Nurtured – Neglected
“Lavender warms the heart and steadies the emotions through promoting awareness of the need to nurture oneself while travelling on the river of life”. – Robbie Zeck
Lavender honours the higher spiritual realms and weaves its fragrant, mauve magic through a spiral dance between chakras.
Many of us are always looking after the needs and requirements of everyone else, and excluding our own emotional care and wellbeing, this is where Lavender is your support.
Where there has been self-neglect and lack of self-care wearing away the health and energy of your body, Lavender brings nourishment and heartening reassurance.
Affirmation: I caringly nourish and nurture myself.
