Aspen

Aspen helps with vague fears and enables fearless perception. With heightened intuition, we act fearlessly and strengthen oursel.

The aspen grows on moist ground in riparian forests, on river banks, and in swampy groves in Central Europe and Asia up to the Arctic Circle. It is a slender tree with silvery-gray, smooth bark. It can reach up to 20 meters in height 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 emerge, often while there is still snow. The aspen is dioecious, meaning male and female inflorescences are found on different plants. The female catkins are gray-green, the male ones gray and 5 to 10 cm long with red anthers and yellow pollen. A striking feature of the aspen is that it trembles—even on windless days—thus expressing its symbolic significance.

Aspen Bach Flower Essence Effect: Aspen helps with vague, undefined fears (fear of the dark, of being alone). It helps us utilize 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 ego and separation."

Physical Essence Effect: Common physical complaints that indicate an Aspen deficiency include symptoms that are due to seemingly unfounded fears. The flower energy of Aspen brings confidence and new courage, which calms fear and brings peace to the troubled soul. Through this "back door," the physical complaints are energetically dissolved. Applied externally, the Aspen essence provides an energetic protective layer, allowing the skin to find peace.

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

Mental: The essence promotes a fear-free perception of one's personal situation and dissolves diffuse fears. The fog of our minds clears, and through mental clarity, we recognize what needs to be done. Gradually, we can overcome nightmares, delusions, suicidal thoughts, or night terrors.

Spiritual: With the Aspen essence, we can better utilize our high sensitivity. We recognize our intuitive abilities and our access to more subtle levels of consciousness. Until now, we have experienced the shadow sides as negative premonitions and fear; with the Aspen essence, we gain the necessary fearlessness and anxiety-free perception. We open ourselves trustingly to the universal power of love and feel embedded in a higher order—enveloped by the protective "overall" of the Aspen essence.

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

Animals: The Aspen essence promotes courage in animals when faced with the unexpected. Anxiety, fear, and anxiety of noise or the unknown can be dissolved.

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