Spiraea japonica
Flower Essence
Spiraea japonica
Definition:
Latin temperament - to balance and
be in command of one’s temper.
Like the Aires energy, that blows, subsides,
and all is forgotten.
Especially suitable for drug and alcohol abusers,
people in non-violence programs, etc.
A flower essence, made 15 December 1998, from a spiraea
japonica plant growing under the clothes line in the back yard at
the Buchanan Street, Wadestown, house. Made at the same time
as the
Fescue Grass essence.
The “Latin temperament” is well-known within our society, the
“hair-trigger temper” that is quick to take offence, and (usually),
quick to allow the incident to “blow over”.
Often (but not always) associated with men, and also often fueled
by alcohol consumption. It is often the wives and families of such
men who bear the brunt of the consequences of this. However,
domestic violence is now much less socially acceptable than it
used to be. Nowadays, certainly here in New Zealand, the Police
take a much harder line with such offenders, whereas in former
times everyone would “look the other way”.
This essence is for helping people such as this, who need to learn to
take responsibility for their actions.
The New Zealand movie “Once were Warriors” comes to mind when
thinking of the issue of domestic violence. Note that this essence is
not about domestic violence as such, but rather about fast-to-anger
in general.
For the victims of such violence, the
Strawberry Cactus essence,
for guilt, is recommended, especially for its aspect of self-blame by
the victim.
