Chicory

(Cichorium intybus)

Chicory grows on sandy or rocky soils, especially on roadsides. It can reach 1 meter high. Its bright blue star-shaped flowers open only when the sun touches them, particularly in the morning, from July to September.

Chicory promotes genuine unconditional love and it helps you get rid of the expectations you placed on others.

Essence Effect on the Body: Chicory essence is recommended when our possessiveness or tendency to protect others is externalized on the physical level as self-pity, envy, etc. This essence helps us in terms of energy to recognize the spiritual background of these problems and to treat them, what can lead to an improvement on the body level.

Mood: Those in lack of this flower essence often find themselves wanting to do something for other people but there is neither gratitude nor recognition. Finally, the person tries to calm his longing for affection through disappointment, tears, self-pity, simulating an illness or being emotional. In these cases, Chicory essence helps us to develop a healthy self-love so that we stop seeking love from other people.

Mind: Chicory essence encourages us to think "independently". Our thoughts are no longer conditioned to the hope of finding affection in others, but find love and affection inside ourselves. This essence has great results when used by those working in health care or doing social work. Problems become less important and the person is able to do something for themselves admitting they admit their thoughts and desires and he learns to love.

Spirit: This essence opens the chest and the heart to a superior sensitivity capacity. A strong self-assured feeling grows within ourselves that shows us the real unconditional love. We are able to offer our protection to others without being overwhelming. This essence also contributes to reaffirm the ties that form the narrow symbiotic relationship between mother and son. There is a balance between giving and receiving. We understand that love cannot be bought and that we have to respect the freedom and individuality of others in order to keep their love.

Affirmation: I give you complete freedom so that each one of us can develop their personal life plan. I freely give selfless love and I accept what I receive in turn.
