Thyme is one of my best friends in the plant kingdom. She somehow knows exactly what is needed in all ways when healing and transitions feel a little disorienting or intense. She offers medicine for the physical body that is direct, clear, and unmistakably strong. Her healing energy reaches the heart and the soul on the wings of her aromatic oils that wake one up without error. Her all encompassing embrace and her appearance are both trailing and connected to the ground, but do not mistake that for lack of strength, as her stalks are firm and hold uprightness within that grounded presence.
When you feel “in between” in your life, what simple ritual or plant ally helps you steady yourself? Is there a herb, tea, scent, or household practice that feels like sweeping the threshold for you, clearing old residue so the next step can be taken with intention?
