Wild Rose in Flower

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.

How do you choose a Bach Flower Remedy?

It depends if it is for me or for another person. If I am taking a remedy for myself it usually appears as an idea, almost spontaneously. It is like listening or watching what is happening. Other times I might feel I need a remedy and open the box and see which of them attracts my attention as being appropriate to how I feel. Of course it depends upon being aware of what I am feeling!

If I have a client then it is a little different but the process of watching and listening is the same. I wait for the person to tell me what they need rather than guess at it or impose my own ideas. I know the 38 remedies well enough to recognise them when the client describes their situation. It is important for me to know what each remedy state feels like. If I have experience of the emotional state then I can recognise it in others – I feel the way that they feel.
