For the essence practitioner, flowers and trees are all deeply imbued with energy, and each variety has its own unique personality. Even those who are not as attuned to plant energies, though, are well-acquainted with the personality of the rose. Roses have long been steeped in symbolism, and their legendary connection with love and beauty goes back at least as far as Greek mythology. As Anne McIntyre explains in her book Flower Power: “According to Greek myth, the goddess of flowers, Chloris, one day found the body of a beautiful nymph and asked the help of the Three Graces to create a very special flower out of the lifeless body of the nymph. The Graces gave the flower joy, brightness and charm. Then she asked Aphrodite the goddess of love to give the flower beauty, Dionysus the god of wine to add a special nectar to create a beautiful perfume, and Zephyr the wind god to blow away the clouds so that the precious flower could open her petals to the sun. Thus the rose was born and was crowned the Queen of Flowers, the emblem of Venus, and the symbol of love.” Unsurprisingly, rose essences are associated with the heart chakra, and can be used to strengthen one’s sense of self-love, openness, and personal safety. Ava uses rose essences in our Heart Open Wide, Heart Mender, Spring Meadow, and Strength in Hardship blends. We also have several types of rose essences still under research.
