Erica cinerea
Confidence
Bell heather grows happily in harsh habitats including heathland and acidic soils. While delicate in appearance, it is hardy and symbolises consistency and persistence. By standing firmly grounded and focusing on the positive aspects of a situation, you can mobilise your inner forces to persevere, and find the confidence to keep moving forward.
The stress of being dislodged from your secure standpoint, and the anxiety of not knowing what is coming, can lead to fear of losing control over the outcome of a situation. As a consequence, common sense may be suppressed, judgement impaired and you are left feeling exposed, defenceless and helpless.
Bell Heather essence may help to let go of anxiety, turmoil and fear of the unknown. You can admit and endure change, knowing that everything in life and in nature is constantly changing and growing.
When you realise and calmly embrace the knowing that everything in life is in constant change, you will be able to overcome any adversity through faith and trust in yourself. By focusing on the positive aspects of a situation, you adapt and come to terms with change, and thereby manage difficult situations more effectively. When you confidently remain in the not-knowing present moment, you are released from the pressure of needing everything to be all right, right now.
Have faith and trust in yourself. Release doubt and fear. Stay firmly grounded, flexible and confident.
