Do you want to heal your sexual trauma?
Has your sexual trauma affected your nervous system?
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is amazing ally! On a spirit level, she is fierce, helps bring confidence and helps set boundaries. Other benefits of yarrow is, she helps stop bleeding. If you have a fever, you can take it to help cool the fever down by allowing you to sweat it out. If you aren’t getting your period or have cramps she is awesome as well. If you diarrhea, the astringent qualities will help you tighten the intestines as to stop the diarrhea.
Back in my early 20s, I was sexually violated by a so called teacher of mine. He basically fucked with my mind and used that to sexually violate me (he taught me martial arts and told me he was the only one who can heal my back injury). Back then I naive and gave my power away to him. I did a lot of work with a healing guide to help release the emotional trauma that I experienced from the three years of mind manipulation. The healing was great but he would still show up in my mental body. When I would make love the image of him would come in my mind, I would end up crying and it would affect me from experiencing deep love making.
When I first started training as an herbalist, I worked with Yarrow very intimately and closely. I meditated with her, made offerings and built a relationship with her. I had no idea that plants also had a spirit. While I would meditate, I would listen to the messages that Yarrow wanted me to hear. I will act on it too. While taking a bath with Yarrow leaves and flowers, I had direct messages to release my sexual violator from sexual, physical, emotional, mental and physic bodies. The most important one was releasing him from my mental body. I washed him image away in the yarrow bath waters. After the shower, I sealed myself with yarrow oil.
The follow week when making love to my husband, the image of the man disappeared. I was able to have deeper connection with my partner and our love making was so beautiful. Wow! Yes, he no longer was taking hold of my mind and my psychic body. This was profound!! I couldn’t believe a plant would be able to work in this way. This was why I was on my path to learn about herbs and the magic they offer.
So, if you are looking to heal your sexual trauma, I would recommend meditating with her and building a relationship.
Plant meditation:
- Take tincture or make a tea
- Close your eyes and ask the spirit of plant to help you
- Open your heart and send plant love
- Breath and listen to messages that plant want to give you
- Write down in a journal
I hope Yarrow can help you on your path to healing!
Much love,
Antoinette Yarrow
P.S. Because I had such profound experience with Yarrow, I asked Yarrow if you I can use her name. She said yes. Thus my herbal name is Antoinette Yarrow.
