Bloom and Blossom:
Star of Bethlehem is a deeply restorative flower, with calm, soothing properties for people who have experienced shock or trauma. It is particularly helpful for individuals who have never adequately addressed a disturbance from the past. Such persons often seek to anesthetize this trauma in inappropriate ways, such as through drugs or a numbing of awareness. There is a longing and seeking for a part of the Spiritual Self which seems inaccessible. The nervous system often becomes deadened, and the mental faculties are lacking in vibrancy and coherency. In some essential way, the personality is out of alignment with its higher components and is stymied from full and vibrant functioning. Star of Bethlehem helps bring about this much-needed psychic and spiritual adjustment, although other therapeutic and counseling measures are often necessary to help the individual fully access the trauma and its causes. The color that represents Star of Bethlehem is white.
The positive qualities of Star of Bethlehem are: Unity with deepest part of the Self; and sense of inner divinity and wholeness. |
