#10, CRAB APPLE Remedy, Spiritual Positive,
Order, Purity and Perfection
after "Bach Flower Therapy: Theory and Practice"
by Mechthild Scheffer
|
PREFACE
This page is an example of how one can take the original description of the spiritual Principle addressed by the specified Bach Flower Remedy noted in the reference, at the bottom of this page, and reframe it into a learning tool to assist you to build a new coping skill --- a constructive attitude and behavior pattern.
The description in the book is BEST for a person who has the energy block or is going through a session to release that block. The description by Scheffer is largely of what a destructive attitude and pattern of the spiritual Principle would be like if one had this particular type of energy block. That description enables awareness to increase and allows the Reptilian Structure to more inclusively bring together the components of the block concerned, when indicated, so that it can be released.
AFTER the energy block is gone, one May still find it helpful to counter the still present IMPRINTING that has also been imposed on the Identity by the person's environment. This is NOT always the case. Only about 37% of my clients would benefit from this. Only 11% (usually the more intense) NEED this benefit to make their improvement assured and hopeful against an environment that encourages the negative Principle.

CRAB APPLE relates to the sphere of order, purity and perfection.
An awareness and discernment about how the world around them, their body, and their inner life can best interact for the good of the whole is reflected by the positive Crab Apple state in others. Developments that occur which are different than expected are acknowledged and put into a constructive and practical perspective.
It pleases them to focus on what is relevant and not be distracted by fears and selfish concerns. This may be something they have just read, or heard, or, a new awareness of their surroundings (avalanche!), or something not planned for (power outage / Who is at the door!). Whatever it is, it is integrated into a view of a larger whole (Options = solution / Ask Spiritual Guidance) and kept in perspective, one factor to another, thereby maintaining their inner strength through self-directness and minimized confusion and anxiety.
The Personality takes a constructive and positive point of view by looking at the whole picture and seeing the immediate details as part of an interrelated package of possibilities and realities. She is able to open her mind, by way of contact with her Higher Self, to more spiritual principles of order and automatically gain distance and calm and see the available options in their degree of practicality and remain peaceful.
The relationship to one's body is in harmony in a positive Crab Apple state. They are realistic and consider the relevancy of the details available so they can cope with all that life presents. They consider the wider context and recognize that people can be influenced through encouragement and awareness towards more harmonious outcomes.
Being aware and calm such that they can take in all the elements of their experiences is a trait people in the positive Crab Apple state. This confident consideration ensures a great efficiency in their use of energy. Each task receives its required and relevant amount of time and effort. Perhaps their children have arrived home with wet feet. The practical health considerations are focused on; removing their wet attire, becoming dry, and banishing the cold. The cleanliness of the carpet will be maintained as best as possible without making its importance exceed the value of the persons involved.
Inner calm and integration with their surroundings, rather than being in competition for personal control, enables them to interact positively with caution and hopefulness, dispelling fear and despair, and effecting a positive outcome.
She realizes that external harmony is a reflection of her internal state of balance and that it is within her own power to make an inner change and in this way also influence the harmony of others. This realization keeps her focused in the Present, unafraid of the Past, nor projecting fears and insecurities into the Future.
Perhaps an option worked better than hoped for, yet it was an option that could be tried rather than surrendering to a lesser and more destructive outcome out of fear of failure or ridicule.
Thinking on their feet, they focus on where they are going and stay clam to seize the moment of success while others become lost in distractions. The mess is cleaned up rather than great amounts of energy being expended on describing, defining, and placing responsibility for the mess. A pause is better than a foolish reaction. Opening up to one's inner senses and to the timing indicated by Spiritual Guidance more clearly defines when the time is to act, wait, or listen.
"Good enough to get the job done," takes precedence over "Perfection at any cost of time and effort." Everyone does their part and does their best with what they have in terms of resources, access, and duration of involvement. Time is not spend explaining, defending, judging, or blaming. Instead, the positive Crab Apple person keeps focused on resolving difficulties into harmonies and knows that such success can only come from change and not from intentions and talking.
Sharing a potential collective reality rather than trying to own it, is a positive Crab Apple attitude. Negative Crab Apple influence is to be personally correct and right in comparison to others. The positive is an expression of finding the most constructive and harmonious outcome and accepting the personal humility of admitting the benefit of the contribution of others and the benefit of teamwork over individual effort.
Recognizing that the best alternatives are sometimes also the more difficult is another ability of Positive Crab Apple persons. There may not be time to engage fantasy and projection towards unrealized possibilities when known practicalities based on experience can save time, resources, and lives.
Focusing on the nature and impact of the outcome allows the positive Crab Apple state to avoid the self-interest distractions of confusion, anxiety, fear, pride, and laziness. If you don't take part and do your best, why should anyone else. If no one does so, there will be no change. No change, and what is a challenge, error, or danger now --- will simply grow in magnitude of potential disaster.
Good leaders often arise from positive Crab Apple persons through their willingness to utilize the political benefit of numbers to resolve problems shared by many persons.
