Saskatoon Flower Essence

Expanded Definition as spoken by the plant:

Saskatoon (Amelanchier alnifolia) -- Facilitates communication between all parts of the brain to support whole brain integration and functioning with ease.

I AM ease in the evolutionary process of becoming a whole-brain human.

Medicinal, Food & Wildlife Qualities:

Saskatoon, also called serviceberry, is a thornless shrub in the rose family. It is found in a variety of conditions from dry, rocky slopes in full sun or in moist, deep fertile soils and partial shade of coniferous forest at low to mid elevations from North Dakota and Saskatchewan Canada to Southern California.   Deer and elk browse the leaves and young shoots and birds love the berries. Many indigenous peoples ate Saskatoon berries, made medicine from roots, stems and berries to treat a wide range of minor complaints, and made arrows, digging sticks and drying baskets from the wood. Today the fruit is still valued, and commercial and garden varieties have been developed.  Saskatoon has bright white blooms in spring and its blue berries ripen in mid summer.

Saskatoon berries are rich in copper and iron. Modern brain metabolism research indicates that copper and iron are essential for a healthy brain. Copper deficiency impairs brain functioning and immune system response, including changes in certain chemical receptors in the brain and a decrease in neurotransmitters.  In addition to other functions, copper is involved in iron metabolism in the body and in brain functioning.  Iron deficiency eventually leads to anemia and results in the blood carrying an insufficient amount of oxygen to the brain. The lack of oxygen can cause fatigue and impair mental functioning, including cognitive and attention deficit.

Symptom:

Use Saskatoon flower essence when you are having challenges with cognitive functions such as thinking, reasoning, remembering, imagining, or learning words.  It is helpful when you are learning a lot of new information in a short time or are synthesizing information from a variety of sources.  It is also helpful when one part of the brain is more dominant than another part.  For example, if you tend to respond from logic to the exclusion of imaginative thinking or if you react instinctively in situations where altruistic reasoning would be more effective.   It is helpful for people who have been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder or sensory integration difficulties.

Action:

The parts of our human brain have been developing for hundreds of thousands of years.  The most recent part of the brain to develop is the forebrain, sometimes called the God brain. It is where we understand that reality is 99% energy and 1% matter and we interact with the world from a higher consciousness.   Now we are learning to communicate between and create harmony among all of the
lobes/parts and functions of our brain.  For most of us, some neural pathways are still in progress.   Saskatoon flower essence helps to connect missing links in energy pathways that inform the neural pathways during this development stage as we learn to live in a whole brain way. It also helps to integrate the new brain pathways that develop while learning new information and tasks or synthesizing fragments of existing information.

While the essence was being made gemstones of amethyst, shattukite and drusy quartz gemstones were placed among the storage bottles (mother bottles) and the  plants. Amethyst is the stone of spirituality and contentment, and assists in the assimilation of new ideas. It carries the imprint of complete metamorphosis.  Shattukite stone aids communication of inputs through the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that is active during spiritual experience, and other parts of the brain. Drusy quartz crystals help to energize and stabilize your subtle bodies. The actions of the gemstones inform the way this flower essence seats into the physical body.
