ROSEHIPS
-
We are so grateful for rosehips and all her beautiful and magnificent properties.
Rosehip is the fruit of certain species of Roses. She develops after the petals have blossomed and fallen off. Depending on the species of Rose, the Rosehips may be round or oval in shape, and the colors may be a hue of bright orange, red or sometimes purple. She can grow in clusters like holly or elderberry.
The ‘hip’ in Rosehip is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word hiope which means to hope, have hope or confidence in. Perhaps to have confidence in oneself.
One of the many magnificent qualities in Rosehips is that she is rich in bio-flavonoids and arguably one of the richest sources of Vitamin C. Reportedly 60 times more vitamin C than citrus fruit. Vitamin C is vitally necessary for every cell in our bodies.
Rosehips is one of the stars of our Heart & Mind tea blends: “Direction” and “From Surviving to Thriving”.
Rosehips has unique spiritual gifts. Some of the things we have learned from her include:
bringing to light limiting beliefs and blind spots
noticing and letting go of false narratives and stories about the self or others
stand in the light as your full self and don’t hide or minimize your self
unlearning of the false self
relearning of living an honest loving life for the self first and allowing that to expand across all relationships
feeling safe and at peace in yourself
a real coming back to the authentic self
she may whisper: it is all good. Don’t mind the old narratives, they are just passing through and out. Stay centered and smile
she often may reveal what real unconditional love is
She is truly lovely for your meditation practice, for self love, for being in community and honestly many more ways to be discovered by you and unique to you.
We hope you enjoy your time with her.

HAWTHORN

Hawthorn, a true herb of the heart. Both physically and spiritually.
Hawthorn is one of the stars of 3 of our blends: “Coherence”, “Hello Darling” and “Real Love is Truth”.
Hawthorn is one of the inspirations behind the development of the Heart & Mind Herbal collection.
We know from first hand experience that whatever journey you are on, your heart and mind need to be alignment with the life you are creating for yourself before you can see it. Meditation is core to reminding you of who you truly are and what you are creating, especially when your reality is telling you something different. And, herbs are fantastic supporters at helping too.
Hawthorn came to us as being core to our heart and mind collection and formulations. And from there the other herbs made themselves known and the collection came to life.
Hawthorn has a rich history of being beneficial to cardiovascular health.
And we have found that Hawthorn is great at bringing the heart into all things which is aligned for us because we advocate the only true life is a heart-centered life.
Some of the things we have learned from Hawthorn include:
the truth can be bitter sometimes and still loving at the same time because real love is speaking truth from a heart-centered place no matter how it may be received
an authentic life is a heart-centered life
paying attention to the rhythm and cadence of your heart beats
what would it be like to listen and speak from the heart
Hawthorn can be truly instrumental to going from a life based on thinking which is based on the past -to- a life from a heart centered place that is based on true love, the new, the true, the Divine, and so much more.
We hope you enjoy your time with Hawthorn.
PLEASE NOTE THAT HAWTHORN MAY INTERFERE WITH HEART MEDICATIONS.
