Every human soul seeks at its deepest level to be compassionate to open its feeling life to others. The Pink Yarrow type needs to distinguish authentic compassion from overly sympathetic identification with others. For such persons, the boundaries between the Self and others is quite loose and ill-defined.
This extreme openness predisposes the soul to easily “bleed,” or merge with it environment, particularly the emotional aura of others. As a consequence, such individuals experience emotional confusion and oversensitivity, unable to identify which feelings originate from the Self and which from others. Sometimes this emotional merging I unconscious; at other times, the individual willingly sponges up emotional debris.
Such a soul is extremely “allergic” to environmental confusion and disharmony, and hopes to dissipate such discord be internalizing it. Pink Yarrow flower essence imparts greater objectivity and containment. It teaches that true compassion comes from the heart which is in touch with its own spiritual strength. Such a person learns to give love that does not absorb, but radiates; that heals not by sympathetic merging, but by compassionate presence.

Yarrow Flower Essence - As the soul becomes more spiritually open, it necessarily becomes more refined, sensitive, and absorbent. In the past many of those on spiritual paths were removed and protected from the daily conditions of living, so that the soul could safely harmonize and expand its boundaries. Modern conditions require that the path of spiritualization be connected to the physical world and to practical responsibilities.
In this way, the light of the spirit is brought through the human soul right into the Earth as a healing force. Yarrow flower essence is a very important and highly beneficial remedy to harmonize this process. Those who typically need this remedy are easily affected by their surroundings, and can be prone to many forms of environmental illnesses, allergies, or psychosomatic diseases. Such persons have an extraordinary capacity for healing, counseling, or teaching, because they are readily available to receive psychic information and to understand the pain and suffering of others. At the same time they are easily depleted, and are quite vulnerable to the thoughts pr negative intentions of others. Yarrow flower essence literally “knits together” the overly porous aura of such an individual so that it does not “bleed” so excessively into its environment.
Furthermore, it helps such a person re-balance and stabilize the abundant light which radiates in the upper energy centers, directing it into the lower centers so that the Self has more vitality and solidity. Yarrow flower essence has nearly universal application, and should be considered in many formulas for the profound soul shifts of our age. Yarrow flower essence bestows a shining shield of Light which protects and unifies the essential Self, allowing compassionate healing qualities to flow freely from one’s soul to another.
