has been used for protection on the emotional
level during times of vulnerability caused by
spiritual and psychological growth process. Yellow
Yarrow Essence, in particular, is helpful during
these times in that it not only protects one
from outside influence during periods of emotional
vulnerability, but it supports the individual
in a way that allows him to soften on all levels so
that the integration of his shifts can occur more
easily. It protects and at the same time returns one
to a state of softness, gentleness. This essence is
especially effective for those who respond to their
times of vulnerability by throwing up a wall—a
wall that impedes their integration process.
Remaining open to others while still feeling inner protection; active social involvement which preserves the integrity of the Self.
Patterns of imbalance:
For outgoing people who are overly influenced by their environment and by other people; protecting oneself from vulnerability to others by withdrawal and social isolation.
One of the greatest challenges in the life of the soul is that of learning to stay open and balanced, without compromising one’s basic integrity and health. Golden Yarrow assists with this balance, and is indicated for those whose natural inclination is to avoid public limelight or performance because of acute sensitivity.
In such situations the soul becomes imprisoned in its introversion, unable to learn how to open itself within proper limits. This situation is especially pronounced for artists whose very involvement in the arts requires profound soul refinement. Such persons often find it difficult to cope with their sensitivity, and can turn to drugs or other activities which blunt or harden the soul.
Unfortunately, this choice is self-defeating, for it also severs the individual from true artistic capacity and sensitivity. Golden Yarrow flower essence helps such a person to build a sheath which shields and protects, while still providing access to its innate sensitivity. In this way the soul comes to anchor inviolable light and strength within itself, which protect and encourage the delicate and gentle expression of the Self.
