while you spend time with ki, recognize the areas of your life that need balancing.
