WILD BUCKWHEAT FLOWER ESSENCE

Have you recently felt any of the following?

• Depleted or low energy
• Overworked and stretched thin
• Noise and static
• Lackadaisical or unaware
• Self-absorbed or thinking for oneself or one’s own experience
• Expansion based on efforting/pushing/depletion
• Extraneous thoughts that prevent harmony of connectivity

WHAT IT REVEALS

If you feel drawn to the Wild Buckwheat flower, you may have a habit of working through efforting and depletion to attain success in life. You may be feeling fatigued or low energy. Perhaps you feel overworked, overwhelmed and stretched too thin, yet at the same time you are absorbed in your own world.

You think too much, which creates a subtle disharmony or rift in the part of your energy system that connects with the outer world. Sometimes your overwhelm can become so intense that your system turns careless (missing details) or apathetic (system overload).

WHAT IT CATALYZES

Activate: Electric expansion
Message: Revitalize your expansion.

Wild Buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum) teaches us the art of expansion without depletion. It helps us develop an efficient, speedy transmission of energy and style of communication.

Greater expansion is developed when we operate within a group of people who are mutually supportive. We can employ our awareness, listening, and connectivity, and utilize the group's energy for support and inspiration, to make something happen. If we move too far out of range (distance energetically from the group), it gets more challenging to hear (or spread) a message or make an impact. Wild Buckwheat helps us be attentive to whatever group collectives that we’re a part of, so we can see eye to eye, amplify our vision and know the way forward.

Wild Buckwheat shows us how electricity moves through space like lightning. It teaches us how to concentrate our energy, and use the power of interconnectivity to spread a message, feeling, energy or pure intention – like lightning fire. It offers us the ability to expand quickly, or create effortless awareness about something. In seeing the strength in camaraderie, support and patience within groups, it becomes possible for our exponential energy to cut through extraneous thoughts and bring something to light.

FUN FACTS

Native to the Southwestern United States, Wild Buckwheat was traditionally used by multiple indigenous tribes as a food and medicinal plant. Infused into teas and porridges, or powdered into poultices, it was used as a remedy for headaches, stomachaches and to heal arrow/bullet wounds. As a tea it soothed hoarse or sore throats.

In the state of California, Wild Buckwheat is one of the most important flowers for local, native honey. It attracts all kinds of bees, even in dryer, summer months. And the nectar of the flower is food for many special blue and polka-dotted species of butterflies.

The plant itself is supportive to the environment: it prevents erosion, increases the yield of crops when it’s planted in hedges nearby, and is planted in areas where fires have occurred to heal and revitalize the earth.
