The aims of this flower essence:
Possessive personal attitude being used to consciously or unconsciously interfere everywhere. I only love you if…
Dr. Bach wrote:
Are you one of those who long to serve the world: who long to open out both arms and bless all around you; who wish to help and comfort and sympathise, and yet for some reason circumstances or people stop you? Do you find that instead of serving many you are held in the grip of but a few, so that your opportunity of giving as fully as you wish is limited: are you getting to that stage when you wish to realise that it is, 'when all men count with you, but none too much?' Then that beautiful blue Chicory of the cornfields will help you to your freedom, the freedom so necessary to us all before we can serve the world. (Free Thyself, 1932)
