The Parental Trap Flower Aid Kit
This specially combined Flower Aid Kit is for those who feel trapped by repeated behaviours, habits and approaches inherited from parents or parental figures or guardians.
The Parental Trap Flower Aid Kit contains 3 x 10ml dropper bottles, one each of:
Innocent Soul: 'Love and innocence will always exist because they are everywhere. They are the purest of gifts; gifts that are offered each and every day. Look into the eyes of your inner child. Do you see the love and trust there? Extend the same. I will remind you how to love yourself and, in this, you are always beloved.’
For those who have created the emotionally protective barriers of suspicion and mistrust in order to survive. I also feel this is an important essence in trauma recovery but that it is only to be worked with when the time is right spiritually.
Mother Wound: 'I am for The Put Upon. Do you find yourself caring, supporting and labouring for others, never seeming to have your own life, everyone wanting a little piece of you, never feeling you have time to yourself? I am aligned with those who have lost themselves in the lives of others, feel duty bound to care for all but themselves. I am the medicine of the martyr.'
To completely give yourself to the service of another, putting yourself down the list of priorities, are not the actions of someone who understands a boundary between themselves and others and how incredibly important this is. Mother Wound is useful for those who have grown up with a narcissitic or self centred matriarchal figure, or who have experienced the devastating loss of a mother figure when young and were encouraged or made to be the 'carer' for the family.
Father Wound: 'I am for The People Pleaser. You need not agree to suggestions, plans and responsibilities that you’d rather refuse. Have confidence in saying No. Why do you feel pleasing others is more important than pleasing yourself?'
Helps to show us the reasons behind the behaviours of keeping the peace. You may feel that agreeing or going along with plans and leaving decisions to others is a loving way of making sure everyone is happy, a way to avoid any upset or to seek approval. But Father Wound invites you to explore why you would put your needs and wants secondary and why you need anyone’s approval but your own and that of Spirit.

The channelled words above from the plant spirits offer their medicine of self love, self discovery, self priority and a process of transformational healing.
The order in which you use them can be as you wish - I encourage you to listen to your intution in this sense. If you feel that issues that one specific essence helps support comes to the fore, use this essence at that time. Otherwise, they can be used morning, mid evening and bedtime, separately or combined.
