St. Johnswort

St. Johnswort: Life Focus

Hypericum stans; Hypericaceae

St. Johnswort helps us sustain a spiritual focus and reinforce the joy of living at every stage of life. The essence helps us transform our wounds into wise ‘medicine’ for the larger community. While our vision rightly changes as we mature, St. Johnswort keeps us linked to the central thread of our stories, preventing us from losing ourselves in external events. In youth, the essence offers protection during our innocent explorations. Through middle years, it supports the development of our body-soul around the axis of our spirit. As our vision ripens in later years, St. Johnswort supports the radiant stream of our love pouring into the world.

Flower color: yellow; Musical term: Leitmotif, a central theme
