Lychnis flos-cuculi

Purification

Ragged robin loves to grow in damp places. The roots contain saponins that were used as a soap substitute. In the language of flowers ragged robin is a symbol of ardour and ‘keeping your wits about you’.

As a flower essence, it helps to purify the blockages within your subtle energy channels that cause friction and an irregular flow of life force. Suppressed emotions, fixed ideas and rigid thinking all contribute to creating obstacles that impede your energy flow. These may become harmful and give rise to weakness in one or more of the subtle bodies, thereby affecting general health and wellbeing.

Detoxification and purification are fundamental therapies used in traditional holistic mind-body healing systems. Self-discipline – in some form and to some degree – is an important part of spiritual practice, characterised by the longing to free yourself from habitual patterns and desires that may be in control in a variety of ways in your life. However, it is important to maintain balance and not swing to the opposite pole by adopting the mindset that rejects pleasurable or worldly things as bad for the soul.

Ragged robin flower essence may help to remove the obstacles that cloud your perception of what is good for you and what is not, so that you can consciously choose what you eliminate, absorb, and transmit in your life with the highest respect for the sanctity of your mind-body’s integrity and wholeness. Then, choices that affirm the soul’s attributes are strengthened and embodied.
