Iris, Iris douglasiana

“Iris is an accomplished writer with twelve books published to date. She also writes a column in a magazine andproduces a weekly e-zine. Writing has always been easy for Iris and it has been her passion ever since she could

remember. But writing these days has become a struggle. Her creativity seems to have dried up. She can’t get theideas and words to flow. She has come to hate the pressure of deadlines. And there are so many other things to bedone that she doesn’t seem to be able to make the time to write. Daily life has drawn all inspiration from her. In fact,life itself doesn’t have the vibrancy that it used too. Life has become dull and mundane and filled with never-ending

daily chores.”

When looked at from above the leaf structure of the Iris creates the shape of a ‘Star of David’ from the Jewishfaith.

Iris flower essence will help us entrainto our own light body energy field and thus re-energize our mental, emotional and physical bodies.
