Hibiscus

Positive Qualities: Warmth and responsiveness in female sexuality; integration of soul warmth and bodily passion

Patterns of Imbalance: Inability to connect with one’s female sexuality; lack of warmth and vitality, often due to prior exploitation or abuse

Definition: One of the most tragic assaults to the soul dignity of women is the exploitation and commercialization of female sexuality. This deeply wounds the souls of many women so that they no longer feel a warm connection to their sexuality. Often the sexuality is divorced from deeper feelings of love and warmth which come from the heart. In many cases sexual expression becomes cold and unresponsive, because the Soul can no longer contact this part of the Self and infuse it with love and caring. Hibiscus essence helps women to reclaim their sexuality, and to restore these soul forces with vitality and authenticity. It can aid many women who have been sexually traumatized, and is also generally beneficial for all modern women who have unconsciously absorbed media images and other stereotypes of dehumanized sexuality. This remedy is sometimes also indicated for men who need to develop a stronger relationship to feminine warmth and positive sexuality. Hibiscus creates flowing warmth throughout the body and soul, especially healing the sexuality.
