How many Bach flowers are in this lane? Wild Oat, Wild Rose, Agrimony, Centaury and Clematis still in bud. The last one is a beautiful Pyramid Orchid, I think. Not one of Bach’s essences, which is just as well as they are quite scarce.
At last we have some sunshine and remedy making is in full swing. Today with perfect blue skies it is Agrimony’s turn.
If you don’t see the negative feelings how can the Flower Remedies help us?
Working with the remedies is not a mechanical process. It is not just a question of ‘feel the fear, take Mimulus and get over it’. There are always degrees and stages in self-awareness. Life is showing us the true situation all the time but we often fail to see it. The remedy helps us to recognise what is real. Suppose that it is raining and you show me a picture of sunshine. Perhaps I will remember it. This doesn’t stop the rain but I can decide either to enjoy the rain or to be patient and wait for the sun to come out again. In such a way the rain helps me to recognise the sun and the sun helps me to recognise the rain.
Honey bees must be the opposite of the Wild Rose condition described by Dr Bach as resignation and indifference.
First there is their energy and work effort, then the sweetness of their honey and their constant service to all of life as pollinators.
So they, like the remedy, are an example to us to keep making the effort, to keep working and trying to manage despite the traumas and difficulties.
