Cosmos Flower Essence

Cosmos flowers are native to the Americas, and their beauty captured the attention of early newcomers from abroad who promptly began to grow cosmos flowers in their gardens. Cosmos flowers seemed to be especially popular among missionaries to the New World from Spain, which may mean that the missionaries found spiritual solace or divine inspiration in the flowers.  

Indications

Heaviness in the body and spirit, stagnation, lack of motivation, dwelling on past mistakes or failures; feeling weighed down by the past, afraid to let loose, or spiritually empty or lost. 

Emotional and spiritual effects

In our experience with the flowers and with the essence, cosmos is about expansion well beyond what we thought was possible. The essence provides an incredible feeling of lightness along with movement and flexibility, as if we were floating in the air playing with the wind. We suddenly know there are many possibilities for us, many ways to solve our problems or approach the future. We begin to focus on the future and on the plans and changes we can make. We get a feeling of infinite options and know that creative solutions will just keep presenting themselves to us when we need them. The essence helps us to release tendencies toward excessive planning or preparation, and instead allow ourselves to flow through time with abandon.

There is also the side of cosmos that is about faith and spirituality. Many people find cosmos renews their faith or steers them toward believing and trusting in God. Cosmos reminds us to trust in divine guidance and protection.
