Growing up, Yawnie was a very sensitive child who always felt vulnerable. As he matured, he learned that his empathic abilities did have value, but it has not come without a cost. Yawnie is often overwhelmed and energetically drained from all of the emotions he picks up from the people around him. Yawnie is also sensitive to the electromagnetic fields that surround computers, televisions, cell phones and especially airports. When spending time in these areas he becomes extremely drained to the point of feeling like he was going to faint, and he will need to rest in order to regain his energy. Yawnie feels particularly vulnerable when he is around people displaying strong emotions such as anger and fear, or when he is near people who are arguing. Yawnie is better able to cope now that he is older, but he would like to find a way of protecting himself that is not so draining on his energy.
Yarrow flower essence is for protection. The scientific name, Achillea comes from the Greek myth of Achilles. Achilles was a powerful Greek warrior. One day he went to the great healer Chiron the centaur, asking for an elixir that would protect a great warrior such as himself. Chiron brewed up a large cauldron of a special herbal concoction and dipped Achilles into it head first. Achilles was completely coated by this healing elixir except for his one heel where Chiron held onto Achilles when dipping him into the bath. The elixir of protection was like a great shield around Achilles, warding off all enemies’ arrows, lances and other weapons. The elixir worked so well that Achilles again sought advice from Chiron, this time to find a way to heal the wounds of his soldiers. Chiron told him that the main ingredient of the protective elixir was a plant with a white flower that grew in the battle field. Achilles instructed his soldiers to use this plant to stop their bleeding and to heal their wounds. It worked so well that for many centuries this plant became known as "Soldier's Wound Wort" and "Knight's Millefoil". The protection that Achilles received from Chiron’s elixir was almost complete, but in the great battle of Troy he was pierced by a poisonous arrow in his one vulnerable spot, his heel. He died in the court of Troy as his troops were about to celebrate their victory.
