Bach Flower Willow (Salix Vitellina)
Human nature dictates that each of us has needed this Bach Flower Remedy at some time. It can occur when another's good fortune contrasts too sharply with our own situation and jealously and resentment overtake us.
At those times, we rail at our fate and blame everything and everyone but ourselves for our situation. Self-pity is our over-riding emotion. We may feel so resentful that we're tempted to put an end to someone else's cheerfulness by doing something to spoil their day!
Quite obviously, we aren't happy and comfortable with ourselves. A few doses of this Bach Flower Essence can bring us back to our normal state.
When the negative Willow state becomes chronic, it can have a destructive effect on the sufferer - and on everyone around him. Willow is a state in which feelings are powerfully projected into the outside world.
In this state, people are very good at making demands, but never see a need to reciprocate. They criticize to an extent that they finally alienate all those who once tried to help them. Eventually, people grow tired of trying and withdraw.
Thus, the chronic Willow type becomes more isolate, and more embittered over the injustices in his or her life.
He holds grudges, sometimes for years, and sometimes for reasons that have become unclear. Rather than erupting and "having it out" with someone, he will smoulder and emit clouds of toxic energy.
Because he is a victim, he will never take responsibility or look within to see the reasons for his many failures. As do those in other negative flower essence states, this personality refuses to accept guidance from his or her Higher Self.
Often, people who have not experienced the success they wished for fall into the negative Willow State as they meet the midpoint in life. They bemoan promotions not received, status not attained, possessions not owned. Those who place a high value on physical attractiveness bewail the fact that his or her looks are fading.
Those being treated with this Bach Flower Remedy will gradually come to see that everything he or she experiences is the outcome of personal thoughts being projected into the outer world, and will begin working to change those thoughts. He will learn to deliberately focus on the positive rather than the negative, and thus begin to bring about positive changes.
Once transformed to the positive state, this person will take responsibility for his or her own fate. He will cease being a victim, and will become the master of his own fate. Thus, he will begin once again to enjoy life.
Resentment, embitterment, 'Poor old me!'.
