Blue Vervain flower essence is for the “selfless”, the often unseen activists and organizers, the better-future-dreamers who are birthing a new world through their big heart, endless labor, and deep care but are perhaps losing themselves along the way. The ones who find it hard to rest when facing the bigness of the ache in the world. The ones who have forgotten that their selves, too, deserve rest, to be held, supported, and seen. Those of us who feel called to commit much of our life force to the collective can often find ourselves riding waves of intensity that in turn creates tension in our bodies. We labor and produce teeny flowers with big energy shooting up and out. But how much more do we have to give before we can rest? Or can feel like we are “good enough”? Does the goalpost keep moving? Maybe we think we have to do it alone. Maybe we are pushing past our own limits because we never had a chance to find them and listen in the first place. Maybe the demands of late/ end stage capitalism are poking us in the back, pushing us forward when we are desperate for rest.
Blue Vervain, with their out-stretched limbs and deep root system ask us to pause, move that buzzy energy down through our bodies, down into the generative energy of soil full of the complex, webbed and threaded mycelium network where each strand is a part of the whole. They remind us we can (and must) trust that others are doing what’s needed, a web of action and care, so each can rest when necessary.
What if the markers of success are actually about who is the best at listening to the subtle calls for rest so we are ready to begin again?
This is a 1oz dosage bottle meant for personal use. Available as alcohol-based or alcohol-free.
