Hyacinth Flower Essence

Hyacinth is deeply mystical, and supports us in opening up to a more transpersonal ground of identity and being.

If only you could see yourself through the eyes of the divine. Hyacinth helps you to. Just like you cannot help but succumb to its intoxicating scent, become lost in its divine essence— all of nature conspires to reflect back to you your divinity, to help you to integrate it, to slowly be able to witness and embody it. It helps you remember this mystical, expansive sense of self, which recognizes itself in the beauty and uniqueness of flowers, in the magnitude of a sunset, and in the depth and mystery of the ocean. When we gaze at the moon, she gazes back; hyacinth helps us remember that these gazes are not separate.

Hyacinth supports us in deepening into our own mystical nature—allowing it to unfurl and radiate outward in ways unique to us, just like Hyacinth’s own captivating, otherworldly scent that can be smelt from some feet away. In doing so, it serves as a bridge-being between the fields of oneness and individuality. It helps us to gently lose aspects of the ego’s identification that keep us feeling separate, small, and unworthy, as we re-member ourselves as expressions of source, of the divine. 

In doing so, hyacinth provides gentle emotional cleansing and ego dissolution to bring us into deeper embodiment of our purity, our authentic nature. In this way, Hyacinth can be a great aid in mirror work, particularly if one’s “mirror” has become distorted or smudged. It helps us to see and experience ourselves as children of the divine, and to remember that nothing can alter this fundamental truth. It can soften and break down layers of emotional shock and distortions to allow room for mystical insight, communication with the divine, and expansion beyond the self that ultimately transforms our understanding of who we are.

It strengthens our capacity to see ourselves as unique and irreplaceable manifestations of the divine— as expressions of that ultimate, ineffable whole. It holds us and reminds us, “There is only one of you, and you are Absolutely Precious.” In this way, Hyacinth can be very supportive for people who feel that they do not have anything to contribute to life, or for those questioning their value or worth on a fundamental level. Hyacinth supports us in cultivating a sense of trust that we are held in and part of a greater unfolding.

Hyacinth can therefore help us experience a sense of purpose, even if abstract. It helps us to stand tall in our dignity, not out of pride, but out of the embodiment of self-love: God’s love for you, through you, as you. In helping us to recognize our divinity, it also supports us in seeing it reflected back all around us, especially through nature; it has this sense of mystical interconnectivity. It reminds us that we remember our true nature with support— in collaboration with all of creation. This essence helps us to remember that and to let that support in, taking us deep into the essence of creation/life: its collaborative nature, and our place within it. 

Hyacinth helps us to see and experience our place in creation, of creation, and as creation. Thus, it can be especially good for those seeking a more mystical relationship with their art or creative practice. But this expansive, transpersonal sense of identity that Hyacinth supports us in experiencing can touch and transform any area of life. The ways in which it can help “spiritualize” your relationship with life will be unique to you and your path.
