Divine Sanctuary

Crassula argentea - Jade and Portulaca grandiflora - Sun Jewel

Problem: Financial hardship, inability to manage resources, unsafe in situation

Solution: Recovery from poverty and financial hardship, ability to manage resources in harsh conditions, creates sanctuary within self and home, safe to receive

This essence was made during our second One Garden workshop in the same place where we made Golden Chalice. These two essences - Golden Chalice and Divine Sanctuary have similar qualities relating to wealth management.

At first I thought it was the jade that we would be using but when I tuned in I could feel the close relationship between the jade and it partner sun jewel. They made a striking couple of magenta and lush emerald green - Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine working together.

The jade is a hero in the feng shui family. Many people have jade at their front door to usher in wealth, good luck and fortune. The sun jewel was one of those new plants I had never seen before. It is a hardy, no fuss abundant flower hailing from desert environment. It manages its resources well and needs little attention. However, with its shameless magenta boldness it is hardly a flower one can miss and be intrigued by. In the centre is a deep gold colour with a star shaped stamen.

Immediately I felt it was an essence to recover from hardship, the lushness and colour celebrate the healing at the heart centre. Magenta not only symbolises the feminine but also for spiritual courage. The message during its making was "struggle is unnecessary, all is given in our Divine Right as children of Divine Mother". One of our students recounted her experience of seeing a golden paved roadway.

This is the basis of our new blend Divine Space.
