The Northern Green Orchid is a rare, terrestrial orchid only found in Iceland, Greenland and Akimiski Island. A powerful antidote for feeling invisible, it helps us treasure our own unique qualities when we feel our presence is not making an impact, or that our words are not penetrating. When we surround ourselves with people who don’t understand our potential, we may start to feel insignificant. Northern Green Orchid teaches us how to seek out environments that support the depth of who we are as spiritual beings.

The Monteverde Rein Orchid is a terrestrial orchid that uproots subconscious fears of persecution, fear or panic. When we perceive ourselves as alone, weak or vulnerable, we get amped up into fight or flight mode.

We can be like water and roll with the punches. Being fluid and flexible helps us experience more ease in everyday life.

One tiny little Johnny Jump Up popped up by itself one year in the backyard of our building. Knowing that flowers grow exactly when & where they’re needed, I jumped into action and made an essence of it. This pansy-like wildflower dissolves unworthiness, playing small and reluctance. When we have limited thinking, hide behind routines, and expect the very least, it magnifies our capacity to be more OUTRAGEOUS!

World peace begins with inner peace. Whether we’re conscious of it or not - our happiness makes other people happy!⁠ When we tap into our wisdom & grow, we inspire others to do the same.⁠ It’s a beautiful, energetically contagious phenomenon.

An interesting phenomenon happened this week that I’d love to share.

The Coralroot Orchid grows at over 8500 feet in the high-elevation forest of Flagstaff, Arizona.
