Say goodbye to self-obsession with Bach Flower Essence Heather.

The heather state can cause individuals to appear self-obsessed. Heather people are extremely sociable and are always looking for new opportunities to make friends. But the darker side of the Heather state will cause people to become obsessive. They will approach strangers in the street and begin to tell them personal problems. Bach Flower Essence Heather helps to bring about mental balance, shifting the focus to understanding other people’s problems in the context of our own.

Situations Bach Flower Essence Heather can help with:

The heather archetype is prone to talking about personal issues at length. While it is essential to be able to talk about our problems in order to deal with them, there is a time and place for doing this. When externalizing personal issues becomes obsessive to the point that other people start avoiding you, this indicates a problem. Heather people typically loathe being alone for any length of time. The isolation associated with the Heather state is brought about by destructive cycles of behavior. Negative behaviors include obsessively targeting certain individuals to talk about troubles. When people are faced with a one-way conversation, they are likely to respond negatively because they feel that they are being talked at. A conversation needs to be a two-way street and not one person talking while another listens. On a more positive note, Heathers are able to talk about what’s troubling them in great detail. But there needs to be a special outlet for this, so that personal issues can be discussed confidentially. If you or someone you know is obsessed with talking about their problems all the time, Bach Flower Essence Heather can help.

Using Bach Flower Essence Heather to break the cycle:

Through using this essence, you can find a solution for being overly self-concerned in the company of others. Through following the recommended daily dosage, you’ll begin to feel you can see each of your problems within a social context. Comparing your personal issues to other people’s experiences in life gives a new sense of perspective. When you know someone extremely well, you will be able to predict what they would do in your situation. The positive aspect of heather enables us to use our own experiences to listen to other people. When we ‘share’ our problems with others we need the ability to listen to their experiences. Bach Flower Essence Heather makes us better listeners, so our personal relationships are given the chance to blossom.
