Appreciation Essence

Appreciation- acceptance and joy in physical form; enhancing creative expression; noticing and appreciating the creative contributions of others; awakening spiritual beauty within; letting go, moving forward and flowing with life.

Long white buds open into large, delicate papery white flowers that grow upright along the tops of the branches of this expressive and well-balanced tree. Its large leaves point downwards, allowing the flowers to stand out clearly. Some clusters of flowers form interesting patterns of growth and I picked out a definite design of a wonderful heart shaped garland. I was struck by this creative presentation and realised that this, as well as beauty is part of its signature. I was also impressed by the breathtaking spiritual simplicity and wholesomeness conveyed by these flimsy white flowers and found this to be very balancing to head and heart. The flowers tumble over each other in an attempt to gain attention and they seem to say:

'Look at me, aren't I special, aren't I beautiful? You will see that today, I have grown my flowers in a special shape, like a garland, this is how I am today. But wait, look, if I bring another flower out and place it just there, it has changed and become my new creation.'

The message being passed onto the children is that beauty lives within all of us, and that we all have creative talent within us. Whatever we create with heart and soul will have beauty within it even though the basest of materials may be used. What shines through is the degree of love inherent within our creations and it is this that touches the heart. The flimsy nature of the flowers encourages us to be in the continuous act of creation, always being ready to let go and to begin anew. In fact, we are the instruments of creation as well as being creation itself.  We are all one massive act of continuous creation.

Babies, children and teenagers, sometimes find it difficult adjusting to the density of their physical form. This essence will help to keep their form light and encourage joy and pride in it. Teenagers in particular can often feel dissatisfaction with their changing shape and this will assist them to appreciate their individuality and will give the realisation that differences are acceptable and can be beautiful. Children from different ethnic backgrounds often need some help to feel at peace with their form when adopted into a society with very different features and this essence helps any situation where children or young people are unhappy in any way with their physical form. It is also invaluable for those who are handicapped in any way to appreciate themselves.

In my practice I have come across some people who have a battle with their bodies. They acquire ailment after ailment, and never seem to be well. Many have a feeling and knowing that they didn't wish to enter their present life, and a part of them resists being here. They are unappreciative of their physical form and Papery White is a great essence to help them overcome this pattern. I would also blend it with Courtyard Tree to release stuck patterns.

This essence can be used whenever the inner light of beauty has gone out. For instance, I returned from a wonderful holiday abroad to find that on my return, my home area had become dull and uninteresting. After taking this essence I began to take notice of the amazing colours, patterns, shapes, forms and reflections surrounding me and I began to love and appreciate my home surroundings. It can be used for a parent who is not seeing her offspring as beautiful, and for adults who need to see more beauty in their life.

It is sometimes difficult to appreciate others especially those who test us to our limits. It is all too easy to slip into a negative relationship with those who we have close contact with. This essence will assist you to resolve this situation by changing your outlook and helping you to appreciate others. I would have been very thankful for this essence when my own children were teenagers, as it may have helped me to see and appreciate the valiant way that they struggled with life when growing up. It could have been a much more beautiful phase, instead, it worried and depressed me causing untold anxieties.

Appreciation of beauty is within us, it is part of our makeup and I would say it is God given.   We are given the ability through our senses to see, touch, taste, and smell, but beauty, goes beyond this, and our appreciation of it comes from deep within connecting us with God in all things. It is available to rich and poor, sick and healthy and it has a magic.  We can have a small spoonful of it, or a large awesome experience of it. For instance, upon seeing for the first time your own newborn, heart and soul link up in the pure joy of this awesome moment. Yet, a simple flower given by a young child, can make your day bringing a little touch of welcome sweetness.

 Inner beauty shines through outer form beaming out and touching all who are around.
