We have a new park in our neighborhood and it’s a deliberately family friendly one! There are lots of fun playground structures, two mini community library boxes people have been filling with picture and story books, a basketball court, and two large playing fields. The whole neighborhood adopted it right away and we love walking there at the end of the day so we can see happy friendly people, their kids, and their pets engaged in happy activities. There are also newly planted trees and shrubs and I was completely delighted when, earlier in the spring, Baby Blue Eyes spontaneously appeared underneath them where they were being watered.
What a great christening for the new park! As a flower essence, Baby Blue Eyes helps people recapture the trust and innocence of their youth. In particular, it helps heal childhood wounding related to fathers or father figures—and this park is filled with young fathers playing with their kids! Baby Blue Eyes helps a person dare to be vulnerable in relationships again if they have experienced trauma where that trust was betrayed. It helps a person feel like they are worthy of love and support so they can open to what the universe has to offer, ready to drink up and believe again that the world can be a supportive, healthy, benign place.
That doesn’t mean that you’ll lose your adult perspective and start acting in a naive, overly trusting way! Sometimes when people try to heal themselves from early experiences that left them mistrustful of people, they try to force themselves to be more trusting by jumping over their inner qualms. (I can tell you from experience that this is a bad idea!) So, no, that is not what to expect with Baby Blue Eyes flower essence! What it actually does is help you from being stuck in either polarity: not blind trust that leaves you open to deception and possible abuse; and not cut off, hardened to life, all alone, and unable to trust. The healthy state is one of being able to see the goodness in people and who and what can support you in life, and still trust your inner guidance and discernment to keep you safe.

And as a matter of trust, I want you to know that Baby Blue Eyes flowers are actually a bit smaller than shown here. The blossoms are typically smaller than 1.5 inches and they rarely grow larger than 10 inches tall. I added the baby to the flower bed in Photoshop to illustrate the concept but not the reality.

Flower essences are used to assist with mind-body-spirit interactions and individual results may vary. They are extremely dilute which makes them quite safe. But because so little physical substance can be detected in a flower essence solution, these products are presumed to work on an energetic or vibrational level—something that cannot be adequately tested by western scientific methods. Claims made by me, therefore, are based on personal experiences and the evidence of the combined multiple decades of case notes by Dr. Edward Bach as well as Healing Herbs and Flower Essence Services (the companies who make the ingredients I use in my products). This is not, however, accepted medical evidence or substantiated scientific evidence from a modern allopathic point of view. I am not a medical doctor or licensed healthcare practitioner.
