Engaging Heart and Head with Downy Avens Flower Essence

Every time I see a photo of Downy Avens (also known as Prairie Smoke), my heart leaps up! It is such a cool plant. The flowers start as tight red bud-like beings that hang down and point to the ground. But then they stand up straight and unfurl as a whirl of glistening pink filaments that eventually reach up towards the sky except when they are blown about by the wind. I'm so attracted to them . . . and that shocks me a bit.

Lady's Mantle

This is a flower many people think has magical powers. I can't vouch for that, but the plant has a long history in the world of herbalism—especially in regards to women's health— and has also been associated with alchemy. These days people use the flower essence to connect to the feminine aspect of divinity or at least with Mother Nature. It can be very healing if you have issues with women or with your own femininity. It is also said to connect a person to the healing power of nature and the ability to tune into what various plants or other natural substances might be helpful for.
