#16, HONEYSUCKLE Remedy, Spiritual Positive,
Capacity for Change and
Ability to establish links.

after "Bach Flower Therapy: Theory and Practice"
by Mechthild Scheffer

PREFACE
This page is an example of how one can take the original description of the spiritual Principle addressed by the specified Bach Flower Remedy noted in the reference, at the bottom of this page, and reframe it into a learning tool to assist you to build a new coping skill --- a constructive attitude and behavior pattern.

The description in the book is BEST for a person who has the energy block or is going through a session to release that block. The description by Scheffer is largely of what a destructive attitude and pattern of the spiritual Principle would be like if one had this particular type of energy block. That description enables awareness to increase and allows the Reptilian Structure to more inclusively bring together the components of the block concerned, when indicated, so that it can be released.

AFTER the energy block is gone, one May still find it helpful to counter the still present IMPRINTING that has also been imposed on the Identity by the person's environment. This is NOT always the case. Only about 37% of my clients would benefit from this. Only 11% NEED this benefit to make their improvement assured and hopeful against an environment that encourages the negative Principle. Usually, these are INTENSE people.


HONEYSUCKLE relates to one's Capacity for Change and Ability to establish links.

Learning from the past, valuing it as a resource of experience which has brought one to the present and from which the future can be evermore better lived is a positive Honeysuckle trait. Putting a relevancy on one's efforts, involvements, decisions, failures and successes enables the positive Honeysuckle person to see justice and knowledge as a multi-dimensional dynamic of which they choose to take a part.

Glorifying the past and wanting to remain in the past of one's experiences, or those of others, often embodies an anxiety about one's capability to assume independence and ones ability to share. Continuing to extend one's past dependencies, one secretly hopes that a teacher, parent, sibling, spouse, mentor, or hero returns and assumes the responsibility for all there is and will be. Unsure and doubtful of one's skill in discernment, assertiveness, and innovation --- it seems like so much more desirable for a person in the negative Honeysuckle state to leave the direction of their life to others they have grown to trust.

Looking to Spiritual Guidance from its Higher Self, the Identity factors of the positive Honeysuckle trait person experience the lively, clear, cool head of one who always has an ear for their questions and the most relevant and constructive for them to their degree of understanding. The road may be long yet with the confidence of good directions and helpful signs along the way, one finds it easier to remain patient and persistence than if alone.

At times of opportunity and urgency, it will often be the person who fails to repeat the errors of the past by acknowledging them while being open to the possibilities and practicalities of the present -- who will strive onward and both avoid degradation and burst into survival, freedom, and a more fulfilling life.

Developing a positive Honeysuckle state is encouraged by one's parents and mentors taking the time to encourage and acknowledge the early efforts made towards skill building, emotional experience, and spiritual awareness. The child perceived of and treated as a growing individual who will of necessity grow from a weak, dependent, clumsy form into one which can be strong, independent, and proficient. Part of the frustration which the child must engage is made easier by their hearing from the parent how they also had to face hurdles, encounter challenges, and strive for the differences they desired.

Having learned to share, join in, and be humble --- the person in the positive Honeysuckle state has learned to accept the benefit of others while joining in. They do not allow themselves to feel held hostage to the demands of others in order to escape rejection or abandonment. They know that some persons will not be sincere and can only be trusted when their selfish aims are benefiting. They know that they themselves, or others, as the humans they are, may become sick, be involved in an accident, choose another employment field or location, or die. With Spiritual Guidance as their best mentor, they strive always to enjoy and share their life with others who also respect themselves, the world, and God.


GUIDELINE
If you wish to create your own reframed version of a Bach Remedy spiritual PRINCIPLE description to use for your chosen positive imprinting through repetitive exposure, consider the following.

    • Negative expressions of spiritual states are extremes, not good or bad according to some authoritarian personal election. The positive expression is seldom the opposite of the negative extreme. Look for the difference in context and the improvement in relevancy as an indicator of good choices of words.

    • Personalize your description with words like "I", "She", "My", and others.
