The Bach Flower Therapy from a Spiritual Point of View

Enjoy a short excerpt from the Book for your reading pleasure

Introduction:

Dr. Bach was born to a poor family in London in the late 19th century. His childhood circumstances were not uncommon for that day. A majority of the English population lived in misery and poverty.

Against all odds, however, Dr. Bach managed to put himself through medical school, holding a prestigious position as a consultant on London’s famed Harley Street.

Dr. Bach had a true calling for healing. As young boy he experienced much hardship, seeing wretchedness all around him.  Deeply moved by others’ pain, he wanted to find a way to alleviate their suffering.

Dr. Bach soon discovered, however, that what allopathic medicine claims as a “cure,” in most cases, only provides temporary relief from the body’s physical symptoms. Ailments tend to return again and again requiring more and stronger chemical medicine. Related symptoms, such as emotional imbalances, remain untreated and the person is not healed.

After much research on alternative therapies, inspired by homeopathy, Dr. Bach discovered that people can be categorized into seven basic types, with corresponding symptoms. Dr. Bach thus developed the seven “Bach Nosodes” as a first step towards holistic healing.

When Dr. Bach decided to give up his lucrative practice at the Harley Street clinic to pursue other forms of healing in 1930, his colleagues thought that he had become insane. He had discovered, as do most genuine healers that medical science doesn’t differentiate between a temporary cure and holistic healing, which directly treats the source of the problem. Similar to Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, Dr Bach’s mentor, the famous German physician who discovered homeopathy and greatly influenced him, Dr. Bach traveled a lonely path, in which, few people understood what he was trying to achieve.

He devoted himself fully to finding remedies and perfecting his method of Flower Healing. This is also the time when he became a healer and a shaman. He began to understand illness as signposts to help us along the path of life.

Similar to Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, Dr. Bach also healed himself with the subtle energy of the flowers, asking for help and guidance from the Divine. He often deliberately put himself into a state of disharmony and illness and was “sent” to find the right flower to heal himself. Dr. Bach was deeply connected to his spiritual Self. He lived a truly inspired life, intuitively finding the right flowers when he experienced a symptom himself. His path demonstrates the typical progress in a healer and shaman’s initiation.

Only those who can heal themselves are true healers!

 

What are Bach Flower Remedies?

Still, today, many people assume that Bach Flower Remedies are just another form of herbal medicine.  Even some of the Bach Flower practitioners themselves believe this, often prescribing the Bach Flower remedies like a doctor would prescribe aspirin or antibiotics. 

Incidentally, as the word “anti bios” infers, this type of medicine is “against life” and in the long term does not effect a cure, but only alleviates the symptoms for a while.

Bach Flower therapy is the opposite of “anti bios”. It is life supporting and gentle. It not only works on the physical level of the body, but most importantly, passes information to the soul, the subtle body. The principle is similar to that of homeopathy: every remedy carries information that is submitted as an impulse within seconds through the mucous membrane directly to the brain like verbal information.

To demonstrate and explain this better, we can use as an example a name card, or some other printed matter. The paper and the ink attach, or secure the information to be given to others. The most important function of a name card is to pass on information. The paper and ink can be chemically analyzed, but not the information. Similarly, the liquids in Bach Flower remedies are only the carriers of information that is transferred directly from living plants and flowers and, of course, cannot be analyzed chemically. We could also use a cassette tape as an example.  The tape can be chemically analyzed but not the music. However, we purchase the tape to enjoy the music, not to analyze the material that the tape is made of. 

Most Bach Flower remedies are exposed to sunlight and the information they contain, through the energy of the sun’s light, is “uploaded” to the carrier substance, water. Bach Flower Remedies thus carry living information. The plants’ signatures and colours can give us a hint of the principle of their message beforehand. The bright yellow of the Rock Rose, for example, is the colour for clarity and thus affects the ability to be fully alert. This has also been tested with Colour Therapy.

Dr. Bach’s prediction stated, “This method of treatment is the medicine of the future and it will spread throughout the world”.

 “Final and complete healing will come from within, from the Soul itself, which by His beneficence radiates harmony throughout the personality when allowed to do so,”

Bach Flower Therapy is not just another type of herbal medicine!

To really heal someone, the body and the soul must be treated at the same time. The importance of the connection between the body and soul must be understood, because a symptom only appears when the body is no longer in accord with the soul’s path. To heal is to comprehend and interpret the message that the symptom is trying to convey to the individual - not to give the person a pill to swallow that momentarily takes away the pain and “overwrites” the information the soul tries to submit. 

No chemical medicine can ultimately heal; no pill can restore health.  We can receive help or counseling from others but, ultimately, we can only heal ourselves because true healing not only has to do with the body, but also encompasses the totality of a person, mind, body and spirit. The subtle frequencies of Bach Flowers transmit information to a person’s energy field, harmonizing the connection between body and soul. This connection is where all illness begins and eventually ends.

In the 23 years that I have worked with Dr. Bach’s remedies, and with other subtle healing arts, such as Homeopathy and Colour Therapy etc., I have found that the significant difference between the Flower remedies and allopathic medicine is that they work on completely different levels. Allopathic medicine influences the body’s chemistry, while subtle remedies give information to the whole being. Subtle remedies change the entire magnetic energy field around a person and from there the healing process begins.

Within various healing practices, the methods for treatment and progress of each therapy sometimes differ completely.

Allopathic medicine’s primary function is to alleviate pain, which is what most people want, and chemically restore the body’s factory. If we examine, however, the effects of antibiotics on the body that are used often and long term, we can clearly see the difference between the two methods. Antibiotics encapsulate the poison or infection within the body, stored in the tissue or the joints. Some seven years or so later, the poison is again released into the body and the problem begins anew.

Allopathic medicine is unable to heal a person, but only cures symptoms in the body. A “cure”, despite the name, doesn’t last very long and people become sick again and again. If we want to heal and move beyond illness, we have to understand that illness is not a chemical process and people can’t be healed by a chemical solution.

The energy information passed by subtle Bach Flower remedies reach the source of symptoms directly. Subtle remedies stimulate the body to eliminate poisons. At times, they may trigger a “healing crisis”, which is when symptoms appear to get worse before they get better. In cases of acne, for example, the outbreaks may appear to get worse during the first couple of weeks of therapy. This is because the poison in the blood causing the pimples on the physical level is coming out. Yet, of course, this is not the only cause of the illness.  But let’s look at the language of the symptoms a bit later on.

Bach Flower therapy is not just a remedy to stop pain or to get back to “feeling normal”, as fast as possible. Most people think of themselves as “normal”, which means they have agreed to live within a certain framework, the norm, as dictated by society and religion. Yet, it is neither natural nor nourishing for our spirits to live in this kind of ‘norm’ with so many limitations and rules. Bach Flowers help us discover our true nature again, to live spontaneously and naturally, and to rediscover the true meaning of life on this planet Earth.

 

Working with positive key words

In Europe, Bach Flower Therapy has been widely known and practiced for over 20 years. Today, it is becoming more and more valued throughout the world. I have personally been involved in teaching this wonderful healing method since its beginnings in Europe. For the past 12 years I have lived in Asia and, recently, to my great delight, I have seen Bach Flowers in Singapore. Coincidentally, friends in Malaysia introduced me to the woman responsible for introducing Bach Flowers to this region.

The ultimate goal of Bach Therapy is to bring holistic healing to the body, mind, and soul and to harmonize the positive and negative aspects within a person. There are general key words for each character type, both “positive” and “negative”.

Each category or type’s positive key words refer to those living in harmony with themselves and their environment. The negative key words give us indications of the traits, which can appear if a person is not living in accord or harmony with their true nature and life’s path. 

Unfortunately, many therapists choose to work mainly with the negative key words used in Bach Remedies, which, in fact, is contradictory to the whole purpose of the therapy. If a person is given a list of only their negative aspects, it may cause them to become offended, angry, or even depressed. I have heard many negative reactions from friends who have been treated in this way.

One stated: “I am not as cruel as they describe me, and I don’t feel that I want to take the remedy!” Hence, the remedy was left on the shelf and an opportunity for healing missed.

Fortunately, I have had the opportunity to talk to my friends and explain this subtle healing method from a more positive, spiritual and holistic point of view.

The error of many Bach Flower therapists is that they don’t truly understand Dr. Bach’s philosophy, or how much he was influenced by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. 

Such therapists mistakenly believe that the remedies “fight something” as do the chemical prescriptions we receive for pain, fever, or headaches. But Bach Flowers have a subtle energy that works within the energy-field of the human body, totally different from the chemical reaction of allopathic medicine.

Using life-supporting key words, I prefer to create an atmosphere of trust and openness with my patients. If hearing only the negative key words of the flower Holly, for example, which includes Jealousy, Hatred, Envy and Depression, of course, patients will react negatively. The key words that I use for Holly are Love, Generosity and Joy. 

It is more helpful and healing for patients to identify with the positive aspects of a remedy. Positive key words can also be used as affirmations to help people to acknowledge and practice their more constructive character traits. Many people lack a healthy self-esteem, and if you ask them to list their positive and negative attributes, the negative list is usually much longer.

Negative key words are simply guides to possible outcomes of untreated imbalances and are sometimes exaggerated to make a point. Using solely negative key words is not, in my opinion, in the spirit of Dr. Bach’s philosophy, nor the message of the flowers. It has regretfully been my experience that, in Europe, official centers tend to use the remedies in this way; more and more often, Bach Flower remedies are being treated as alternative, herbal or phytotherapeutic remedies.

 

The healing message of the Bach Flower Remedies

The more I witness and work with the healing power of the Bach Flower Remedies, the more I understand Dr. Bach’s message that flower therapy is not meant to fight illness, but to support the harmony between the body and the soul. Illness cannot grow, if one has no affinity with it and the person is in harmony and aligned to her or his spiritual goal. Illness is an expression of disharmony, and as such, is both teacher and guide. If we understand the symptom, the healing process can start.

As lived and practiced by Ghandi, Dr. Martin Luther King and other highly enlightened souls, fighting does not achieve anything, but always brings loss. The whole allopathic system is based on fighting disease, and so from a spiritual point of view it can never be successful.

The energy frequency of the Flower Remedies enhances the life qualities that we need under certain circumstances to courageously face whatever appears in our life. It helps us to honestly see our life path: to realize that we are here to evolve, to eventually reconnect with the Divine and meet our true self that lies beyond the veil of the three-dimensional illusion.

The Bach Flower and other subtle healing systems, such as the Australian Bush flower essences, Gem stone essences, homeopathic remedies and many others, are, in my opinion, the only way to truly heal, as healing always includes the whole person – body, soul and spirit - not just the body.

   

The Language of Illness

“There is no true healing unless there is a change in outlook, peace of mind and inner happiness,” Dr. Edward Bach

Every physical symptom is here to tell us that something is not right. It is like the little red light in a car that blinks a warning when there is something wrong with the engine.

Imagine you are driving your car and the red light comes on. You stop at the nearest garage and tell the attendant that the light is blinking and you don’t want it to blink! So the attendant says, “No problem, let’s take it out!” and promptly removes it so it no longer blinks.  About an hour later, while driving on, you suddenly hear a strange sound and foul smelling smoke pours from the engine. You have to immediately stop the car and get out fast before it explodes.

You may laugh. Of course, you wouldn’t do such an incredulous thing! You would know that the red light is not there as a distraction that simply must be removed, but serves as a warning for you to repair your engine. Ironically, this is exactly what we do in allopathic medicine when we take a pain killer.

Pain is the warning light and if you just stop the pain - the blinking - the problem causing the pain goes unresolved. Most people never take the time to listen to their symptoms, to hear what they are telling them. So the symptoms return in a more intense form. Even then, people seldom listen, and instead return to their doctor for more and stronger painkillers and medication.

This is how the vicious circle starts: pain, more pain, medicine, more and stronger medicine. The more medicine taken the more ill the body becomes. The cause of the illness remains undiscovered and untreated and the drugs’ side effects make the body the ideal “soil” for even more ill making parasites.

Thus people carry on with their daily agendas, not realizing it is only a matter of time before they will again become ill. In addition, they continue eating poor quality food or food that is toxic to the body. Nobody tells us that what we eat has a direct effect on our health. Instead, we are bombarded with advertisements encouraging us to eat “fast food”. This processed food is actually pure poison, especially when it is cooked or heated in a microwave oven. Sugar, table salt, soft-drinks, aspartame used as a substitute for sugar, sweetened foods, and practically all processed and canned food, are extremely unhealthy. The older we get, and the longer our bodies are exposed to this poison we call food, the more ill we become. Statistics prove this in an indisputable and frightening way.

Illness is a result of disharmony and the abandonment of a naturally balanced regime for the body and soul, and our life path. Disharmony begins within our consciousness, at the informational level, before manifesting in the physical body. The body reflects all aspects of consciousness, as well as the processes and changes that are going on within consciousness. If our consciousness falls into negativity, this becomes visible and tangible in the form of physical symptoms.

Every symptom that manifests in the body is trying to give us a message. To understand this message is crucial to healing. If one understands what the body is trying to tell us and takes the appropriate action, the illness is unable to “take root” and healing will take place.

Healing is connected with “holiness” or “wholeness” and involves practicing a spiritual discipline. True health includes the whole being: body, soul and spirit; in other words, our four bodies: our physical, mental - emotional and spiritual bodies. Symptoms warn us that the balance between our four bodies is disturbed. They often materialize as an energy disorder in the emotional or physical body to tell that there is a disturbance in the harmony of our being.

The process of healing requires our active cooperation and participation, instead of handing over responsibility for our health to doctors. In a medical “cure” we allow doctors to make the decisions for us, giving our power away. In healing, we take back our power, taking responsibility for our own well being.

Holistic remedies, such as the Bach Flower Therapy, heal because they encompass and treat all of our four bodies in the process. A Bach Flower therapist should be able to investigate and heal traumas or dogmatic stuck belief systems, which are harming the person.  Therapists should also be able to use visualization, and help the person transmute old behaviour patterns. They should understand the subtle, but powerful potential of Bach Flowers, in healing and not use them like painkillers “against” something.

Again and again, I have seen people selling Bach Flowers mainly as a money-making business, dispensing remedies like a pharmacist in a drugstore. They don’t understand the different effects of this subtle therapy and think the Bach Flower therapy is similar to other herbal medicine – which it certainly is not. Often they ask clients to choose up to six different flowers, which they mix together, often including the Rescue remedy, which in itself consists of five different flowers. The patient often returns home with a remedy mixture, including the Rescue Remedy, which may add up to 10, 12, or even more flowers.  

In older books on Bach Flower therapy, such as Philip M. Chancellor’s  “Bach Flower Remedies” (first printed in 1971), most of the practical examples give only two to three flower remedies, with a maximum of four - which is usually added later on.

Each flower triggers a healing process, and if too many are used, the process becomes totally confused and healing can’t take place. The information transmitted becomes so complex and indecipherable that the soul can’t understand or absorb the varying information.

An effective Bach Flower remedy consists of a strong personality flower supported by one or two other flowers. This may involve choosing one character remedy, such as Beech, Oak, Elm or Agrimony, with one or two supporting flowers, for example, Honeysuckle to let go of negativity, or Star of Bethlehem to bring the system back into flow, releasing blockages, and supporting the healing process.

To quote Thorwald Dethlefsen and Dr. Rüdiger Dahlke in “The Healing Power of Illness – The Meaning of Symptoms and how to interpret them:”

 “To understand the language of illness is uncomfortable; it deprives one of illness as an alibi for unresolved problems.”

I recommend their book as a prerequisite for those involved in holistic healing methods, because it explains in detail the causes of different symptoms and why people manifest them. In my opinion, it is only after this clearly understood and integrated that a person is able to be a holistic healer. 

Every thing has its purpose, but sometimes it isn’t able to unfold on its own! Take, for example, seeds – the beginning of all plant life on the physical level, as well as physical life. If you have wonderful seeds, with all the possibilities in them, but you let them fall on rocks or in an unsuitable environment, they won’t have the soil to grow. I once tried to grow lavender in my garden in Chiang Mai, but the soil was not conducive for this kind of plant, so it didn’t grow. 

As we know, every seed needs the right climate and a fertile environment to grow!

Similarly all bacteria and viruses need a particular environment to grow and affect the body. If we are healthy and happy, there is no prerequisite for bacteria or a virus to grow because the immune system is strong. However, when we are depressed or fearful, the immune system becomes weak and fosters the right “soil” for illness to spread.

If a person has the created “environment” of a negative program based on resisting one’s life path of the soul, living in fear, depression and denial, illness has a chance to “take root” and grow. This is also true of other disease-carrying parasites, like rats, for example. They flourish only in polluted environments, and threaten the health of the inhabitants.

Bach flowers are truly precious because their information reaches the soul directly. It can be said that the information goes to the person’s control center to harmonize the body, not from a lower frequency of matter, but from the higher frequency of the soul. This is why we feel the effects of the Bach Flowers within seconds upon intake.

Let's give the last word to Dr. Bach:

“The action of these remedies is to raise our vibrations and open up our channels for the reception of the Spiritual Self; to flood our natures with the particular virtue we need, and wash out from us the fault that is causing the harm.

They are able, like beautiful music or any glorious uplifting thing, which gives us inspiration, to raise our very natures, and bring us nearer to our souls and by that very act to bring us peace and relieve our sufferings.

They cure, not by attacking the disease, but by flooding our bodies with the beautiful vibrations of our Higher Nature, in the presence of which, disease melts away as snow in the sunshine.”

 

1. Agrimony

Agrimonia eupatoria

FINDING YOUR TRUE IDENTITY, OPENNESS, AND HUMOUR  

The Agrimony Topic:

The flower essence of the Agrimony plant helps us find our true identity, giving us the qualities of openness, humor and transparency.

Most of us are trained or brainwashed into becoming “normalized”, that is, to behave the way society wants us to. Society’s taboos and dogmas, instilled by the powers that be, are intended to prevent us from becoming our true, spontaneous selves, but to become easily-managed, “good” citizens. The restrictions imposed by tradition, society and religion insist on behavior patterns considered “normal” but which often are the opposite of natural or healthy.

People who need the Agrimony flower remedy are lost in the maze of rules and regulations imposed by authority figures like parents, teachers, religious figures, business leaders and others. They find themselves forever playing roles and adopting different identities to please everyone so that they will not be rejected, abandoned or punished. They want to remain, at all costs, part of the herd. Blocked Agrimony types often take on the role of the comedian to entertain and amuse others, but behind the mask they are usually very sad and lonely people.

The word “person” comes from the Latin word “persona” which means “a character or mask assumed to show others”. “Personare”, in Latin, thus can be interpreted as “talking through the mask”. Most people identify with their “persona” and, when one says “I am a person”, without realizing it, he or she is saying “I am the mask.”  People rarely become aware of the spiritual being they truly are, so lost are they in identification within their mirage of masks they wear.

We do have a personality – or many, but this is not who we truly are. We have emotions, but this is not who we are either. We have a body, two arms, two legs, but they are not who we are. This becomes easier to understand if we ask ourselves “Am I my body?” or “Am I my mind?” or “Am I my emotions?” Clearly we have to understand that we have a personality, we have a body, we have emotions – but none of these represent who we truly are!

To evolve, we have to find out who this “I am” really is, hiding behind our masks, behind our personalities. We can only see this true “I” when we observe clearly and with detachment our mask or, better still, the many different masks we alternately wear. Our first task is to penetrate the illusions of the personality!

As long as we identify with, or are glamorized by our masks, we cannot find our true identity, and real happiness and peace escapes us. Often, without even being aware of it, we change character from moment to moment, from one mask to another, often to please or impress others according to our belief system, our “mind program”. When someone asks us: “Who are you?” we immediately identify ourselves with the roles we have played in the past, selecting those we think will favorably impress or please them. We have attended such and such a school, have studied certain subjects, are the fiancé, husband or wife of a certain person and so on.

We might call ourselves lawyer, tailor, carpenter, housewife or medical doctor, but none of these labels is who we truly are. We also use different masks according to whom we are with and what effect we want to have on that particular person. If we want to appear intellectual, we list those accomplishments which will support this picture. If we become intimate with a new lover, we use an entirely different language to represent our past to please him/her than we would use to introduce ourselves to a new business partner.

We change our masks with every new person or situation that arises because we are programmed since early childhood to believe we need the approval of others to survive. Now and then we become fleetingly aware of our masks when, for example, we find ourselves in an entirely new situation or with new people we can’t categorize and frantically search our cast of characters, trying to find the most appropriate mask to adopt for the present circumstances. 

The process is usually exhausting. Sometimes we find ourselves totally confused when we meet two people at the same time, to whom we have presented entirely different personas. Which mask should we choose? This situation is extremely uncomfortable for the blocked Agrimony types and they normally try to escape as quickly as possible with some kind of joke and excuse.

Behind all this role-playing, unredeemed Agrimony characters intuitively feel that something is not as it should be. They try to cover up the emptiness behind their false identity by constantly creating new and more glamorous masks to entertain those around them so that they will continue to be admired. This game is easy to observe and see through in places like Hollywood’s film studios, but not so easy in daily life.

Trying to please others is an attempt to fill the loneliness behind the mask. Without the approval of others, blocked Agrimony people are lost and fall into deep depression. In the outside world, they continue trying to entertain others, telling jokes and pretending everything is fine. But when alone, they fall pray to addictions such as heavy hidden drinking, smoking and watching far too much TV, anything to abridge the time spent alone.

Agrimony types often do things they do not really want to do merely to “buy” the friendship of others. Rather than be alone, they spend time with people whose company they do not really enjoy.

They should realize that when they die, or leave the physical body, they become completely exposed for anyone in the spirit realm to “read”. Nothing can be hidden any longer! Even while in their physical body, they are already ‘open books’ for those able to “see” auras, for example, as more and more people now can. Even people who can’t visually see auras, often intuitively perceive pictures of what Agrimony masks are attempting to cover up. Sensitive people can sense that certain “emptiness” in the unredeemed Agrimony types. Although they may sometimes feel compassion, they avoid these kinds of people and certainly don’t want them as friends to have around all the time. It would be much better and in the end less painful for blocked Agrimony types to learn openness and honesty in this lifetime as loneliness and emptiness do not lead to a happy old age.

Agrimony types are often invited to superficial parties to play the entertainer. They are willing to make fools of themselves to make others laugh and at least temporarily pretend to “have fun” and escape from their own emptiness. But they have a great fear of conflicts and of confronting others. Often, those who need Agrimony, give in to others because they want peace at any cost. But this is only a false peace, as they are denying their own desires and neglecting their own well being through their fear of confrontation.

The fear of losing friends is often so strong that the unredeemed Agrimony people are willing to try anything to please, even if it means humiliating themselves.  Of course, this can never lead to a “happy ending”; so they have no true friends, only those who are also weak or who often secretly look down on them, while using them for their own games or for their own amusement.  When tired of their “playthings”, they drop them like discarded toys and move on to new and fresh amusements. And, yet again, the blocked Agrimony types find themselves lonely and in deep depression.

Agrimony personalities come into this lifetime needing to learn honesty, openness and the ability to confront; then, true friends can love them despite their shortcomings and mistakes. No human being can be free of mistakes. On the contrary, we are here to learn and evolve – and what better way is there to learn than by our mistakes?!

It shows intelligence if we learn from our mistakes. It is a form of stupidity to keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. This theme we find in the topic of Chestnut Bud. Have the confidence to try something even if you risk making mistakes and talk about your errors with your friends, so they can also learn from you! If you pretend to be perfect, people don’t want to be around you because they are bored by this kind of lie.

If Agrimony types have the courage to discard their masks, and to stop hiding behind them, they can begin to explore who they really are – sensitive and wonderful human beings, with a great sense of humour; people who are open and spontaneous, true entertainers who are genuinely funny with a good sense of humour that is not “cheap”, macabre, sarcastic or malicious.   

Agrimony people love the glamorous world of the theatre, film industry, and circus. They make talented actors, cabaret artists. However, we often find the blocked Agrimony state in these roles, especially in those who play the role of clown. The bitter satire or sarcasm that they often use to entertain, actually shows the truth of how they really feel. They act out their lives for others to laugh at, as if their pain was just a humorous game.

It is difficult to recognize the symptoms of Agrimony types because they are skilled at appearing carefree and jovial, characteristics not recognized in society as “negative”.  On the contrary, they are often popular, even admired, and always seem in good humor.  Not many can see the suffering behind their masks.

If Agrimony types become famous as actors or entertainers, for example, they may become extravagant and difficult to please. Then they could turn into just the type of people that they once did anything to please, thus inviting other unaware Agrimony individuals to indulge them in order to be popular.

Agrimony people have to learn to see their true reality behind deceptive appearances and the false glow of personality.

 

The redeemed and healthy Agrimony personality:

Healed Agrimony types are wonderful, open people with a genuine sense of humor.  Others can no longer hurt them. They have found their one true self beneath the myriad of masks and identities they have developed to survive and function within society’s dogmatic rules. They still can play different “personas” but do so consciously and not to escape from themselves since in life we have to play different roles in different situations. If one has to go, for example, to a business meeting one doesn’t dress up as though one is going to the beach. So one can slip consciously into the “business role” and, after the meeting, change to the “leisure persona” and go to the beach. Conscious role play is the key!

Agrimony types are transparent in everything they do and have the blessed gift of being able to laugh at themselves, even at their own mistakes. They realize that mistakes are simply challenges to help us to evolve and necessary obstacles for us to overcome to become stronger and grow. 

As they no longer identify with their masks or “persona”, and have no investment in appearing other than what they are, Agrimony characters are spontaneous, pleasant, playful and easy to get along with. They have the ability to fit into any company without losing themselves.

Large numbers of people are usually attracted or fascinated by them because of their multifaceted talents and charisma. These types can play any role without becoming lost in it, or being seduced or corrupted by superficial glamour or fame. Agrimony types have found their true spiritual identity and are authentic in everything they do, always remaining true to themselves.


The Blocked Agrimony State:

When blocked, Agrimony people hide behind masks, playing the clown and entertaining others so as not to be alone. Behind the masks we find sad, lonely people. They might become addicted to alcohol (or other drugs), never admitting it but secretly drinking to excess when alone.  They have lost their true identities and cannot see that something is wrong. Often, they also become sarcastic and bitter, and start to mock everything and hide behind a cynical humor.

Again, it is not easy to recognize the blocked Agrimony types because society accepts their behavior as “normal”.  It has become “the norm” to hide our problems behind a smile and play roles in life, totally unrelated to who we really are. This may be normal for a society that is full of evolution-hostile behavior rules, but it is the antitheses of what our souls want for us. Hence, our spirit rebels and our body begins to produce aching physical symptoms to express our emotional pain.

 

Physical symptoms in the blocked Agrimony condition:

On the physical level, we find the following symptoms in the blocked Agrimony state:

All kinds of skin problems such as itching, rashes, pimples and acne. The skin literally “breaks out” because the true self can no longer be confined in the Agrimony types’ self-made and limiting masks. Often the outbreaks are on the face, for example around the chin area it shows suppressed anger, but also can be found on any part of the body. Even though the person does not want to “lose face”, the physical level reveals the truth!

Another principal problem for Agrimony characters is the dependency on different drugs or alcohol, the latter being more common due to social acceptance. The alcohol and cigarette smoke etc “fog” their brains so they don’t have to see their inner loneliness and emptiness. They also turn on the radio or TV when they come home, so the constant noise gives them the feeling not to be alone.

Often Agrimony types are overweight although not heavily obese, at least while young, because they compensate for loneliness by filling up with too much food and drink. When they get older they may give up on themselves and become fat and formless. They no longer have the energy to escape from their self-constructed and supposedly protective prison.

Female Agrimony types sometimes compensate for overeating by vomiting. Here we can find the emaciated, anorexic or bulimic women who empty the fridge when no-one can see them and then throw up all the food they have just eaten.

Keywords for unresolved Agrimony symptoms:

Hidden worries, skin problems; addiction to drugs like alcohol, cigarettes or other substances; easy going or difficult to please, the “sad clown” who makes others laugh, cynicism, non acceptance of the dark side of life.
