Pink Yarrow - Creature Comforter Essences

Achillea millefolium

For oversensitive, vulnerable. Drained by negativity, bleeding soul. Emotional confusion.

Positive qualities:

Loving awareness of others from a self-contained consciousness; appropriate emotional boundaries.

Patterns of imbalance:

Unbalanced sympathetic forces, overly absorbent auric field, lack of emotional clarity, dysfunctional merging with others.

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.
