While living in North Carolina each fall I would anticipate the emergence of Closed Gentian aka Blue Bottle Gentian. Its flowering at the end of the season is feels like a timely reminder to not give up. For those who dread the short days, colder air and the falling leaves the blue sky colored flowers can be a gift.
Fall is a distinct transition month we move from the warmth of summer through the fluctuations of autumn into winter. As the outer landscape changes, trees drop their leaves and plants begin to yellow the change becomes undeniable. And it’s not uncommon for mild depression, doubt and related feelings of unease to crop up in this transition. So if you find yourself feeling extra melancholy or reminiscing this is normal. I’ve witnessed this type of response with clients over the years.
An inquiry I hold in all seasons is does the plant world offer clues to remedy the human condition? Looking at the support this essence offers maybe the flowers are offering clues?
Closed Gentian flower essence helps us let go of past burdens and see our options in a clear light. This helps us to access our core essence beyond fear and doubt and open to the mystery of what is possible.
Use this flower essence to treat doubt and discouragement. It is good for those afraid to take risks and venture into the unknown. When using this essence confidence develops as doubt subsides and resistance softens.
Upon taking Closed Gentian flower essence you will feel an initial lightening. As if the sky blue color of the flower encourages you to lengthen towards heavens. Renewal accompanies this opening. And, you may start to feel more is possible along with a growing sense of confidence and ease.
Working with this essence can help you move from feeling weighed down to feeling willing to try. This makes it great for Autumn and holiday season melancholy. Closed Gentian flower essence can help you gather your energy to re-engage with world. It combines well with Bluebell flower essence, which was the feature of last month’s blog.
This flower essence is about hope. And, as we enter the end of the year this can restore that soul energy quality to keep you buoyant as you navigate any discouragements. The Closed Gentian flower essence is found in the River Kit.
Wishing you a sweet November.

Coyote Mint flower essence was one of the first flower essences I co-created. I've been working with this for 2 decades. It is also a key component in the Protection Blend, Protection Spray and Protection Sleep.
