Flower Essence for Shy Students

In this post I will cover a variety of Single Flower Essences for students. This post will address topics such as studying, learning, focus and concentration. These suggestions should be considered adjuncts to a regime of diligence, interest and effort in regards to school and studying. 

When shy students exhibit low self esteem and low self confidence   the pressure of learning may only re-enforce a false belief that they are not capable of the succeeding in school.  Usually they are capable but have yet to find their groove within the structured environment of school. This can be challenging especially for those sensitive students who are easily influenced by their environment.

Clematis- this is the remedy of choice for the dreamer, for the student who has trouble staying connected to what is going on. It helps one to remain present, connected and alleviate mental fog.

Elm- is the stress of what is requested of you testing you ability to maintain your poise. Do you feel unable to handle the pressure of tests and the testing environment? Consider elm to help you in times like these.

Gentian- Has a low test score got you down? Is there a subject you struggle with and just can't seem to get right? Gentian, encourages faith, hope and perseverance in the face of such challenges.

Larch- The power of larch is that it supports us in overcoming the fear of failure. Often those needing this remedy are perfectly capable yet lack the needed confidence to achieve their desired results.

Wild Rose- Has the system your in produced apathy? When we feel we are on the fringe and neglected we can become apathetic and this cycle will feed itself.  Wild rose helps us confront apathy and move forward with renewed interest and vitality. 

Water Violet- I am including this often overlooked essence because it touches on key emotions common with shy and/or sensitive people. They tend to withdraw and avoid confrontation and competition and school has become an increasingly competitive environment.  This essence will also assist those of a sensitive nature to break out and form social bonds, this can greatly increase their confidence and lead to an overall improvement in school. Consider this essence for the withdrawn shy, sensitive soul. 


Everyone is unique and these remedies are presented as possible options for the shy student who is plagued by low self esteem and low self confidence.

Clematis flower essence for ADD/ADHD

What is ADD/ADHD? That is a question with many different answers. We will focus on the how the flower essence of Clematis can help people with this common condition.


CLEMATIS

• Lack of interest in present
• Daydreaming/zoning out
• Difficulty paying attention
• Poor memory

This is a brief list of the 'symptoms' of ADD/ADHD, one can find nuances to this list as well. We are told it is a chemical imbalance in the brain that is the cause. Could be true might not be true. The truth of the official story is not in question, nor is the label ADD/ADHD. We will look at it as a way to describe behavior and not let the label limit or define us.

One of the great lessons we can take from the work of Dr. Bach is to look at what is going on, the symptoms in the behavior and emotions related to the situation. Bach was less interested in disease than in his patients reaction to his disease and how it made him/her feel.

Lets take this approach to ADD/ADHD and see what Clematis flower essence can tell us.

Symptoms Clematis Treats:

• Dreaminess, not fully awake
• Drowsy; listless
• Far away; stuck in thought
• Half hearing what is said

If you suffer from any of these symptoms Clematis flower essence might be of use in helping you to stay present and engaged in the world and your work.

Essences for people with ADD and ADHD with Bach Flower Remedies Part 1

Using Bach Flower Remedies for focus, concentration and learning.

Chestnut Bud

If you suffer from or know someone suffering from the symptoms related to ADD/ADHD there are many options available to help you live a better life. It is important to review diet especially the intake of caffeine, refined sugars, gluten and processed foods. These substances should be greatly reduced as they affect the ability to concentrate and focus. Since this blog is about flower remedies I have made a list of Bach Remedies that support focus and concentration. I have also included 3 remedies from FES. This is a partial list and a good starting point to build on.

Chestnut Bud: This is a powerful remedy is useful for learning especially when the person makes the same mistakes repeatedly but fails to learn from them. Chestnut bud is good for all types of learning disabilities. This premier Bach remedy for learning is also good for concentration and attention.

Clematis: This essence is for the dreamer; the person whose head always seems to be in the clouds. Clematis can help one be present, focused and attentive to the task at hand. This remedy is good for people who drift off, whether from lack of interest or mental laziness.

Gentian: This essence helps to bring confidence to a person after a setback; gentian enhances perseverance, confidence and faith. Oh how school has become a competitive environment and the drive for perfection a near pathology. Thank goodness for the support of gentian. The fact of life is there are setbacks but they don't need to stop you in your tracks. 

Gorse: This is a powerful remedy for treating pessimism and a complete sense of hopelessness. People suffering in this state see no point in trying because they lack faith in a positive resolution to their challenge. This remedy builds optimism by supporting a sunnier outlook on life.
