Red Chestnut

"For those of whom they are fond they may suffer much" -   Dr Edward Bach, 1936

Excerpt from Bach Flower Reflections...

  I'm thinking of the worst, and every scenario that can go wrong; an accident, a bully, a robbery, or a fire ...  I want my family to be safe at all times and hope that nothing bad happens to them.

  I hear a yelp from the yard, and my dog Harry starts to limp badly.  Oh no. Tears roll down my cheeks. Quick! Call the vet.  I'm trying to comfort my dog while feeling so helpless and trying to imagine the pain he is suffering. Practically in hysterics I talk to friends on the phone. They offer to meet me at the vet's.

  Wondering how the children will take the bad news, and I hope to be back in time to pick them up from school. Cautiously I help Harry into the vehicle, and take large sips of Red Chestnut all the way to the vet's.

  Worried about a loved one, never fear Red Chestnut is here.  It gives us the strength to remain calm and the knowledge that things will work out all right in the end.  It is possible to be a pillar of strength for the dog and children and you will be there when needed, at last feeling better and knowing that help is close to hand. He will get better and I have a long rehab job ahead of me.  Everything will be fine, and there is no need to worry.

  The striking Red Chestnut flower, reminds me of a large distinctive torch - shining and giving a glimmer of hope and reassurance that help is near at hand and all will be well.
