Pua Kala has many layers to her gnosis. First, we see her thorns - a field of protection that repels the people and situations that distract us from the sense of belonging that accompanies our True Path. This True Path not only includes the unfolding of our present and future moments, but also our past. Pua Kala's roots run deep, and she can reconnect us with our ancestors, and where we come from. "Gratitude gets us past the thorns," she says.

Behind her thorny exterior, Pua Kala's petals are soft and delicate. These beautiful gauzy flowers are a reminder to be mindful of what you let into your sphere. Certain energies can be too rough with us, drain our energy, or steal our focus away from what is truly important for us as individuals. Know when it is time to let people and things in, and know when it is time to commune with the Self… there is sweetness and intimacy in your own personal story. Adopting this attitude can allow you to receive inspiration that is in alignment with your Higher Path. ("You always have the bees," she says.)

Past the thorns, there is rest and pollen. As her blossoms rock and sway in the breeze on long stalks, it becomes evident that Pua Kala wants us to move at a pace that is sustainable for us, instead of trying to move according to our ego’s timeline of how we think things should go. In doing this, we must surrender some of our desire to control things. ("Don't force it.") When we move calmly and with deliberate intention, we can more easily access Spiral Time. This pace also helps us to hear the voices of our Higher Self, our ancestors, and access other layers of intuition and inspiration that guide us on our personal path. There is a lot of divine wisdom to be found in this space. When our motions are too abrupt, it can cause us to topple over and "spill".

Be present with What Is instead of overly identifying with your emotions about things you perceive to be true. Identifying and acknowledging your emotions is a healthy thing, but allowing yourself to stagnate in the story of your feelings is also a drain and distraction from your Higher Path and sense of belonging.

Pua Kala's roots run deep, reminding you that you do belong, even when it doesn't seem like it. Because you always belong, it is not necessary to create space for or move toward things that pull you out of alignment in order to synthesize the sensation of superficial belonging. Busying yourself with people and things that are not aligned with your Higher Path and roots only distracts you from your sense of Belonging… From the ways you truly Belong, in your natural, relaxed, and whole state of being.

On Flower Essences

Flower Essences are a vibrational medicine that are created through communion with the flowering part of a plant, where its vital energy is being focused. After connecting with the plant, the most pristine blossoms are solar infused into volcanic spring water from the island of Hawai'i, and then preserved with locally made "Hawaiian Honeyshine".

Flower Essences contain no chemical constituents from the plant, but they hold a lot of power, and are primarily used for shifting one's perception of their reality in a gentle and effective way. Because of this, Flower Essences are an excellent way to work with plants that are considered poisonous or toxic to humans.
