ocotillo (Fouquieria splendens) flower essence is supportive to those needing assistance with calming emotional fires, uncontrollable anger and rage, and those battling fire imbalances that result in various addictions, including alcoholism. ocotillo reconnects us with the fire of the heart and opens the heart to connect with higher consciousness and spiritual forces that uplift, inspire, increase vitality. ocotillo increases our response-ability and lowers our reactivity, so that we can consciously address the root of our emotional flares and expand beyond volatility into emotional maturity.

two months ago, i celebrated four years on my sobriety journey, and every day since has been a vivid reminder of not only why i started but why i must keep going …

not because i’m holding myself to a standard of perfection but because i’ve seen what’s possible when i embrace reality and stop abandoning it for the fantasy of escapism.

because there was never really any escaping. there was running in circles, aimless and wandering. but i was always still just right here.

time is no time at all.
