Red Poppy | (Papaver argemone) | Firethorn | (Pyracantha atalantioides) |
Holly Leaf | (Ilex aquifolium) | ||
Red Poppy enables us to build up our reserves of energy. Some people are so frightened of the potentially destructive power of anger that they live their lives at half-power, frightened to come out into the open. Red Poppy helps to bring up our energy levels in a controlled manner.
Firethorn is there to stabilise our energies so that we are able to express ourselves clearly, and if necessary forcefully, without overreaction.
Holly Leaf is for frustration. When we are frustrated our anger turns inward and we become defensively prickly. Holly Leaf helps to protect us so that we do not rise to the bait so easily, and so we avoid over-reaction.
Overall, this essence encourages us to live our lives more fully as we become more able to take control of our emotional reactions to the situations we meet.
