When I was preparing this essence, I sat for a little while in the garden just enjoying the sunshine. And then Lavender spoke to my heart and the gentleness of her spirit and energy took me to a place of light. So much love and kindness. 
 
Not all Lavender has the same energy as this essence - each plant is different. The energy in this organic flower essence came as a result of listening to Lavender. I was guided to harvest the first appearance of the first flower, just as the lavender hued tips were appearing and not when it was in full flower. That is a different energy. This first flower bud was so innocent, delicate and pure and this is honoured in this essence. I hope you get a sense of this energy from the photograph here and on the label. (Each label has a photograph of the very flower the essence was crafted from - there are no stock photos here.)
 
When we are so weary of struggling, we have to surrender because there is no other way forward. We often see this in rescued animals who have suffered immeasurably; there is struggle at their capture and then there is a period of surrender when there is nothing else that can be done. Often this is a time when an animal goes into shock in a rescue centre, purely because it knows it is a place that will allow it breathing space. The animal is not yet ready to trust the human rescuer - this does not happen overnight either for them or us - but it is in a place of gentle surrender where the struggle is over.
 
The struggle does not change things and so when we trust, we return to a state of innocence, of hope, of faith. In this world it can be hard to find gentleness, and if we have not experienced much of this in our life, especially as children, then the world can feel tough and something to be endured not enjoyed. Surrender can feel quite challenging; it is a big emotion to feel that Spirit loves us no matter what our lives have been and this can be a little overwhelming for some. Such is the nature of unconditional love. The Divine Goddess aligned with this essence is an ever loving, ever present Mother but we must not forget that She is us and we are Her. We must also begin to trust ourselves; trust that we have the capacity to love ourselves too. For those who have struggled and suffered, it is time for you to be gently held.
 
Sweet Surrender is a wonderful essence to use as a companion to other essences, specifically those that are intended to support us through deep difficulties including Rat Race, Letting Go, Mother Wound, Father Wound and Heart Broken.
