Aspen

The aspen grows on moist ground in alluvial forests, on banks, and swampy groves in Central Europe and Asia up to the Arctic Circle. It is a slender tree with silvery-gray, smooth bark. It can grow up to 20 meters tall and rarely grows alone. Its leaves are serrated, round to oval, and have a flat stem. The flowers appear very early from February to March/April before the leaves sprout, often when there is still snow. The aspen is dioecious, meaning that male and female inflorescences are found on different plants. The female catkins are gray-green, the male ones are gray and 5 to 10 cm long with red anthers and yellow pollen. A striking thing about the aspen is that it trembles - even on windless days - and thus expresses its symbolism.

Aspen Bach flower essence effect: Aspen helps with vague, undefined fears (fear of the dark, of being alone). It helps to use sensitivity positively. We can better protect ourselves against negative energies and also recognize our own destructive potential. With improved intuition, we act fearlessly and face impending dangers with inner strength.

Quote by Dr. Edward Bach: "The cause of all our difficulties is the ego and separateness."

Physical essence effect: Common physical complaints that indicate an Aspen deficiency include symptoms that are caused by apparently unfounded fears. The flower energy of Aspen brings confidence and new courage, which calms fear and brings peace to the troubled soul. The physical complaints are energetically resolved via this "back door". Applied externally, the Aspen essence provides an energetic protective skin so that your skin can calm down.

Emotional: The Aspen essence is recommended when we are "in control" of the emotions of fear. We live in fear that something disastrous could happen. It can be fear of the dark, of being alone or another vague feeling of fear. The cause is often an excessive sensitivity to unconscious influences. It is a state of mind that Bach said would particularly affect people when they wanted to do something good on their journey through life. The Aspen essence helps us to avoid being overwhelmed by these influences and to be able to process them. It provides "thin-skinned" people with energetic protection and strengthens them when they are under psychological and physical stress. Due to their ability to empathize with others, such people often work in social areas and find valuable support for their work in the essence.

Mental: The essence promotes a fear-free perception of the personal situation and dissolves diffuse fears. The fog in our minds clears and through mental clarity we recognize what we need to do. Little by little we can overcome nightmares, delusions, suicidal thoughts or night terrors.

Spiritual: The Aspen essence allows us to make better use of our high sensitivity. We recognize our intuitive abilities and our access to subtler levels of consciousness. Up until now we have experienced the shadow sides as negative premonitions and fear, but with the Aspen essence we can gain the necessary fearlessness and fear-free perception. We open ourselves trustingly to the universal power of love and feel embedded in a higher order - wrapped in the protective "overalls" of the Aspen essence.

Children: When Aspen is deficient, children react to their environment like seismographs and pick up on other people's fears. Fear of kindergarten, starting school, school and vague, inexplicable things can arise. The Aspen flower essence helps children to find more protection and security within themselves.

Animals: The Aspen essence encourages animals to be courageous when faced with the unexpected. Anxiety, fear, and fear of noise or the unknown can dissolve.

Affirmation: The protection and light of God accompany me and I accept my sensitivity as a gift.
