Calla Lily

Positive Qualities: Clarity about sexual identity, sexual self-acceptance; balance of masculine and feminine qualities

Patterns of Imbalance: Confusion, ambivalence about sexual identity or gender

Definition: The beautiful Calla Lily helps those souls who are deeply troubled by their sexual gender. Many times such people have a strong, though usually unconscious, memory of dwelling in the spiritual world where sexual gender is not divided between male and female, but is a perfectly balanced androgynous state. It is therefore very difficult for such individuals to feel at home on Earth. In some instances requiring Calla Lily, the soul may have favored one gender over the other in a series of lifetimes, which now must be balanced for further evolution. At other times, individuals may have been born into a karmic situation in which the parents strongly preferred a particular gender, or where the person does not fit into social conventions about sexuality. These mixed messages about sexual identity cause great confusion and anguish. Calla Lily helps the soul to bring about its right orientation to sexuality, and at a higher level, to integrate the qualities of male and female in a harmonious expression. Calla Lily teaches that masculine and feminine are soul qualities which can be united within the individual, rather than simply external, physical or biological traits. In this way the personality evolves toward greater balance and harmonious soul expression.
