definition

Windflower (Anemone pulsatilla)
Therapeutic theme: spiritual tonic: provides grounding and inner security
Signature: There is a quality of timidity or shyness about this soft, furry, violet flower which appears on the prairies while the ice and snow are still on the ground. This signature resonates with the shyness that we sometimes feel about allowing our inner light to shine. It is said that it received its name because Windflower only opens when the wind is blowing.

Windflower is the essence which provides the security necessary to express our spiritual being. It allows the soul to dance, as the Windflower dances in the wind.
By allowing us to feel secure with our own originality, it balances our emotional responses. It encourages self-acceptance and self-expression and thereby allows for the unequivocal acceptance of others.
It is a remedy to work on the inner self, to connect with Be-ing.
Herbally it has been used as a sedative and analgesic. Homeopathically, one of its black letter symptoms is menstrual pain. As a flower essence it affects stomach disorders, both physical and emotional. In Chinese medicine the Stomach channel governs our ability to digest food and experience and to convert them into nourishment for the Body/Mind. We can only feel grounded and secure when we are nourished.
