Vanity
Our personal process of becoming can be easily thwarted by doubt. The origins of self-doubt run deep, perhaps for generations, and usually stem from another person or persons negative beliefs about themselves that once upon a time were projected onto us and incorporated into our own identity. Perhaps it is true, then, that often self-doubt is wrapped up in and emboldened by what we believe others believe about us. Either we let these beliefs sink in or we rage against them, but at some point in time vanity pervasively sinks in and we become unable to do anything but get in our own way.

In early spring, our medicine gardens and the surrounding forest are close to being absolutely covered with them. These tiny flowers are not big and showy like other spring blooms, yet when comfortable in their own environment replicate themselves into a sea of beauty unparalleled in the early spring season. Our Spring Beauty (Claytonia virginica) flower essence is for those who are overly concerned with the opinions of others to the point of self-depreciation or self-disgust. It will support you in seeing your true, unabridged self.

Ingredients: Alcohol (brandy), flower essence.
