Weigela (Weigela florida)
Therapeutic theme: helps to integrate experiences on the physical and emotional planes
Signature: Cascades of pink bell shaped flowers grow on a bush 5 - 7 feet tall. The edges of the bells become 5 petals which look like an open jaw. The flowers are androgynous in appearance.
When we trust that we are always in the right place at the right time our experiences eventually "make sense". Weigela helps us to realize what we are getting out of any given experience. We can then use this data for further growth by choosing to discard the pattern or alter it in some way. Weigela affects both physical and emotional patterns. For instance, we may hold a posture of being quite timid and shy, and as a result experience misunderstanding and isolation in social interaction. As we become willing to see ourselves as the source of our pain we can begin to alter the underlying patterns and thereby change the response of others to us. This is not a manipulative stance, but rather one of personal response-ability and empowerment.
It allows us to see others as our teachers and mirrors which reflect back to us our own negative, and positive, energy patterns.
The essence enters via the Throat and supports freedom of self-expression. It nourishes the Wood element and supports our ability to grow, even when conditions seem adverse.
This is a useful remedy to take at times of 'accidents' and all seemingly unexpected physical and emotional traumas.
