Making the Willow Essence

Part 3 of the series The Moment of Bloom ~ My Ecstatic Journey Making the Bach Flower Essences in a Golden Bowl


Willow

One day, before the full moon (when we planned to make the Mustard essence), my friend Aurora was going to be working on an art installation called "Nest" at El Capitan Canyon.  In fact, she was going to be weaving some Willow branches into the nest.  I casually asked her if there was any Willow in bloom.  She said she had seen some, mostly it was probably over, and she would have a look.  I decided to drive to the spot and give her a hand and check out the Willow situation.  When I got arrived, she and our friend Sarah Uma were there.  Aurora went to show me that she had only found two buds… Then she said everything else was already blooming.  I burst out laughing.  That is what I wanted.  I wanted them to be in full bloom!  Yay!  I had the Golden Bowl, and right there, the 3 of us made the essence (after first playing the bowl).  We were blessed out!!
