Mindful & Quiet Walk ~ Castle Farm's Lavender

In old European folklore, lavender was placed under pillows of children to invite dreams from the angelic realm.
It was believed to ward off evil spirits and reunite the soul with the stars during sleep.
"Lavender doesn’t just soothe — she restores the link between body and soul during rest and represents Purity, Protection and Rebalancing emotional overload. Lavender is not merely gentle, it is quiet strength and rearranges your nervous system with grace.
