Promotes: • openness to new experiences, people & perceptual shifts • healthy questioning of traditional standards & beliefs Indicated For: • heart closed due to expectations or prejudices which have been taught, not personally experienced This flowering tree grows beside fresh water creeks, billabongs & swamps in the Northern Territory. The healing quality of the Essence is to release & heal mental prejudice, allowing the heart to open without prejudgement. The prejudice of Slender Rice Flower stems from direct personal experience whereas Freshwater Mangrove is for those who mentally reject or have already made up their mind about something without it ever being experienced. Often the seeds of this prejudice have been sown for a long time. In many cases it is generational, as in the case of countries where religious prejudice is passed on & accepted by the young without question. Many prejudices are built because of cultural or societal belief that something cannot be done. This Essence has the potential to allow us to fully experience & be open on both a mental & heart level to new perceptual shifts & all the changes occurring at this time.
