Desert Chicory - Rafinesquia neomaxicana

These elegant Wildflowers are white with maroon striping on the outside of each ray Flower. This gives the underside of this aster like Wildflower a dramatic striped appearance, while from above Desert Chicory is pure white. As with Brown Eyed Evening Primrose, Desert Chicory’s focus on the resolution of formative experiences of abuse are indicated by its maroon and white striping.  In the formative buds, the maroon appears to predominate. In the mature Flower, white has carried the day.   This transition from maroon and white to pure white indicates Desert Chicory’s successful integration and healing of the abuse experiences into a full and free Flowering.

All our experiences eventually take us to the experience of our oneness with all life.  This Flower helps us to feel we do not so much have to scrub our painful experiences of abuse from our energy systems to get to this place of oneness as allow things to unfold with an inner confidence that healing will prevail.  Not only does Desert Chicory give us a vibrational model for confidence in the outcome, it helps us relax into letting things unfold.  One wound from traumatic experience is the impulse to “push the river” and try to orchestrate every piece of our own healing.  This Essence helps us know we are not the only healing element in our journey but that everything that is supports our healing and moves us towards an integrated experience of our oneness with all life.

I AM relaxed in the healing flow of my life.
