The dance pedagogue Anastasia Geng (1922 - 2002) inspired medieval folklore forms of her Latvian homeland to create meditative circle dances. (She fled to Germany where she worked collaboratively in developing dances.) She was particularly inspired by Dr.Bach’s flower essences. Anastasia’s simple dances worked harmoniously on body, soul and spirit. She danced to medicinal herbs, trees, moon phases, seasons and times of life. The Dandelion dance is one such dance.

Bach’s Dandelion Flower Essence
Healing Properties: It is thought that one might blow upon the dandelion seeds, and as they drift into the wind, they will carry your wishes to your lover. The soul needing Dandelion flower essence feels a natural intensity and love for life. This flower essence helps those who over plan, and get caught in the cycle control and demand. This creates intensity and a lack of harmony with others. Furthermore, such persons may become unable to experience a natural flow of life. The Dandelion flower remedy teaches these individuals how to listen closely to emotional messages and bodily needs. As tension is released the soul feels inner ease and balance, allowing spiritual forces to flow through the body in a dynamic, effortless way.
