(Populus tremula)
Aspen grows on humid soils of pastures, near water or in swampy woodland in Central Europe and Asia, up to the Polar Circle. It is a thin tree with a gray silver plain bark. It can reach 20 meters high and it is unusual to find it isolated. The jagged leaves, between round and oval, are attached to the tree by a smoothed petiole. The flowers bloom at the same point in which the leaves sprout.
Essence Effect: Aspen essence helps us overcome undefined fears (fear of the dark, of solitude). Essence Effect on the Body: The most frequent wounds that show a lack of aspen are manifested as apparitions that remit us to unreasonable fears. The energy of Aspen leaves provide confidence and renewed courage that calm down our fears and give peace to our restless spirit.
Mood: Aspen essence is recommended when we feel that fear is always ready to come out at any time. We live with the fear that something disastrous could happen. It may be fear of the dark, of being alone or any other feeling of uncertainty. The cause of such feelings could be an excessive sensitivity to unknown influences. Aspen essence helps us control such influences transmitting protective energy to hypersensitive people, and at the same time, reinforcing their mind and body. As a result of being intuitive, these people often work in areas related to social support, and this essence is a valuable.
Mind: This essence favors the serene observation of a personal situation and it disperses uncertain fears. Our mind is enlightened and we can identify clearly what must be done. Gradually, we are able to overcome nightmares, manias, suicidal thoughts or nocturnal fears.
Spirit: With Aspen essence, we are better able to use our great sensibility as it allows us to recognize our intuitive capacities, and so, we are able to approach subtle levels of our conscience. So far, the gloomy feeling is seen as a negative premonition or fear but with Aspen essence, we can be fearless and reach a serene observation capacity. With self-confidence, we open ourselves up to universal love and we feel included in an upper order, wrapped up in Aspen essence protection.
Affirmation: The light and protection of God accompany me and I receive my sensibility as a gift.
