ABOUT THE CYCLAMEN
The cyclamen has been connected to loss in a number of ways.
It has been used in connection to:
• the concept of a deep, lasting love
• empathy (it was planted in churchyards in the mediterranean area of the world)
• difficult childbirth (which is often a Shadowloss experience)
I recommend the cyclamen for those that have lost a spouse, fiancé, partner, or a lifelong bestie. It’s also good for giving to anyone you empathize with. As an example, perhaps your friend’s dog died, and you personally have lost a dog too. It’s a way to say, “I have been there, I see your pain, I know it is valid, I see you.”
Relating to childbirth, the cyclamen is something I would give to someone who had a rough childbirth, and perhaps is navigating a permanent physical change from that experience (i.e. can not have anymore children, can not have a vaginal delivery in the future, have endured a serious wound or physical damage, or did not have the birth plan happen at all, etc.) This comes from what was recorded in a source out of Iran in the 1930s, and published in a book out of the UK. The source stated that when Mary was giving birth to Jesus, she grabbed hold of nearby cyclamen during the delivery, which was said to be challenging. Because of this belief, the source stated women giving birth would be given cyclamen blooms to hold with them while they delivered. For many, childbirth is an experience that results in a shadowloss of some kind….this does not undermine the joy of the experience of pregnancy or the joy of the birth of a child, it just is a part of the experience. I’d give cyclamen to someone navigating a shadowloss connected to their birth experience. It’s important we see the whole experience, and therefore the whole person. Acknowledging the difficulty, the trauma, and the pain does not diminish the joy.
