How the Dandelion works
The Dandelion’s life cycle is a model for human transformation. The Dandelions transformation process, often unnoticed by humans, is a fascinating example of natural processes and the power of adaptation. We can learn a lot about our life journey’s by observing how the Dandelion works.
Every step in its process has a purpose and place in the life cycle. From the germination of a tiny seed in the soil, the sprouting of photosynthetic green leaves, the development of a hollow stalk and finally the blooming of bright yellow flower head composed of numerous small florets each step slowly emerges into life.
Dandelions are prolific, they are easy to find. When I notice the changes that emerge within their maturation I can’t help but compare it to the human process of transformation. I see that each step requires patience and trust.
The process of not knowing what will happen next, yet allowing change to occur.
We have natural physical changes during our growth and maturation life stages of, physical, hormonal and cognitive change. Additionally, humans can be challenged with external events, crises, unexpected experiences which call for metamorphosis in one form or another. Often this process is assisted by
- awareness of the problem
- seeking advice and support
- uncovering new perspectives and views that allow you to grow into the next phase of your life
That’s where I come in.

Getting back to the dandelion … its metamorphosis continues: As the flower matures, the transformation becomes even more remarkable. The bright yellow petals gradually close up and then, slowly, with time, re-emerge as a spherical seed head, commonly known as a dandelion clock.
Each floret transforms further into a single seed attached to a pappus, a structure resembling a tiny parachute. When conditions are right, usually with a gentle breeze, the pappus enables the seeds to disperse far from the parent plant, facilitating widespread scattering of seeds. This unique method of seed dispersal is not only efficient but also a testament to the dandelion’s evolutionary success, allowing it to proliferate across various climates and habitats.
People have many climates and terrains to traverse in a life time. As one of my yoga teacher’s once said “ if you’re breathing … there are issues to resolve”. Ignoring them doesn’t mean they go away. They are there embedded within your energy field
