Sun Flower Essences

Sun

Sun is the powerhouse of our identity, the male, active, Yang principle within our central self. The Sun generates the conditions for life, which is then rhythmically managed by the nurturing, female Moon. The light of the Sun is steady and sustaining, but dangerous to look at. The Sun’s heat gives life, but can also bring aridity.

As the central symbol of our identity, the Sun represents our primary consciousness, our sense of self. It is the ‘I’ that each of knows intimately, the inner self that makes us separate from any other being in this lifetime. In the cauldron of life experience the sense of self may be buffeted and refined, but whether experiencing regret, resentment, joy or confidence, its basic nature remains identifiable and familiar. The primary, generative nature of the Sun means that it also represents the father, a vital component in the formation of the identity of the child.

Sun energies will become unbalanced if they are blocked or shine too strongly. Blockages of Sun energy can result in poor self-esteem, pessimism and depression, sometimes manifested outwardly as domination by the men in our lives. If the Sun shines too strongly, or has no balancing water (emotional) influences, it can wither and burn, expressed perhaps as arrogance and ambition, perhaps as world-weary grimness.

Balanced Sun energy is expressed in generosity and joyful participation in life, an innate knowledge of the abundance of the universe. The self shines and provides light and sustenance for those around us. Our father self awakens the child within, manifested externally by a joyful relationship with children.
