Restoring Hope and Faith: Prickly Pear Flower Essence

A “Flower Essence Friday” feature on one of the flower essences from the Great Lakes Sacred Essences collection.

Prickly Pear flower essence can help when you’ve lost hope or lost faith, when you feel defeated and helpless. Feeling dried up, sad to one’s core, or tired of trying calls for use of this essence. Such feelings can happen after you’ve been rejected, or encounter the “same old” problem yet again, or receive bad news, such as a diagnosis of a serious condition.


A low-growing cactus, Prickly Pear ranges from Massachusetts through southwestern Ontario, west to Minnesota and south to Oklahoma and Florida. It was a blessing and a sustainer to earlier cultures.An abundant source of watery, tasty desert food, its fruit is revered by many to this day. Its beautiful yellow flower is waxy and tough; and anyone who has experienced the spines of a cactus can appreciate Prickly Pear’s protective nature.


Prickly Pear flower essence reconnects one’s spiritual body with Spiritual intelligence, a source of support and guidance. It aligns the chakras, releasing discordant energies. One can resonate with a stronger spiritual perspective.

Optimism and faith are restored!
