definition
Blue Camas (Camassia quamash)
Therapeutic theme: for acceptance and objectivity; balances the intuitive and the rational; unifies the right and left brain
Signature: Light to deep blue-violet, star shaped flowers growing 1 - 20 inches in height. The star has long been a symbol of the union of Spirit and Matter. In this regard the ability to access both inner knowing through the right brain and logic and rationality through the left brain is an important aspect of full human potential.
West Coast Indians pit roasted the bulbs and also boiled them to make syrup. It was a major source of food for some of the Plains tribes.
Blue Camas is for the really creative person who tends to be a little impractical and for the down-to-earth practical person who is unable to access intuition. When we are unable to fully utilize both hemispheres of the brain it is like trying to fly with only one wing. In order to live fully we need to feel able to move effortlessly between logic and intuition.
The Solar Plexus chakra stores memory from previous incarnations. It is the seat of the ego and personal identity in this life. So a person may hold an unconscious memory of being burned at the stake for using inner wisdom in a previous life and choose in this life to be an IBM executive. The residual primal fear stored in the third chakra/Solar Plexus prevents them from feeling comfortable with intuition. Blue Camas does not necessarily release the fear, but it does prevent it from interfering with access to the whole brain. For instance, it allows the IBM executive to be a watercolour painter after work.
At a physical level this remedy works well with dyslexia and other learning disabilities, including the inability to learn from experience.
