Nasturtium, Tropaeolum majus

“For months Natasha has buried herself into her studies and now she feels completely exhausted. Her world seemsto close in on her and she doesn’t know how to feel real emotions anymore. Life has become dry, tiresome andboring. Natasha realizes she lives mostly in her head, and she has no idea how to get out of the space she has

created for her self. Her friends tell her to get out and live a little, but she always makes excuses that she has tostudy. The truth is that she doesn’t have the energy, nor does she even know how to go out and let loose any more.She used to be fun loving. She wonders what happened to her and why she can’t enjoy life the way she used to. Shetells herself that maybe after she gets her degree she will have some fun, but right now she has to get back to her

studies. The world out there can wait. In reality she doesn’t feel particularly connected to life anymore.”

In our modern day many find that they work with their intellect more and more. Often we overuse or over extendthe energy of the mind and find ourselves exhausted. The problem is that some people are so used to ‘living in theirhead’ that they don’t know what else to do or how else to feel. This can easily make them narrow minded and shortsighted. Nasturtium flower essence helps us connect to other energies besides the intellect and moves us backinto our feeling body. It aids in transmuting dry intellectualization into warm vitality of feelings. Often when a personstudies too much, or their career demands too much of their intellect, they get cold and disconnected from theirown physical body and the nature of the world surrounding them. This can cause imbalances in metabolism andimmune function. Nasturtium flower essence helps connect us to the bigger picture, revitalizing our intellect withwarmth and feeling. It does this in a very interesting way – by connecting us to the inner chamber of our heart. Inthis place we can find a portal to imagining anything or going anywhere. Nasturtium flower essence works on the lower mental body to integrate and connect the subtle bodies to the 2ndand 3rd Chakras. Even though Nasturtium flower essence releases dry intellect, it can be used to release stagnantenergy anywhere, may it be in the mind, physical body, emotions or spirit. It transmutes and releases negative andstagnant patterns. This release is often subtle as, old patterns seem to just evaporate without our direct knowingmaking us feel that we have woken up to a brand new day filled with energizing vitality.
