Herbal Wisdom
Arnica is sometimes also known as the mountain daisy as it is found growing wildly in areas of high altitude with minimal to no fertility. Its ability to thrive in. areas where there is little nourishment gives Arnica the potency to hold space and shine light into areas of ourselves that are unloved or neglected.
The constituents of the arnica flower make it wonderful for pain and bruising by drawing blood flow and prana to areas that need healing. Where darkness, pain , psychic attacks and/or suffering exists Arnica will flood with light and hold space for healing to occur.

Now we take a moment to bring in the medicine of Arnica.
Arnica is the yellow mountain Daisy. It grows wildly in areas of high altitude, where there is little fertility but lots of sun. The strength to grow and shine bright where little love and nourishment exists is the power of Arnica.
With the help of the rocks on which arnica grows, it holds space to delve into the depths of the self which are unloved or neglected and floods them with the light of the sun so that healing can occur.
Take a few deep breaths as you bring the light of arnica into your body. Hold this light and allow it to illuminate where there is pain to be healed. You may see, hear or have an intuitive knowing of what is ready to be revealed and reintegrated. Take a few deep breaths to explore here.

Place your hands over your heart and feel the pain drawing through the body and into the heart. Feel it coming out through the heart, transmuting the pain through love. As it emerges through your heart, visualise this pain forming into a rock.
Hold the rock in your hands and place it back onto the earth to be reintegrated.
Take a few beautiful deep breaths here.
Bring your hands to your heart as you thank mother earth, the rock spirits and arnica for supporting you in transmuting this pain.
Again we take a beautiful deep breath in and slowly feel yourself coming back into your physical body.
