This beautiful essence speaks of warm summer days, quiet joyfulness, peaceful productivity, ripeness. It makes my heart radiate and bathes my whole body in a soft, warm glow. There is a feeling of fullness and fecundity that's more than just about reproductive function; it's about the fullness of creative endeavors, ability, potential realized, the quiet glow of success.

That's because this essence is about completion of cycles, coming full circle and completing a stage of development or a big experience. It engenders a sense of satisfaction, accomplishment, fruition of plans long laid and perhaps long delayed.

It says that in the fullness of completion lie the seeds of creation. Rose hips embody this truth, as they contain everything needed for the next generation. Rose hips thus bless any creative endeavor, any partnership (such as between horse and rider).

Recently, I had occasion to learn that this essence is also a great choice for animals in the process of dying, and for the people who love them. It brings a sense of calmness to what can be a very distressing time for all. This essence reminds us of the rightness and the alrightness of this natural transition we all will make.

At the other end of the life-death spectrum, Rose hip also supports female reproductive health. It is a great essence for breeders, particularly those dealing with female reproductive problems. And it's a wonderful essence for spayed females, as it helps them feel whole, complete again. No doubt males will benefit from the motherly, wise-womanly vibe of this essence, too.

And for all of us, Rose hip enables us to blossom, to reach the fullness of our potential and purpose.
