The flower essence of the San Luis Obispo Mariposa Lily which is endemic to San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, ranging from the Santa Lucia Mountains to the front country of the Sierra Madre Ridge. This fragile lily is found in grassland, chaparral, woodland, and low elevation forest ecosystems in sandy and granitic soils.
 
In all cultures the image of the Divine Mother presents itself as a sacred ideal. Most families generations ago lost touch with the mature Mother archetype. Who of us had the perfect childhood, or is not challenged as a mother in raising her children in the stress and high pace of modern life? 
 
Mariposa Lily works on the trauma of the innocent child’s heart aching to be held in the embrace of unconditional love and warmth, feeling loved, cared and protected by the parents and caregivers. If you do not have this inner soul security, you unconsciously – and usually unsuccessfully – seek to fill this gap in all our relationships throughout life. Further, the anger and bitterness due to the sense of abandonment or lack can trigger many forms of hostile and destructive behaviors, because we deny the force of love which we ourselves did not adequately receive and don’t believe is possible or we deserve it.
 
The essence of Mariposa Lily works within your soul consciousness to heal what it means to be mothered or to be a mother. 
 
Caution: it is highly recommended to process childhood trauma with a skillful and trained practitioner or psychologist to make sure you process and release what comes to your awareness.
