Nootka Rose (Rosa nutkana)
Therapeutic theme: expressing love of life, laughter, and joy
Signature: Pale pink flowers growing on a thorny shrub. The gentle smell of roses permeates the forests where they grow. The rose hips are a good natural source of vitamin C and may also be used to make jams and jellies.
Native Indians of the West coast used to bury their dead with Nootka Rose to ensure a safe and happy journey into the next life.
Nootka Rose is the embodiment of Spirit. It centres us in the Heart chakra, promotes laughter and joy, and dissolves bitterness and resentment.
This is a spiritual remedy. It is a reminder that the life of the soul does not begin with physical birth, nor end with physical death. It is the remedy to take when the thorns of life experience are too sharp. It allows us to embrace life even when we have sustained major trauma to the physical, emotional, or mental. It is an excellent remedy for those who have experienced 'spiritual crisis' abuse, abandonment, psychic, emotional, or physical assault. It helps to reintegrate the psyche after such assault and can heal fragmentation even years after the experience. Even if the cause is self abuse, as in the use of recreational drugs or alcohol, the effects are the same. It is for all those experiences where the Soul does not feel safe in the physical vehicle. Emotionally it balances the Heart Protector to make way for love in the heart itself.
