Trumpet Vine

Positive Qualities: Articulate and colorful in verbal expression; active, dynamic projection of oneself in social situations

Patterns of Imbalance: Lack of vitality or soul force in expression; inability to be assertive or to speak clearly, impediments in speech

Definition: The capacity for human speech — to ensoul sound with thought and feeling — is one of the most extraordinary of human gifts. Yet for many souls, the ability to use the word as a creative force is stymied. Trumpet Vine flower essence is indicated for speech which tends to be mechanical, dull, or constricted, and can be very helpful for various speech impediments such as stuttering. It does not directly address fear or nervousness, but is nevertheless beneficial for many people who curtail their expression due to feelings of intimidation or shyness. With the help of Trumpet Vine, the soul is able to contact life energy residing in the lower chakras and to integrate these vital forces with the spoken word. Awareness and interest is brought to the expression itself, rather than focusing on the perception or judgment of others. Trumpet Vine awakens the warm and colorful feeling life of the soul, helping these qualities flow into the human speech. As the soul learns to project and express itself, it grows in its creative capacity to share its unique essence with others, and with the world.
