It is thought that one might blow upon the dandelion seeds, and as they drift into the wind, they will carry your wishes to your lover. The soul needing Dandelion essence feels a natural intensity and love for life. Such individuals are compulsive “doers” who enter with great zeal and zest into many activities.
Unfortunately, they can over-plan and over-form their lives beyond the natural capacity of the body to sustain such intensity. Furthermore, such persons may become unable to experience more contained moments of reflective activity. The unexpressed inner life of the soul and the harsh demands on the body collide to create extreme tension, especially in the musculature.
The Dandelion flower teaches these individuals how to listen closely to emotional messages and bodily needs. As tension is released the soul feels more inner ease and balance, allowing spiritual forces to flow through the body in a dynamic, effortless way.

I'm looking at the dandelions in our yard and pastures in a new light. I think I'll go make some flower essence. Praise the X-Marks flower!
