White Trumpet Lily

Positive Qualities: Inner purity of soul, especially the ability to integrate sexuality and spirituality

Patterns of Imbalance: Feeling that sexuality is impure, unclean; inner conflicts about sexuality

Definition: The white lily has long been a symbol of purity, as well as sexuality and child-bearing. It is extremely challenging for the soul to integrate the sexual life with the spiritual life. For good reason, many spiritual paths require celibacy as a condition of spiritual development. It is possible, however, for modern souls to reconcile these seeming polarities; in fact, new and important soul capacities will emerge as a result. Easter Lily is an important remedy to help those individuals who feel a great inner tension between their sexuality and spirituality. These conflicts can be in either direction — towards promiscuity which degrades and damages the astral body, or towards prudishness which severs the soul from the life forces of the lower body. It is an especially important remedy for women, and can help when there are impurities and disturbances in the sexual and reproductive organs. The most fundamental gift of the Easter Lily is to enable the soul to fully utilize the psychic energy currents which are associated with the sexual and reproductive organs.
