Willow

(Salix vitellina)

Willow grows on moist, sandy soils on the banks of the water. This fast-growing dioecious tree can reach 25 meters. Its flowers are opened between April and May. The female flowers are green catkins; the male ones form small round catkins of silver or yellow color.

With Willow we come to realize that our life is governed by what we think. The essence will help us to make life plans with positive thoughts and with full action energy.

Essence Effect on the Body: Helps us stop feeling victims of the destiny and to get rid of negative preconceptions, self-pity, grudge, etc. This way, we will be stronger on the energy level and we will fill with joy and hope. In the same way, our interior therapist will be set in motion to settle corporal problems. After an accident or surgery, the essence will permit us to be equal to the new situation and to feel happy, in spite of everything.

Mood: When we sunk in very negative vital phases, we are implacable, belligerent and negative. Willow essence helps us to recover the sun in our lives. We learn to forgive leaving aside our selfishness and notice the pain in other people. Malice and the uncomfortable mania of being upset by everything and of rebelling against everything are left behind.

Mind: With this essence, we learn that the external behavior is reflected in our interior state. We can leave thoughts of resentment and immobility behind. We accept failures and do not feel envy of the luck and the happiness of the others. We consider the reverses of our destiny as lessons to be learned. Upon forgiving, we free our thoughts and can focus on the new path to follow.

Spirit: Willow essence helps us find spiritual peace and serenity. Assuming a fundamentally positive attitude we will be able to recognize our own negativity without accusations toward oneself or others. This essence encourages internal energy to finish old enmities and to recognize that one person should never judge another one.

Affirmation: I take responsibility for myself and my fate and I feel genuine affection for myself and for others.
