Drinking Beautiful Water

““Water, the Hub of Life. Water is its mater and matrix, mother and medium. Water is the most extraordinary substance! Practically all its properties are anomolous, which enabled life to use it as building material for its machinery. Life is water dancing to the tune of solids.” ~ Albert Szent-Gyorgyi”

Hydrating…Enlivening…Refreshing…Healing…Inspiring…Honoring…Connecting

I made a discovery a few years back, and that was something that combined my love of art, health and gardening all together in a most amazing way. And something so simple yet so divine. The making and drinking of what I call, Beautiful Water.

How to make your own Beautiful Water

Making beautiful water is easy, it is cultivating the componants that can be the work! But even that need not be difficult. I make it a point of growing mostly edible flowers in my garden, so that they can be put into my water, salads, teas and healing essences. I use only organic soils and fertilizers. Here is what I used for this pitcher of Beautiful water:

1. A GLASS PITCHER IS IDEAL- I love to be able to see the water, and the flowers and plants form beautiful patterns and colors.

2. USE FRESH SPRING OR FILTERED OR WELL WATER- Clean good water is preferred, but use what you have, and the water will be uplifted.

3. GATHER YOUR PLANTS AND FLOWER WHEN FRESH- I use fresh flowers and leaves, not wilted. For the water pictured above I used a mix of Pansies, Dianthus, Mint, Lemon Balm, Petunia, Nasturtium flowers and leaves and Rose petals.

The Mysterious Magical Pansy- Face the world, Share your beauty, build your immune system!

If you strive to be pure of heart and mind and are ready to face the world and share your many gifts, beauty and wisdom in a deeply satisfying way that contributes a legacy of love, then you and I are kindred spirits. Pansy can assist us to accomplish this with grace.

I am passionate about flowers

Flowers are my beloveds. I have a kinship with them that is deep. I care for those in my garden with joy and gratitude. They are part of my family. Because of this, there are always components to my work that includes Flowers. They appear in my art, in my poetry and in my healing and consulting work. I hope you enjoy learning about Pansy. I keep many growing all through the winter, and I love them in my salads, use them for medicine and flower essences and for their wisdom. ENJOY

 “I take my gathering basket to the garden and ask the Pansy plants if I may have a few choice flowers for my daily salad. They always graciously say yes. The Flower Fairy offers her greeting. I find the whole experience Simply Enchanting, and the salad delicious !”- Rhianne

“Poetry is a mystic, sensuous mathematics of fire, smoke-stacks, waffles, pansies, people, and purple sunsets.” Carl Sandburg

“Pansy flower remedy is an immune builder drawing out from within the individual the purest quality of heart and mind. Pansy flower essence helps us to “face” the world by strengthening our courage to share our beauty. Pansy flower essence also clears negative thoughts and opens the heart chakra. ”

— Isha Lerner-Power of Flowers

What if we had an ally who could help us to achieve our intention to find this purity and courage with a simply enchanted elegance that was easy and graceful? What if we could let go of working so HARD to be clear of negative thoughts and have our heart chakras open wide, activating deep healing in our immune systems and clearing disorders we have carried for decades, or eons? I have asked myself these questions many times, and now, the magical world of enchantment, the Deva's and inner guides, are providing answers that have been right in front of us all along.

According to the ancients, and many well known and reputable healers, we can call upon the Pansy to be a support for us in enhancing and healing our hearts and as a result, our lives. Life Herself, provides so many wonderful remedies for our human “conditions”. Yet, in our current modern age, we often overlook or underestimate the amazing gifts that the pretty posies growing lushly in our home gardens have to offer.  But now, the wise Mother of Life within each of us, is calling us back to the Simply Enchanted world of heart wisdom, and a big part of that world, is Nature. And a wondrous part of Nature, is the flowers and plants.

Healing benefits and therapeutic uses of Pansy Flower

Here is some additional information about Pansy Flowers. They are so easy to grow, so lovely, and have so many uses. I get organic flowers or if that is not available, buy from a reputable nursery and allow the plants to blossom a few times, and then I use the flowers.

PANSY IS A GREAT SOURCE OF RUTIN, WHICH STRENGTHENS CAPILLARY WALLS. Taking 100 milligrams daily of rutin can mitigate the effects of varicose and spider veins. The best way to get your rutin is from pansy flowers instead of a pill. Just five of the fabulously edible flowers a day (try sprinkling them overtop of your salads) supplies that helpful dose, and the synergistic effects you get from eating a whole food provide much greater potential benefit than an isolated extract.
