80 – Sacrifice

Holy Cross Orchid (Epidendrum-radicans)
Keywords: Self Betrayal and Boundaries

Sacrificing oneself is not an honourable badge of martyrdom. Love doesn’t require us to give up our power or be taken advantage of. This botanical carries a powerful message, proudly standing against this dangerous misconception. Take a moment to reflect on how sacrifice may be affecting your self-love and self-worth. Are there any feelings of shame that erode your boundaries or lead you to compromise them? This botanical urges you to reevaluate the motivations that drive you, so that sacrifice no longer becomes a part of your being. Love is nourishing and uplifting, not depleting. Embrace your worth and set healthy boundaries that honour and protect your well-being.
