Dandelions Are Singing To Me… and maybe you too+

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Over a week now I’ve had a strong desire to make dandelion wine again.  I sat down & drafted my little Dandelion Wine Incident memoir piece & will post it once it is revised and typed up.  Today I read about dandelion flower essence.  Wow!  That is just what I need to come back to balance. 

I made flower essences several years ago.  It’s very easy and they have been used medicinally for centuries.  Here is an excerpt about dandelions from the Fower Essence Repertory by Patricia Kaminski and Richard Katz.

“Dandelion - Positive qualities:  Dynamic, effortless energy; lively activity balanced with inner ease.  Patterns of imbalance:  Overly tense, especially in the musculature of the body, overstriving and hard-driving

Cross-references:  Body  Grief  Hardness  Heart  Masculine Consciousness  Massage  Mid-Life Crisis  Perfectionism  Relaxation  Release  Repression  Resistance  Study  Tension  Time Relationship  Work and Career Goals

The soul needing Dandelion essence feels a natural intensity and love for life.  Such individuals are compulsive “doers” who enter with great zeal and zest into many activities.  Unfortunately, they can over-plan and over-form their lives beyond the natural capacity of the body to sustain such intensity.  Furthermore, such persons may become unable to experience more contained moments of reflective activity.  The unexpressed inner life of the soul and the harsh demands on the body collide to create extreme tension, especially in the musculature.  The Dandelion flower teaches these individuals how to listen more closely to emotional messages and bodily needs.  As tension is released the soul feels more inner ease and balance, allowing spiritual forces to flow through the body in a dynamic, effortless way.
