Aspen
(Bach Flower Remedies)
by Rebecca Brents

Aspen addresses issues of fear and vague, but chronic anxiety. It is related to the soul's potentials for fearlessness, coping, and transformation. These, or course, can be undermined by unconscious anxieties and fears of indistinct origin.

It is thought these originate in people who are hypersensitive spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically. Being finely tuned, they may carry information through with them into consciousness which rightfully belongs in the layer of sub-conscious awareness that separates dreams from reality. The soul passes through this layer each night during sleep in order to reach the transpersonal levels of consciousness and contact the Higher Self. It is during this process that significant spiritual healing occurs.

Bringing images forward from the Collective Unconscious without realizing what they are or that this is happening can flood the conscious existence of such a person with thoughts and images which seem frightening, threatening, unreal, and literally "fantastic." The Collective Unconscious is a repository for, among other things, highly symbolic ideas, over-arching themes found in transpersonal psychological patterns and development, archetypes, superstitions, and abstract religious concepts.

These clusters of highly charged and influential energy can be extremely inappropriate in the waking life of a soul who is unaware of their significance, what they mean, and how to deal with them. These energies carry images that prompt free-floating fear, anxieties with no discernible origins, and a chronic condition of emotional and psychological distress. Often one has a feeling of impending catastrophe without being able to fix the energy on any specific situation in real life.

In extreme cases, there are even physical symptoms of fear and apprehension: trembling, nausea, sweating, a "stomach in knots" feeling, etc. The person may feel haunted by fears s/he can neither name nor escape ... and may become locked in a situation where contact with the Higher Self, who could help channel such energy away, is impossible. The stress itself prevents sufficient relaxation and release to achieve the necessary communion.

The person may sleep-walk, sleep-talk, experience nightmares and night terrors, awake panic-stricken ... and begin resisting sleep altogether ... which only aggravates an already hellish problem -- through sleep-deprivation and preventing the very states where Higher Self contact most easily occurs and can help. This may, in part, explain why some children demand to sleep with a night light and talk of ghosts and the "boogey man" who seems disconcertingly real to them.

The person in need of Aspen may develop a fear of the dark, a fear of being out at night, and resort to superstitious fascinations with occult and magical concepts or personal rituals of protection ... as a way of handling their fright. This can happen suddenly and appear at any age.

They may not be able to explain their compulsions ... but since employing them "helps" them cope, they continue to do so. It may not occur to them that they are simply over-reacting to their invisible environment ... by looking for causes in their visible one, and, of course, not finding an explanation there.

They may or may not be aware of their ability to "read the atmosphere" around them for developing conflicts and problems, and for discerning the psychic currents in others. In fact, they may not realize they are likely being caught up in the rushing stream of "other people's stuff" ... which is far beyond their ability to manage and which simply needs to be released and discarded rather than fixated on and allowed entry.

Aspen people register everything ... and before long, their own energies and coping strategies are exhausted. At this point, everything becomes overwhelming ... from the stress of the morning commute to the latest news about economic inflation to amorphous threats of possible nuclear war. Suddenly everything is too possible, everything is too real, and everything is just awful.

Threats and problems are seen everywhere. Yet there is no threat terribly imminent, or overly personal, or easily discussed -- which can be what makes it so fearsome, mysterious, and infuriating, even for the Aspen person himself. Aspen helps resolve this dilemma, dispels apprehensions of impending doom or evil, and helps restore faith so that fear is manageable and even unnecessary.

Acquisition of this level of trust can make it possible for the person to use their extraordinary sensitivity to advantage -- instead of having it overpower them. One can tune in to these exceptional levels of consciousness ... consciously!! There, one can explore their levels and potentials, experience them safely and with discernment, experiment with them, and then use the new knowledge to good advantage in waking life ... and to help others in similar situations.

This is especially useful for those working in the psycho-therapeutic disciplines or those working with parapsychology. Aspen as a therapy itself may help those caught in addictions, those exposed to violence and traumatic assault, those gripped by obsessions, and for children who have been abused. Certain meditation techniques, some occult rituals, and certain experiences with the psychedelic drugs can lead to conditions requiring Aspen to remedy their effects.

Aspen essence quiets and subdues the astral body so that the ego can regain its rightful supremacy in waking life. It helps re-establish the boundaries that contain that ego energy. It restores and soothes the soul's innate psychic capacities, allowing the conscious mind to become again the arbiter and user of information received through these higher channels. It brings greater strength and confidence. It balances the soul forces.

It specifically addresses problems of groundless and unrelenting fear, sudden anxiety attacks, "creepy sensations," delusions, a hyper-active imagination, fearful fascination with occult experiences, superstitions, fear of terrible punishment or persecution, fear of being harmed or swept away by invisible forces, nightmares, catastrophic visions of death, hell and other religious themes, inability to talk about fears, trembling, and fears of the dark.

During use of Aspen, it also helps to "stay grounded" through earth-based hobbies such as pottery making, cooking, gardening, or just sitting outside in contact with the earth itself. Also, avoid the use of alcohol and overly-stimulating or anxiety producing situations and entertainment.
