Scleranthus- Addressing Ambiguity and Indecision

By admin | Comments Off

Scleranthus Flower Essence

Do you find you find it hard to make a decision? Are you constantly torn when you need to make a choice between two things?  We as a society are so inundated with choices and we are constantly bombarded with  information it is no wonder we get lost in choice. This can lead to short term or chronic ambiguity and hesitation, leaving open loops in the mind.

Open loops whether we know it or not drains our energy.  By being able to come to a decision and close the loop we can mentally move on to the next thing. For this condition consider using scleranthus one of Bach’s 12 Helper essences. Here is what Bach said in regards to people who need scleranthus; “Those who suffer much from being able to decide from between two things, first one thing seems right and then another.”

If this statement resonates with you consider a dose of scleranthus.  I have seen it work wonders for short term decision making.  Often we know the answer we seek, yet some part of us does not come into alignment and we are unable to make a clear decision.  This is when scleranthus can swiftly come to the rescue and help us get to a place where choices become clear.  This essence is also great for people who suffer from chronic indecisiveness. Used therapeutically over a period of months, it will work wonders to rectify this problem.

Scleranthus helps with alignment and balance on the physical level as well. For this reason it is a great essence to use when practicing yoga asanas. It is also a key essence in my Yoga Blend, a combination remedy that supports you in deepening your yoga practice.
