Self-care and Personal Growth through Gifts from the Rainforest:
39. Yarrow Medicine – the yarrow flower heals on the emotional level and facilitates the release of codependency, negativity and sadness.

What action or new decisions do you need to make to bring things back into balance?
Healing Action: Detach from other people’s feelings and heal your own emotions. Develop self-care habits that strengthen good boundaries, balance and stability.
The Power in the Flower
Toxic emotions poison the body, mind, and spirit.
Many people believe that they have no power
in the face of violence or fear.
They allow their will to crumble
because they have bought into the harmful thoughts of others.
Take heart from the Yarrow flower.
Call on its power to transmute destruction and malignancy
into harmony and openness to new solutions.
Let the light from Yarrow
strengthen and encourage you
in stressful times.
You are more powerful than the emotions around you.
Compose yourself so that you can release the sadness.
You are at choice.

Further Exploration into Yarrow Medicine:
You have been giving and expecting too much of yourself or trying to be everything to everybody. You may feel that others are sucking your energy dry or that they would like you to do their work for them.
It’s time to sort this out with kindness. Instead of buying into emotional reactions, pull back and be kind to yourself for awhile.
- Connect with your true nature to bring about change.
- Infuse your body with generative life force instead of turmoil.
- Attend to your needs with at least as much devotion as you have been caring for others.
- Turn the situation around by asking to be blessed for every time someone blamed you, didn’t show up, forgot to include you or left you to fend for yourself.
It’s also possible that you’ve been navigating your life based on emotions and your reactions to them. If you stop and notice how that tendency has been affecting your well being, you may want to decide to find another way.
As you look at Yarrow’s Circle, ask your heart, “What is the emotion that causes me to lose my balance? What decision(s) have I made that needs to change?”
Just knowing the answers to these questions will help you get back on your feet. Whatever that emotion is confuses you and disconnects you from your Source. Strengthen your self-reliance by releasing unhealthy attachments to that emotion and reclaim your personal authority.
