VIBURNUM (Viburnum tinus)
Key: Reassurance
Viburnum tinus is native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean. It is a large evergreen shrub or small tree with waxy, white clusters of sweet smelling flowers that appear as long lived clusters in autumn and over winter into springtime, depending on the weather conditions.
The main code of this essence is emotional peace, the flow of peace and an easy communication of feelings. Viburnum helps to find practical ways to establish one’s place and feel supported. There is the growth of a balanced assertiveness and an integration and expression of one’s own sense of peace and how the world is perceived. This results from a strengthening of the Governing meridian, which dictates the quality of support an individual feels, and the Gall Bladder meridian in its aspect of encouraging humility.
Mental activity and individual belief systems are integrated in order to deepen levels of perception and real peace. Inner conflicts will tend to be understood and eased.
At a much finer level, where we initiate the tendencies to act in certain ways, there is a healing of deep trauma. The energy of viburnum is able to initiate extremely deep levels of healing and will help to re-integrate fragmentation caused by near-death experiences and life threatening situations.
Working with the causal and mental bodies viburnum eases any sense of vulnerability, sensitivity, neuroses, feelings of being unhappy or unsettled.
Reassurance and the re-evaluation of past experiences in the light of a broader, more positive outlook is encouraged.
From the underlying connecting energy of all consciousness, there comes a communication from the heart of things.
Signature: The subtle, sweet smelling flowers during winter.
Comment: Viburnum tinus is one of the many viburnums to find a place in parks and gardens. Tinus is the most common of the winter flowering varieties. Like many ornamental species, its particular energy signature is so ubiquitous that it plays a significant stabilising role in the urban environments into which it has been introduced.
