LIGHT THE EMBER {fire}
Light the Ember when you need to bring Fire into your life. When you need light to find your way out of the dark. When your heart needs strength and support to keep your inner fire burning strong. If you can’t seem to push through a difficult time and need the fire to burn it to the ground. When self esteem is low and you are ready to feel passion, drive, purpose and force. When days are short and nights are long and you need your inner sun to brighten things in life. Allow Light the Ember herbal infusion to help you embrace the Fire and bring in these blessings.

Teaching Herbalism Through Tea Craft
Intentional moment with Fire:
When I need to bring Fire within and spark my inner light, I reach to the Sun. A life giver to our existence. I reach my hand to the sky, facing the sun. I then allow the sun’s rays to shoot between my fingers and see that it is holding my hand. I soak up this bonding moment. I then open my heart to bring the bright light in and soak up with warmth. Feel my inner light spark, and turn up the flame. Look at the color of my inner light and see it in all its beauty. Another exercise is to light a candle or fire and watch it burn. See fire, remember our ancient relationship when it brought us out of darkness. See it for all its power and recognize that I, too, contain fire. I am 98.6 degrees at all times. My fire burns. We are kin.
I chose the herbs for Light the Ember for the following reasons: Damiana is a light bringer. Not only does it light a fire in one’s libido, but it also lightens up darkness or sadness. I call upon Damiana quite often when I’m feeling down for an extended period of time. Hawthorn leaf is a heart tonic like no other and it was invited to simultaneously bring heart nourishing and emotional support. Rosehips come from the heart supportive Rose plant. Rosehips are a little “warmer” than the petals so they were chosen particularly for this blend. Rose has long been noted as a caretaker of broken hearts. Stinging Nettle is a force. Not only can it take care of itself quite well, it can take care of others like nothing I’ve ever seen. This plant has heart. It will zap you and stop you in your tracks if you don’t take notice of it and has much to teach us about self esteem. Orange has long been noted for its ability to lift our moods while ginger root warms us to the core. Turmeric root knows how to warm us while not allowing the fire to burn too hot and turn to inflammation; it knows all about the right kind of light. Rosemary is a plant wisdom keeper bringing energy and circulation while cayenne stokes our inner fire like few else.
