Borage

Quality: strengthening, balancing, grounding and uplifting.

Disharmony: feeling ungrounded, heavy, burdened, too much in the mind, too rigid, weak.

This is a strengthening plant. It aligns the energies running along the spinal column. It strengthens the nervous system. It is cooling to the system. It is a plant of balance.
The plant itself is strong with a thick hairy stem and largish leaves with hairs on underside. Yet the flowers are the lovliest sky blue held in clusters pointing towards the earth and very beautiful. The flowers are like twinkling stars and bring heaven to earth in this plant.

Use this essence when you become overly concerned with the details of ordinary life to uplift and open the spiritual aspect.
Also for those who are not earthed and grounded in the present but live either in the future or the past or out of their bodies.
It is also good to use when convalescing.

Affirmation: I am growing stronger and finding a new balance within myself.

Self Help: If you are feeling too much in your mind, or light headed and not really grounded, then take a class of physical exercise to put you in touch with your body, or go for a country walk.  If you are feeling too heavy and engrossed in the physical world, then seek to read uplifting books (see book list)  and magazines, or visit uplifting places.
