Yellow Pond-Lily (Nuphar polysepalum)
Therapeutic theme: floating free of emotions and attachments; feeling strong and secure in my path; blesses relationships
Signature: Fragrant, yellow, waxy, cup-shaped flowers float on the
surface of the water. Each is connected to its roots maybe 5 metres below in the water by a thick, fleshy stem. The centre of each flower is like a 3 dimensional mandala. Each flower is surrounded by heart-shaped leaves which also emerge from the rhizome on long stalks and float on the surface of the water.
This remedy helps us to work with the heart subtly. It allows us to float free of emotional attachments with grace and ease, while fostering a secure sense of self.
Yellow Pond Lily reminds me of these lines from Tagore,"The centre is still and silent in the heart of an eternal dance of circles'. The flower feels like a protective womb in which to make contact with the sacred self beyond the cacophony and pull of the emotional realm.
Through the Bladder channel we are granted the ability to see things anew and to release emotional patterns, so that we are able to move forward fearlessly and without being 'at the mercy' of our feelings.
It's connection with the Throat chakra allows us to express ourselves purely and without artifice.
Yellow Pond-Lily helps us to centre, to perceive differently, and to act on our new information.
