Do you find yourself making the same mistakes - Chestnut Bud can help.....

So Chestnut Bud is the first of the Chestnut remedies that i find hard to get my head around.

There are 4 Chestnut related remedies - Red Chestnut, Chestnut Bud, White Chestnut and Sweet Chestnut.

I do find myself getting confused over which remedy does what which is understandable as they are all in different groups - except Chestnut Bud and White Chestnut who are in the 'Live the day' group.  Red Chestnut is in the Fear group and Sweet Chestnut is in the 'Find Joy and Hope' or the old wording of 'despondency and despair'.

The 38 Flower Remedies Book says:

Chestnut Bud is for failure to learn by experience, leading to an inability to make progress in life.  The person keeps repeating the same mistakes, such as falling over again and again for the wrong partner, or continuing to work in an unsuitable job.  Instead of learning from past mistakes, Chestnut Bud people try to forget them and therefore have no basis on which to make future decisions.  They may suffer recurrent ailments but never question why they keep returning and thus fail to deal with the root cause.


The positive potential of Chestnut Bud, Dr Bach wrote:

'This remedy is to help us to take full advantage of daily experiences and to see ourselves and our mistakes as others do.' 


The positive Chestnut Bud personality observes this or her own mistakes with objectivity, and learns from every experience, gaining knowledge and wisdom so as to move forward in life.  Mentally active, he or she also observes and learns from others.


Definitely something Phallic about the Chestnut Bud.....!  I am sure there are a few of us women out there pissing ourselves at our failure to learn from our mistakes - is it because we are penis lead?!  Sorry you all knew eventually i would get down and dirty......!

Perhaps i should leave it there....
