LATIN: Phacelia distans

GOOD FOR: Abuser essence. For abusive people. Works with abusive behavior on any level; particularly violent physical attackers.

DID YOU KNOW:

Learning for you is a highly visual experience as well as hearing what is said. You do well in a standard class room situation. Excellent potential to perceive people and their actions and reactions, this is based upon your alert optical and listening skills.

THE HEALTHY YOU:

Usually positive by nature, you tend to be more spiritually oriented, interested in metaphysics, or in the macrocosm from a philosophical perspective. Music is a powerful healing tool and helps you to de-stress. Music can bring harmony back to you in an emotional sense. Meditation helps you center and quiet yourself. Focused like a laser with concentration well developed, you are able to produce results. A "big thinker" you ponder the universe in all its diversity. Many scientists have this type of mentality.

THE UNHEALTHY YOU:

Or, just the opposite; you may be very rigid in your thinking processes. Your way of seeing the world isn't the ONLY way. You must try and be flexible and accept or at least respect other people's belief system. In the extreme, you can become a fanatic in that what you believe is the right away. Instead, the world is based upon many different realities and belief systems and you need to be graceful and flexible in accepting this about it. If not, you will tend to become a 'groupie' within some framework that some may see a brainwashing or at best, fanatical.

PROVING:

Because sexual attacks occur every 45 seconds in this country, and spousal abuse is at an all-time high, I wanted to discuss two very powerful essences that may help the abuser/attacker and the victim/survivor. They are Scorpionweed for the abuser (male or female) and Owls Clover for the victim/survivor.

COMMENTARY:

This essence may well prove to be the ABUSER's essence. I found the Scorpionweed growing amongst the Owls Clover (the victim/codependent essence) on the Sonoran Desert north of Phoenix. Owls Clover is a parasitic plant and was growing well with the Scorpionweed.

There is a dance between the abuser and the abused victim. Scorpionweed may be able to break the habit pattern in the abuser, while at the same time, the abused victim should take Owls Clover.

This essence is definitely a root chakra remedy--one of one's own survival is at stake and they are going to make sure they survive or else--even at someone else's expense. The Navel chakra is about sexuality issues, so this may help those who have been sexually abused and have turned abusive in order to protect themselves from further attack--possibly a woman whose been raped or incested, so she erects her strong, male energy and comes across hard, strong, confident and taking no bullshit from men, in particular. This essence may help "soften" this type of woman who is too much into her male for reasons of protection and allow her to get back in touch with her feminine, but this needs further proving. At this point, it's only a theory.

Scorpionweed can definitely melts the hardened walls, regardless of gender, but specifically, this essence can be given to male abusers--be it physical, mental, emotional abuse--it doesn't matter. Conversely, if the woman is the abuser, this essence should also be considered in the same way for her. School yard bullies or gangster type mentality might also be considered, although red/yellow Bromeliad is a specific for the gangster mentality. Scorpionweed is a softer less violent version of red/yellow Bromeliad essence in this arena of application.

SYMBOLIC: The plant curls up and around, just like a scorpion carries it's tail high and curled above his back when he's threatened and about ready to deliver a sting. The plant is very hairy and is very masculine looking, although the flowers are very delicate looking--so there is a masculine/feminine energy to this, although at first observation, it comes across as very male, aggressive looking and threatening in repose.

HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES: Nux Vomica, Sulphur, Mercurius, Arsenicum

Prover #1:

1. Impatience with a feeling of being controlled by others. Felt some anger, tired of others (family members in particulars, their foibles and old patterns, old stuff.) Felt the need to defend myself. Tightness in stomach. Intense mental/internal dialogue with self.

Prover #2:

1. Vision of pretty, dainty flowers; pink, gently blowing in breeze.
2. Taste, very light and delicate.
3. Feeling safe and gentle with security; light not heavy.
4. This week started having diarrhea which I haven't had for many months. Under stress this week--I'm moving--could be that instead of remedy.

Prover #3:

1. More impatient or intolerant of others and their perceptions. I had an opinion for everyone else's opinion--bitchy and direct.
2. I was impatient with others, people, all of creation.
3. I was more acutely aware of these emotion in my "quiet time" between 9 pm to 10 pm.

4. MENTAL ACTIVITY: thoughts are slower but more clear. There is a knowing from the heart, however judgmental. Thoughts in my head integrate easily with thoughts of my heart but not easier to cope with my impatience. More creative thoughts are processable. Can absorb sort a lot of different perceptions. I'm very direct and abrupt.

5. PHYSICAL SENSATIONS: more energy in heart, brow and throat chakra areas. Wanting to stay in open areas. Felt restricted in cabs at work, in stores. Claustrophobic, but experienced this age 20 to 23 (she's in her 30's now). The sensation starts in the heart and moves to throat, third eye and between the shoulders to the arms. Craved more apple juice and water. My sleep was more relaxed feeling and I was secure in my sleep--more than normal.

6. SPIRITUAL CONSIDERATIONS: Very Ego based, but not of others. I'm moving to a gentler acceptance of self. I'm more aware of peoples needs and I wanted to tell them how high to jump and when! I wanted to be left alone to seek peace by myself. Spiritually, I felt expansive, but mentally more impatient, and physically I wanted more movement and had more energy.

7. RUBRICS: Arms, back, chest, emotions, eyes, heart, larynx, lungs, mind/mental, psychic/clairvoyant, shoulders, whole-brained remedy, heart, lungs throat remedy.
8. Pattern of imbalance that it would address: self-centeredness, fear of people, lack of compassion.
9. Healing pattern is being able to think more with the heart. The mind thoughts were brutal toward others.

10. OTHER: this essence surfaced as a all knowing Ego/Cod complex, male, red, energetic. Being on the dish of compassion. Felt like a supreme BITCH!

Prover #4:

1. I was very affected in the first (Root chakra) and second (Navel) chakras. My bladder felt very sensitive. I was very sexually sensitive as well. There did not appear to be any symptoms at night that were unusual. My energy felt very strong and I slept well at night. My emotions were stabilized and my mind felt very strong. I have felt stronger spiritually with my intuition and clairvoyance increasing and more in touch with it.

2. I felt no different physical symptoms. My bowels have been more normal than they have in months and I have had frequent urination with bladder sensitivity (which I had a little of in Essence C).

3. I felt the 1st, 2nd and 6th (Brow) chakra were most affected, possibly the third (Solar Plexus).

4. I cannot state a major sphere of influence or define any rubrics for sure (would consider intestines, bladder). I simply was not as affected by this remedy as I was C, and I took this one longer (5 or 6 days). I quite due to bladder symptoms. NOTE: Prover #4 has long case history of bladder infections.
