Parahebe
Flower Essence
Definition:
For women (not men) who are
busy, busy, busy, fussing around,
cannot settle down.
Fear of being still, and of being with themselves.
Very low self-esteem. To assist in trusting oneself
enough to settle down and allow oneself to catch up.
For House Balancing (Feng Shui):
To calm down a “restless” energy.
This essence calms down a “busy busy busy” type of
energy, like there is always something going on, where
the energy of the house never feels peaceful and tranquil.
Made New Year's Day, 1998, (a gloriously hot, sunny day)
from a small bush near the back door of my (rented) house
in Buchanan Street, Wadestown, Wellington.
The Parahebe is a lovely little New Zealand native bush,
with dark green leaves and beautiful white flowers.
I feel a real affinity for this essence, probably because
the definition describes exactly how my mother often behaves,
as do many women of her generation.
I also love the energy of the plant, the delicate white flowers
and dark green leaves. Unfortunately, when I looked for the
plant a year later, it had disappeared: it must have died in
the winter of 1998.
There is another Parahebe essence in the New Millennium range,
made at Ohau, near Levin, in February 2000. This Parahebe essence
is totally different from the Wadestown version. The
Ohau Parahebe
is for co-dependence.
