One of my favorite things about this medicine is that the name of it precisely shows up in that which it treats best: overwhelm. Elm flower essence imparts the ability to experience a bird’s eye view: an aerial view of the many elements of life allows us to both see the big picture AND prioritize, breaking things down into bite-sized pieces, thereby alleviating overwhelm. This spirit medicine also helps us to connect to spiritual source energy, which is the actual origin of strength and incentive, rather than “powering through” with a self-reliant stubbornness that isn’t sustainable and is, in deed, a great cause of overwhelm.
