A powerful remedy to use when charting unknown territory, like past life regressions or exploration of energy connections with people in this life.

Primarily a spiritual essence, it expands the mind to include access to stored memories from previous incarnations or early childhood.

People who were abused as children often take refuge in abusive behaviour patterns towards themselves - alcoholism, eating disorders and even suicidal tendencies. Urchin can provide the safety required to explore and to dispel the energy which created these patterns. At another level it can provide safety from any psychic assault on our Being.

Mentally it alleviates worry and obsessive thinking. Emotionally it affects compulsive behaviour and addictions.

Urchin also helps to dispel panic attacks and other respiratory problems which are common when we do not feel safe. This is probably due to the fact that in the creative cycle of the five elements of Chinese medicine Earth/Spleen is the mother of Metal/Lungs. A severe imbalance in Spleen could easily manifest as Lung and respiratory symptoms.
