Nicotiana: Sweet Attractions

Nicotiana alata; Solanaceae. Flowering Tobacco

Nicotiana fosters our attraction to the genuine sweetness of life by drawing us away from habitual, numbing comforts. It stimulates our natural instincts and desires and opens us to life’s true pleasures. Nicotiana motivates growth without attachment to addictive substances or habitual experiences. In times of withdrawal, when we may judge ourselves as a failure or view our lives as hopelessly overwhelming, it gently prods us to start again.
