Bobinsana
The keeper of flowing love
Nature of the tree
The Bobinsana grows as a small tree on the banks of the rivers of Amazonia. Its flowers are fine pink brushes made of countless stamens. Its branches are flexible: when the floods come, it bends and remains standing. In Amazonian plant medicine it is regarded as a teacher of the heart, of compassion and of dreams.
Inner attitude
The Bobinsana is soft and supple. It yields without losing itself. It loves without holding on.
