(Ferocactus schwarzii)
Ferocactus schwarzíi is native of the wetlands of the virgin forest in the Sierra Madre massif on the west coast of Mexico. It grows there together with mosses, lichens and dwarf orchids populating rock crevices and the inaccessible overhangs of the river gorges. Its yellow flowers of 4cm in diameter appear approximately when the plant has 12 years of life.
Self-Esteem Cactus essence reinforces our self-confidence while it reinvigorates our defensive capacity on the energy level. Besides, it encourages the group conscience in the sense of joint forces and sympathy for all the living things around us.
Essence Effect on the Body: The essence awakens and strengthens our defensive ability on the energy level which results in the benefit of the whole body. It also helps detoxify the body energy and for this reason, it can be a good complement to fasting cures. This essence can also be incorporated into massage oils or into bathing water.
Mood: The indestructible force that this cactus emanates can also be perceived in its essence. We will receive a stimulus that will push us to overcome the feelings of weakness (helplessness, hopelessness) to bring our inner forces into light. We will gain confidence in ourselves; will be able to trust in others and in life and, finally, we will have enough self-confidence so that we can do as we please. In this aspect, the feeling of union to the group plays a crucial role that will be stimulated by this essence.
Mind: This essence will allow us to consider ourselves more positively. We will face our projects with a new mental strength, while we develop a spiritual readiness to become involved in group tasks and to enjoy the spiritual exchange within the group. People of solitary habits can greatly benefit from this essence.
Spirit: This essence introduces a sense of spiritual growth in our lives. Through the newly acquired inner affirmation, we will be strong enough to "merge" with others in group processes. Our irradiation is expanded and we will be able to feel a strong union with the others.
Affirmation: I know who I am and what I can give to the others. I give freedom to "myself" that I had so repressed and I open myself to life and people. I accept my virtues and my weaknesses.
